Dana is right they both go to the lug. FYI when our trailer was built I believe the bolt holding the lug on was over tightened on our trailer. Two years after we bought our trailer while traveling at sundown I noticed we had no lights on our trailer. The head of this screw was gone and the lug had fallen off. Of course it only took me two hours in the dark to find it and a vice grip solved the problem for the night.
We don't have our trailer at home, but I'm pretty sure that both of those combine on a ground lug attached to the side of the pin with a self tapping screw.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I really can't say enough for. The bedsaver and how cheap of insurance it can be. - whporwilExplorer

just look up on the curb side where the drains go through the floor and you can see the thickness. I would recemond toggle bolt just because of the bouncing around you will have when traveling
I would guess that it's maybe 1/2" or 5/8", but it should be easy enough for you to check. Remove the little screw to slide the access panel on the rear of your storage area. Look around where the elec panel is. There's a hole cut for a bunch of the wires to go through. You can check the thickness there. It's definately OSB though so I would think about through bolting your slide or getting another piece of scrap wood on the bottom to spread the load. - eaherrmannExplorerHoops, is your AC ducted?
- HoopsExplorerWe have the Designer Legacy (05) and have only one A/C. It works great and no need for a second one. Even when temps reached 98*, was able to keep inside temp at 75.
- CHV_FRKExplorerThat is awsome on the MPG... I wish there was a miracle program out there for mine.
On the a/c.... We have the same issue, but only in the back. We have both a/c's. I've had them check it out, but to no avail. At least we can stay cool in the bedroom! We've had it checked, but they say it's fine. I don't think so. Our front unit condenses like a mofo, but the rear only does sparingly. I'm just looking at buying a new rear unit to swap and see. At this point $550 seams cheap if I can get it cooler. If it's the same, I'll have an a/c for the enclosed car hauler I want to get. - eaherrmannExplorerWe get hum from the ceiling fan as well. Question to those with a single A/C unit. Are you able to stay comfortable in 95F+ ? It seems we can only be 8-10 degrees cooler than the outside temp. Today we hit 101 and even with all shades closed and thermopane windows we hovered right around 90 until the sun went down. Of course we purchased a lot with no tree coverage. Guess we'll put in another unit up in the front room but we wanted to know what other folks have been experiencing.
BTW, thank you for the photos of the underbelly with everything removed, we have the same leak with the tank sprayer and through your description I feel more confident I'll be able to do the fix myself.
Otherwise, still the best unit we've owned by far.
Side note to the Dodge 6.7 guys....I got the new flash done last month before our trip up north. I went from 7-8mpg to 12-13mpg towing and from 10mpg empty to 18mpg empty. - CHV_FRKExplorerWe don't have our trailer at home, but I'm pretty sure that both of those combine on a ground lug attached to the side of the pin with a self tapping screw.

Yesterday, I did something I swore i would never do. I did not see how anyone could ever drop their 5er on the truck bed, but I managed to do it. Anyway, tore the truck tailgate up, and bent the bed a bit. Here is the problem. There is a thin white wire, and a thick white wire coming out of the frame by the pin box. The thick one got pulled loose and mangled. Can anyone tell me where the end of it is supposed to be? It looks like it went to the ground lug on the frame near the pin box. I just wanted to be sure. I have an 09 35rlts. THX
- M_GO_BLUE1ExplorerConcerning the two 2010 models...I prefer the one with no windows in back...ever consider that the one with the pop-up TV in the back that you have to close the shades on the back windows to actually get a good look at what is on the TV?
- CHV_FRKExplorerThey are pretty close, but I think if you are careful, you could get something in there. You are basically over the grey water tank in that area. You might be able to get the rearward part of the slide over the valve area in my photos. That would be no problem to get toggles in.
