    Hardly any cold air through any of the ceiling vents in my Prowler

    I used some flashing I had but it is really too thin. I need to do a do-over with some thicker sheet metal 22ga maybe? I don't have a picture that shows it but on the end of the tent "wings" I bent those down 90* and secured the ends to the interior of the A/C box frame with two screws on...

    Hardly any cold air through any of the ceiling vents in my Prowler

    Of all the mods that we think are important that really is the only one I think should have been done at the factory. Night and day difference from before and after. I have been camping for 4 years in Texas summers with one 15K a/c unit in a medium 5th wheel size trailer, that wasn't going to...

    Bought a landmark Oshkosh-- my 17 f250 gas is not enough

    I don't think the wide track option happened on the 18's and I haven't seen it confirmed on the '19. It would be nice to have available but from Fords standpoint not sure it is worth it with the 450 being available.

    Not sure. I don't have a garage AC unit so my duct into the garage is my only duct into the garage. Not sure yet what is inside the rear vent housing as after doing the timk mod I just have not needed increased capacity of a second AC unit. I would like one for redundancy and backup but it...

    Emissions Delete Duramax

    Plenty of friends have deleted trucks, one even owns a transport company with 20+ deleted duramaxes. There is a common thread with all of them, they are financially able to defend themselves in the event of a problem. To me buying a truck with a 5yr 100,000 mile warranty and deleting it in...

    Great job on the under body storage rack. Here is a link for other home gamers to find similar type boxes. I have been brain storming building something similar and was going to fab boxes but this might be allot easier.

    SeeLevel Tank Monitoring System

    I think that is the point of the SeeLevel gauges, they don't foul like the continuity type sensors. Check rvgauge.com for more information.

    Airbags for truck rear suspension

    Re: Airbags Anyone use air bags on a '18 F350 DRW yet? A friend who camped with us last week put a set on his 18 and both bags rubbed the tires and blew in 100 miles. Riderite said if the frame to tire clearance was less than 7.5" they wouldn't work. He has a stock truck, tires and all only 1...

    We made it to lake Ouachita State park no problem. The level-e-nuff system worked excellently on a slightly off level site right to left but decently sloped front to rear. This type of sight usually causes me problems because the front or rear stabilizer jacks can't reach the ground. With the...

    We're getting loaded up for a week in Arkansas and the Level-enuf worked very smoothly to get stabilized and level in the front of the driveway. It's s 3 point leveling system with 4 points of stabilization for a total of 7 points of ground contact. BAL ended up releasing a similar system...

    Tow Vehicle Tires

    I used to suggest BFG AT until I had 2 throw the tread and destroy my truck... I used to suggest Toyo Open Country until I had 2 break tread belts on one trip to Branson, MO... The Toyos do last longer than the BFG's at the expense of more tread noise.

    What about just buying a Y connector then reversing the one for the new panel and installing that in-line. No mods to the original suitcase or the new panel only the low $ Y connector?

    My interior has all LED lights which is great but they are pretty bright (also good) but at night when I'm trying to relax or set the "mood" I would like it toned down some. JR product sells LED dimmers that are really nice but they are $60ish dollars each. That's too rich for this tight ***. I...

    "Heartland" brand tires

    I used Simpletire.com for my S637 Sailuns and just today ordered another spare shipped to the nearest NTB for install at $124. NTB will charge for the high pressure steel stem and mount/balance/rotate. I would prefer to just pull into Discount and have them throw on a set of tires but at the...

    I recently upgraded the tow vehicle to a 2018 F-350 with the ultimate camera system. I purchased the camera/TPMS system off E-bay and have started the install on the trailer. TIP: I found various part numbers for this kit. The most current part number is HC3Z-19G490-J and has a retail price I...

    I have hated the obscure glass of the front & rear entrance doors. I saw the shaded windows on E-bay and recently found them on Camping World and Dyers at a price I am comfortable spending. Very simple process to change just remove the old screws and frames clean the old butyl and install the...

    I would like to add a second plug for shore power - Any issues?

    Not being a elechicken I might use something like this. There is nothing wrong with the ATS for this purpose I would prefer to not add a complicated piece of switch gear if I can avoid it.

    EZ Snap RV Shades

    Side note too on the Reflectix in the windows. I had both my door glass frames melt and drop the window glass into the door from the reflected heat off the reflectix. Something to consider, and possibly the reflectix is superheating the window frames from the inside out.

    REPAIRED: Furnace blower not running properly (bad motor)

    Re: Furnace blower not running properly I got this T-shirt... The screws as I recall are 8 point not Torx, you use the #2 square to get them out. The "star" appearance fooled me.

    RG 2X ToyHauler Owners - Where do you store your table when toy hauling?

    My solution was to burn mine... Its a terrible design really and I replaced my table with a 5' "lifetime" fold in half table. Much more versatile and allows me to use it where I see fit, outside/inside etc.

    Electric Tongue Jack Installed - 2014 Wilderness 2175RB

    I think you will find the trip current of a circuit breaker to be higher than a similarly sized fuse. In all cases the CB will be more forgiving of "motor" current draw and that is the reason most are spec'd that way. This article doesn't address ATC fuses but might be helpful none the less.

    Exhaust Brake

    Exactly, Jake brakes are a different beast. The true Jake break is a "engine" brake where as we and other light duty diesels have "exhaust brakes". Check youtube for explanation if you are interested.

    Not really haha. Allot of this stuff I type makes perfect sense to me when I typed it, the next day not so much! I was just trying to make sure everyone was aware your truck (LBR) doesn't have a double overdrive transmission so it't not really the best test bed for the question. While I agree...

    Ram 5500 w/ 4.88 gears

    Hard to say, could have something to do with peak hp/tq numbers, parts interchangeably between models or ??? After coming from a 4r100 with the 3 speeds and a single OD the 6 speed double OD transmissions are one of the greatest improvements in these modern trucks (all brands) the upcoming...

    Ram 5500 w/ 4.88 gears

    But the truck in question has a single .71 over drive and the mythical truck has a .63 double overdrive like the .67 ratio of the 6r140 in the 11+ Ford and the .61 OD in the Allison 1000. That .6x gear ratio in the top OD makes a huge difference in highway RPM.

    Great! we are on the same page. I don't have allot to add about changing that relay box but I do question just "changing" it out.

    I really think you guys would have to hear this "clicking" and its source to understand the problem. On my buddies Cyclone everything worked correctly, EMS on 50 amp pedestal says all is good. The clicking is on/off relay noise for 3ish cycles and is originating from the bedroom A/C unit no...

    My buddy just had this problem in his 4115 cyclone said it drove him bonkers. I found this thread on another forum that sounds like the problem and the solution. It is not a furnace noise at all it is in the Roof A/C unit relay box and is a relay(s) clicking on/off. If this is the...
