Possible frame flexing, water intrusion causing rusting of screws

In my over 28 years of service Yes I have had to draw my weapon many times. Back in the day it was almost standard procedure on the 11pm-7am (graveyard) shift to approach any vehicle stopped with your sidearm in your hand. It was an Officer Safety thing. The only time I actually discharged my...

Until NHTSA get enough complaints nothing will be done about them. ***

On my previous truck I got 85000 miles on the original brake pads. We have disc brakes on our RV. On our current truck we still have the original brake pads and have 57000 miles on the truck. Should get 85k or more on the pads. But also I am not a heavy braker. I see many driver wait until...

Re: Pin Box Tearing Away From Frame A Forest River Product...hmmmmm

Thanks for the info

Tires are designed (wouldn't trust China bombs) to handle the ambient temperatures. The psi will increase as the tires heat up. That is one of the reasons the sidewalls indicate a cold psi. Our G114 H rated tires with a cold psi of 120 will get up to 145-148 psi while traveling in the summer...

Correct

You can tip the awning if out during the rain (no wind) to allow the rain to drain off. Also it allows you to tip the awning to block the sun if it is at an angle. Keep in mind the door might hit the awning if tipped too low.

I would suggest you buy ($507) a regional membership to Thousand Trails. You can then 'camp' at Thousand Trails Lake Conroe in Willis or Thousand Trails Columbus (Tx). You will be able to stay 14 days for free than you have to leave the system for 7 days then again 14 days etc. In the...

You may be able to order the outdoor unit only. I did

If you have the Whisper Quiet system both ACs work to cool the ENTIRE coach. So there should be cool air blowing out of all of the 'exhaust' vents. The return air vents have a piece of foam on them which is the filter and should be rinsed out periodically to keep it clean. The water that...

There are alot of variables in pin weight. Ours is 3800 on our current Landmark and was 4350 on our previous one. Not even close to the listed one. We had a 40 foot Alfa Gold that weighed 16200 and has a pin weight of 2800 but it had 3 axles.

We have always been happy with the service we have gotten from Mor-Ryde. Gary is a great guy and Sergio in service knows his job. Thanks for being a great American company.

"Camping" in your driveway has it advantages especially if something goes wrong with the coach. Congratulations and welcome to the club.

Re: Changing Tires & 6pt Level Up System I would recommend you unhitch as it could cause damage to the hitch if lifted too much. I changed mine after I unhitched on side at a time.

I once used awning tape (it is a clear cellophane tape) to cover a hairline crack until I got it fixed. I just wanted to seal it from water intrusion. The awning tape is very sticky and held up very well under all weather conditions.

Set your temp on about 68-72 and leave it there. If you only have one AC unit good luck in cooling the RV in the summer heat in Houston. We are in the Houston-San Antonio area most of the time and are lucky if we can cool our unit to 77 in the summer heat. We also use a tower fan to circulate...

I have the compressor for the on-board air bags on one.

Excessive idling wastes fuel.

It is not all that unusual for the converter to come unplugged due to vibration while traveling down the road. Many have used a zip tie to secure the plug to the outlet and solved the problem

I know they were all on securely as they have been on without issues for months. The only thing i can figure out is when entering Buc-EEs in Bastrop TX they steep driveway caused the skid wheels to drag on the rear of the Coach (DW was following me and saw them drag) and that might of knocked...

There are 3 - 30amp fuses on the power converter that could be blown causing the converter not to work. As a temporary fix you can hook a battery charger up to the battery to keep it charged until you get the converter working. Betcha the converter came unplugged.

I would certainly want to let the RV Repairman take care of this so it is documented since the unit is probably still under warranty, that way there is a record of the problem in case of water damage in the future.

I have seen UPS and Fed Ex truck hauling 3 trailers usually on the interstate or turnpike up north. That type of setup is not used in cities.

This title of this thread is Quadruple Tow. Doesn't quadruple mean 4? And are they now towing 2 which would be double tow? (2 trailers). :)

Sounds to me what you are describing is not enough weight on the front of the tow vehicle which will cause the truck to wander. In other words there is too much weight on the rear of the tow vehicle. This can be caused by an improper setup of the WDH.

We are staying home. Got home yesterday in the pouring rain to find 3 leaks in our roof at home. So that is my weekend project. Leaking around front door (recaulked and fixed that) and plexiglass on skylight is cracked and it is leaking around n exhaust fan in the utility room. And it is...

We use the Good Sam warranty service. Most dealers and mobile servicers accept the Good Sam extended warranty and do not accept many of the others. Good Sam is not near that expensive. Besides most of the things that go wrong can be fixed by yourself.

Check the drain itself to see if debris has it stopped up. When you pull the drain (open) the water should drain out. Most units have 2 gray tanks one for the galley (kitchen) and one for the shower/sink. If you have two you should have two handles to open the tanks drain. Also some travel...

Take it to the dealer and have them check it. It may have set a code and there may be a TSB on it too. Mine had one the mechanics in the service department were unaware of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Funny the dealers don't know that much about the tow haul issues. Mine didn't either when mine kept down shifting too much too quick causing the engine to over-rev. Luckily there was a TSB on that issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey Terry if yall want something to do after you go FT let me know and we can talk. We are having fun working for Southeast Publications where you can travel where you want and make money too.

Yesterday I was on a lot that was selling used RVs. They had 6 used units and 5 of the 6 were Heartland Products. All of the Heartland products had delamination issues. Not looking good for Heartland on that lot. Don't know what year they were but one was a North Trail Travel Trailer, one...

Just so everyone understands how the whisper quiet is designed ... you cannot access the air conditioner from the inside of the coach. It does not stick into the inside of the coach. The ceiling is one solid piece and on the off-door side there are louvered opening about every 3 feet the...

About a month ago after traveling some 280 miles we arrived home to find we lost one Snap Pad from the rear door side jack. Don't know how it came off. Called Snap Pads and they shipped us a replacement at no charge. Great Customer Service. Now the only problem is UPS delivered the...

Us too. I discovered the duct extends 36-38 inches beyond the last vent into the front and rear caps. I have blocked this dead space by making a 'dam' out of cardboard covered with aluminum AC foil tape. It has helped but what helps the most is removing the last louvered vent. There is...

Re: Wrong TV Rig??? Before you bite the bullet and buy a new tow vehicle please research the tow rating on the Big 3, Chevy, Dodge and Ford. When checking look at them similarily outfitted. Our 2012 Ford F350 FX4 Dually has a 6.7 Liter Diesel with the 3.73 rear end. It is rated to securely...
