500

I am going to install a Cummins Onan 5500 in my 2019 Cedar creek. I noticed that there are multiple variations besides the normal LP or Gas and wanted some help with this. All models are rated the same but have different setups. One has two 30 amp breakers. One has a 30 amp plus a 20 amp breaker...

I noticed on a recent 3-night trip that the a/c cools much better when in "Dry" mode. It has struggled to cool the RV down at all in "Cool-Hi" mode, and never got it comfortable, even running all the time. Seems something is wrong about that. Could wires be crossed or something else wrong?

Just finished adding 2 x 170W expansion solar panels to our existing 160 W system, all on our small REV roof. We boondock quite a bit, plus tailgating 10 home Chiefs game in KC, MO. I know this forum generally hates Zamp, but I like the easy install that we did ourselves over two years. Only...

Shakedown trip this weekend for our I5. Couple of quick questions: 1. Should we have received a hard copy owners manual for the RAM 5500 with our I5? Demo guy at dealer said that one should be included and that they would order and get it delivered to us in 2 weeks. When 2 weeks passed and I...

We are picking up a 2015 Sunseeker 3170DS this weekend. Husband wants to flat tow his Silverado 1500. Anyone tow their truck? Any advice??

New to camping. Looking to buy a fifth wheel. Wasn't really sure what we wanted when bought the truck, so I just went with a one ton diesel Chevy. Now we have our search narrowed down including the Chaparral 360IBL. I am planning on putting a companion hitch in. I haven't really looked at the...

Anyone know what socket size to use on a 3500 lb Lippert axle for the axle castle nut?

Anyone running sway pro hitch with ram 3500 SRW? I am expecting my truck to come in around 5/2 and RV trip 5/4. I know the shank that came with the hitch (7hole) isn't going to work with the taller truck. So, if anyone has this setup, does the 9 hole shank work, or, should I get the 11 hole...

Hi all We've decided to start flat towing. Neither of our current vehicles can be towed, so we're looking at trading our Rogue for a Ford Edge. I'm not in a position to get my manual at the moment, so I was hoping someone here could provide some feedback. I don't recall the towing limits for...

We are looking at getting a new tv. Test drove a Chevy Express 3500 LT passenger van w/6.0 engine and this is more than enough to handle our 22' mini lite. The problem was the test drive demonstrated some crazy bouncing on the highway, especially on the concrete sections. Further research...

Advice on Installing Onan 5500 I have a 2019 Cedar Creek 29 and have been considering having an Onan 5500 Generator installed. My dealer seems to know what they are doing and have done many. There is plenty of room upfront for it and they say they will reinforce the floor to handle the weight...

Would you tow a grand design 337rl with a 10500 lb dry weight and 13995 gross weight and hitch weight of 2050 with my truck?

We just activated our Sirius XM on the chassis radio. Is there a way to play it through the coach speakers? We have 2018 Isata 5 30 fw so it is the 2017 chassis. Thanks!

looking to get a bigger truck to replace my Toyota Tacoma that I cant pull the RV with. I have a forest river 2504 and with a total weight of 7,000 fully loaded wet and gear. Does it make that much of a difference if I buy a truck with the 3:21 rear end or the 3:92 if I just pull that much...

We are currently looking for a new tow vehicle and on a limited budget. Here in western Massachusetts it is hard to find a 3/4 ton that isn't rotting out or been abused as a plow truck. I came across a 2011 Ram 1500 quad cab Laramie with 3.55 gears 20 inch wheels, our current trailer is...

We currently have a 2007 RAM 2500 2WD and are looking to upgrade to a 2017 or 2018 RAM 4x4. My question, will I have issues towing our 8289WS level with either of the 2500 or the 3500? Also is the 3500 higher than the 2500? Thanks in advance.

I was concerned that the DEF level indicator in my new Isata 5 was not working properly, (comparing it to my DEF indicator in my Ram 3500 which seemed to burn DEF at a much higher rate or it just had a smaller DEF tank), after a trip to the dealer they tested it and said that it was working...

First post, and I'll create an intro thread ASAP. Bought a 2018 RAM 2500 Cummins to pull a future trailer, just wondering if it's stout enough to pull a Rockwood 8280WS? The GVWR is 1772, and the trailer specs are as follows... Weight Dry Weight 8,707 lbs. Payload Capacity 1,279 lbs. Hitch...

Hello! Sorry to ask the same question as everyone else, but I don't know what to do! I sold my TT last week and we put a deposit down on a Vibe 288RLS yesterday. I'm wondering if I should get it or get something lighter. A new truck isn't an option right now. The dealer said my truck would...

We just bought the 3500 inverter generator from harbor freight and used it today... Amazingly quiet...we plugged it in and walked about 50yrds away towards our neighbors in both directions (neighbors on both sides) and heard nothing... Plus it charged up batteries pretty quick too... Highly...

Hi. A little bit about us. I've been retired a while now. My wife recently retired. We are the proud owners of a new MH and we love it. We have a 2019 2500ts. Although this is our first MH we have been camping for years. The MH has Lippert auto levelers. The jacks are not working properly so...

I have a 2014 Forest River Crusader 360BHS. Myself and two buddies are taking trip from Thursday to Sunday in a couple months. The place we are going is pretty much a parking lot they are allowing campers to park on so there are no hook ups. We do get a portajohn with our entrance fee so that...

Hello all. We just purchased a 2019 Nissan NV3500 to tow our 2014 Rockwood Roo 233s. Does anyone else tow with a NV?

We have landed on trading in the F150 3.5 Max tow cc in on a HD truck. Pulling our 7600 lb Rockwood TT, the 3.5 Eco pulls it very well, it is pretty unstable also. Loaded, I have about 50 lbs payload leftover. We have debated getting a 3P or Hensley hitch as well as other upgrades to the...

I have a small travel trailer, about 700 cubic feet. So I bought two the of 500 size Eva-Drys (they are each rated for up to 500 cu. ft). I bought these for dehumidification while trailer is sitting unused and in storage. The trailer is completely closed up and covered. I monitor humidity...
