I did. Mine is attached to the wall back behind the inverter. The other thing that tells me it’s not there is that the under cabinet lights work fine. I’m hoping that I’ll find a loose negative wire...

I just ordered two of the 10A20281K-1AF gear boxes from Panther RV for about $40 each. Ordered Sunday, shipped out yesterday. I incorrectly ordered the 10A20281K-3AF model and need to send those...

Yes, I’m a full timer while my house is being rebuilt from a fire.

12v circuitry

Doug, did you ever get a chance to take pictures of your insulation?
We made it through the winter but $500 electric bills didn’t sit good. I tried to beat the system and just use electric heaters....

Been fulltiming in the 2017 Montana since mid-November while we rebuild from a house fire last summer. Winter was a challenge, but to be honest, not as hard as I thought it would be. Have a few...

I gotta agree with the thought of there’s not a lot of difference between 2 in the rear versus 4 when stopping. I hauled a 12k Gooseneck horse trailer with shortbed F250’s for years. Unless your rear...

I’m pulling with a mega cab with the puck system myself. I’ve pulled thousands of miles with a gooseneck but this is my first fifth wheel. After seeing the price of the sliders, I just went on...
