Hello All, Does anyone have a Kinro Window Emergency latch broken. The one that is about 5" long, not the 9" one. If so, please file a complaint with http://www.safercar.gov/ I have been trying for over 10 months to get one. If anyone has a part number for the short latch with the metal...

Hello all, Wanting to buy a Honda EU2000iS. Presently in the RGV till April 1. Then in SW Mo. please contact by e mail, not by posting on the forum jimlyndabrooks at yahoo dot com Thanks Jim

If you want something bullet proof, the new '13/'14 Ram with the Asian. My '12 Ram 3500 DRW is probably the quietest, best fit and finish truck I have ever had. If you do not need to tow 30K, the 350/800 engine is plenty with the 68RFE tranny is a good performer. I am very pleased with that...

Pulling a 5th wheel with a F150. Yea, I know I am close to the limits. Got me a diesel, will pull anything, bought the SRW. Just go slow, you SHOULD be OK. Put air bags on to level it up. (ie:yes I am overloaded, but it's level now) What happened to making sure you had the correct tow...

You will find that those of us that have been doing this for a while are all driving DRW trucks. The newer guys, guys that need a daily driver, still working, will tell you a SRW truck will PULL anything. And, Yes they are correct they will pull anything. But with a trailer that has a 14K...

OK, Discount tire has a 235/85/16G tire for $159.00 You can not buy a good LT E tire for that. What do you weigh on the axles? Do you need a G rated tire? Will a good E rated tire work? This is just another cheep China tire. Please tell us you are going to pass on this.

I have the TST 507RV system. I did not need a repeater for the 5th wheel, but when I double tow the 2nd trailer would drop out. I called TST told them my problem, they sent me a repeater and said try it and call them. I did, it worked and a month later I called them and paid for it. The...

Hi, You will see a lot of folks doing what you are considering. Pulling a 5th wheel with a truck that is not rated for that weight. If the GVWR of the trailer is 15K figure 20% for pin weight that is 3,000lbs for pin weight. Take your truck to a scale. a truck stop, grain elevator, etc, and...

Dave, I am looking at buying a older NuWa product. They used Lippert Frames on some of their smaller units and found they were not satisfactory for their heavier units. I just got off the phone from a owner of a NuWa DA 329 on a Lippert Frame. He has traded this unit in on a new HH and in...

TravelTiger, you are missing the point. I fulltimmed for 10 years, did a lot of miles. Never did I have a issue with my Newmar 5th Frame. Yes, the hot water heater needed a elec element, $10. A few broken drawer mount brackets, new screws maybe a buck, all things I could fix. But to have the...

This why I am considering a Excel.

Matt, Is your 2012 F350 a SRW or DRW?

Whoops, maybe someone with a 3010 can pull a tape on the inside length. You for sure need 9' with bumpers on a 800 S Jim

I have a 800 S LE and am considering a 3010. I have bumpers also. That said, I have a 6 x 10 trailer and it fits on it with plenty of room to spare so with a 10' cargo area I would think you would have plenty of room. My RZR is 60" wide and about 9' long. Jim

Hello Willie: I'll try to help. 1. Solar can be used to charge any type of re-chargable battery, so no, you do not need to change batteries. However in a house battery use, true deep cycle types are better and the golf cart batteries fit that. 2. As to size just to keep the battery up...

I'll go to Progresso before I go to parts of Houston. Come on over, we'll have lunch and drinks @ Arturo's or the Red Snapper. The weather has cooled off a bit. Was 86 Christmas and today only mid 50's, 70's the rest of the week. Jim

Hi, Something that has not been mentioned is weight. Since you are going to full time in what you are buying, you will be taking more than just stuff for a week long camping trip. Most brochures list the vehicles unladen weight. Usually this means before options. You want the heaviest...

Possibly some bad advise here??? 2 sets of 6vdc and 1-12vdc. IF all 5 batteries are connected to create one battery bank? you never want to mix battery types, capacities or age. 2 sets of 6vdc (golf cart) would be 4 batteries of the same type and would be fine. Add in a 12vdc is just not...

Dave, Thank You, Jim

Hello Group, I am in the process of gathering information on Toy Haulers. The idea of frame issues is just not something I want to even consider. Is there a model, year, length, series that the frame issues are showing up? Is this a Lippert problem who built the frames to their specs...

Progresso is just fine. We went over Dec 7 for the Welcome Back Winter Texan Party. The crowds are down this year. The parks are no where near full. Jim
