    Bolt pattern on tire rim

    Emailed Tredit yesterday and they want me to take a picture of one of the tires and send to them. I gave them the VIN number, make, and model of the camper but they want a picture. Thought they might have what they needed with the info I gave them. The picture will only tell them it has 8 lugs...

    Second AC freezing up

    Just installed a Dometic non-ducted, 13,500, low profile AC in MBR. It has froze up 3-4 times on me to the point I can barely here the fan blowing at all much less blowing anything into the cabin. The installer told me that the unit has to 'cycle' since it has no thermostat and to put the dial...

    Buying New Tires?

    One other thing I forgot to mention. The day I bought this 5th wheel used from Camping World I drove it off the lot with 80psi in all four tires. At that time didn't think about it. They preped this rig for me and told me to run 80psi in the tires. REALLY, this is a G rated tire with 110psi not...

    Furnace Making Noise When First Turn On

    When I first turn on my furnace (on cold nights) the fan comes on and makes a real loud noise. After it runs for awhile it seems to be less noisy. It's almost like a loud fibration or maybe the fan itself needs replacing. I assume there are 2 fans in the furnace. One for safety to blow all gases...

    Kitchen Slide not pulling in even

    When I pull my slide in the decorative wood trim on the slide is rubbing my wall trim going intio my rear living room. It's almost like the slide itself is off center or maybe not lined up correctly. On one occasion it even stalled my pump and stoppded. I pushed it back out and was able to get...

    Weight limit of the roof

    Does anybody know the weight limit for people on the roof? I go to a lot of Nascar races and watch them from my roof and was wanting to know. My gut feeling and common sense tells me that the ladder is inteeded for someone to access the roof for maintenance and is not for spectator viewing.

    refrigerator not cooling

    They read off to me that it's cooling at 30-40 degrees when i pick it up but they can't keep it hooked on AC all the time b/c they have other rv's to work on so my rv fridge is off when i pick it up every time. They just tell me they fixed it 'this time' and read the work order to me.

    Refer coils icing up

    I talked to Dometic about my fridge not cooling but my freezer works fine and I asked them about the thermo sensor attached to the fins which should be all the way up. He told me if the thermo sensor was bad then the fridge would freeze up.

    refrigerator not cooling

    Got my rv back last week and now they said they found a wire that was cut or something...got it back home and now it's cooling in the lower 60's...still isn't cooling but the freezer remains frozen. Has anybody ever seen this before...I'm beginning to think it will never be fixed. HELP!

    refrigerator not cooling

    Be nice if Dometic just made a different thermo switch which would come on a lower temp. I should hear something this week on what they found wrong, if any, with the fridge. I will share these ideas and comments with them.

    refrigerator not cooling

    i looked at my service ticket the last time i picked it up and they stated that they 'tested the temp sensor to the fan with a heat gun and got the fan to come on but should come on at a lower temp than what the heat gun puts out' so they replaced the fan temp sensor. i wonder what temp...

    refrigerator not cooling

    i thought when you opened the door to the fridge and thus raised the temp up that some switch would have to kick on and cool it back down. your saying when the temp on the back exterior of the fridge reaches a certain temp it should kick on.

    refrigerator not cooling

    the other meaning the fan side? the service tech said they 'put' another swithc on but all i know is when my fridge is in the lower 50's i should be able to walk outside and hear the fans correct?

    refrigerator not cooling

    if the fan is located on the back side of the slideout on the top vent all i would need is to bypass the switch and see if the fan works or just add another fan?

    towing a 3655RD with my f-250 power stroke

    Yeah...tell me about it. The bottle is sometimes half empty or half full it seems on this forum. We camp maybe once a month mainly about 15 miles from our house so the good news is we're not fulltimers by no means. Anything you tow behind your truck is heavy and takes various tolls on your...

    towing a 3655RD with my f-250 power stroke

    Thats what I thought too. The maximum amount of trailer weight cannot exceed 15,500lbs according to Ford's website so the DOT or FED's would have to adhere to this as well. I keep a copy in my glove box just in case I see blue lights in my rear mirror.

    towing a 3655RD with my f-250 power stroke

    According too ford.fleet, our trucks rear axle GAWR is 6100lbs., the front is 5200lbs. The F-350 is almost the same. You want make any lbs. improvement on the rear axle i don't think. The rear axle as is with nothing in the bed doesn't have that much weight anyhow.
