Adding stab Jack's
Hi all! I recently acquired a 2009 Flaggstaff 32' 2 slide outs, front kitchen rear bedroom, (actually closer to 35') from my Dad when he upgraded to a new Grand Design. It has 4 stab Jack's as expected. They are the long are type not the scissor style. The problem is the Jack's seem to loosen. Not settling as much as actually eeking up. I would go but them when my dad had the trailer and see them off the ground. I am planning on adding 4 scissor style Jack's and I'm looking for advice. I'm thinking forward and aft of the axles. But I could go to the far end of the frame. In the rest I could go between the bumper and the trailer body. Up front I could go farther forward than the factory installed ones also. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Keith555Views0likes1CommentRe: Easy Electrical Question Sunny Brook 2816
Thank you everyone for your responses! I tried all of your suggestions but no luck. I just called the small dealer that has worked on my trailer. The owner is always available to help. The converter is in the front coat closet and the DC wires (and AC) go directly into the floor. I have a battery disconnect in the medicine cabinet. The wires are not visible and I didn't put 2 & 2 together, just assumed it just a disconnect for the Bat. But it's in that box. So the suggestion for the bathroom was correct but I didn't look past my nose. Thank you again! Keith274Views0likes0CommentsEasy Electrical Question Sunny Brook 2816
I feel like an idiot....but I cannot find the DC fuses on my TT. I know where the DC Converter is. I know where the AC distribution center is...but have looked everywhere, (except where it is apparently) and cannot find it. Please help. LOL Thank you, Keith1.6KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Hensley Arrow - Really that hard to hookup?
My Dad has a Hensley on a 32' Rockwood. (TV 2012 Ford Expedition regular wheel base.) When I have unhooked it, (which is most of the time he tows since we go together), I take the weight off of the TV, by extending the tongue jack, as you would with a traditional WD hitch system. Then loosen the spring bars...but the key is to totally loosen them...to the point they start to get tight. (In the loosening direction AND by hand at that point.) I then drop the tongue of the trailer until the point that I just start to see a slight space at the top of the 2" receiver of the truck. You could actually get a very thin feeler gauge to check it, but I find I can do it by eye. Once you see the space just begin to appear..stop and pull the TV away. I have yet to have the sudden drop that was experienced before I started using this system. Hope this helps. Keith497Views0likes0Comments
