    Grey Tank indicator misread

    While this seems like a good idea, it is not the best. I know a lot of people do this. What you are doing is venting the entire sewer system of the park through your vent pipe which could cause some odor issues.

    I have a mini split system in my house as I have hot water heat and no heat ducts. Works great.

    As far as the SharkBite, they will not vibrate off.

    Since Jim has never responded back, it probably that the amplifier was turned on.

    Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation

    I thought about doing something along this line as I prefer the crank down carrier to the Hide A Spare. The Hide A Spare is not easy to use.

    Unable to Auto Level

    The wire to unplug is the red wire that goes to the controller, at the controller. The controller is in the top center of the front compartment. This may or may not work in you case but it has worked for others. The red wire supplies power to the controller.

    Looking like Disk Brakes

    There are a few youtube videos that walk you thru the process, if you have some questions. These videos show the wiring connection at the junction box by the king pin. If you understand wiring you can wire the system without running a wire to this box but it takes some wire searching. If the kit...

    Leaking grey tank valve

    If you have the valve apart, replace the o rings. They are cheap.

    Looking like Disk Brakes

    You may be getting the wrong kit. I looked quickly at the specs and the wheel studs are 1/2". The wheel studs on a Bighorn are 9/16". Also, you may need to double flare the brake lines if the kit is not suited to your specific trailer. Make sure you get a decent flare tool. I tried to use a...

    Looking like Disk Brakes

    With electric over hydraulic brakes, there is a split second delay in the application of the hydraulic disk brakes. It almost unnoticeable but it there, It takes this to start the pump to build pressure for the brakes. Some brands of brake actuators are faster than others.

    I am almost positive that you have a switch inside someplace. Some are not identified very well.

    Air bag pressure

    The amount of air is it all "depends." It depends on the shocks, springs, bed length, pin weight, pin type and maybe a couple other things. That's the beauty of a controller in the cab. You can adjust as to what works best for you.

    Portable Generator Questions

    I have installed the Hutch Mountain devices on my Hondas and they work great. Personally, I don't think it matters is its ethanol free or not whether the carb gums up or not.

    Death of Direct TV

    It appears that the current "future" of TV is in streaming. Both Direct TV and Dish have streaming services. Maybe we should hold off and see what the "future" is next week.

    New pin box

    The Reese Fifth Airborne and the Trail Air are very similar and work equally well. The Morryde is a step down and hence the lower cost. The Fifth Airborne and Trail Aire both have and air bag and a shock absorber. Several years ago, I read a review where an individual bought both and compared...

    Who has upgraded to the MORryde pin box..?

    There is nothing wrong with the old hardware unless it was damaged during removal. Torque to spec and you will be fine. I would suggest also that you upgrade further to an air type of pinbox like a Fifth Airborne or a Trail air. Air bags on the pickup help further. Chucking is not only back and...

    Bending Stablizers on my 2019 Big Country

    The front jacks have more travel than the side and rear jacks ( levelers ). I actually lowered my side and rear levelers because of this. It only takes a few minutes to either raise or lower the levelers. We are assuming that you are talking about levelers and not rear stabilizers?

    Delete kit

    While I am not a tree hugger per se. People who do this have no respect for the environment. I don't like putting DEF fluid in the truck but, on the other hand it does work. It bugs me to see a truck putting out all that black smoke. The truck has plenty of horse power as is. If you want to go...

    waste handles - 3340

    I would flush them with lots of water from one of your inside fixtures. While getting a bit of black water in them is not the end of the world as they develop lots of bacteria from normal usage and develop a nice smell on their own. If it were me, I would still flush them out. Another point to...

    Another water pump ?

    I agree with Dan's suggestion. In my youth, we had and outdoor water pump in a pit to service the house. We just put a small light bulb in the pit and it never froze.

    water leak

    Bypass the anti-siphon valve altogether. Its not necessary. Place a check valve inside at the water connection for the flush. This will keep water from backing up into your hose should all else fail. A lot of us have done this. No sense ripping the wall apart if you do not have to.

    Monument Valley Advice

    Stay at Goulding's in Monument Valley. It is right across from the visitors center and it has a restaurant. If you are into photography, get in touch with a local as you will need this to get into great areas. By local I mean a native Navajo.

    Perhaps it is the strainer in your faucets/shower. Maybe they have crud in them. Have a check valve?

    Black-water ventilation

    One mistake a lot of folks make it that they do not use a sufficient amount of water in the flush and black tank. Sufficient water will help with the emptying of the tank, preventing accumulation of solid waste and keeping down odor. When I detect the tank odor a bit, I know it time to drain the...

    When to consider disc brakes

    There are a few things you can do. A 5200 axle by itself costs about $200. It is fairly easy to install. Another thing you can do is install self adjusting electric brakes ( assuming you so not have them ) to save money and help a bit. With manual adjusting brakes, most people do not adjust them...

    wheel bearings

    Another thing, make sure you tell whoever you ask what kind of brakes you have, electric or disk. For example, on a 7000lb axle, the disk brakes have a large outer bearing than and electric brake. On an 8000lb axle, everything is the same, disk or electric. A far as the grease seals, both sizes...

    Leak 2006 black water

    You probably will never make that mistake again. Never leave the flush area when the water is running on the flush system. If you close the valve to provide some fill, only close for a few seconds.

    Titan Disk Brake Rotors and Calipers.

    You can buy the pads at NAPA and Autozone but I do not think you can buy the calipers and rotors. However, I am not exactly sure. You can buy them at E trailer or Trailer Parts Superstore ( Eastern Marine ). The Titan name is going or has gone away and has been replaced by Kodiak ( both are...

    Lug Nuts/Torque

    The torque value specified is stated at a non lubed value. However. I respectfully disagree with the others a bit. There is no need to lubricate the studs but I don't believe that it will hurt if you choose to do it.
