    Anderson valve

    You do not have to turn the valve from "city" to get water out of the holding tank with the pump. There is no need to use the dry camping position on the valve. The valve was designed so you don't have to change positions all time from stop to stop and use the pump when not hooked up to city...

    Broken Spring Hanger

    This might be one case to do a little welding. Some people have welded a small plate over the open end of the spring hanger for reinforcement.

    Broken Spring Hanger

    The MorRyde X Factor for the Correct Track has the part number U021-015 . The X Factor for the equilizer and non Correct Track has a different part number. Lippert has a sales U Tube video that shows the action of their equilizer. In this video, you can see the spring hangers flexing on the...

    Fresh water leak at oulet

    There are a couple ways to repair a crack in a tank. They involve welding ( melting ) a strip of polyethylene repair material to the cracked area. You can do this with hot air or a polyethylene repair welder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv14eNJmUeU...

    Slideout floor damage and Parkland slide repair kit?

    You can buy the 105 adhesive from Amazon. I am not sure of the plastic that Parkland used but 105 will stick to ABS. ABS is the stuff used in black plastic drain pipe. You can but thin sheets of this stuff from a variety of places even Home Depot I think. ABS is tough as they used to make...

    ZEEMAX Trailer Express Tires

    Just for the heck of it, I checked a couple places on line for Endurance tires and they are available. Goodyear did cease production in March of this year but I think that they are operating now. Sailuns - yes, Zeemax -??? Do you like playing Russian Roulette.

    Tire Hardware

    You need a set of sockets for the trailer anyway. Lug nuts are around 3/4", 13/16" or 7/8" get these along with a long breaker bar. You will also learn quickly that you need to carry other tools as there is always something.

    Refrigerator Venting

    The top sheet metal baffle is supposed to direct air from the existing back side fans to wash over the top coils. This is supposed to help cool them off. The "sensor" to turn on and turn off the fans is a thermometer switch. This thermometer turns the fans on at about 130 degrees on off and a...

    Truck Topper

    A few years ago, a couple things were tried in an attempt to improve fuel mileage. One was a wing mounted on the cab and the other was the vented tail gate. Neither of these worked to significantly improve fuel mileage. This falls in the same category.

    Broken spring hanger

    When you say quicker, are you referring to the delay time in the brake actuator? Do you use the Titan actuator ( or whatever they call it now )?

    What length of extension cord???

    Just for me, I have never run into a park that only have 50 amp outlets. I have run into some goofy situations where I had to share a power outlet and in Phoenix at one place they would not let you use an adapter. If you had 30 amp you had to use the spots that had 30 amp and if you had 50 then...

    Dump Valve Issue

    Re: Valves As someone noted, this can be fixed. The valves are rebuildable with a simple O ring. The fun part is getting to the valve itself.

    Best route

    Yes, the route on US 287 will take you over a pass but this is not a white knuckle pass. This will actually bring you to where you can see spectacular shots of the Grand Tetons. The route from Rock Springs avoids a pass as far as I can remember. No matter which way you go, you will not avoid...

    Best route

    There are a couple different ways to go depending upon what you like to see. The shortest is by US 287 from Rawlins. However from Rawlins to Lander it is kind of boring. The other is to go to Rock Springs then turn north. A bit more scenic that way. You can spend a day in Rock Springs looking...

    No keys???!!!!

    If you, and everyone else, knows the key number, what is the point of the lock and being concerned about the key not being there. If you go to RVLOCKSANDMORE, they can supply slam locks and cam locks all keyed to the key the opens the entry door.

    Disk Brake Upgrade

    Dexter bought Titan and Kodiak. They still market the Titan actuator but not the brakes. The Brakes are marketed thru the Kodiak name. Both the Kodiak and Titan brakes were identical anyway.

    Disk Brake Upgrade

    There are four or five electric over hydraulic brake actuator that all work pretty well. Most of us have used the Titan actuator. With these type of brakes, there is a split second delay between brake pedal press to trailer brake actuation. The Titan is "supposed" to be the fastest. It also...

    Level-up gone wacky

    Have you tried to reset the system? I have has some success by removing the red wire to the control box for a couple seconds and then recalibrating the system. This may or may not work but its worth a try.

    Satellite or antenna

    Because you are on this forum, you must have some means to do so. If you have a computer with a internet signal in your unit, you can get a tv or an attachment to the tv to get some sort of streaming service. Some are free and many offer local tv.

    Another GFCI Issue

    Another thought. I would "assume" that the power would go from the circut breaker panel to the GFCI in the bathroom. This way, the bathroom GFCI would protect all outlets after it. Disconnect all the lines on the "load" side of the GFCI. If you have power on the line side and the GFCI does not...

    Another GFCI Issue

    Did you check the outlet side of the 120v breaker for the GFCI circuit in the box? If you have 120v power going to the circuit, then you can isolate the issue to the outlets or wiring on that circuit.

    Another GFCI Issue

    If you ceiling fan is not working, that is interesting. Are not ceiling fans run on 12v. DC? Are other 12v. things not working too? This could be a coincidence. Check the 12v. breaker for the ceiling fans..

    Need for replacing U Bolts when installing new shocks

    While bolts stretch under load most bolts to not exceed the point that they cannot return to their original length when the load is removed. The exception is if they were designed to do this ( torque to yield ) of they were over torqued. I think some one is trying to sell you something that you...

    Hail on the roof - how do you tell it’s damaged?

    You may want to look at the cooling fins on your air conditioner. Sometimes hail will compress the fins and hurt their efficiency. We get a lot of hail here in Colorado and this has happened to mine.

    Converter Chaos Bighorn 3610re 2010

    You are right in correcting me. I was not thinking clearly when I wrote this. I was having 12v issues and the solution was that the mini breaker was tripped. I thought my interior lights were out at the same time but as I try to remember the situation I cannot. I hope I did not mislead anyone...

    Converter Chaos Bighorn 3610re 2010

    A couple things. The 12 v power comes from the battery not the converter. This was stated but not to directly answer your first question or assumption. The battery charger is part of the converter. You stated that the charger failed. Well. it probably did not fail but the breaker tripped. The...
