Long bed or short bed?

I've decide to upgrade my truck again. When I bought this truck, I assumed I had to get a long bed to tow my trailer, to aid in turning radius when backing. Now, I'm not so sure and thought others...

Problem Solved

After removing the surge protector and reconnecting power, I realized the heat pump was left on from our last outing, overloading the 15A house circuit. I turned the heat pump off, reinstalled the...

The hard wired 50 amp. I had considered the portable version, however, being new using a surge protector, I didn't want to stress about it walking off. Having now gone camping in a lot of different...

Problem remains

Replaced the hot water tank heating element, so that's a non-issue now. Checked power readings with my meter into the surge protector box. All lines are reading 124.2 +/- .2v. The surge protector...

I have a new element on order. Should be here tomorrow. I thought that might be the issue, but that went out the first day and we were camping for three more days after that. I'd count my blessings...

New Electrical Issue

When we bought our unit (3810MS) four years ago, I immediately installed a hardwired surge protector. We park it in the back yard when not in use and it's plugged in (15 amp) when not in use. I've...

Thanks So Much

Ceiling Vent Fan

On our last outing, I noticed the ceiling kitchen vent fan was slow to open. I sprayed some silicone and it didn't help. Is it doing a slow death or is there some sort of repair I can do? The fan...

Had my wife work the controls so I could get a better look at the situation. As the trailer is being lowered the links that the wet bolts go through, pivot, thus making the loud bang. Is this normal?...
