    Where's my fresh water drain

    I’m taking my North Trail camping at Yellowstone this weekend. I looked at my drain and the opening in the colorplast thinking about tucking it up in there. What’s the idea of keeping the drain from freezing? Just to prevent damage there? Or is it to be able to drain the potable water completely...

    AGM batteries

    I bought AGM to replace flooded lead acid with exact same fitment code to fit in my battery boxes. When I returned the AGM yesterday, I asked CostCo Auto to show me the ah rating of the flooded lead acid. The AGM were placarded 70ah. Their catalogue has dashes in place of ah value for flooded...

    AGM batteries

    Oregon Camper, you are correct, the old batteries are flooded lead acid and new are AGM. But, loss of ah worse than I posted above! New AGM battery placarded 70ah and I called Interstate with the Fitment Code and Group and CCA of old battery and it is 81ah! Old battery had more than 15% more amp...

    AGM batteries

    I confirmed my suspicion with a visit to the local Interstate Battery distributor. AGM battery approximately 4 amp-hours less output than equivalent lead-acid RV battery. That’s 8 amp-hours less in my two battery North Trail. The benefits are no maintenance plus better tolerance to vibration and...

    AGM batteries

    Upgraded my North Trail to AGM batteries from CostCo for $400! I was replacing them in the campground, but CostCo assured me they were fully charged and ready to plug and play. They both went dead and the heater stopped working the first night! When I got home and put my charger on 2amps it went...

    Battery and dry camping

    I paid dealer for second battery and easily get through 3-day weekends on battery only. Buy a generator. I’ve got Honda 3Kw pull start. My buddy had inverter (and solar panels) installed that power his drip coffee maker. I prefer percolator over noisy generator. Tv and A/C and M/W need AC power...

    1/2 Ton towing

    carl, do you weigh your truck and trailer separately and combined before every single trip? Asking for a friend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1/2 Ton towing

    You said exactly what I was thinking! Plus, I didn’t say anything about ‘overloading.’ I just said I got air bags to help with weight in the bed while towing. Suddenly I was a criminal. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1/2 Ton towing

    I tow 25 FBS (GTW 6,900#) with Ram 1500 EcoDiesel no problems. I did just add AirLyft air bags but that’s to load my bed while towing. I would say set up is crucial. Go back and reassess everything setup: trailer leveling, load leveling/sway bar setup, tire pressures, center of gravity of truck...

    How to move the slide, awning and tongue jack with dead battery

    Yes! Exactly. And when you reinstall the wood trim use deck screws so you can get in there easier in the future. Not very user friendly, is it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My problem was with the slide before and after I swapped switches. I don’t know how else to write that. But I appreciate you’re just trying to help. I’ve addressed my issue with Heartland to no avail, and I don’t want to hijack this post. I’ll let him reply. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have had that intermittent and so far unexplained problem with my North Trail electric slide since new! Fails in and out, occasionally. Only plausible explanation I can think of is loose wire... somewhere.... Good luck with yours! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have had intermittent electric slide problems since 2015 22FBS was new. Still don’t know why no power occasionally. More like few hours than few minutes and power restored. Not auto c/b cuz I’ve tested output when slide isn’t working. Good luck trouble shooting. There is some trouble shooting...

    Similar to Equalizer. See if manufacturer makes nylon pad between bar and L-bracket. That’s probably the ‘violin’ you’re hearing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
