upgrade

I am considering a Kodiak disc brake upgrade for my 2018 CC 38EL. Are there any opinions on which would be better bolt on rotors or hub and rotor. Thanks in advance.

Finally got the time/weather to add the additional 4 100w panels i bought back in Oct. Install went smooth, I used magnets to find the steel roof cross members and 3" coated self tapping screws to attach 1" aluminum tubing. Then attached the panels to the aluminum with 1" self tapping screws...

We just purchased a mattress for our previous camper that was an RV king (72x80). Depending on comfort, we may want to move that to the Riverstone 42FSKG we are buying. Has anyone done this by chance? I suspect it might cause issue with the closet slide in the bedroom, but wanted to see if...

Hi all! I have a 2020 Freelander 27QB and am having problems with the cheap plastic toilet that it came with. I asked our RV shop (which is WAY over-priced) about upgrading the toilet to a porcelain model with sprayer and they said that they would have to charge us at least an extra hour of...

Made a convenience and security upgrade today. Our two pass-through compartment doors, outdoor kitchen door and outdoor shower door were on a separate key (CH751) from the two entry doors (G300 series). The key for the compartments was a common cut that is used in mass on many trailers...

I have a 2021 wolf pup 16bhs with juice pack. The juice pack came with a 50 watt panel on roof and waree IP68 solar controller under bed. I recently purchased a 120 amp lifepo4 battery to replace the series 27 lead acid battery that came with camper. I understand from various posts on here and...

Pulled my new 5th wheel across the scales yesterday. Was surprised that the rear axle had 1000lbs more weight than the front. I think I’m a touch nose high, but not real noticeable….maybe 2 inches over a 38ft trailer. The axles are 5100lb rated. Front was 3660lbs and rear 4660. Only reason I...

We are new second hand owners of a 2016 Salem Hemisphere which we plan to leave at our FL RV park for six months each summer. We have one Dometic AC unit, with a basic thermostat which also controls the furnace (which we don't need). I would like to have more options, including a cooling...

My husband and I own a 2014 Wildwood DBUD and love it, but are looking to upgrade to a 2016 year model camper. The one we’re looking at has bunks as well. I feel that the bunks are wasted space now because my kids are grown but not married and my oldest has a camper of his own. We thought...

Best upgrade I've done yet. This is on my Force, but it would apply with any models that have a 24x14 sink opening. The two issues with the original was, 1) the bays in the two bay sink were too small to fit all but the smallest of post/pans, and, 2) the faucet arm does not extend far enough...

We switched out our batteries to LiFePo4, and like many have found out the hard way, the cheap ones do not have protection to keep them from charging when they are freezing, which will ruin them. Because of this I wanted a thermometer and something to disconnect them when they are below...

My RV came with the Cherokee Juice Pack solar package with one 50W solar panel. The dealer did however install 2 batteries for me to extend the life a little longer. I have done much research through forums, youtube, and articles online and am now more confused than every about solar. I am...

Here are some finished pictures of our upgrade to lithium, moved batteries to rear, installed new power center with lithium charger, prepped for portable solar and too much rewiring to count. Purchased two 100ah SOK LiFePo batteries, moved to rear of camper under the jackknife sofa. Replaced...

Will Forest River do this if you are not the original owner? I'm in the process of purchasing a 2011 Berkshire 390 BH and I don't know if it has or needs the upgrade. I have an NRVIA inspection scheduled for this Sunday. I live out of state so I won't be there for the inspection. I've...

Some of the upgrades that I have been working on. Removed the padded panel and replaced with a board to mount the inverter on. I know that isn't recommended but I couldn't think of any other way to fit it. Made up baskets to fit in the pantry. Not shown is the bungie cord restraints in...

Hello, I am interested in upgrading my flimsy OE jack. I have read the "top ten" list as well as a bunch of threads, but want some real world practical advice. I am not above overkill in making my decision. It seems like Husky is the go to. My hitch weight is in the 500lb range and the trailer...

My 2013 Georgetown dash mounted Clarion VX401 went blank on my last outing. Have any of you upgraded theirs? I saw that the screen can be replaced at low cost, but some of the screens are being shipped out of China, and I do not want to wait till June or whenever to get a replacement. I was...

Greetings, From my other thread on this forum...I was going to install the Progressive Dynamics PD9160ALV 12V converter/charger in the front pass through compartment however after some YouTubing I might go a different route... I am considering the "Victron MultiPlus Inverter/Charger 12V 3000w...

Just to show what can be done for modifications: Our '17 came with a pretty cheap 32" TV that was tied into the soundbar and wasn't all that great. Early on, we upgraded to a DVD/Blueray player and that helped a bit. Yesterday we upgraded to a 42" 4k Smart TV. The cabinet opening is 38...

Anyone attempt to replace their 3,500# axle (single) with a 5K# axle? Any advice and/or someone to take it to around LA area to look at mine? After two broken springs and replacing the tires every season due to "overloading" (translation: putting anything more than water in it, LOL) I'm done...

Well we pulled the trigger and upgrade our brakes to Electric Over Hydraulic (EOH) brakes with oil baths. Which means I never have to adjust another drum brake nor grease the axles. Well worth the money!! And the best part was installation was free!!! Video to be release in a couple of weeks at...

I’m going into the fifth year of my Castlerocks and hoping for some long trips this summer with the TT. Plan on buying 3 Goodyear Endurance. Likely via Amazon. Wolf Pup 16BHS, 3500# axle, current tires ST205/75R14. Axle was undersprung for a near 5” clearance gain. Is there any reason to go...

This is a question for those who opted for the Rockwood / GoPower 190W solar package that was included on many MY2021 units: The roof-mounted GoPower solar panel included a junction box to add a second panel to the system. Obviously, GoPower would like you to use their expansion pack, but I'm...

Has anyone with a Dynamax Force, DX3 or XL tried upgrading their stereo with a Stinger Heigh10 Stereo (or any other aftermarket stereo)? I really like the Stinger Heigh10 that's in my Jeep and would like to put one in our DX3. Their universal model (UN1810) looks like it should fit...

Not sure how much of this has been discussed in the forum before, but have any of you upgraded the number of extinguishers in your RV? Especially those with larger RV's? Where did you mount them for quick access? I've got a small, low-end extinguisher which I believe was outfitted by the...
