    Diesel Additives

    I have always used a fuel supplement since day one. I personally don't notice a better idle or increased MPG -or maybe just a very slight increase.............but I use it for lubricity. The FCU on my truck has a final output pressure of about 25000 PSI and anything that we use to make the...

    POLL: To Slide, or Not to Slide...

    I've only been pulling my Sundance for about 4 months...but I'm impressed with their front cap. I've done U-turns in parking lots and even with the wheel to the stop, I still have about 1 foot of clearance to go before I'll "kiss the cab". Now backing up is a different story, but I have had it...

    Minimum recommended tools for fulltimer?

    For all of us diesel guys..........I never leave home without a spare fuel filter and strap wrench to remove it. I've never had a batch of bad fuel yet, but it seems to happen to some people too often, and then your day just turns to "bad" while parked on the side of the road. Duct tape...oh...

    Factory Brake controller on GMC 2500HD

    newbie...... You have been receiving some great info from several posters, but just to clarify.....everyone (including me) is giving you advice on what setting to use. As you can see, everyone has a number that seems to work for them. There are many factors that could contribute to these wide...

    Where is the radio antenna?

    No antenna on my 2007 2800RLS:confused:

    Items you can't live without

    I would like to recommend a 'upgraded' water pressure regulator. I spend about $40 on an adjustable higher flow model, and the showers are almost "like home" now!

    Over the stove light

    I too felt that our stove light was way too dim. I went to our local auto parts store, and just got a new clear bulb. The light is now about 3 times as bright!!:)

    water pressure

    I undid my shower fitting, and my restrictor popped right out using my thumbnail. If you put a toothpick thru the small small, it is very easy to remove it, and now my shower flow is now much better. Last month I also purchased a Shurflo Extreme 5.7 water pump. Wow.....the increase in water...

    Brake Control

    I completely agree with the others that have told you to do a complete reset and be very familiar with the set up procedure. My first brake controller was a Tekonsha Voyager, which was very 'herky jerky'. I found that I had to make adjustments to it on a daily basis to make the rig brake...

    Preventive Maintenance (leaks)

    Here is one that I found to be loose on my rig. Check every sink drain (there is a large nut that can be tightened by using your fingers). When I got mine home I noticed water 'weeping' from under my bathroom sink. I tightened it, and then checked my kitchen sink drains, and they were both loose...

    Excessive Noise and jerking with 5th Wheel Hitch

    I just thought that I'd let you fellows know that not all hitches are created equal! I bought a Reese 15K Pro Series. I'm not sure why it is called the "Pro Series" because it is entry level in cost and design. I have about 3/16" of play between the kingpin and the locking mechanism. Every time...

    Sundance Suggestions - kitchen range

    Same items on the 2800RLS. My better half won't light the oven pilot as she says that it is too difficult. The ignitor on the range would have been nice as well!

    Winterizing the water system

    Well, I put her away for the seaon. It was fairly easy to winterize the water system. First I blew out the lines, and then put 2 gallons of antifreeze into the empty hot and cold lines. It didn't take more than 1/2 an hour to do it. I sure got alot of crap out of the hot water tank when I...

    What size is too big?

    I've got a 2800RLS and I'm glad that I didn't buy any bigger! Many of the State campgrounds I visit in the Pacific Northwest were built 40-50 years ago when eveyone had 18 foot trailers. I've had a tough time getting into some spots, and many of them I can't go into at all now (Deception...
