The fifth wheel started pulling to one side when I stepped on the brakes on the truck. I looked at the old wiring and one wire fell right out of a connector when I moved it. I decided to replace the -cross the axle wiring first. I figure on clamping ...
I am having an intermittent problem with the braking system from my 2000 Ford truck to my 2009 fifth wheel. The trailer pigtail has to be plugged in before the Pilot brand brake controller will show a red C otherwise it just shows a red dot. While to...
The front of the Apollo half time oven is black- maybe plastic. No matter what I clean it with it stays sticky and looks streaked and nasty. What should I be using to clean the front of the unit? Is there a magic cleaner for RV appliances?
Everything in our fifth wheel was built on top of the floor coverings. That is why the linoleum can't move with the expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes. So I had to replace the kitchen linoleum that split a couple of years ago and...
I searched on how to remove the decals off of the side of my fiberglass trailer. A lot of guys said to use Rapid Remover. So I sprayed some on and tried to scrape a decal off and that just causes scratches in the fiberglass and a ton of work. I foun...
It matters where you plan on wintering and how handy you are at rigging a fifth wheel up for winter use. Without taking proper precautions water will freeze no mater what kind of RV you have. Some campgrounds have heated water spigots and all you hav...
I still have one hot drum after taking the fifth wheel for a test run. I will add some more grease to that EZ Lube fitting and back that brake off a couple of clicks and recheck the wires. Maybe tighten the others a couple of clicks too. If that does...
I had problems with one hot drum on each side, two were over 250* and the other two were about 150* so I fixed the wiring to the brakes and then I jacked up one wheel at a time. I check for wobble and spun the wheel to make sure the bearings were oka...
Waiting for clamps to clamp the wiring to the axle, right now it is taped to the axle with duct tape. So I looked at a video about greasing EZ-Lube axles and ordered 4 tubes of high temperature grease. Makes sense to check for wobble in the wheels an...
I took the fifth wheel for a ride after I ran new wiring across the axles. It no longer pulls to one side when I stop. The wire that had pulled out of the connector didn't have any wire inside the insulator for about 3/4" back when I was stripping t...
