Re: Keeping Cool
Thanks for the reply's. Really trying to decide if it's worth buying a newer unit or not. We enjoy our spring and fall camping trips. Unfortunately our summer trips are miserable. It wouldn't be bad if we could go in and stay cool during the heat of the day. Was wondering if any of the newer units did any better job keeping it cool inside.366Views0likes0CommentsKeeping Cool
Do any of the RV's manage to keep you cool when the temperatures are at or above 100? Have an older 31' 5er with one roof top A/C, and an additional "portable A/C" in the front bedroom. I'd say at best they manage to drop the inside temperature about 10-12 degrees. Is this common for all RV's, or just the older ones?4.8KViews0likes29CommentsRe: 5er sways over 65mph
Thanks for the suggestions. Seems reasonable that it may be light on the pin weight. The Dodge sits a good 6" taller than my Chevy did, could make a difference on the pin weight. I'll have to check that when I get it out next spring. I also checked the Goodyear sight, they recommend adding an additional 10psi if towing between 66-75 mph.274Views0likes0Comments5er sways over 65mph
Have a 2014 Dodge 2500 Crew Cab 6.7L Diesel pulling a 32’ Thor 5er (dry weight 11500). New truck pulls great with plenty of power to spare. Only one problem, if I get over about 65 mph the rear of the trailer will start to noticeably sway. Can’t feel it in the truck, but you can see it in the mirrors. If I slow to below 60 mph it will stop. I replaced my tires this year with new Good Year ST225/75R15 load range E, and have them inflated to the recommended 55psi. With the trailer hooked up it sits fairly level, maybe a little down in the front. Any suggestions on stopping this, or is it normal? Not looking to do 90 but would like to maintain the speed limit.11KViews0likes35Comments
