I use the rebook feature as well on our electric levelers. It always gets in the ballpark but I almost always have to adjust it slightly for a clean hook up.

In used trucks pricing is very subjective so, IMHO, getting a 1 ton of any of the big 3 OEM’s makes more sense than a 3/4 ton. To me a dually is always a good choice, but not always necessary. It’s...

Yes, it’s 50amp. I’m curious…why do you need to replace it? Like Daryles I had to remove and turn ours so the plug would hang strait down.

As stated, start with the truck and check the easiest things first. Your trailer is newer so I wouldn’t suspect brake wiring issues…especially if everything worked originally.

You don’t have to jump up to a dually to gain adequate payload over a 2012 2500. Just one year newer, and a 3500, would gain you a lot of payload over your current set up. Not a bigger truck, just...

This is a very good thing to check…regardless of the current state of the furnace. Make sure to have a standard blue 15a fuse in place.

That said, if the current issue is that we’re getting open...

You talking about the one under the overhang? They might, I don't really know since the magnets would have to hold the door up horizontally. It's possible but you'd have to do it to find out.
