    Unable to Auto Level

    I think it was E-Trailer that had this solution for a different code than I had. Mine did not really have a code except "excessive angle" It made sense to me that recalibration might work. I did exactly as you outlined, and I achieved the coveted success light. I intentionally unleveled it and...

    Charging camper batteries while driving down the road

    Here is my solution. First you guys that want to run residential refrigerators while running down the highway, PROBABLY need just a little more than what your 7 pin is supplying to your batteries on the average trip. Your electric brakes are powered by a combination of your 7 pin and your...

    Exhaust Brake

    The RAM owners manual cautions against using the "exhaust brake" in slippery conditions. But I can tell you if you have not towed in the mountains with that exhaust brake you don't know what a jewel it is.

    Hooray, I am now legal!!!!

    The only TX. CDL exempt class A is an RV exemption, some military, firefighter, and farm exemption, I cannot find where you can pull a 40-foot gooseneck float with an exempt class A.

    Sewer smell when flushing toilet - Need fresh ideas

    I have had this problem but nowhere near as severe as you have described. I don't know how this relates to you but I don't mix chemicals. Mine is temporary and seems to involve being transported in hot weather. My cure is to drain at first hookup, flow about 5 gallons of fresh water in all tanks...

    How to reset Norcold 1200 series refrigerator high temperature limit switch

    An interesting thing happened to me that may relate to this. We power washed our rig and got the high limit no user serviceable parts message too. Background; I have never had satisfactory service from our unit, I accepted it because I thought that the higher Texas ambient temps were the cause...

    Anyone else having problems with RAM 3500?

    Let me re-open this thread with something you might not know yet. I have had trouble with my 2013 RAM 2500 6.7 messaging "Service Air Filter" for seemingly no reason. Old air filter or new the message sets whenever you ask for a little extra power. If you are having this problem then you need...

    To delete or not delete (DPF/EGR)

    To the OP, no-one knows engineering like the OEM, It takes a gallon of fuel to tow a large travel trailer 10 miles, I don't care what you do, there is only so much energy in 1 gallon of diesel, and there is X amount of energy required to pull the whole rig 10 miles. Your question was "is it...

    Tires...

    LT's are cheaper and more plentiful. and their ratings although lower are in actuality much higher than STs. Don't believe it, go weigh a set. One is like slippers and the other like boots.

    2nd time failure on Onan 5.5 LP

    I have a BC3650RL, and my 5.5 can run everything on my coach. Never had a problem. You have an undiscovered issue, that has nothing to do with the size of your Onan unit. 30a per leg is a lot of amps to work with. I'm thinking that you are entering the coach and inadvertently firing up...

    Tow Vehicle- MODS

    Tow vehicle mods? I have one for your A/C that may be unexpectedly losing performance. Perhaps you find yourself sneezing while driving. You may already know this, but if you don't, this is something I found out about. I hope that I'm not repeating something already known to the group. I...

    Battery Load and Longevity?

    Considering the battery has no manufacturing flaws, and is maintained properly at a full charge, the life of a battery is dependant on a finite number of charge cycles. Deeper discharges "exponentially" shorten battery life. For example a battery may only have 500 50% discharge/charge cycles...

    Dually v.s. Single rear wheel for towing stability.

    I guess you told me.......LOL, but like you said whatever floats your boat. I sense your hostility, but I would not expect anything less from a member of the Dually Tribe. Interesting that my original post was crafted not to offend those that drive duallys and was directed at potential buyers of...
