Re: Lazy Days RV

It was a $100,00 dollar Carrage bought new, Lazy Days did not do a thing for them. They do like to charge $150.00 per hour for what... Might I ask why you think Lazy Days is at fault????673Views0likes0CommentsRe: Wheel chock

Made me think twice about using them when on a steep slope. Gave the plastic ones away. Northern Tool has some nice rubber ones they run on sale for $5 every so often. I have 4. If you're worried about weight get a bigger truck.541Views0likes0CommentsRe: Just exploring my 5'th wheel thoughts!
Another thought on the AF 29-5. I notice it's a rear entry RV. The first time you park at a site that slopes to the rear of the RV you will discover a problem. When the RV is leveled the first step could be a couple of feet. Been there done that with another brand. Traded for a mid entry and a little longer.362Views0likes0CommentsRe: greasing wheels

I'm going to take an old washing machine motor, fabricate a base with rollers, driven by a belt/pulley system (to spin tire slowly). Then simply place roller against tire, power-up the motor,spin the tire, and commence "greasing". Before anyone calls "bull" on the system, I have several trailers with the EZ-Lube system! The "spin, grease, repeat" gets a little old! If that works for you that is great. But for me that is too much thinking, designing and work. Wheel bearing maintenance isn't rocket science. My prior trailer had EZ Lube and I didn't use it. Repacked the bearings, checked the brakes and repeated in 3 years. Each spring I raised the tires and checked end play and listened for unusual noise. Never had an issue and traded it off in 11 years with original parts and minimal labor. That's for 1 "one" trailer, he has several so a little engineering might be in order.362Views0likes0CommentsRe: stupid mistake

Did that first thing when I got a 5th wheel. The brand new OEM tailgate is in storage. BUT It's not a fix all. Under certain circumstances you can hit the notched tailgate. Believe me I've hit it both ways. Second time evened out the bow from the first time. HINT: When you un-hitch let the air out of the airbags before pulling out.743Views0likes0Comments
