Hey guys, My trailer says the axles are 4400lb axles. When looking at e trailer for my camper they only recommended the 3.5k brake replacements. Not the 4.5. Is the 3.5k the factory kit? Or do I need to pay extra for the 4.4K kits. Should I consider replacing the drums or not yet? I only...

Hey everyone, looking if anyone has some insight to this area. We are headed the TN to spend a week with the inlaws. But for the kids, and not using a hotel we are taking the Camper. Want to stay somewhere in Southern Kentucky, or North TN not to far off I75. We're coming from Michigan. But...

So I need a good ext. Cleaning, and probably should wax my trailer. Maybe wash the roof as well. Which products are safe and you guys have had good luck with? Thanks

Just came across this from the Ford forum. A way to use your 4 wheel low to back up by disengaging your front hub vacum pump is what it looks like. If anyone is interested. https://youtu.be/fwcHGU_Z3CI

My NT has a 3/4" ish round gasket like bead on the sides to what appears drain any water that gets by the flaps out. It's coming off at the top on the one side. What should I get to re stick it to the slide? It's appears to have been glued on. So it's a rubbery make up to the fiberglass side of...

If you have replaced the tires on your truck, what have you put on? Pros and cons. Thanks

Something I noticed yesterday. We had an all day rain and was checking the camper to make sure I had no leaks. When I was looking at my flexible drain line under my kitchen sink I noticed it's not pitched to drain. On my BRS the kitchen slides out. So if you have one or similar keep this in...

I have read drilled and slotted rotors are better for towing. I also heard from some guys that towing can crack them. Anyone have any experience either way or scientific data either way? Thanks

Any one use one of these? I watched the video they had. I didn't agree with a Dodge intrepid towing a 20' trailer and calling it safe. Any way looks like a nice hitch. Curious if any one has / had one. https://hensleymfg.com/the-hensley-story/

So last weekend we were up in Caseville Mi for 3 nighter at the beach. Lake view site, pretty good weather. Second evening comes and bam. I get hit with the summer flu. Ruff night in the camper for sure. Plus my daughter got sick. Wife wasent feeling the best either. Then 3rd night my oldest...

Tow vehicle I can get all the kids in and tow a 5th wheel. Any one want to finance me over 20 years? At zero percent🙋 http://www.customautosbytim.com/2.html

I know a lot of you all probably have a compressor with you. But for those of us who don't. Make sure you check your spare tire on your TV before you head out. I've had my Ex for over a year now. Usually I check my spare tires when I do my air pressure. For some reason never checked it on this...

Question that came to mind while leaving the campground from the weekend. I was at a full hook up site. I drained my black water tank, and did not use my flush at the site. Is flushing your system at the site with the potable water safe for the next user. I know there has been some talk on here...

Okay. So trying to stay positive and tell my self small leaks are part of camping? I know most can be prevented. I guess since I have had it for just over a year i wasent looking as hard as I should have for bad caulk joints. But my wife came in and told me there was some water on the floor...

Tom was walking down the street when he sees a funeral procession. At the head was the casket, behind was a man walking a very large dog and behind him were 300 people. Tom walks over to the guy with the dog and asks, "Who’s funeral is this?" The man answers, “My mother-in-law’s.” Tom wishes...

Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the side of a deserted road. Suddenly a brand new Porsche screeches to a halt. The driver, a man dressed in an Armani suit, Cerutti shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses, TAG-Heuer wrist watch, and a Pierre Cardin tie gets out and asks the...

"Dad, I want to become a politician," said Jim. His father asked, "And what are you doing to become one?" "Nothing, dad." "Good, you're halfway there then."

Any one purchase one? Looks like it could make some fast tasty meals when camping, and around the house. Looks easy to clean up to. I have discussed crock pots on here, which I like as well. But requires a little more time planning. Sometimes we go where the wind takes us when out camping. So...

So looks like my excursion has a bad coil. Wow I know. Ford motor with a bad COP. Never happens right. So if anyone else has been down this road, have you tried any other coil brands other than motorcraft? I asked this on the Ford forum. Everyone says motorcraft. But yet they always seem to be...

Over my last year on this site I have picked up a lot. Especially weights, ratings, and towing. My dream after I retired or close to it was to buy a nice truck and 5er. Sell my home and live like a nomad. But all the discussion of things you have to watch, and pay attention to when towing what...

Anyone have experience with using either of these. Mostly in the RVing context. I would like to be able do some fishing with the kids while camping. The inflatables look fun, but the HD ones seem to way a lot. Especially if I want big enough for kids and gear. I also hear they can take a while...

Just need to vent... Why is it that my crappy Yukon xl 1500 can tow maybe a little bit more than mini van. When. Even a Ford Expedition has a 15000 GCWR versus my 13000. Not that it's a huge difference, but makes me go really? (To be fair I had no intents of owing a camper when I got it) They...

I am in the market for a 3ton hydraulic jack to work on the Excursion. Does anyone have one or experience with a brand? I like the Hein-Warner. But not sure if I am paying extra 100s for blue paint and a name. My other ones I have considered are a 3.5 Norco and a 3.5 black hawk. I know the...

http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/takata-airbag-recall-a-list-of-cars/ar-BBrTSTu?li=BBnbfcL Hey guys, my dad sent me this. Make sure your air bags on your cars and trucks are not part of the recall. If you all ready did. Great. Just wanted to pass it along. Or just check it at the...

So been looking for a camp ground in Canada to go fishing. Wawa area over to the East more in Ontario. Maybe back waters of Lake Huron in there. Any one have any experience camping around there? I found some on line and just went to a fishing show where I got to talk to a few places. Curious if...

Question for some of you big time travelers. While headed to Florida on I75 in the excursion with out my TT. I couldnt help but notice the signs for the weigh stations. When I got close it flashes by pass scale. The first time i thought it was for the truck behind me. Second time there was no...

Okay. Need a no BS assessment. My excursion has got a squeak in the rear end. At low speed it squeaks a little bit. Only at ideal speed. I think it's just a universal joint. I got under there and looked. No signs of excessive play. I have no vibration until 80mph. So I seldomly feal anything...

So with the kids and the camper, my thoughts have turned to possibly ditching the 02 excursion, and my 09 Yukon XL for a Nissan NPV. I looked at the ratings and did the calculations. Looks like it will tow what my Excursion does. I have some friends who purchased one. I parked my excursion next...

So I am here in South East Michigan and seems somewhere I lost my wedding ring. I have a theory it may be in the pile of leafes I scattered in the vacant lot next to me. So wondering if any one in my area has one I can borrow, rent, check for me.. anything? Or if they can recommend a good price...

Got this guy this morning. Southern Michigan by Addison. 35yrds with my crossbow.

I have no ties to the RV dealer here in Chelsea Mi. But I see some marked down prices on some of there 5th wheels and other campers if anyone near by was in the market. If you where looking at having it shipped I can put my eyes on something for you quickly since I drive by almost every night...
