Looks like we will be neighbors. Frog Creek and Fiesta Grove are adjoining camprounds, so maybe we will see ya there.

Capt, Where are you staying in Palmetto? We leave on Tuesday to Fiesta Grove in Palmetto and will be there until Apr 1. As stated, I-75 is the route and Atlanta is the biggest headache of the entire route. We generally stay on I-75 through Atlanta as we haven't experienced any less traffic...

The two Fenton campgrounds (Covered Bridge CG and Bellevue Mobile Home) were flooded last year. Does anyone know the current condition of these campgrounds. Have they recovered satifactorily as far as safety and sanitation? RVparkreviews does not have any recent post so any response is...

When I was getting the odor through the studor valves was when I would have the gray tank valves open (which when set up with sewer I always have the valves open). The smell evidently was the sewer gases coming back through the gray tanks. Water in the traps prevents the smell from coming...

My rig would release foul odors through the air admittance valves whenever the air condition or the fantastic roof vents were operating. Replacing both the kitchen and bath valves did not help. I finally replaced the valves with plugs and have not had any foul odors since and that has been 4...

I had them on my past two F250's and was completely satisfied with them. Both vehicles had 3/4 to 1 inch space when not loaded so they had no impact when truck was not loaded/hooked up. I did not put anything on my current Ram 3500 SRW as no spring help is needed.

Hey Capt. If you are talking about Frog Creek in Palmetto its a decent and friendly campground for the price/area. We stay at Fiesta Grove Campground next door to Frog Creek and really like it also.

To check the voltage, the brakes have to be connected to something. When I check my voltage at the jbox at the pin, brake controller set on heavy electric and 10, using manual slide I only get 8 volts. As it is a proportional controller, so far no one has been able to answer if this is normal...

Bobca1 I believe its an inherent weakness with the Dodge integrated brake controllers. My brakes on my 2013 are the same as yours, very weak. The trailer brakes are good and check out both mechanically and electrically, and I have taken the truck to the Dealership twice about the brake...

You cant go wrong with the Maxxis 8008's for your sundance. I ran them on my old Big Horn for years.

Last month we was parked in a site with a slight front down slope so our front jacks was extended a little more than usual along with the forward two rear ones. The popping noise was terrible....worse than I have ever heard them; especially the front ones. Sounded like someone slamming the...

Well said Possum51........

I have found that when running the a/c, it sometimes creates enough vacuum to cause the valve to open emitting odors. I replaced the valve and it did not help. I finally took it off and put a plug in. Whalla.....no more odors and everything drains as normal. I'm not sure why its there to...

Thanks Cjackg, I'll look into that CG. I agree that getting in some place may be tough. Fortunately we've still got our reservations at the same place we've spent the last 6 or 7 winters. We just thought we would try somewhere different for part of the time.

I'm looking for potential campgrounds around Clearwater, Fl. for a month or so next winter. I have reviewed RVparksreview and have a few areas on a short list. I would also like to hear from any forum members that may have some personal input. Please post or PM me if you like.

Thanks Jim...sent you a PM

Jim, thanks for the thoughts. A little background...this is basically a new trailer (1-1/2) yrs old. The braking ability has never been good...it will push the truck in hard braking conditions. All my previous trailers have had much better braking abilities. I have my EVIC set for heavy...

Has anyone with a 2012/2013 Dodge tested the brake voltage coming from the truck with trailer hooked up, full brake applied and setting on 10 and not moving. As stated in OP, my voltage at the jbox under this condition is very low. I've sent Dodge a question about the contoller...

Jeff, Anchor Down is a new campground on Lake Douglas between Pigeon Forge and Dandridge. It is overlooking the lake and the scenery is fantastic. Big Rigs galore.....no problems. I will say though, it is located a distance from the attractions that people come to the area to see. We visit...

Bill and Jim, to clear up my initial post, my voltage at the truck plug with trailer disconnected is the 12.4 volts (truck running, contoller set at 10). The voltage at the battery in the trailer at rest, truck disconnected is 12.6. Resistance at the magnets (disconnected) is 3.5 and resistance...

