Re: Travel trailer warranties
The Bullet I have, while built pretty crappy, also has 3500# axles, but weighs 4800# so there is more of a cushion. It is crazy that they can use that weight axle on a 30 footer! GrandpaKip wrote: So, the “Grand Design” of this trailer puts 2 3500# axles under a 7500# gross weight trailer. That’s what is under my 6000# gross weight trailer. I agree, your trailer was built to an absolute minimum. What you are now paying for is what should have been there from the get go. As far as warranties, basically it comes down to an extra phone call or email. So that you get to be told no twice.585Views0likes0CommentsRe: Travel Trailer Rubber Roof Blew Off
You may end up just buying a ton of wide eternabond and cover the entire section that blew off. It shouldn't cost more then $500 for the rolls. It will seal, it will work, and it's on the roof that nobody can see. These trailers are made by the lowest wage employees without quality control. I almost wish they were made in mexico as the quality would probably be better.711Views0likes0CommentsRe: Generator / Invertor
Please see my thread in the tech section where I am successful running a 15k AC with a honda 2200i with the addition of a inexpensive supco cap. Not everyone needs a 150lb generator. librty02 wrote: Well 2000 Watts isn't much power at all. Great for running lights,the fridge, furnace, Micro, and water pump. Forget the AC and other things with only 2000 watts Heck I think my wife's hair dryer is 1800 watts alone. People really rave about the 3500 watt predator. Maybe give that one a try and you should be able to run the AC no problem with it.692Views0likes0CommentsRe: Honda 2200i and 15k AC
This is some great dialog. In my typical AC use, I am just grateful to get a little relief from the heat. I dont plan on ever running the AC for hours on end or even enough where it cycles on and off. Eco mode was just a quick test. In reality, I would keep eco mode off. In response to the other input about manufacturers including a soft start system from the factory, looking at my unit, that system is not present. All there is is a run capacitor. I was just completely surprised that the 2200i in combination with the supco had the ability to start and run a 15k unit in moderate heat at elevation.205Views0likes0CommentsHonda 2200i and 15k AC
I think the planets of Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn were aligned just perfectly or I am just incredibly lucky. 2018 Keystone Bullet with 15k Dometic AC and I installed an older SPP6E capacitor that I had laying around from a previous trailer. Just a simple 2 wire install taking about 10 min. Took the 2200i off eco mode, turned off all breaker in the trailer except the 20 amp AC so as to limit the load on the generator. Set the AC fan on low for a few minutes, then slowly started to drop the temp on the thermostat waiting to see what would happen. Boom! AC fired right up with the generator slowing down just for a second. Ran it for over an hour. After the AC was running for a few minutes, I put the generator on eco mode and it actually dropped several hundred rpm so that tells me it is not maxed out. For those of you who want to pick apart my success, I am at 4800 feet at 89 deg F outside temp. Throughout the day, I repeated this process 4-5 times and it worked 100% every time. Either the 2200i puts out more than advertised or my AC is a mislabeled 11k unit(not likely). Either way, I am incredibly happy!!!2.8KViews0likes21CommentsRe: Keystone Bullet Premier
Where did you get the track and curtain? How much did the materials cost? It looks like a great idea. gregrc75 wrote: RainbowsEnd wrote: 28RLPR - As promised, photos of the extra curtain we had installed. It's worked great for us. Has given more privacy in the hallway area, great for changing room. The curtain doesn't get in the way of the corner cabinet or the rear door. Even if the door is open to let air flow through the TT, the curtain hasn't been a problem. I do have handy a tie for the curtain to keep it secure but haven't ever needed it. Extra Curtain Track Very nice, great idea!258Views0likes0Comments
