There is just enough room for a sound bar. I had to raise the TV a little. This sound bar is a VIZIO S3821 with Bluetooth Subwoofer.

Here is a web site I found pretty interesting: Enter the DOT code and it will give you a tire facts report. http://www.tiresafetygroup.com/

Good point, however the Goodyear G614 is only rated 230lbs more than the TowMax, G614 3,750lbs @ 110psi vs. TowMax 3520lbs @ 80psi. The G614 is a whole lot more tire to have a rating only 230lbs more than the TowMax. I don't know how the TowMax got it's rating of 3,520lbs, maybe standing still...

Hate to burst your bubble SeattleLion, but you are doing it too. How do you know there are millions of Tow Max tires on the road? The problem with facts and statistics, they can be presented in a manner to achieve any result that's desired. The scope of an analysis on the Tow Max tire failures...

Sajo, Yes, this is what I bought. Goodyear Unisteel® G614 RST Tire Size Load Range Side Wall Thread Depth (32s) Apprvd. Rim Widths Meas. Rim Width Overall Width Outside Diameter Max Load at Infla. (PSI) Single *LT235/85R16 G BW 12 6.50 6.50 9.5 30.7 3750@110 *This tire requires a...

Josh, become familiar with the symbols on the display. The first alarm we had while rolling down the road was "low battery" from a sensor. My reaction to the alarm was to get our rig stopped as quickly as possiable, I was very glad it was just the sensor battery. Good idea to stock up on CR1632...

Here is a fact: "I am glad I got the China junk off our 15,500lb BC." Goodyear G614 3,750lbs @ 110psi

Here's food for thought: the person towing the trailer to the dealer has no vested interest in tire life, other than to get it to the dealership in one piece. Bouncing over curbs, towing too fast, not checking tire pressure. I'm pretty sure this is what happened in my case. All 4 Powerking...

When AC power is limited (30amp or less) I operate the HW heater and refrigerator on propane (12v). I also define running on generator power as "limited", generating your own power is very expensive compared to buying it. I only run the generator to charge the house batteries while dry camping...

Situation: We operate our HW heater on propane and electric when we need quick recovery (wife and I shower back to back). After our showers, I shut the propane switch off. Sometimes I forget to shut the propane off, and sure enough, about 2:00am I hear the propane burner kick on, using...

This is what's possible when you remove the outdoor bistro on a BC 3690. This is a 46db Bosch.

I'm not sure what the Bistro components weigh, the dishwasher is 83lbs + HW heater 23lbs + 4gal water 32lbs = 138lbs. The production weight of our trailer is 12,400, this includes dual pane windows, 6pt level up, and 4 door fridge. The GVWR is listed at 15,500. These mods are definitely using up...

The access door was relocated to the off door side by the shore power hookup. I don't think the volume is the same as the rear access door version. I keep power cord and sewer hoses there, not room for much more. Everything's a trade off, and the 3690 had the fewest number of compromises.

No, the dishwasher will face inward. I'm just using the void left by the outdoor bistro. The sales person made the same mistake when I was describing the mod . When you look at the first pic, you would be looking at the rear of the dishwasher.

We ordered our 3690 without the bistro. Here are some pics of the 4gal hot water installed. I am using a 3 way valve to draw hot water off the main hot water heater when we are dry camping, when we are on shore power this gem will deliver hot water to the rear kitchen immediately. It will also...

Yup, the Splendide stack fits fine.

Roy, Forget the talcum powder, use this: SIL-GLYDE. It is excellent for this application. Non-petroleum product. I use it on many things, including O-rings on sewer valves, my truck door seals. I swear by this stuff. It looks like this:

Charlie, I was lucky, the seal only pulled free from the slot. It happened while opening the slide after 45 days of storage. The seal seemed to stick to the slide flange. I was able to pop it back on. I treated all of my slides with this: SIL-GLYDE. It is excellent for this application...

We lost that pantry with the 4 door fridge. We use the cabinet in the recliner slide as our pantry. Rev-a-Shelf makes a 9" model 5WB2-0918-CR.

Yes, this is to the right of the sink. The pull out racks takes up every bit of the 11½" x 21¼" space in this cabinet.

Nope, this is for spices, vinegars, cooking wine, cooking oils, bread crumbs, and a bunch of misc stuff the wife needs for gourmet cooking.

Wife is pleased

6pt level up :), only way to fly!

Lee, What brake controller are you using? also, when you disconnect how does the controller know it's intentional? perhaps an override switch? or does the alarm auto reset?

Planning on adding an exhaust brake. That was the original plan when I bought the 6sp manual. Down shifting does little to nothing with a diesel to help stop.

This little piece of information might save a life. Situation: Towing on the Interstate, a strong head wind caused bed mat to flop around. The bed mat knocked the 7 - way plug loose, not all the way out. I did not know this until we exited the interstate, and attempted to get 20K + lbs to stop...

Our dealer did a fantastic job on our PDI. While flooding the holding tanks, a leak was detected at the input pipe to the black tank. Dealer sealed it. While the panels were removed it gave me a great opportunity to check what's behind the bulk head.

Idea officially scrapped!

You're right, they are at an angle, and need to slide, didn't even think about that. Thanks for saving me the expense. I owe you a cold beer :).

Apply Rhino spray bed liner to the bottom of landing pad. This will increase friction when leveling on asphalt or smooth concrete, especially in the rain. Just wondering if the coating would hold up.

No problem, I'm really glad I happened upon your post. It made my install much easier. Thanks, Alan

Amazon, about $50, TEKTON 2445 1/2-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench, 25-250 Ft./Lb.

120 ft lbs, piece of cake.

Just finished install of our HWC-50C, after reading your post, I see a mod in my future. Installing an override switch that will apply voltage to energize the coil.

Dave, I think you hit the nail on the head, with the biggest hit being "consumer benefit". If you want to run multiple AC's, and other power hungry devices, 30 amp - 3,600 watts ain't gonna cut it. As Tim Taylor (Allen) from Tool Time would say, MORE POWER, Need 50 amp - 12,000 watts, (grunt...

It looks like the 50 amp end is molded. Does it come apart? I am making a 30 amp cord to use when I don't need 50 amps. I'm not a fan of pigtail adapters, extension cables, and such.

I saw that one, not sure about the center post. I thought it was a generator connector.

Lowest price I've found is over $80 and that's without the water proof jacket. Come on folks a hundred bucks for a plug. I bet they figure if you can afford the coach this connector plugs into, you can afford the connector. OK, rant over, thanks for listening.

Thanks Valerie, any thoughts about swapping the AC/Furnace thermostat? Ours does not hold temp very well.
