Just had a look at ours, it is for the slides

Re: Speakers leaking We replaced our speakers with Fusion waterproof boat speakers. We have had no problems with water coming in at all, even when I wash the rig.

We have a 3kva honda, which is on a pull out slide mounted in the front gooseneck locker. If we want to use it more than once we leave it pulled out on the slide. It is electric/pull and remote start. It is bolted on the slide out frame, so makes it pretty hard to pinch. Good choice getting a...

I have actually used oil based polyurethane on our slldeout surround with no worries at all, a repair I did when a chunk was taken out of it. If you really want to paint it, I would recommend to sand down with sandpaper or wire wool the surface so the paint adheres to it. Put a coat of smooth...

We fitted them when we fitted the 6 point leveling kit. they work very well in conjunction with the leveling kit, but yes you have to undu them first when lifting the legs. I have considered getting a sign made to remind me to lift them, I have lifted them a few times without unduing them, not a...

I dread having a blowout. I check the pressures all the time, but obviously you can still have a blowout. It,s the damage it can cause, it would certainly ruin your day.

We relevel with the slides out. Every now and then we recalibrate the level up to make sure it is level, we do this with the slides out.

We fitted Steadyfast stabilizing bars when the 6 point level kit was fitted to our rig. They work well. The rig still moves around a bit, but they make a big difference. We would not do without any of what we fitted, just great.

Agree with every one. not a good idea.

We have had 6 point leveling for two years now. What we do if the wheels do come off the ground, is put wood underneath the feet and then let the rig down slightly, so the weight is on that side. Then adjust the other side to make level. This has worked well for us with no problems. Hope this helps.

Dual pane windows is the only way to go.

Re: Slam LAtch door not staying shut We had a lock that came open. I adjusted the striker plate a bit and shaved a bit off as well. That worked well and has been secure since. Cheers Paul

We fitted ours after we purchased, never do without them now. As regards to the wind we bought some Airwedges that fit in the gap nicely and stops the flapping.

Hi, I was told you have to have a urethane based selant and wear disposible gloves when smoothing the sealant off, or use ice block sticks. I use Simpsons 70-03 adhesive/selant, along with a Simpsons cleaner thinner before applying. I have used this system for over a year and a half now with...

Hello all, We installed a bumper that supports the bottom of the ladder, stopping it from bending as I stepped on it. It works very well, but we too have had the end caps on one of the steps broken. Cheers Paul

I have used Eternabond on our front, back caps and also on the top of the slides, with the eternabond going up the back of the fascia. Since I have done this, there has not been any signs of any leaks at all. I would recommend doing this from new, as it is perventitive maintenance.

Hi adock, We have had our rig now for 3 years and have lived in it full time for 16 months. It is a great rig. Love the kitchen, and it has plenty of room and storage area for us. I have done a lot of mods as everyone doe's. The issues that we have had, anyone could have had on any rig. Some of...

Re: Rig Photos Many thanks Dave Cheers Paul

Re: Rig Photos Here's a pic of our truck and rig. Parked up in Foxton Beach New Zealand

I was told to use citrus acid by a person who makes water tanks.

Hi Kirk Here are the photos as promised. We had the the bumper made for protection and support for the ladder which works very well and finally had the towball tongue fitted recently. The bike rack is very stable on the bumper. I hope the photos are a help for you. Cheers Paul

Hi Kirk Sorry for the late reply. I will take some photos and post them soon Cheers Paul

Hi We had leaks in our basement especially when I connected up to city water and also when the back flush was connected to the black tank. I found both of these fittings leaking badly. So I took them apart and sealed them up with sealant, making sure the curclip is clipped back in place with...

Hi We had a a rear bumper bar fitted to our rig intially to protect the rear and to support the bottom of the ladder to stop it from moving. We have since had a tongue and ball welded to the bumper bar for our bikes, we have'nt travelled with the bikes on the bike rack yet but it is very...

Hi I am looking to purchase the 20k pullrite superglide, I believe is upgraded from the 18k. I would like to know the dimensions of the slide rails as I'm working out how much room is left on the standard deck of a new chevy silverado 3500. The reason is to work out what tool boxes I am going...

Hi Can someone help me out here. Looking to purchase 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD SRW with a standard box. I have been told I'll need a sliding hitch. So therefore I am looking at the Pullrite superglide 18k on the chevy. Will this be ok, has anyone got one and is working well. We have a Big...

Hi Tom What I got told to use on the EPDM to clean it ready for eternabond to go on is Acetone. I have used this and it appears to work well. I have checked the eternabond I have applied and all seems well. Cheers Paul

Hi there We had several leaks in both slides. This is want I did to fix them. 1 Check the screws on the side wall, as they might be put in on an angle and water runs in. Fixed by taking screw out redrilling hole straight refitting a s/s screw and with sealant around it as well. I have...

Hi all. Thankyou very much for your comments. It sounds like a very reliable gearbox. Many thanks Paul

Hi, We are looking at the idea of purchasing soon a new 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500HD. My question is the Allison automatic gearbox a good transmission. I know it is used in many vehicle types. Doe's it have any problems that I should be concerned about. Linked up to the Duramax motor sounds like...

Sorry Rick I read your post wrong, now I know what you are saying. Many thanks

Hi Rick Many thanks for your ideas. I will consider all reccomendations. I am assuming that the 5200 diamond plate is similar to what we call here in NZ, checker plate. I have this on the back of my truck. It is very good. Cheers Paul

Hi there Jim. I know thinks are always changing and thats good. I spend a bit of time looking at the new models and their upgrades. Don't get me wrong we love our rig and wouldn't change it. I'll get to the bottom of the speaker problem, but the thing here in NewZealand we don't have the...

Our outside speakers have failed. The sound is now very dissorted and they leaked badly through the cover, so I looked to replace them. I thought I would replace them with Fusion 7in marine speakers, so I went about getting some. One problem was once I measured them up, I would have to cut a...

I had to replace the whole side of ours at the roof level, it had broken down with the uv. I also replaced all srews to stainless steel. Make sure you double over the plastic trim ends, secure with the ends with screws and seal the ends with sealant. Works well.

Re: Airsafe 20k binkley hitch Thank you Ray. The indicator does not exist on our shock absorbers. The manual says do not inflate more than 100psi but does,nt give a psi guide to follow by. It only gives certain measurements from the top of the towers., but truck under repair at the moment, so...
