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.

    Dometic 8500 Awning won't extend

    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...

    Error in the 5500 OM

    FCA Recall re 2012-2021 RAM 5500 Wheel Studs - Bad Torque Info in Manaul

    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...

    3500 lb. axle castle nut

    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
