Re: HELP, I'm in a jam
Thank you for the fast and helpful responses. Everything else electrical is working fine, just lost the AC and microwave. We are finishing a late dinner now. When we get back I will check the GFI's, pull the breakers to examine, etc... If nothing works, I'll head over to Wally world to pick up an electrical prob and dig deeper306Views0likes0CommentsHELP, I'm in a jam
We arrived at Disney today . Set everything up in the pouring rain, no problems though. I had the AC running for a while when a heard it shut off. I didnt think anything of it, I thought it just reached temp. When I noticed the trailer getting warm I checked the AC and it wouldn't turn on. Checked the breakers and fuses, nothing tripped of blown. The only other odd thing I found was the microwave had no power eiither. I know it had been working earlier. There is no way they are on the sane circuit??. The TT is a 2012 keystone Laredo 291TG6.2KViews0likes24CommentsRe: First pull, test runhoo
Thanks for all the assistance fellas. I went to a Reese dealer today. They said to go back to square one and reset the hitch to my Expy from scratch. As for the tongue weight issue, I've been aware of that and have been trying to keep the heaviest stuff centered over the axles the best I can. My cousin (who I bought the trailer from) took the spare tire rack off the back in order to mount a bike rack. They needed a home for the spare tire so they put it under the bed up front. I've since taken it out of there thinking it was a bad idea to put that extra weight on the tongue. It really doesn't have a home at the moment. I'm going to leave it on the floor in the kitchen area for the road trip. Once we reach our destination and set up I will find somewhere else to keep it.404Views0likes0CommentsRe: First pull, test runhoo
The trailer is 6500lbs empty, add in the propane and other "stuff" and its probably about 7200 to 7300lbs. The Expy should be able to handle that. If the picture posted, you can see the nose it still up a bit. I was using the 5th link of the chain on the dual cam, should I up it to the 4th?404Views0likes0CommentsRe: First pull, test runhoo
The hitch was never set up for the F250. I bought the trailer off my cousin who also had an Expy. The dealer set the hitch up for her truck. When I bought the trailer she gave me the hitch with it. Her Expy is a '12, mine is a '07 virtually the same vehicle.404Views0likes0CommentsFirst pull, test runhoo
Hooked up the trailer to our expedition for the first time and did a 25 mile test run on the interstate. This is the first time I towed anything big with the Expy. I usually use my F250, HUGE difference. Towing a 30ft trailer with an Expy difinetly has a pucker factor. There was a bit of a bounce. I was able to maintain my lane, but that surge / bounce effect leaves me feeling uneasy. Is that normal when towing a TT with a half ton vehicle. The back of the truck saged a bit, and nose was up slightly. I know the expys always sag a bit, even with the WD hitch because of the independent rear suspension. Do I need to crank up the weight distribution bars by one more link on the chain? I'm on the 5th link now.3KViews0likes12CommentsRe: New owner with some questions
Thanks fellas, This morning I drained everything. I have the water tank full of the water bleach solution. I turned on the pump and opened the cold water spigot in the sink but injustice pushing air. There's a gargling sound like the pump can't prime itself. I'm lost at this point. Is there a valve I'm supposed to flip to go from city water to the tank?291Views0likes0Comments
