Thanks
Thanks for the posts everyone. I'm going to give it a shot in the next few days and see what happens. That area is probably too high for the wife to reach, but well within mine. May have to keep my...

Empty area above microwave
Hi everyone,
In my Cougar there is an empty space above the microwave(in theory) where I could put a few things. What's the best way to "knock out" the piece of wood covering the opening? I'm...

These are the best ones I have found for the money. About $5 a piece, but as bright as stock with a nice warm tent. Reputable ebay seller too.

No problem
Steve,
I own a 2010 Silverado 1/2ton crew cab which will have nearly identical tow ratings to your 2013 GMC. I regularly tow a 2012 Cougar Xlite 29Rev that has a dry weight 1,100lbs higher than...

Cool
Where did you get the bulbs? How's the color? I've been thinking about doing this mod for a while, but I am not a fan of the cool blue LEDs I have seen so far.

Mount
Here is the mount I use. It locks in place so I don't have to worry about it.

My 2010 Chevy was the same way. The power wires that sent power to the brake controller and the 7-pin were zip tied to separate wiring harnesses. I had to cut them loose and then put them on the...

Yes
If you have the room for them, yes they will work given that you do not overload them. Seems like the limit for each was 1,500 lbs. So, in theory, your camper shouldn't weigh more than 6,000 lbs...

Common problem for some reason
I've read about this problem on several different forums. The only fix I've seen is 1) people will install a roller to the top of the door so it doesn't damage the awning or 2) they will retract the...

Hi Hank,
We don't put a lot of stuff in the camper honestly. I've often wondered how people put 1,000-1,500 lbs worth of stuff in their camper. Nothing wrong with it, we just don't have that much...
