Mine were always giving strange readings. One day when I took the belly off, i noticed how all of the wiring under there was just laying around. Being anal, I tied everything up properly just because that's how I like things. When I went to use the trailer after that, the gauges seemed to work...

Hi Bill, I found it by Googling Lippert landing gear. The manual spoke of how the nut which is fixed to the exterior square tube is cone shaped. When you pour engine oil down the square tube, oil pools in the cone. As the screw goes up and down, it automatically gets lubricated. By the way mine...

Same here, mine wors great.

I tried just changing the regular bulb to an LED. It doesn't appear different. If you are looking for the bright look of an LED, get the whole fixture. Just changing the bulb to an LED will give you a longer lasting bulb, but for the price, I would go with the whole fixture. Guy

My landing gear started to slowly get slower and slower over the space of a few months. It got to the point where it would barely lift the trailer off the truck! In my despair, I did what a lot of men do... I read the manual! It turns out that you are supposed to oil the landing gear posts from...

;) We found one at Camping World. It fits just right. Guy

We don't tarp ours at all. Life is too short for that noise.

I prefer to blow the lines out with air. It makes it so much easier to de-winterize - and no anti freeze taste in the water lines to contend with... Guy

Hi there, I had very low water pressure in my 3300BHS when I got it. I adjusted the pump pressure at the set screw on the pump head. I also added a cushion tank in the plumbing system. Now the pump is quieter and has as much pressure as in my house. Guy

I agree. Yes, I am above the GCVWR as set by GM's marketing department, but well within my front and rear axle ratings. As for chucking, a 1 ton dually makes no difference as I have tried it with my dad's dually 3500. My truck pulls my 3300 BHS very comfortably. Guy

Thanks for the info Michael. I always wondered why they didn't add up. My truck does the job of pulling my Sundance even though it is over it's GVWR but within the sum of it's axle weights. Oh well. I'll have to get a bigger truck regardless. The law is the law... Guy

There is a plug that you can buy in case it happens again, but the connection in the trailer has a built in check valve. Looks like your check valve is faulty. It can be something as simple as it being misaligned or broken. It's an easy fix regardless. I keep a plug in my trailer just in case...

If you want to be legal, get the 3500 dually. The 2500HD CAN definitly do the job, but if you get into an accident or are spot checked, you will be in trouble. I have a 2500HD pulling a 3300BHS and it is overweight by approximately 800 pounds per gross vehicle weight rating. I'm ok by every...

Keith - See my answers below... 1. When I weighed the tongue it was 900 lbs without water and the wife/kids, the hitch weight for the trailer indicates 675 lbs and the bars 600 lbs. Will the weight distribution system compensate for this? Should I empty the trailer and get an empty tongue...

A larger than required WDH is not a problem as you can always dial down the tension on the torsion bars. But too small a WDH will cause problems similar to not having any WDH. I would rather have larger than required WDH as it gives you more flexibility. You could almost crank it so hard that...

I had the same done to mine as Irvin66. A welder friend of mine cut off the old flimsy 4" sqaure bumper and welded on a good 3/16" thick 4" bumper. I haul 5 bikes on it with the bumper adapter. No problems. I guess the 'bikes on the king pin' idea is OK as long as your weight ratings on your...

I had the sewer bumper removed and replaced with a 4" X 4" 3/16" steel bumper (standard 4 X 4 steel). I have a bumper hitch adapter bolted to my bumper. I can now hang 5 bikes on the bumper plus my weight and no flex whatsoever. My dad follows us out when we go camping with his truck and trailer...

There is a phillips screw on the end of the pump (oposite motor end) which you can turn to adjust the water pressure settings. In order to increase the pressure, you turn the screw clockwise. Make sure to count the number of turns you give it so that you can set it back the way it was in case...

One thing you can try (now I know this is not scientific so all you mechanics out there give me a break!!!) is to run your truck and trailer through a puddle of water and then in a straight line on dry pavement. Then go out and measure the distances between the trailer marks on the pavement and...

