    EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: OR, Canyonville - 9/13/2017 to 9/20/2017

    It took me a bit to find this as I couldn't see it in the Oregon section, so much for me looking around the forums, lol... Kelly told me about this on FB and we may try go to this (it would be our first) rally. However, in a few days we start out on a 7300 mile round trip Summer RV trip from...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    We thought about getting that signal meter, but then realized it wouldn't be any faster than using a signal source app on my phone (I use "TV Antenna helper FREE") and point it in the direction the phone tells me to then fine tune with the TV as the meter would have to be mounted out by the TV...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    JohnDar -- No we didn't put a pan in, there is no real way to do a floor drain, and in my research 90% of the RV units don't have pans. I wasn't able to find a pan to fit it, and anything I calculated wouldn't hold more than .5 gal so it would still overload the shallow pan. I did put water...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    We had a leak in the rear corner and had to pull out some cabinetry and it messed up the counter in the outdoor kitchen, so in "replacing" the messed up cabinetry/counter space we used that area for the back of the washer/dryer combo. The washer dryer is hooked up running and already took an...

    E30 camp kitchen remodel

    I haven't been on the forums very much lately, but this coming week (+2 weekends) to remodel our camp kitchen. No don't get me wrong, we like the space, but after lifting the trailer (larger tires and 2" correct track) my wife cannot even reach the sink without a stool. Therefore it has gotten...

    2015 Elkridge /E30

    I guess I haven't figured out how to get to those options from the head unit. I always need to figure out where I put the remote to turn on or off the outside speakers, lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    2015 Elkridge /E30

    Sorry I'm late with the response, but John D is correct, you must use the remote control and adjust the fade/balance to turn the outside speakers off, at least that is how our 2015 E30 is. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    Highway 199

    RKDAVE -- Did you make this drive, and what route did you take, we are heading the opposite direction (heading south) with a stop off at the Oregon Caves this June (next month) so we'll be running down 199 south of Grants pass. Any updates or tricky spots would be great.

    37 Ultimate Bunk House Ladders?

    Not a 37 Ultimate, but my e30's bunkhouse is slightly similar. I too didn't like any of the other ladder options and also our 5 year old kept rolling out of bed, so we just built our own and also added a rail to the bunk. The stain was what we had on hand, but I think it looks pretty good even...

    towing with a lift kit

    I hate to jump onto my soapbox, but feel there is a lot of fear, misinformation, or lack of knowledge, that may be influencing some of the responses. a) U-joint and drive line angle are usually (if you buy the right kits) adjusted and sometimes create better angles then those from the factory...

    towing with a lift kit

    I tow with a lifted truck, 6" on an 07 Ram, I actually stepped down to 35" tires from 37". The truck towed fine with that combo, however getting the trailer to ride level is almost impossible as others mentioned. I'm still not quite used to the look since I've had 37" tires on it for about 6...

    My 15 - 16 inch wheel/tire upgrade

    Baker, the correct track 2 was installed by my dealer and was wrapped into the purchase agreement, I did talk to the tech that installed them since only 1 cam was not in the neutral position and I thought that was odd. He showed me the instructions where it tells you to measure between the bolts...

    Elkridge Hitch Weight

    I have a ram 2500 and a E30 extreme light, the largest of the lightweight models. I have airbags and truth be told I probably don't NEED them but like the feel using them. As for pin weights going by the literature is dry weight. Even with mine setup for camping and full tanks I can lift the...

    Any Recommendations around Cleveland, OH?

    Thanks for the feedback, just from the reviews and location it looks like I'm leaning towards the KOA. I've been to Cleveland a dozen times this year for work, but this time I'm stopping in for work while going cross country in the 5er.

    Any Recommendations around Cleveland, OH?

    I found a few older posts about a good Camp Ground/RV Park near Cleveland but none had follow-ups with the choices and how they turned out. In our cross country adventures this coming October I will be spending 4 nights somewhere near Cleveland so that I can visit the Cleveland office and attend...

    Dometic Thermostat

    yeah I may be looking into this mod shortly. Last night before going to bed I forgot to switch the thermostat from cool to furnace, and by about 5am it had dropped to 55 degrees and I was awaken by the cold as well as our 1 year old crying because she was cold too. I looked at my DW and she was...

    Elkridge VS Elkridge Extreme Lite

    Not to start a war between light vs. heavy, full profile vs. mid profile, and all the other differences, let me lay my reasoning on the table and let you decide since I weighed all the options before choosing what some here seem to consider and inferior product. 1st difference, the light weight...

    baker - I wouldn't put my truck in the standard 2500 class as it has been modified beyond stock, but the chassis is still mostly stock. I have made multiple cross country trips with my older bumper pull style trailer that was in the 12K weight range that with the right hitch combination towed...

    I had it installed prior to taking delivery of mine, my dealer did the install based on my request from taking measurements prior to buying it. so I have no real before/after comparing. I also have a mid profile Elkridge, so I was good on height clearances, still need to get a true height...

    2013 Dodge mega cab / 2014 cyclone 3110 toy hauler too high in front ??????

    Ok my ram is an 07, but it is lifted and has that same bed height as the newer rams. For me I installed the correct track 2 and got 2" lift from those. Yes, I had the factory installed correct track, but put these on for the lift. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    My 15 - 16 inch wheel/tire upgrade

    There have been a few questions from other owners with 15" wheels as to what upgrade is possible. I will post about my upgrade and provide as much detail that I found along the way. This is just my viewpoint, and not general rule of thumb. So I was unhappy with the fact that my new Extreme Light...

    Holding tank smell-blockage and a solution

    I like the ice trick before a long trip, I get 2 bags of ice (roughly equal to 2gallons of water) and put the ice in just before leaving for the trip. As your driving around the ice (hard solid) scrapes the inside of the tank and breaks down and poo piles or stuck on paper, and as it melts the...

    Why wouldn't you balance trailer tires???

    my point exactly, why wouldn't they balance them? As for the other comments, Les Schwab was the first one I went to and was pricing tires for the trailer when I was in getting my alignment done on my TV. the odd part is this Les Schwab is almost around the corner from my house and they know me...