Dave, My initial problem is unacceptably weak braking ability. My initial thought was grease but thought I would check everything electrically before pulling the wheels. That when I discovered the extremely low voltage. As far as my wire gauge, it is #12 all the way to the left brakes...

Thanks Cookie, I've been thinking that a connection/wire gauge in the belly going to the breaks is suspect but what confuses me most is the difference in the drop with truck voltage versus the drop with voltage from the breakaway (battery) voltage, I'm leaning towards a weak ground...

Let me start by saying "electric brakes can drive you mad"! With that out of the way, my primary problem is low voltage at the brakes when hooked to truck. Now here is my confusion. Voltage at truck plug without trailer hooked is 12.4v. Hooked to trailer, the voltage at the junction box in the...

Pete, My 08 Ford also had the white smoke issue from the beginning. I would also at times get a fluttering at the same time but both the smoke and the fluttering would stop after a few seconds. The Ford garages never could find anything wrong so I just learned to live with it.

Pete, Just funning about trading (although I did trade)....the '13 Dodges have the regen also. The rest of the post is true......many people are having the filter removed, re-exhausted and rechipped and all I've talked to have been very happy. I will say that when I was negotiating a new...

I know several 6.4 generation Ford owners that have have the DPF filter removed, new exhaust system and rechipped to fool the computer. They all report more power, and varing degrees of increased fuel mileage (some believable, some not). In general, I have not heard of anyone being sorry they...

John, they keep a certain number of sites available for short term (14 or less days) stay throughout the winter. With the exception of during Mardi Gras, there is generally always sites available for short term.

I ran into all those hitch issues back in June when I was looking at the 2013 Dodge. At that time there just was not any good solutions for either the factory option or after market hitches except for B & W gooseneck so I put my purchase decision on hold. Now there are aftermarket bed rails by...

X2 on Fontainbleu State Park and a very interesting drive to New Orleans across the Ponchatrain causeway (if you like long bridges!)

I have the Q220 and love the way it cooks thoroughly and rarely if ever will it flare up. However, I have had to replace the regulator twice in the 3 1/2 years that I have owned it. Fortunately Weber replaced both of them at no expense as the first one went out within the first year of...

The new 2013 Ram 3500 SRW ratings have been increased both for payload and GVWR that you should be within the stated ratings. I also have been considering one, but currently there are issues with hitch rail availability for the 2013. There is only one aftermarket company ( B&W) that has...

Are these valves actually needed? They do seem to emit foul odors periodically, especially when the AC or fan in running.

Bruce, the owners manual is incorrect. The tank is only a 26 gallon tank. I have an 08 and went through that frustration also when I first bought the truck. Always been my biggest complaint with Ford.....putting such a small tank in a truck made to haul!

Randy, it"s a real possibility that the rear of the king pin could hit the ram box in a tight turn. Some people have experienced it hitting the rails of their bed covers when rails effectively narrow the box by 2-3 inches on each side.

I just received a response from Reese Hitch Customer service that they are told they should have the bed rails available for the 2500 and 3500 by the end of August.

I've been doing some research on this issue because I was thinking of a new Dodge. So far what I have found out is that B & W is the only manufacturer that currently has custom hitch mounts for the new Dodge frame. But, if you have the factory 5th/gooseneck option it cannot be used either and...

Just installed my new TST 507 and have a few questions. My old Doran TPMS system would give me an alarm saying lost sensors if I unhooked from rig and drove away. Today when I drove away with the TST it just kept on functioning like everything was normal. After about 45 minutes or so, it...

Don't forget the other two kwh hogs.......the water heater and the refrig. Try isolating them by running on propane for a day and check kwh usage.

Biker Bob, FYI, Louisiana state parks will not honor it for out of state residents unless you are from a state that also honors it (reciprocity in their terms). I know this for sure because I am currently at Fountain Bleu state park in Mandeville, La. and we had a "conversation" about this upon...

I bought the Jack replacement head and am very dissappointed. Before I replaced the old batwing I did a tune to document channels tuned in while sitting in my driveway in a rural area. I replaced the batwing with the Jack and did another tune. Results were very dissappointing as I only got...
