    Just installed my Centramatic balancers on my fifth wheel

    On the tow rig you notice it through the smoother steering. On the trailer you just know the tires are wearing more evenly and probably running a bit cooler too.

    Just installed my Centramatic balancers on my fifth wheel

    You will be glad to have them. But once for the life of the vehicle..!

    Just installed my Centramatic balancers on my fifth wheel

    I added some Centramatic balancers to my Cyclone 4007. I’m a firm believer in these due to the fact I’ve had them on my 3500 dually for the past 6 years and have experienced a great difference vs traditional wheel balancing that changes as the tire wears. I’m glad to have them onboard

    Balancing our trailer tires

    Why doesn’t places like Discount tire or other similar places balance our rv trailer tires ..? I bought 6 new (very expensive) tires for my rv and was told “we don’t balance trailer tires”.

    EZ Connect electrical truck/RV connection

    Gary521- Good to hear from someone that has used one. The idea and YouTube video looked good and I’ve had to use a nail file to clean the contacts a couple times already and spray some contact cleaner. That electrical connection is an important one because it controls a lot of important...

    Has anyone heard about this magnetic type of connector..? I saw it on YouTube and decided it was worth trying so I ordered the complete set up from e-trailer. Just thought I would throw this out there..? Ezconnect.com

    2021 Cyclone wall cracks

    The carpet is the bottom corner of the interior part of the slide. I ran the slide in so I could access more of the interior wall as well.

    2021 Cyclone wall cracks

    LOL, no I just went directly inward where the outside crack was. It was at the bottom right of the slide.

    The charging system will work the same with AGM batteries as it does with lead acid.

    2021 Cyclone wall cracks

    So far so good. This seemed to correct the issue for us.

    2021 Cyclone wall cracks

    So I hired a local mobile welder and this is how I fixed it from the inside wall. I wasn’t about to cut open the outside fiberglass wall. Notice the additional gussets I had him install for added strength.

    Bed slide Schwin Tech track problem, broken weld ?

    Yeah I’ve read about the better version from another company that makes a much better system. I am quite sure your looking at big bucks to change over to it though…

    Bed slide Schwin Tech track problem, broken weld ?

    I had that exact same issue with our bedroom slide (double telescoping slide) and hired a local welder to correct. See pics. So far so good.

    Water running out when city water is connected

    I had the exact same issue. I had previously replaced the plastic valve with the brass version too. I just released the water pressure then moved the Anderson k ow back and forth then reset it on city water and it worked properly. Design flaw I suspect..!

    Crack on outside of bedroom slide out

    I don’t doubt that at all. Just anyone working in any other field where welding is reqywould be either reprimanded or fired for such crappy work.

    Crack on outside of bedroom slide out

    Yikes, glad to hear it’s fixed for you ..! It looks like this is an issue with just about every brand rv with a slide out ..! It seems to me that someone (?) would have figured this out by now and made changes in the integrity of the welds at these areas by now ..! This is not difficult to...

    Crack on outside of bedroom slide out

    I just noticed a crack on the outside corner (lower right) where the bedroom double slide - slide out is. Ours is a 2019 so it’s way out of the factory warranty but … we purchased the extra warranty from the dealership when we purchased it. I guess I need to see about initiating a claim to see...

    Finally retired and went full time..!

    We ended up selling it because we are traveling and that thing (although it is a great idea and works well) is a pain to set up and take down. If your staying put … get one ..!

    Toilet water bubbles/splashes up when toilet bowl is full when you flush

    This is a bit odd because we are full time and have been using this unit full-time for the past 2.5 years and this has never happened. I emptied the black tank and flushed it well (X3). When my wife was in the process of treating the black tank she normally used a gallon jug and mixes the “Happy...

    Surge Protector

    I am using the Hughes Autoformer and am pleased with it. I like the idea of having the 10% boost if needed so nothing gets damaged from that issue as well.
