upgrade

Has anyone ungraded the smoke detector to one less likely to go off when cooking? It turns out our dog jumps on the bed and pees whenever the smoke detector goes off. I would be interested in specific models of smoke detector that worked well.

Hi all, Looking to make a few upgrades this coming spring after finally getting our new 2021 Salem Hemisphere fifth wheel. Got to camp in it for a good 4-5 weeks before winterizing it. The most important upgrade we need is the OVEN. As most know these ovens ( stove top is fine) are...

Not finding much information on upgrading the alternator on my older 2003 Chevy Silverado Duramax. I have upgraded my Fifth wheel to 2 Battleborn batteries, and installed a 20 amp DC to DC charger. My concern is that my truck only has a 105 amp alternator. (Checked the build sheet specs). I'm...

As winter sets in I was thinking about a modification needed on my 2021 Rockwood 2606WS. As soon as we purchased the unit, we replaced the lightweight mattress with a queen pillowtop residential mattress. It is quite a bit heavies than original and the current shock assist's are woefully...

Has any of you considered or installed any of the morryde.com Cargo Trays? Additionally, any great ideas on how to best utilize the pass through storage bays? The Cargo trays look like a great idea for heavy items and or a small BBQ to get in and out of the storage bays.

I have a 2018 Cedar Creek 40CCK with a 40,000 btu furnace by Suburban. Is there a direct bolt in replacement that is doesn't roar loudly?

My single axle NoBo has Dexter torsion suspension and is so bouncy it tosses things in the air on small bumps. What do you all think is the best upgrade for a smooth ride on back country roads?

Has anyone ever upgraded their 5th wheel old style water heater valves, and water pump valves behind the basement panel to three way valves that can be accessed easily? I just upgraded my Impression 26RET, and will post some pictures at a later dates. No more crawling inside the basement, just...

Hey all, Does anyone know where I can get a wiring diagram for this RV? Turns out I can't just drop a lithium battery into the spot currently held by my Trojan T-105s. No... that'd be too easy and as we all know NOTHING is easy in the RV world. Turns out I gotta upgrade my charge...

Not sure how to post a cross thread on this forum. You may enjoy my notes posted at https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f242/my-lithium-upgrade-experience-221184.html#post2457637. And, thanks to Riverbend for a key picture to help me finish the project.

Lots of stuff out there. Lots of incomplete, dated materials on the web, and stories about installs on other platforms.... Lots of acronyms that aren't explained... I'm no expert, but maybe my experience can help others. 4 photos attached. I've got a Forest River Forester 2401WS on a 2016...

Hi I have a 2019 Indiana built Wolf Pup 18TO. I have added solar, bike racks and batteries and other stuff to it so we can boondock, and now the empty axle weight is 4400 pounds and the tongue weight is 700. I changed out the 5000 pound A frame coupler that was the subject of a recall and...

Thought I would share my Solar, Inverter and Battery Upgrade. I added (2) 100ah Battle Born Batteries, a Victron Multiplus charger/inverter unit, 290w solar panel and solar charge controller. This should put keep our family of 3 fully self contained for a week or better in most conditions. I...

Hi, I've read all the threads and I'm convinced. Thought I would just go online and buy the 310... However, I was immediately faced with the low or high profile option, then right after that with the 310 vs 311 option. The trailer is about 2 hours away, winterized and silently waiting for...

Purchasing a new Forest River Vibe 24X, the model I see has a small exhaust fan the covers about 1/4th of the 14"x14" opening, I am use to a Maxxair fan, how good are these little fans and should I replace this with a Maxxair fan.

Just upgraded my OEM plastic Thetford toilet to a nicer porcelain bowl model (Thetford Aqua Magic Style II) and now trying to find a better seat/lid combo than the original cheap plastic it came with. Ideally, I'd like to find a nice painted wood (or at least SOLID plastic) slow-close model if...

We own a 2020 Surveyor Luxury 251RKS. I have been reading other sites about folks upgrading their suspension with the Lippert Road Armor and bushings/wet bolt kit. We are not full-timers and never will be. In a year or so we will be taking a cross country camping trip (15,000 miles or so) but...

I tried searching the forum and found 79 pages of different tires issues. :eek: I have a 2014 FR 8289WS. The Prev. Owner upgraded to ST 225/75R/15 D. I have a quote from a tire shop to install E rated tires. Is that going to be too stiff? Should I stay with D rated or does it really matter?

Installed front and rear Sumo’s...dialed the suspension right in. No sway at all and very comfortable at highway speeds. Also installed the Renntech ECU program. Beautiful power and torque gain.

I am thinking about upgrading the suspension on my Catalina 26 TH and was wondering which one of three suspension you guys think would work best? I would also include new bronze bushings and wet bolts.

We purchased an Arctic Wolf 5th Wheel that came stock with a 50-watt solar panel. The panel's primary use is to power the units' DC electric refrigerator. The refrigerator draws about 11amps. Unfortunately, the stock solar panel does not generate enough power to keep the batteries charged...

I have a 2016 Coachmen Freelander 27QB on the Ford E-350 chassis, and am interested in opinions on audio upgrades that people have done. The stock Jensen unit is ok, buy I'd like android auto and I don't care for the layout of the jensen controls. I have already upgraded the speakers. Also...

HI gang Well, we have finished our first sales season in the Western Canadian Provinces in our 25ft Jayco Jayflight Baja TT, pulled by our 2018 Toyota Tacoma. And, we have realized a few things. Working/living in a 25 ft trailer for 6 weeks at a time is a challenge re: space and storage. Also...
