small crack in sidewall
While adjusting my cables on the slides, I noticed approximately a 3 inch crack in the fiberglass near the bedroom slide lower corner. No other cracks anywhere and this looks like a scratch but it is not. I have checked everywhere I had access to including behind the facia board. Front compartment shuts fine, closet and drawers all work fine in the bedroom. I am leaning toward just normal flexing and not any broken welds. Since this crack is well behind where I would think it was the front end flexing and the crack is mostly horizonal with a slight downward arc I plan to keep an eye on it. Anyone had an issue similar to this? campinghoss 2017 3X 388 RKS MorRyde IS with disc brakes 2017 F-350 6.7 with hips Lucie our fur baby Lucky 9/15/2007 - 1/30/2023108Views0likes1CommentRe: tires
Stir Crazy the ones I am purchasing are BTR55st which is a 14 ply. It is true that the only difference is the tread design but I don't worry about that. With the amount of travelling we are doing I will want to replace them in 6 to 7 yrs anyway maybe sooner. Everyone talked about Westlakes not being a good tire but I have 20k on mine currently. The Westlakes are G rated which is what my fiver requires. I appreciate your comments.44Views0likes1CommentRe: tires
Yea I mean tire dealer. The tire dealer has a great shop and has good prices. A lot of fellows around here are running Blackhawks on their food trailers which some of them are heavy but not like my fiver. The G rated Westlakes have been great too with around 20k on them. I will probably go with Sailuns as a few bucks don't mean much when you have a breakdown on the road. I was just wondering if anyone had heard of the Blackhaws.85Views0likes4Commentstires
Replacing my Westlakes soon on my fiver. Looking at Sailun or Blackhawk. Blackhawks are made by Sailun. Not much difference in price but my tire dealer has the Blackhawks in stock. Wanted to go back with Westlake but my dealer will have to special order them. Anyone running Blackhawks on a heavy fiver out there?127Views0likes6CommentsRe: DeadWood
I appreciate all the suggestions. Avoiding the area during bike week is a big one for us. I expected August might have been crowded so we may have to settle for the month of September. I had rather be caught in snow than in a crowd. Of course there is always next June if push comes to shove. Thanks again.2.2KViews0likes0CommentsDeadWood
I know there will be varying thoughts on this but I am curious as to what cg's you like/dislike in the Deadwood SD area. We are spending three months on the Outer Banks this spring/early summer and then planning on another two to three months in this area. I am thinking of waiting until the Sturgis bike rally is over and kids are back in school before arriving. We want full hookups and don't care whether pull thru or back in.3KViews0likes18CommentsRe: Factory Tours
We are taking our fiver up to Elkhart the first of October to MorRyde. I have had enough worries with bent leafs and broke spring hangers. While they are installing the IS and disc brakes we had a factory tour planned for Brinkley. A few weeks ago we had the chance to inspect a new Brinkley toy hauler. While the inside looked nice we were not that impressed with the rest of the unit. I have cancelled our tour and we plan to spend the rest of our time sight seeing and museums. If you are interested in the new models of Brinkley they are still accepting dates for early October.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Help with Refrigerator Decision
I have had several different rv's and all but the one I have now was elec/propane. My current one has a 23 cubic foot Frigidaire in it and I will never go back to propane. My stays plugged in year round and since my batteries charge while hooked to the truck long distance travel has never been an issue. We don't boondock so that is not an issue either. However if we did need to boondock I could hook the pigtail up to the truck and keep the batteries charged. I never expect to do that though.993Views0likes0Comments
