    Replacing the top for a bathroom fan

    While your at it you should install a Maxxair type cover as well. It will keep any rain out and prevent the vent cover from cracking again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looking for first RV - North Trail Calibur Edition

    Olybldr55 you've got more then enough truck for the 24. Yours is the same as mine but the Ecoboost gives and extra 2000 pounds towing for some reason. My 28BRS is 8900 max GVWR and about 3000 under that dry weight and does just fine. Leatherneck when you pull a light weight travel trailer a half...

    Considering Ram 3500 DRW -- Would 18" Wheels be a Mistake with a 5th Wheel?

    I've heard some states have restrictions on tow vehicles with wheels over 17" in height. This may be changed recently as most factory trucks have larger wheels now. However, all the heavy laid packages seem to come with 17" wheels. Even on smaller trucks. As long as the outside diameter of...

    I want this

    Saw this and had to share it. VW bus with and old TT on the back. Looks great. Not practical with the lowering kit but like the matching paint in the original TTs colours. Anyone know the owner? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Backed into a tree!

    My Coleman tent trailer barely fit through the door of my old garage. I ripped the light, power cord door, and drain cap off the side. DW was a little slow on the warnings. I keep telling myself that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    F-150 Ecoboost

    I bought the 5.0L because it would handle what I wanted to tow and it was the first year for the Ecoboost in the F150. The mpg ratings weren't far apart when I looked at the window sticker either. I do see lots of them on the roads pulling heavy loads though. Only time will tell. Sent from...

    Special Endorsement For 'Heavy' Trailer Towing For BC Residents

    I know Ontario upped the max weights a couple of years ago to align with other provinces and most US states. I'd check with the ministry if transportation or RCMP to get the definitive answer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dinette versus Table

    I think it feels more like a home with the table and chairs. It's more like camping with the dinette as even the smallest tent trailers come with a booth dinette. For now I like the booth for storage and guest quarters. Down the road when the kids are gone I can see wanting the table and chairs...

    TIRES and SAFETY

    Perhaps ST tires with their lower speed ratings should be left to low speed trailers hauling hay. Today's RVers are traveling on highways and interstates with HD trucks and the same horsepower and torque as the Peterbuilts and Kenworths hauling 53' vans. The speed rating of the trailer tire...

    Still can't believe that I did this ! !

    Transfer Switch Failure

    I concur. Many buildings now do annual tighten and torque inspections on all electrical connections in disconnects, panels, switch gear etc. Preliminary exams are often done with infrared cameras to asses the "hot spots" (literally). Weak components and loose connections can be found before...

    Sway Controls

    I forgot to mention that many of today's trucks have built in sway control. Once again it wouldn't hurt to have the sway control and as many gave stated that if you really need it you'll know right away.

    Sway Controls

    Depends on you tow vehicle and hitch setup. Many weight distribution hitches have built on sway controls. Even standard setups eliminate sway as the balance the weight between TV and TT. I just have a round bar setup (no sway control added) on my 28BRS which is shorter and lighter and do fine...

    Landmark Interior General Feedback Requested

    I'd like to see Heartland offer "cheap heat" on every product they build. Many of us are always connected to shore power and it would save on propane costs and transportation. Not great for boon docking unless you have a generator. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Inductive cooking vs LP

    Brian is right about cast iron on the glass top. Although ideal for induction use the owners manual for Samsung stove at home says not to use them on it. Won't take much impact from a pot it pan that solid and heavy to damage it. Also on the "home" version, many of the burners are auto...

    We just got it at the stick and bricks house. Really efficient, fast and safer for the little ones too. Boils water on about a minute and a half. Saves time and electricity. Not sure if the portable ones are as good, but if they are, they are worth the cost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