You alluded to the the situation happening when running off the pump and tank. You also mentioned you have poor pressure. Those 2 tidbits indicate that your problem is with the set-up of the pump itself. You will have to adjust your pump cut-in and cut-out so that you have the proper...

New bumper A welder friend of mine simply replaced the 100 mil thin bumper I had with a 3/16" bumper. The original diamond plate on the 'old' bumper was re-installed on the new bumper. My bicycle rack bumper adapter was then attached to the new bumper. 5 bicycles on there plus my weight and it...

We had to shim the platform that holds the tanks in my dad's Sundance. The platform was out of whack. It has to be perfect or the door bulges out.

Hi Pat, I went with Timbrens. The first set I got did not have any clearance between the axle and the Timbren which made for a realy rough ride. I called the company and they sent me new ones with a 1.25" space. The Timbrens realy helped. They helped get rid of a lot of chucking and make for a...

Just be careful to use more than one square at a time! I hate it when my fingers go through!!!

Marybeth, My heart gooes out to you. I'm very sorry about your husband. He paid the ultimate price. And you have paid dearly as well. I'm very greatful to have you Americans as my neighbor. You guys are the best. I don't mean to change the subject of this thread, but when I hear of someone...

It doesn't realy matter. aatauses, My father has a truck that's been pulling for 3 years with the rails over top the drop in liner - no problems. I have my rails sitting over top a pray in liner - no problems. Guy

Willeyrabbit, Been there done that when it comes to that funny taste! It doesn't matter if you are drinking water from the hose hook up from the park or your fresh water tank because the water at the tap goes through the trailer's plumbing system. It can go away on it's own over time, but...

Don't get me wrong guys, I love my fiver because of the height, the size, etc... I just don't agree that they are any easier to pull that's all. I tried my dad's 1 ton dually with a 7000 lbs fiver and it chucked just as much as mine does. I am tempted to try out a Moryde pinbox at some point...

I used the same size and amperage as the original fuse. The fuse is located right next to the battery. It's an in-line fuse. Guy

I have pulled both and currently pull a fiver. I always heard about how much easier fivers are to pull, blah, blah, blah... I can tell you that my 26ft travel trailer was MUCH easier to pull than the fiver. It never swayed, I even pulled it up to 150 KM/hr with no problems. Wind did not bother...

Good idea to mark the legs dreamer. I have replaced my blown fuse with a breaker. It fits exactly where the fuse was. No more problems in case we ever do go too far with the landing gear as the breaker will simply reset automaticaly. Guy

Vim I get those black marks off using the yellow vim stuff - the one without the javex in it. It works like magic. It gets road grime and grease off very easily. Been using it for 2 years now with no ill effects. HRAI

Memory foam for me My parents have bought one and so have we. We bought the one from Wal-Mart and it's great. HRAI

I guess they don't like your question...

Fantastic Alan, Thanks for the info on the mod! I've been trying to figure something out for that problem for a while. These grommets they put on are not adequate and expensive for no reason. I'll be doing mine as soon as I get it back from the dealer. Guy

cracked lino Beautiful work on the floor there Ray. I might do something like that in mine down the road. I have a brand new Sundance which I brought in for warranty work. It was down around 0 F when they brought the trailer into their warm bay. When I went back to look at warranty work in...

Mine sure hasn't gotten off to a good start I picked up my 3300BHS just before Christmas. We went for a trip down south with it and had multiple problems. I know there are going to be problems as this is our third brand new RV. But this was a little ridiculous. We had and still have no heat in...

Any satisfaction??? I have the same problem with mine. There is definitely a circulation problem with mine. The burner cycles on/off constantly without heating the trailer too much. In 32 degree F weather, the furnace will not bring the coach up to a comfortable temperature - at least in...

Chris, Speaking from experience here... I have seen how dealers install WDH and let me tell you, a monkey could not do a worse job. Like someone said earlier, your bars should be level when your rig is hitched up and your trailer s/b as level as possible. One thing you should check is the...

rockhound454, sounds about right to me for those kinds of temperatures. That's a pretty big trailer to heat and those temperatures require quite a bit of furnace usage. Don't forget the sidewalls are only R7 and the floors and ceiling are R14! Guy
