How much current capacity is needed for all the 12V devices exclusive of inverting to 120V and battery charging?
The supplied converter is an 80A model. That puts a top end on the requirement. It should be much lower.
I am asking because I am looking at designing a solar system and considering...
Does anyone make a dash cam with a rear view trailer dash cam?
Ideally it should:
Be a dash cam forward and rearward for use with picup truck without trailer.
And

What is the distance from the center of the king pin to the front point of the cap on recent Big Horns?
We have a long bed crew cab Ram, 2015, and want to see if we can carry our canoe on the roof. How far back and forward it would sit.
Is anyone stacking their inverter/chargers.
Stacking is having two (2) compatible inverter/chargers linked together to cooperate in providing up to twice the power or charging capability.
An example would be linking together 2 Xantrex Freedom SW 3012 to get up to 6kw of inverted ac and up tp...
Anyone have any comparisons of the Xantrex systems vs the Magnum with Progressive systems.
Total system with inverter charger, power managemeny, auto Gen start, and remote monitors/controlers.
Being such a nice guy, I will understand your point and ignore your snark. As long as it's an option I'm fine.
As a point of information, those with allergies are often made sick by ventless dryers.
We just came back from the Hershey show. We focused only on Heartland Big Horn as that is our solidly planned purchase (as soon as the house is sold). We liked almost all the 2016 changes we saw. One thing stuck out that we did not like. Big Horn and Big Country now come with MCD Night Shades...
Does anyone have any experience in downsizing the generator (say from 5.5 KW in a Bighorn) to a smaller generator (say a 3.6 KW, or 2.8 KW in a bighorn) and backing it up with a boosting inverter charger (like the Magnum SMH3012). and a large battery bank?
Bighorn 5th wheel (as an example, One...
Has anyone played with the idea of a 12V DC generator system (in place of getting a 120V generator).
Here is one generator I could find and some specs:

Charging Voltage 12v Model: 14.0
Maximum Output 12v Model: 120 Amps

We will soon be ordering a Big Horn 5th. We currently live in NY and have family up and down the east coast. Of course we want the best price, experience, and service.
We have visited RV Outlet USA in Danville (Ringgold), VA and Crossroads Trailer Sales in Newfield, NY as well as many other...
Has anyone seen the new option and setup for the outdoor TV in the Big Horn which also gives you a fake hutch attached dining table?
How does it look and work? or any other comments?

Someone just mentioned 12V Lithium Ion batteries for RV and boat and I started looking up some information. There are a few supplies and Progressive now makes Lithium Ion Converter/Chargers.
So, I was wondering what the state of the art is now with Lithium ion systems including solar. They...
A great many people have talked about the TST TPMS systems. Everyone seems to be using the external options.
Does anyone have any experience with the internal sensor system? Any comments or preferences?

We have picked out two different, almost identical Big Horn 5th wheels. One is the 3685RL at 39'. One is the 3760EL at 41'. There is no question that we would prefer the 3760EL with it's slightly better space.
So, how much of a difference will that 2 feet make in towing, maneuvering...

We need a new comprehensive factory option, "Advanced Suspension Option"
It should include:
2 - 8000 lb axles
Sealed Bearings
Mor/Ryde IS Independent Suspension
Disc Brakes - Electric Hydraulic
What do you think.
As a factory option it should not be anywhere...
There will be no more desks in the Big Country models. The desks and their storage have been removed. They have been replaced by a blank panel with no storage and the radio/stereo mounted with a pair of speakers.
No desk option according to Heartland.
No desk. Lost storage.
It makes no sense...
So where do you ski while RVing and where do you stay?
Does the ski resort have RV parking? Hookups?
Thanks, we are starting to plan what we want to do when full timing.
Now that we have the 5th wheel towing package on many trucks, like my Ram, we also have two different, easy to use alternatives for towing our trailers.
My application is a 5th wheel travel trailer which uses a 5th wheel pin, not a gooseneck. So, it looks like a no brainer and I get one of the...

Any one use them in their trailer? Found space for 1 or 2?
Where do you spend Thanksgiving? Do you head south? When?
I expect that once we start full timing we will stay north until after Thanksgiving and be with family. However, it is already getting cold.

This is a new feature article in the latest issue of Trailer Life.
Their conclusion is that you can tow a 5th with a 1/2 ton pickup. The details of that conclusion are more interesting.

Where on your unit do you wish you had another connection, and why?
My pellet smoker uses a 12V power supply, so I would like another 12V outlet out the back right side of unit and one on the front right. 120V would be useful, too.
One of the common questions on any RV board is the "can I tow it" question. Here is a brief summary of information on 5th wheel pin weights and pickup truck payloads.
