I dont doubt that one at all, after owning several of the big 3 if you're buying new parts the Ram with those Mopar parts are always expensive with Ford and Chevy being the cheapest. If you're getting used parts from a salvage I'd have to say hands down Chevy is where you'll find all the cheap...

Wow that really is a lot of squat, I've definitely loaded down an F350 and haven't seen that much squat before. I wonder why because as I understand it, it should have stiffer suspension and better tow package than a F350 would. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Haha I'm thinking the Ram 3500 just cause the better MPG and I think the F450 might be more truck than I'll ever come close to using. I've had quite a few 3/4 and 1 ton Ford, Chevy and Dodges but I dont have any experience with a 450 in any vehicle make. I always really liked my Fords and...

I read that one a little while back it was a pretty good read but I'm not too big on Chevys I've had a few and I always had to work on them :-/ but an upside is the parts for them are everywhere! I made a hard decision when I bought my used Ram 2500 with 30k miles on it because I could've had...

Re: New RV Owner I would recommend one or two dehumidifiers. We run two in ours, one in the living area and one in the bathroom. That humidity can definitely cause some problems. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

So which truck is a better route to go a Ford F450 diesel crew cab long box 4x4 dually or a Ram 3500 diesel crew cab long box 4x4 dually? The Ram gets better fuel mileage and isnt as nice a trim package compared to the same priced F450 and is a smaller truck, the F450 is a bigger truck, worse...

That's awesome! So glad to hear you finally got ol christine off there! Lol Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Haha hopefully Christine gives it back to you! I'd sure be curious once you do get her off how you wound up doing it. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

On the backside of your tow package where the reciever slides in might not be completely closed off and if that's the case you might even be able to crawl under there with a can of WD40 and spray the back side of your tow package where the receiver hitch slides in then take a flat bar and sledge...

I'm not sure if it would work I've never done it but you may be able to completely remove the locking latch up top and see about getting a punch in there to knock the wedge loose but if you go that route you might not be able to put it back together if need be especially if you broke it off...

I meant trailer jack all the way up NOT down, i'm not sure how to edit that post, sorry... Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Use a crescent wrench on top arrow since you probably cant fit a pipe wrench on the top arrow and then use a pipe wrench on bottom arrow although you can use two crescent wrenches instead of the pipe wrench I just think theres sometimes more bite with a pipe wrench. If for whatever reason you...

It might be easier to undo the balls nut with it in tow mode (trailer jack all the way down) so the trailer isnt pulling upward as your loosening the nut up. I would use a pipe wrench on the nut and a crescent wrench above the nut to keep the ball from potentially spinning as you loosen the nut...

At least by doing that you'll have your truck back and just have to deal with getting the ball removed. If you do go that route you might be able to re-thread the nut back onto the ball and wrap a chain in between the ball and the nut and the other end of the chain to your truck and slightly...

That's what I was figuring as well and how I've always gotten mine off if they were stuck but it could be the angle the truck is at compared to the camper either before pulling off or during the pull off that could be pinching the reciever into the tow package that's the only thing I can see...

I'd definitely agree that taking the ball off might be really hard to get back on if you had to but that might be a viable option if like john said you can get the camper up high enough maybe even use a hi lift jack to do just dont let the handle hit you when using one cause it'll hurt like the...

I've had that happen to a couple trailers in the past and have wound chalking the wheels to guarantee the trailer wont move, un-hooked the pin that holds the reciever then punch the throttle on the truck hard and fast to suck out the receiver and then hit the brakes just as fast take a small...

You could probably do something like with an inverter if you could run the wires from the inverter into there. The sky is the limit when it comes to adding things! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Being thin I'd bet more on it being 12V. An inverter might be a little big to squeeze in there but you could potentially run romex into that hole from a 120V receptacle that's close and add another usable receptacle there. They even make receptacle safes that you can hide jewelry in of you...

