US Gear Braking system

I have a problem with my US Gear Braking system, when I hook it up I get no green light at the control. I went through all the steps to check the wireing and found all to be OK . So I guess it must be the control in the motor home. I checked and f...

I'm not trying to start trouble, I did see a post about the mod being a dictator but wasn't able to read anything in it as all posts were deleted. However,I'm sure there were topics that I had wondered about the last few weeks myself. Perhaps this ha...

CAMCO EAZ-LIFT

I have a 2008 Keystone Passport that has the axles flipped so it sits a little bit higher than normal. My question is I recently purchased a EAZ-LIFT weight distribution hitch for my 2010 RAM 2500. I set up the hitch and bars but am only able to cl...

I wanna be COOL!!

Just bought a new 2013 30' Puma and while the AC does a pretty darn good job it does tend to get a little warmer inside more so than what I like (pushing 80 on a really hot humid 90+ degree day with no shade). Has anyone had any success with one of t...

Nationwide requirement for CDL when driving/towing over 10k?

Heard a rumor today from an RV dealer that legislation is coming that will require a CDL (Nationwide) when driving or towing anything over 10,000 lbs. Seems like just a rumor to me but don't put anything past our 'leaders' in Washington.

No need to switch load ratings for ST tires?

I'm getting a "new to me" 2012 Koala 21CS tomorrow. It has Goodyear Marathon ST205/75R14 C tires. I know a lot of folks are either wanting to go up in tire size, or at least in load rating. I understand it usually due to the small margin between t...
