Very nice job. Obviously you got the platinum instead of stainless since her magnets stick. We have the same exact fridge and love it a lot.

I agree with Trace. Central Texas is hard to beat in the winter. Very little wind and lower humidity than the coast. Having grown up in West Texas, I could't believe how nice the Fall, Winter, and Spring were, when I moved here in '79. Of course our summers are 5 months long.

My wife was born in WI and her parents are both Badgers, class of '50. I have toured all over that state with them a couple times over the years, but never in an RV. We especially enjoyed Door County. Enjoy while you can. I've never experienced your winter.

That's easy. Set it up as a separate vehicle while towing. Of course if you do both on the same tank of fuel, you can either omit that fill up or suffer some accuracy.

Fuelly.com. It's free. I have always logged my fuel and mileage in a book for tax purposes. Now I use Fuelly.com, but I still haven't given up the book, yet. I bought a '93 XLT when it was new. I believe I paid around 22,500 for it. I put 256K on it and sold it to our surveyor, who continued...

I assume you are speaking about a DRW since you referred to the 4.30's as an option. Here is my actual mileage while not towing, over 43K mi. It is strictly miles driven divided by gallons used, over a large number of miles and fillups. Don't get lured by the "Dreamer"

Just an idea for the elimination process. Check the J-box just outside the generator. There have been several cases, including mine, where the wiring was loose in the wire nuts. Mine would trip the breakers, then eventually burnt up the transfer switch. I found scorched wiring in the J-box. I...

pharmafrog, sorry for your troubles. If you read all the Towmax topics, you will see that there is often a 2nd failure shortly after. Not sure if it is due to damage caused during the 1st. I took my 4100 straight to Discount Tire and replaced 6 tires before ever hitting the road. I wouldn't...

The 2nd bath has it's own tank and dump valve. BTW, the lavatory also drains into that black tank too. I think they are even offering a sprayer for that tank now, which is a huge improvement.

Dish for mobile HD quality and getting local channels, Direct TV for customer service, for which Dish has none.

I pulled a 4100 for 17K mi. With my F350 CC DRW it was 61' bumper to bumper. 3 axles have a tendency to scrub if you turn tight. No getting around that. However, they are necessary if you want a big gargage and a decent size cabin. Just make sure you have quality tires and they will do fine. I...

You will figure out that the best way to keep your sanity and your RV is to learn how to make repairs yourself. ExploreUSA is just like any other dealer and at the mercy of the severe skilled labor shortage going on in Texas right now. I am dealing with this labor shortage myself, in the...

Hey Alex. That is one great looking RAZOR. Pretty ingenious way to make your space work. When I bought the 4100 with 12" garage, I was truly stumped that it only had 11' 0" clear space on the inside (3 season doors). Luckily my Mule was only 10' 10". I had one whole inch to spare front and back...

Looks to me like he is over the weight he registered the truck for but well within the truck's GVWR.

Re: B&W OEM companion hitch information Beck-mark, my apologies. I was thinking lithium and I said silicon. It is the white lithium spray that I used, WD40 brand. It makes a very minimal mess.

I agree with RoadJunkie. With a long bed, move the weight as far forward as possible. The Ford side rails are not as tall as the GM I had previously. I ran mine on the middle height position and had tons of clearance for the bed rails. I sprayed the nylon shoulders with silicon spray every time...

This is over 15,781 towed miles only with my former 2013 F350 DRW towing the 4100. We crossed the scales at 30,350. I wish my diesel pusher would get anywhere close to this.

The $7000 deal is due to DEF getting past the filters and into the injectors and injector lines. Not sure how that plays out differently with Rams, but I wouldn't want to give it a try. Unfortunately I know more than one case of this happening here in town, let alone here on the forum.

The most likely cause of burnt wiring is a loose connection. It is rarely due to an overload, which will usually trip a breaker before burning the wires. I agree with the PD over the Surge Guard, whether hard wired or portable.

