Re: not sure where to post this.....
There is a cart made to do just what you are asking for. It's called a Cricket" https://cricketminigolfcarts.com/cricket-golf-cart-models/. We had one and carried it in our 2500. It compacts for transport at 58" by 32" and weighs 330lbs + any accessories. They are very well made, use some standard parts. However, they can be a little tippy due to their narrow wheel base. They will carry 4 people and get around pretty quick. We found ours on Craigslist for $2400 and sold it latter for $2600.732Views0likes0CommentsRe: Problems with 7 Pin Connector
Just a word of advise. I replaced the 7 pin cord on one of my trailers with one that was molded together. After making the change, along with adding a connection box for easier repairs in the future, the lights wouldn't work. Thought I had screwed something up and looked for hours for the problem, knowing it couldn't be the cord/plug assembly as it was factory fresh. I finally put my multimeter to the plug and wire ends and discovered the the cord was wired totally wrong, with only the ground wire being correct. So my suggestion would be that if you change the entire plug/cord assembly, check the continuity between the wires and their correct pins as indicated in a wiring diagram. Oh, I went ahead and used the cord/plug I had, made a note on what wires went to the what prongs and put the note in the connection box for me for later reference.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Bathroom on the road?
One of the best things about towing (or driving) an RV is our ability to use our bathroom any time the need arises. As long as you can reach the bathroom w/o opening the slide you can use it any where you stop. Even when we stop for gas or resupply of snacks we use our own bathroom.160Views0likes0CommentsWhat is the little red LED light on the Tank Monitor Panel
I had occasion to remove the RV Tank Sensor Monitor Panel M25 | KIB from the wall and disconnect the wires. In doing so I discovered a tiny red LED light located between the electric and gas activator switches that had the initials "DSI" & "FLT" above and below it. After searching the owners manual for my trailer and the internet information web for monitor panel KIB, model M25 I found absolutely nothing. So in desperation I turn to you guys who know all. The panel is not TT/RV brand specific so the information is not specific to my TT alone. Unable to post a picture but you can find the panel here:https://www.amazon.com/Sensor-Monitor-Panel-Replacement-Holding/dp/B07XZGX6V9/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2JRNGD68WE23R&dchild=1&keywords=holding+tank+indicator&qid=1591932785&sprefix=holding+tank++indicator%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-6 Thank you in advance.2.8KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Electric black tank dump valve. Worth it?
I gather this subject is about "optional" electric drains on new RVs. However, I installed these "Barker Manufacturing Company 24140 1.5"and 3" Auto-Drains" on my TT to assist me in draining the tanks. The manual pull handles were positioned in a way as to cause me to bend in such a way as to cause me problems with my back and knees. I love them. And if they should malfunction, it is easy enough to manully override them. Would definitely recommend them and would install them again if the need arose.398Views0likes0CommentsRe: Large dog
We travel with 2 x 75 lb. Weimaraners. They love traveling with us. Yes, it can be a problem with potty breaks but I need one more than they do. Also, walking them is sometimes inconvenient to what I want to do, usually sleep. But we take them when we sight see or eat out, leaving them in the truck with the windows down and a water bowl. When we are going to want to do something where we cannot take them, we will have located a kennel for them and made reservations well in advance. That way we know what shots are required before we leave home. The dogs love staying at the kennel as we make sure they get "daycare" privileges to play with the other dogs. The pleasure and feeling of security we get having them with us far out weighs any inconvenience they may cause.799Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tongue Jack Issues
"Surprised so many don't want the remote with the Husky. My next one will have the remote so I can back up with my camera and drop the tongue on the ball without getting out of the truck. I typically hook up alone. When my wife helps, she does a great job, but she is often still doing stuff." This is exactly what I do. On a good day I only have to get out to close the latch. I did find, however, that it is sometimes difficult to tell when I was in position for the hook up because of the shadow behind the truck. So I painted the couplier and ball mount a florescent orange, problem solved.770Views0likes0Comments
