Demco slider owners BEWARE!!!
Don't know if anyone has posted on this issue. Have a Demco Hijacker Autoslide that was bought new in May of 2014. I had about 3,000 mi. on it. A week ago I was moving the camper about 150 mi. when early on the trip I heard an odd noise when making a 90* turn. Didn't think a whole lot about it and continued onto the interstate. Realized I had a serious problem about 100 mi. down the road. The hitch was allowing travel back and forth as if I was in a turn. Except it was when I push the throttle or tapped the brakes. Pulled over and called Demco and was told I had a "failure" and they would have to get me a new hitch. I was not in an area where that would easily be done so I limped my way the last 15 mi. to my destination. I pulled the hitch out to look underneath to find the weld that holds the splined shaft that holds the entire hitch together had sheared and the shaft at that point could pull out which would result in my camper to no longer be attached to my truck. I spent quite a bit of time on the phone with Demco only to find out this has happened a "handful of times". They said these where hitches built in spring 2014. No recall, no notification. I urge anyone with one of these built around that time to be vigilant in checking the condition of this weld. You have to pull the hitch to see it from underneath. If in doubt call them and make them replace it! Your life or someone else's may depend on it.15KViews0likes30CommentsRe: Got plenty of Propane ?
If anyone believes there is a shortage of propane they only need to come to PA or OH and look around. This is a scheme that was cooked up by the oil and gas industry. There are 4 processing plants within 100 miles of my home that did not exist 5 years ago. Look into Mark West Corp. It is fabricated to produce the profits they desire. Don't believe the bull ****!582Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roll up tonneau covers
I have a Pace Edwards on my pick up. Have had it on two pickups actually. I don't have a hitch in my bed but the cover sits on top of the bed rails. If your handle is below the rails you should be OK. By the way, I love this cover. You can lock it up and not have to worry all the time about your contents.The canister does sit below and takes up about 14" of the front of the bed with probably 12" of space under.168Views0likes0Comments
