I ordered my DX3 in summer of 2018 and took delivery in Nov that same year. So, I have used it just under 3 yrs and recently rolled over 50k miles yesterday. I have used it in a range of temps in the single digits to the high 90’s. States: FL, TX, LA, KY, GA, AL, TN, AR, OK, CO, KS, IN, IL...
When I look at the vertical alignment of my dual trailer wheels as its sitting on level ground, one of the wheels on both sides seem to be off vertical a bit and not inline with the other one. Like "maybe" 1" at the top,,,,
Not a whole bunch but noticeable enough that the wife commented on it...
I have 2 Dometic Brisk II 15000 btu ACs B59516 on my (new to me) travel trailer. One does not seem to be cooling that well. On a 95+ degree day the compressor was pulling from 11.75 - 12 amps and the air just seemed slightly cold, however the unit on top did have a small stream of condensation...
My 2004 27" Wildcat has a Manual Dometic 8500 series awning that will now only extend to about 6 ft. As you pull it down it gradually gets harder and harder to pull until it just stops. I can push it back to where it will lock in place.
I contacted Dometic and they said the springs are on back...
I just got a new GMC Sierra 1500 SLE which does not have towing mirrors. I was looking at the CIPA slip ons, but they tell me the mirror glass is not adjustable? Has anyone had experience with these and do they work well without being able to adjust? The stock truck mirrors are OK for driving...

I searched and didn't get a good "review" answer, so here goes.
I'm considering the Westinghouse iGen4500 4,500/3,700-Watt Gas Powered Inverter Generator. $876.00 on Amazon including free Prime shipping.
Then there's this guy: Champion Power Equipment 200987 4500-Watt RV Ready Portable...
A question I guess has that has never been asked :)
The RAM 2020 Owners Manual specifically says that Bluetooth is available to another device if a phone is connected to Android using a USB data cable. Not so. Google specifically grabs Bluetooth for Android as well as the cable connection and...
Got my notice today. Surprised I couldn't find anything in this Forum on it yet. It appears the owners manual had incorrect info re lugnut torque instructions that could result in overtorqued lug nuts that in turn could result in cracks/failure of wheel studs. Not good. Fix appears to be an...
Is anyone out there powering a 15k AC w soft start with a Champion 2500w Dual Fuel? I’ve spoke to many that power a 15k w soft start using a Honda 2200. Having trouble finding someone who has this particular set up. Thanks in advance
Good evening everyone!
RV Newbie here!
I recently purchased the Westinghouse iGen4500 to power my 2017 Forest River Evo T195BHFS. The genny starts and runs like a champ, until I try and turn on my 15k btu AC unit. It’ll run for about 3-5 seconds after turning the ac unit to cool, then it’ll go...
Folks,
Yesterday I had LoadLifter 5000 installed on my RV on 4 weels with a compressor wireless driven.
The provider who have make the installation told me that no wonder the support blades and suspension coils at the back originally installed were at limit as a weigth point of view with a...
I am looking at buying a 2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn V-8, Crew Cab, 5'7" bed, 3.92 rear axle. I can find the comprehensive Ram towing/payload capacity charts for 2019 and 2021, but not for 2020. The only 2020 Ram towing chart I can find is for the Tradesman version.
I'm sure I will not exceed the...

While stopped for lunch traveling west of Mesa Verde I lost power to protected outlet plugs and Zantrex. The generator was running with both a/c units. Plugged in 1500 watt air fryer (same plug as used on shore power).
So plugged into outlets on driver side and those plugs went out but a/c...
I had my 5 year old Onan 4K watt generator with 280 hours on it service and adjusted a few months ago. It has run flawlessly and amazingly starts right up after priming first try. But that is at 850 feet and even 4,000 feet at Yosemite.
But this week we went to Convict Lake in the eastern...
Does anyone really use a torque wrench to set the castle nut(50ft.lbs)? before you back it off and hand tighten it? If so, what size socket does that take? 1 1/2"? I think the 3500lb axle uses a 1" castle nut? Trailer is not here so I'm just trying to prepare.
Thanks

I just replaced the tires on my Wolf Pup 16fq after one of the "China Bombs" blew. As I was putting on the new tire I noticed that there was a slight bit of play left to right. So this made me want to replace the bearings just incase.
My question is does anybody know what Timken bearings, seals...
