Re: Outside satellite receptacle ?
Update, changed one of the two out today. The Satellite connector, and now I get a great picture once again. Tested here in the yard via my winegard automatic satellite dish. Now I will change the cable connector tomorrow, and seal back up. For now I temp. ordered some female caps for the ends270Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tow vehicle advice
I currently have an 08 Tundra 4X$ 5.7 dbl cab, that year w/ tow package shows 10,000 +/- tow capacity. We easily tow or 29RKSS Puma TT, unlaoded weight was about 6900, we easily haul lots of items, weight. So I'm sure we tip 9000 total lbs of TT plus cargo, peoeple etc. It tows excellent. My ? is now we are looking to sell both truck and TT sooner or later depending on deals. I have rad TONS of forums, charts GVW, GCWR, front & rear axle weight blah blah, tongue weight and since we will be going to a 5th whell king pin weight,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, My understanding gets so confusing when understanding what weight X truck will tow 5th wheel. So in general my ? is if I get a gas large V-8 5.7 or 6.o or equivelint in a 2500 truck, whatever brand, with tow package, just approximately what weight can I tow w/ a good hitch, or give me a few examples.......plz if it;s enough info there to do so? The 5th wheels we like are around 11-12K unloaded, 15-16K max w/ loads Just looking for an avg or safe bet safe zone... We have always stayed to where our max load tried to stay 1000Lbs under the max allowed for extra safety in the past hauls, Or give me an easy understanding chart. I can't g weigh a new truck and 5th wheel together for GCGW until I buy obviously. Most charts and forums vary & drive me wacko. Plus I rarely find the tongue weight or king pin weight when searching used 5th wheels online etc. I am leaning to a chevy 2500 gas or maybe duramax. I will stroll the forum tow topics as well Thx in advance414Views0likes0CommentsOutside satellite receptacle ?
on the outside of our Puma TT we have separate cable, satellite connectors. Neither work well anymore, we haven't had a cap on em in ages. I want to change just the connector thinkimg they may be badly corroded. There appears to be a little clip directly above the female connector on the outsdie of the RV connector plate. Can this be changed without having to unscrew the plate via the 3 screws? I am thinking I need a new connector and protective weather cap(s)... I have searched for videos, forums, but I see inside redo;s etc. Not the outside receptacle videos or inputs information. I am trying to avoid taking off the 3 screws and resealing, but will if need after this rain passes in a few days. Thanks in advance Kevin1.9KViews0likes7Comments