It may also be an access panel to access those wires in the future or to run those wires if it made it easier for them and then they put a blank cover on it to hide the hole. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I'm not sure why they would put one there unless it was pre wiring for something that wasnt hooked up or for something to be hooked up in the future. I've seen that done in some houses. When you find out what voltage it is you might be able to wire a plug there that's usable. The gage of the...

I personally would unplug from shore power just in case it is 120V you don't wind up blowing your meter by overloading it and if it doesn't read I'd plug it back in and test for 120V or go vice versa and check for 120V then 12V. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Haha 10 years that's pretty good for a tv I'd say! I went into best buy about a month ago and looked at some of the TVs they have for sale and I felt like I was in another world! The quality on those things are amazing nowadays, it makes ours look like we use rabbit ears and tin foil! Sent from...

Ours doesnt have a ceiling fan, I sure wish it did but theres been a few things I've used loc-tite on in there. It's one one of those miracle workers like duct tape and super glue lol Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

You might be able to put some loc-tite on the screws that should keep them from backing out, they make different colors for the different strengths. I usually use blue loc-tite for everything. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

That's absolutely awesome! Hope yall get to see lots of cool sites and have lots of fun! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Try some peanut butter and a rat trap, nice quiet and super effective. I'll be over for dinner when you fry em up! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

It could also be the tires on your truck causing the unsafe sway. I pulled my camper to get service done on it using the factory truck tires which were getting replaced the same day as the camper service was being done. I went from the truck running Firestone Transforce AT over to Goodyear...

I was wondering if that would be a future problem along with maybe wearing out the pin that goes through the hole from all that play. Knock on wood we haven't had that or any other issue with it yet. How did you wind up getting her out? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

We use a reducer sleeve on our Ram 2500 and have towed it close to about 10,000 miles and haven't had any problems so far. I inspect it pretty regularly just cause there is some play that comes with using the sleeve but I haven't even noticed any wear marks. We're using the E2 weight...

I knew it would try the auto ignite 3 times before sending a DSI failure and shut off the propane using a solenoid that's why I was thinking in theory it seems as though you could bypass the electronics and go with a manual ignition. If I remember correctly when I was a kid our old propane water...

Our unit is 1 year and 1 month old as of yesterday so the warranty just ran out a month ago. I emailed Atwood earlier today to see if they had any suggestions but I haven't heard back from them yet. I'll contact the dealer tomorrow and see if they can offer any assistance as well maybe they can...

I didn't think about the dinosaur boards, I replaced my old campers water heater with one of those and I never had any issues out of it. I'll take a look and see if they make one that'll fit as a replacement for this one. So far after less than a year and having to buy a 3rd board I'm not super...

That makes sense, do you think it's possible to unplug the bad trigger transformer and replace it with a new one? I was thinking that it was a relay that they had coated in a rubberized liquid black tape that could be taken off and then replaced with a new one from an auto parts store for much...

I have an Atwood hot water heater and I'll be on my 3rd potted circuit board when I get around to buying another one. I've had two of them go bad at the relay, you can see in the picture where the relay has bubbled up in two places I'm assuming from a short circuit inside it or something else. I...

Looks like you did such a good job, I'll let you come clean ours while your at it [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Haha so I assumed it was a radio but after googling it, it's showing it's a power amp so that adds a bit more troubleshooting. You could check to make sure that none of your speakers are blown or shorting out since that can activate the "short circuit switch" inside the amp. Also check to ensure...

Also of it has a removable faceplate try to remove it and then plug it back in, I had a pioneer that sometimes would lose connection while driving on bumpy gravel roads and that would fix the issue. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

The radio itself should have a fuse located somewhere near the wiring harness that plugs into the radio that may have blown. You might have to unplug the wiring harness on the radio to see it. You could also use a test light or a multimeter to ensure when it's plugged in theres power going to...

No problem! Hopefully it works out pretty good. One of these days I'd like to change ours out too but I'm trying to hold out and see if I can find one that's a bluray player to hook to the tv. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
