Using Silicone for business

In the general construction, silicone is the go-to sealer, adhesive, because it sticks to about everything, and it has good flexibility. It is often the product of choice for tubs, sinks, showers,...

Update to almost lost a Tire - I did!

Took my tire in for repair, and the Chinese tire, Trailer King lived up to it's reputation. There was a pinhole in the sidewall, which can't be repaired, so the place had to replace the tire. The...

Almost lost a tire and changing a flat.

Went out for the long weekend on Thursday, and made a stop for one night to see family who are full-timers. Headed out the next day, and everything looked fine, so headed on to our final...

Fuel mileage and concern about running out

I was always concerned about running out too. And of course the biggest reason relates to pulling that 65' rig into a fuel station. I was going to call it a Service station until I realized the only...

We had the same issue, of course my first thought was like your, water pump bad - I had just filled the FW tank. Every other faucet worked fine, except the sink. Took the lines off the faucet,...

Trying times

You could almost argue that taking our/your RV would be social distancing. Technically, it's just me and the DW, just like we stayed at home so what's the difference, right?

Certainly you already...

Overall, it would seem the best answer to this is for someone to actually weigh the front and rear axles independently, raise the front of the fifthwheel 1", then 2" just to provide the corresponding...

Weight difference Minimal

Don't have a diesel, totally agree with the major difference being 'wind resistance'. With the Cougar hanging on, I get 8-9mpg generally. I also tow a UTV, which I haul on an aluminum trailer,...

Well, retired 4 years ago. Primarily, when working, I was a IT consultant and part-time Paramedic (hence the name!).

Airing up your tires

I have several air compressors ( I'm a contractor), and this is a good question. When I first start out for the year, I like JSMITH948, take my 6 gallon compressor to check and fill the tires for the...

Warranty work by non Keystone dealer

We faced a similar situation on a previous RV, where the closest authorized dealer was a 3+ hour trip away. Doing a little math, it doesn't take long to realize that at best towing my RV 6 hours...

Brakes locking up

On my 291RLS fifthwheel (about 8500 pounds) they'd definitely locked up.

I had to make a quick stop in traffic, and surprisingly my DW and I heard the tires squeal and and smelled the rubber,...

I purchased a new boat and trailer this week, and one of the options they were selling as a 'add-on' to the trailer was a Tire Protection Option. According to the finance person presenting this...

Furrion camera

Definitely get the observation system.

As others have said, the mounting of the camera, if the RV is prepared is real easy. Biggest issue I ran into is there is so much wire, it took most of my...

Washing and Waxing front of RV

What's worked well for my fifthwheel, is to back my truck up close to the RV and stand on the tailgate, and if to get higher spots put a 2x8 across the sides for the bed.

Changing from 30 Amp to 50 Amp RV Electrical Service

It can be done, just know it will cost about $400 to $500, if you buy a cheap converter (probably brand that is installed in your RV) and do it yourself.

You can buy a lot of propane to run...

It makes a great deal of sense, and not because people can't read. Getting signs and posting them is a pain, not to mention they break off, tear/rip, or just become unreadable in a few years. Paint...

It's been about four years ago, but at the time I went with the Curt Q16 (I think these models have changed some?), and it was about $600 at the time. The frames then we're about $400 or so, and...
