    Weekend Warrior closed

    For those with a weekend Warrior I read over at RV.net that they are out of buisness. :frown5: Sucks for those that have one. Warrenty will become a problem I'm sure.

    Finally Done!

    Looks good to me. Is that trailer loaded? I'd look at it again once you get all the gear in there. You'll be suprised how much clothes and food weigh. The things you want to keep in mind is to have both trailer axles to be loaded as equally as possible, that is the reason for trying to tow...

    Type of 5th Wheel Hitch

    I like my Reese 16K square tube slider but wish I had gone with the round tube one instaed. I read they don't have as much play. If you don't want or need a slider The B&W turnover ball 5th wheel plate is really nice and only leaves one hole and you can put a plug in that when not in use.

    We use that Coleman thing and it works great. We also bring an electric for when we have hook-ups.

    Slider hitch or not?

    5er's are like horsepower you always want more. If you have a family and as they grow the trailer kind of shrinks inside. I'd go for the 16K for the higher capacity and I think they are more popular thus might be easier to find and cheaper for the capacity. Oh, that other hitch I was...

    Slider hitch or not?

    I use my slider about 40% of backing up time. It puts the pin behind the axle wich makes the trailer act more like a bumper pull and it "comes around" quicker. I have the square tube Reese 16K, the only thing I did is shim it where it attaches to the rails. It tightens everything up and you get...

    Electir Brakes Frozen?

    You could crawl underneath and back off the adjusters, take it for a short ride using the BC to knock the corrosion off the drums and shoes then readjust. If not your going to have to pull them.

Go to http://www.dometicusa.com/recall.php and plug in your model & serial # . I'm leaving in two weeks for NC and now I...

    Vortec 6.0 ? Anybody have one before?

    I got 12MPG in and out of Boston, towing 6-7MPG :mad: The thing would wind up pretty good. I didn't like that too much being an old small block mechanic the 5.7's didn't wind up that high without something being added or blowing up. I should have chipped the 6.0 and got rid of that torque...
