This might not work if your trailer is "actively" being used; but for longer term storage, we have done the following with great success. We bought a roll of 15" wide aluminum flashing. Cut a length to go around your tires, standing up on edge. A clamp of some sort or a couple of small bolts...

Learn how to inspect and repack your wheel bearings. Yes, that is grease on the brake shoes. It's not that hard to do, but everything is riding on this job (pun intended). If you're not comfortable doing this job yourself, by all means find someone to do it for you. I (state your name) promise...

We pull a 2013 Gateway 3200 with a 2011 F350 SRW and a Curt Q20. Have nothing but good to say with the Q20. Have pretty much zero chucking over the last 4 years.

Just another opinion here; but the 6.7 has so much torque that it can spin the 3.55 with ease. If you are approaching weight limits, or regular giant mountain climbs the 3.55 is super. Our 2011 SRW pulls our 14k lb 5er with ease. Have not hit a hill yet that slowed it down.

I used a large C-clamp to press the bushings in to the spring eyes. Made a quick & easy job of it without risking hammering on the bushings in any way. Mashing out the old plastic bushings don't really matter at that point.

There is also a CD available from at least some of the COE campgrounds. We asked if there was a list, or a book available and the campground host pulled a CD out from under the counter for us.

Thank you to everyone for the replies; most helpful indeed, and some terrific points made. I did pull the power distribution panel out and found that the shore power cord come up thru the floor directly under the cabinet; it does not take a trip thru the basement. However, that cabinet does abut...

Thank you for the replies. That is mostly the conclusions I have come to as well; that the converter is not part of the picture, and that i need to get to the back of the circuit breaker panel to cram the EMS in there someplace. Our shore power cord enteres the rig in the rear, and not near the...

So, after reading so many posts about campground electrical issues, we decided to add the progressive industries EMS-HW50C. Question I have is; where (electrically) does this need to be wired in? Our rig is a Gateway 3200rs. We do not have the generator prep package, nor do we have any generator...

Suggest you look at King Phillips Campground (Lake George); stayed there a couple of times now, recommended. the "French mountain" sites are pretty out-of-the-way/remote/quiet/dark sites

Coincidence that there are so many reports of "towmax/blomax" victims....? I think not. We are going to a whole new set of 4 Goodyear G614's at $300 each at this point, even though we have only 8k miles on these made-in-china junk. Not pleased with having to replace these junk tires in our...

We ended up just pushing the wall back as far as we felt comfortable without pinching anything. I bought a yard of similar black felt that matched the existing fabric to cover some additional particle board required to push the walls back as far as I did. Picked up a full 6 inches of floor space...

I love my Ford too

This may not be the "easiest" solution, but I physically weigh the tank using a $10 luggage scale from Walmart. Every tanks has a tare weight stamped into the tank. Admitedly, it somewhat inconvienent to remove the tank to weigh it, but if you can do that without disconnecting the hose, its not...

If you do not already own teh F250, and are debating the difference between F250/F350 SRW, consider this, the cost difference between F250/F350 is relatively small. The GCVW's are relatively close, but the payload difference is substanialy between the two. If you haven't purchased yet, then go...
