    What exactly are you looking for? I have a 2007 Haulmark and haven't seen any kind of "controller" for the slides, just rocker switches to reverse the polarity.

    Heavy duty trailer

    Unless you stay at campgrounds that are way more level than the ones I stay at I am sure you will want a levelling system. Plus if the trailer chassis you use is air-ride (the only way I would go, springs would just destroy everything) you will have motion transfer. This is what is on my...

    366 propane to gas conversion.

    From what I can recall from days long gone by.....if you take a gas engine and put propane on it, it will run properly, but not as efficiently(power wise) as an engine built for propane. But when trying to make a propane engine burn gasoline there may be issues depending on how "built" for...

    Last summer I had to replace the Michelin XZA2 Energy 295/80R22.5 that the dealer put on my coach when I bought it 6yrs ago due to dry rot(only have about 10,000miles on them. The dealer chain my employer uses had some Continental HSR2 that they were willing to sell me for $200/tire due to...

    Side Marker/Turn Signals - the lighting fetish continues

    Any light that does not have a SAE or DOT Approval number on them is illegal for on road use. Not that this stops most people. These lights https://www.rigidindustries.com/lights/series/sae-compliant.html would be legal when used properly.

    Chariot 40,000 pound pintle

    Your current ball hitch is NOT meant to accept a lunette(pintle) ring with an additional piece, it is designed that way to give it proper support for up to a 25,000lb trailer. If you want a 40,000lb pintle hitch you will probably have to get a fabrication shop to make a solid mount that bolts...

    LED Headlights

    Thanks for posting. Pretty much what I had envisioned. So to hold the new LED lights into your custom buckets you used the just the retaining ring from the JW Speaker mounting kits? What you did addressed one of my concerns quite effectively, having a mount that allows for aiming properly. I...

    LED Headlights

    Petrel do you have any pictures of the modifications you had to make to the stock buckets to mount the Evolution 2's? I plan on(and have been planning for several years now) doing something similar to my Haulmark/Coronado soon, the stock stuff sucks. I don't do much night driving when I am...

    EGR flow is not monitored, it will still sense the EGR valve operating so it thinks everything works. The older the engine the simpler they get.

    Most of the mechanics that I know that work on them say they seem to do better in vocational or regional (gravel trucks, local delivery trucks, etc) applications, where engine loads and speed varies greatly, than in less long haul type trucks where you set the cruise and go at a steady pace...

    Renegade/Showhauler style hitch setup.

    I made my own ball platform(with bushpilots pics for reference), it is on a Haulmark but looking at the pictures for a Renegade it looks the same.