I never had any trouble with my Norcold, but knew that it would come one day. It never really kept things very frozen. I believe they actually use more power while running on AC than a new residential fridge. Now we love our residential fridge. IMO, unless you simply tow from one FHU site to...

We love our RF 18, so far. Good luck with the install.

The only rigs I know of that try to run AC's off off batteries have 16 6V batteries and two inverters. Even then they are very limited to how much run time. I have 6 batteries and can run the RF easily overnight, with a little TV, satellite, and LED lights.

If you are into testing and changing oil based on test results, it may be feasible. If you are one that is going to change it every 5K no matter what, it is a waste of money. I put 35-40k on my truck every year. No way am I going to pay for synthetic and the cost of testing 3-4 times per year...

Just another new chapter. We loved our 4100. We really miss the patio, and so do our dogs.

Nothing else needed. It matches the pucks perfectly.

I'm partial to B&W. I had both the Turnover Ball Companion and the Ford OEM Companion. Whatever you get, get one that matches the pucks. It would be a shame to not utilize that option of easy removal, 2 min in/out, no tools. Best option Ford ever came out with IMO.

Congratulations. You did everything we would have done on a 2nd one. Sounds like a really nice rig. There were not many things we didn't like with our 4100, just needed a few upgrades like yours. Although, I have to say that we really liked the vessel sink.

You might want to do a little more research about the level of discharge. The commonly used benchmark is 50%. If you constantly go below that you will shorten your batteries life drastically. This applies to both high-end flooded lead acid batteries like Trojans and AGM's. Lithium ions may be...

Just got a quote for 8 Lifeline GPL-4CT from Centex Battery in Bastrop TX. He also priced the size 8D and 4D 12V batteries. No delivery since Bastrop is only about an hour away.

Re: ATF: Landmark - Residential Refrigerator You will probably have to do some minor modifications for the height. The Samsung RF18 is a little taller than the Norcold. Some people sacrifice the drawer space below. We lost space in the cabinet above. The RF18 has been great so far.

Nic. All new brake assemblies instead of just pads.

Not sure which axles you have Lippert or Dexter. You should contact them with the axle ID No. and your VIN. They can give you the axle build sheet for your axles and it lists all the part numbers. Any parts store can cross reference those numbers. This is good for brakes, bearings, seals, etc.

If you are going the cheap route, go with 2 GC-2's instead of two 12V marine batteries. If you are going the medium price route (true deep cycle lead acid, I.E. Trojan) 6V vs 12V is a toss up. Same thing can be said for High-end AGM's.

Am I crazy or am I seeing two AC connections coming out of his inverter and into the J-box? Then 2-in / 2-out of the J-box. What else would explain his TV's and Microwave having power while not connected to shore power nor with the generator running. It sounds like CW has admitted to having...

I don't have it but I can tell you right now that I like it already. Especially if it is spot on like the tailgate cameras for backing up.

I kept one LR table top flipped upside down on the sofa with the legs attached, sort of shoved under the back cushions. It never budged. That way it was easily accessible when we stopped for a quick overnighter. The other LR table top stowed between the wall and the couch. The large table in the...

Very nice job Alex. I was thinking you were looking at a Hybrid inverter at one time. Since you eliminated the switch, shouldn't you be able to run all 3 AC's at once, when connected to 50A?

That was always my thoughts too. It already has all the necessary components for a w/d. H/C water, electrical, and an independent gray water tank. I never used it as a toilet because it was just one more step when dumping and the tank didn't have a flushing assembly. I never wanted to give up...

Digital OTA is often better than even satellite HD. A lot of people won't believe that, but I can flip back and forth at home and OTA is a noticeably better picture. OTA will also work when satellite goes out, due to approaching storms.

I had a L-shaped 60 Gal RDS in my Chevy and l liked it a lot. It fit under my R-K toolbox. When I traded it for the F350 DRW, I had a 67 gal Titan OEM replacement installed by the dealer, and it was even better. The computer gets re-programmed so the gauge and MTE calculations are correct...
