I have a 2019 Phoenix Shasta 29 RLS. The hitch that came with the RV is too light/weak. I want to mount a tray that will carry my generator & fuel (100 lbs). Mine is rated at 150 lbs. I want 300 lbs so I’m not stressing anything. The mounts are already welded to the frame. etrailer has a...
I just purchased this camper. I did not get the owners manuals.
I have a couple questions.....The fresh water fill is the type where you attach a garden hose. I don't see a vent, How do I know when its full. I don't see a drain to drain the tank either. Then there is a blue line with a shut off...
We are buying a 2013 Sandpiper 356rl and I am installing a 5th wheel hitch in my 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with a 6.5 ft bed. My question is whether I need a sliding hitch or not. If I had the distance from the king pin to the nose of the camper I found a calculation to determine if you need a...
This drives me nuts and not sure if its the 5th wheel or the Sidewinder.
My previous truck I used the sidewinder locked to the A20. The wedge for it did not fully fit, ran out of thread before it could fully lock in, so it would move left and right at random and make towing a not so...
For 10 years we towed our RV with a 2013 F150 4x4 with a 5.0L. It was perfect level. We purchased a new 2022 F350 King Ranch 4x4 with 7.3L. This TV is taller, therefore, the front of the RV is now riding high. We have Dexter Torsion Axles that cannot be adjusted and Dexter technical support...
Our rig is a 2021 Cherokee Wolf Pack Fifth Wheel toy hauler.
Started having power issues 2 days ago. Opened 1 slide while at rest stop and couldn’t put it back in; had to close manually. Battery voltage was down to 3.9.
Bought a new battery and installed it. New battery voltage was at 11.8...
With my hitch set at lowest setting my departure angle is still terrible. I have come very close to tearing off rear lift jacks. I am thinking of adding 2" spacers to help with angle. The rear jacks can not be raised so this is my only option I can think of.
Trying to find correct spacers is...
What Grease is the best for repacking the wheel bearing ? Any Synthetic Grease ? Or..... I am hearing Mobil 1 or a Red tacky grease will do. Also what about using the E-Z lube to replace the grease ??
I have an A20 with new puck legs for the Ford system. When I first attached it, they were snug, with no play in them, but after our first trip which we are halfway through, they are all loose and very easy to turn, which also leads to scrunk noises and play when stopping and starting.
I...
I had our 2017 Isata 3 in storage over the winter; I wasn't able to access it during that time. I do disconnect the chassis battery when I drop it off and leave a note for the staff on how to reconnect the battery when they need to move it. When I went to pick it up the staff had moved it to a...
We're in process of trading up to a 2021 F-350 Super Duty short box. We have to get a different 5th wheel that has sliding capabilities and one that is compatible with the factory Ford 5th wheel mounts in truck bed.
What's the best bang for the buck. Obviously we don't want to spend any more...
I need help please. I am looking for the correct size wheel bearing kit (Timken) for my camper, its a 2003 Wildwood LE 26' BHSS. I try looking on the Axle for any markings but the paper with the info was nearly gone and unreadable.
I have two axles that are five lugs. GVWR is 7,680 lbs. Does...
Looking for feedback if installing wheel well liners https://a.co/d/7ZkVJJq to protect the underside of the slide outs over the wheels and prevent water from being forced through the single lip seal when driving in the rain? They are fairly light at about 20lbs and dimensionally would fit and...
We will soon be upgrading from a 30' Heartland toy hauler to a Riverstone 42 FSKG. This is a 45', triple axle 5th wheel. I have never drove a 5th wheel, so I have a couple basic questions you all might be able to comment on.
Not worried too much about pulling just about backing into a site.
No...
I've got 2 propane tanks on opposite sides of my trailer. Each has a regulator and eventually they cross connect under the trailer. I see no check valves so when changing out tanks, I shut off the full one when I remove the other to fill it. Has anyone converted the system to either install...
I just purchased my first 5th wheel which is a 2022 Sanibel 3102RSWB.
I will be towing this wiht a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Diesel 4dr crew cab High Country that has a standard bed (6'10").
On this camper, I have noticed that it has a very long pin box at a shallow sweepback angle and I...
I am thinking of getting an electric tongue jack (maybe a Husky HB4500) for my Rockwood 2022 2318ESP PUP. (It's hell getting old.)
If I do so, can I replace the jack plate with a single or dual WHEEL? So I can roll this around in my driveway.
Do the power jacks hold up to the lateral stress of...
I have a 2022 Rockwood Mini-Lite 2513S with 14 inch tires (Goodyear Endurance ST205 / 75R14). I was closely following directions to keep the lug nuts at the rated torque, when after many torque checks, one of the lug nuts deformed. It must be a case over the nut and the case wanted to stick to...
I'm hoping someone can I.D. this wheel. Just spent several hours googling and came up empty. I want one to mount my spare on since it (the spare) is currently mounted on a generic white steel rim - ugly.
Also, a new wheel would allow me to figure out which all steel valve stem I need for when...
This may be a weird question. From what I see, galvanized rims seem to be mostly used on boat trailers, but would they be bad for some reason or look dumb on a travel trailer? I would think they would have more corrosion resistance than painted wheels.
I've been looking for tire/wheel...
We have a 2019 RAM 3500 with the puck system and we're looking at
the B&W Companion and the Curt A25. We're towing a Riverstone 39RKFB so about 19K loaded.
Would anyone have a suggestion on a heavy duty hitch?
Thanks!
