    What’s your experience with the upgraded roof actuators?

    With COVID keeping the use level down over the last 18 months, many of us discovered this spring our rotted actuators with irreversible water infiltration. To those who have gotten the improved factory replacement version…let’s call that those with better seals and the rubber motor gasket...

    Battery Box upgrade for GeoPro16BH

    I'm ready to add a second 12V Battle Born for my GeoPro 16BH. Doing the measurements it doesn't look like I'll be able to fit both batteries in the current battery box. Any recommendations for a new battery box that doesn't weigh a ton and will fit both batteries?

    Big Upgrade

    Hi everyone! My family and I just upgraded from a 2009 Fleetwood pop up to a 2021 FR Wildwood. Our three teenagers were getting too big for the beds, though we loved the simplicity and light tow weight! We “skipped a step” in getting a small travel trailer and went to the 33’ big un. We are...

    TV upgrade

    Hello everyone. I’m looking to maybe upgrade to 3/4 ton truck. I currently have Sierra 1500. This truck pulls my trailer just fine but I feel it’s going to put a lot of wear and tear on it, and probably won’t get as much out of it later on. So looking for 3/4 either diesel or gas. Haven’t...

    Our cameras in our 2017 37bh are foggy at night. I want to replace them but wasn't sure on the part numbers. Also would be nice to upgrade to dual rear cameras. Is there a rear dual camera system that doesn't require running new wires? I have already upgraded to a quad display and have one...

    Suspension Upgrade Suggestions? - 2017 Sunseeker MBS 2400WS

    We do A LOT of boondocking, which means a lot of gravel and uneven roads, which means a lot of swaying. I'm wondering if there are suspension upgrades that might reduce the swaying? Currently, all suspension is stock, including a stock Hellwig sway bar (not sure if there are 1 or 2 of these)...

    Upgrade to a Surveyor

    Hi all - already found the forum very useful as I waited the 2 weeks for delivery of our new Surveyor 202RBLE. Upgraded from a 2015 2514g tent trailer which was great but looking forward to a little more luxury. Lots to learn and thanks for your assistance so far.

    Soft Start AC Upgrade Recommendations

    After looking into improving my 5'er AC's with the RV Airflow System for increasing cooling efficiency, I also want to install a soft start system. Found several YouTube videos on installing SoftstartRV and seems to be a rather quick and straightforward upgrade. I'm leaning towards this...

    Water Heater Upgrade, Furrion Tankless

    Ive been very disappointed with the Girard Gen1 WH in our camper. It can work perfectly or other times it can alternately scald and freeze you. After much research and thought I bought the Furrion Tankless WH. Up to 2.4 GPM heated up to 125 degrees and settable digitally at whatever outlet...

    Recently bought a 1990 Guailridge Park model in a campground and want to replace the shower head and arm. The arm passes through a one inch thick chrome collar which seems to be glued to the fiberglass shower, any way can't remove it to actually see the pipe that the arm is screwed into. I'm...

    My battery upgrade to BB gamechangers

    Just put in my new batteries. I like all the amphours (270ea x 3 = 810Ah) but not sure about the form factor and a few details such as when they are flat on a surface, it is almost impossible to get to the negative terminal bolts and terminal covers. If I were to do it again, I would mount them...
