    Forest River Ram 5500 Class C

    I have been reading the recent post by bclemens in the Dynamax forum concerning ideas for a new Isata 5 configuration. The manufacturer engagement on this site is one of the reasons I bought a Forest River product. Thank you very much for your participation! Frankly, I can't afford the luxury...

    2011 Ram 3500 Mud flap suggestions

    A few weeks ago I acquired a new-to-me tow rig. It’s a 2011 Dodge Ram 3500 DRW Laramie with a 6.7l Cummins with only 53k/mi. The truck is in excellent condition and I couldn’t be happier with it, with the only exception being that it came with an almost new set of BF Goodrich MT. Certainly these...

Moving to a larger SUV is a potential option but we are also considering a higher mileage truck as a third vehicle to pull the trailer and...

    So, I had a Mini Cooper that used to flat tow behind my RV. It needed to have the key in the ignition. I just bought a 2013 Fiat 500 manual transmission to tow. Does anyone know if you need the key in the ignition? I know I have to have it in Neutral. I have looked in the Fiat manual and all...

    Air Suspension for RAM 3500

    We in the process of updated our tow vehicle to a RAM 3500 4X2 Crew SB SRW. We will be towing a 16K 5th Wheel. I am still on the fence about getting the optional Auto levelling Air suspension. What other benefits beyond the load leveling will I likely see. (Stability, chucking, etc.). I'm...

    2018 Ram 5500 AppleCarplay

    FYI, it looks like the harness/module that ships loose with the Ram 5500 (plugs in under the seat to get Aux and a couple more USB's) will work with Android Auto, but not Apple CarPlay. We have complained about this for a while. They finally sent some engineers with, I guess, a newer module...

    Why does my battery discharge at ~500mA?

    I just bought a new 2019 2401R and I have noticed that the battery discharges fairly rapidly, even when I have turned off everything I can turn off.
