Currently are using a Reese weight distribution with sway, square bars
When traveling the truck and camper has a bounce at times, depending on road conditions. So was thinking of upgrading to one of the following and would like some opinions:
Keep the current system and add the Road active...
Looking for a sanity check here - I have a 2021 GMC 2500HD, towing a 37' 5th wheel. When driving, I feel like the brakes are working - but if I apply the brakes manually with the brake controller, there's only a slight application of trailer brakes. Enough to feel it, but nowhere close to...
2021 A213HW. Got it last month, hooked it up to shore power and tested everything at home before heading out this weekend. No problems.
Set it up this weekend in the mountains and could not get the furnace to work. The blower would cut on for 15-30 seconds and then turn off. The heat would...
So, I have a 2021 Salem Hemisphere 286RL. I've been attempting to trace out the circuits, and I started at the panel. I've been able to sort out almost everything, but I have one question mark that I don't quite understand.
On the DC panel, there is a 3a fuse marked LP, and a 10a fuse marked...
I just purchased a lightly used 2022 Flagstaff 524BBS (it actually looks brand new). This is the 1st RV I've owned with a solar panel & solar charge controller installed. My question is when I am plugged into ship power what is charging the batteries? The converter or the solar??? On my previous...
I have a 2023 Micro Lite 21FBRS. On the left hand side of the bed (when standing at the foot of the bed) and attached to the front of the left hand shelf is a USB outlet and a switch next to it. On our last trip I flipped the switch to turn off the overhead bed lights after getting in bed. Is...
On my 2022 DynaQuest XL I have lithium batteries, Go Power solar charge controller and an inverter.
All day Tuesday from 9am and all day Wednesday until 5pm I was on battery and solar.
On Tuesday I drove for six hours and Wednesday I drove for three hours.
When I stopped on Tuesday...
My trailer has 2 awning and I was wondering if anyone has tried to put slide awnings on. I am not sure how I could put a slide awning on the slide that has the awning attached to it.
Hey Folks
Let me apologize upfront to the moderators if Im not posting in the correct place for my questions
As mentioned, very new to the RV world. I have been given some good advice so far, go to shows(going in Jan), go to dealers(been to 1 so far), rent 1st to see if this is the kind of...
Why does my Fairview x series supply valve only turn to point to one of my two tanks? The turning scope of the valve does not permit it to turn to the second tank. 0 and 180 degrees of the valve lever’s turning ability point the lever perpendicular to the supply lines; when the lever is at 90 it...
My power center has a 15 amp breaker marked "solar".
Why would there be an AC breaker for a DC system?
At first I thought it might be the disconnect for the PV system but that can't be right, either.
Is there a specific area to post dumb newbie questions? I know most newbie questions are just uninformed, but I’m convinced that I have plenty of questions that are just dumb. I’d like to post them in an area that wouldn’t be too annoying. Thanks. [emoji23]
I have a 2020 GeoPro G19FD with 1 factory installed 100W solar panel on top and a portable 210W solar panel that I plug into the side port as needed. Each panel has its own old style charge/controller. I'm driving (2) 6V GC2 Duracell batteries, 215 Ahr each. (Since the batteries are connected...
I have a 2022 Cherokee Ltd 294 km trailer with a 12 v DC only fridge. Canon model.
In resetting it recently when the two blue light blinked, I went to the fuse panel under sofa and I saw the 30 amp 12v unusual green fuse at top in panel when pulled out (to replace) would not accept the new...
I just got a 2003 Wildcat 5th wheel. I've found a PDF of the owners manual but since they used several different makes of appliances, I really have no guide for the operation of
things like the water heater, furnace etc. Is there any way to get copies of the operating instructions ?
Next my...
Hello,
I have a new 2023 Salem 32RETX and I have it on a seasonal site. There is a local ISP and I have a new account set up and received the modem. The question I have is which one of the three external coax connections should I use, or does it not matter?
The is one near the rear of the unit...
Hi there, newbie to 5th wheel towing, long time tow-behind guy.
I have a Curt E16 hitch with the slide-bar.
I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how this is supposed to latch.
I know I can pull the slide bar level out, twist it and those 2 metal 'bumps' (for lack of a better word). Hold...
Hi all,
So I've traced a condensation leak in my AC to the front, door-side corner of my roof AC. It seems the gasket was torn at the factory, as I can see a tear on the gasket from the outside, and from the inside, I can feel a gap in the gasket as well. Looks like it was sealed or glued at...
Evening all,
Wasn't sure where to start bbuutt this seemed fairly proper so, apologies if this is the wrong sub-forum and please delete / move as needed.
This is sorta my crash course into RV'ing so I'm gonna have some pretty dumb questions. First RV, never towed one, or really spent much time...
I only want to do a very simple project of replacing a bathroom fan switch with a timer switch. I turned off the breaker to the bathroom lights (2 wall lights on one switch) and adjacent fan switch. Both switches are now inoperative (no power). However, when I put the Klein tool on the switches...
Hey guys! Just picked up our 2024 Wolf Pup 16FQ last week. Spent a couple nights in it next to my family's house. Everything seems perfect! Left it there as that will be where we keep it for now (about 4 hours away) and we're going back next week to take it to a campground there.

I'm reaching out to you guys because I can't find an answer to my question on the internet . Maybe because it's so self evident ?
Here goes . I loaded my hand operated lumax because I plan on doing the front suspension / steering linkage. When I finally got it primed and ready to go only to...
I did search but could find no posts on this subject. I recently bought a Freelander 20CBT 2016. It currently has one 90 amp battery. I was thinking of replacing battery with 200 amp AGM battery.
I was also weighing the expense of lithium batteries, the upgrade to my power converter would...
I have a 2023 Clipper Cadet 17CBH. Can anyone tell me if this camper comes with an inverter for converting 12 volts to 110? It has a Everchill 115 volt refrigerator and I would like to run it while on battery.
Thank you.

As we get more acquainted to our coach, we have more questions. Questions are from the Forest River Maintenance section that we are looking at.
1) 6 mo, clean toilet filter? Does this unit have one?
2) 12 mo, apply reconditioner to slide room wiper seals and bulb...
