2005 Durango 5.7l
I know it's not the ideal tow vehicle, but we have a camp planned and the 1996 Chevy C3500 has a bad oil leak from the oil pressure gauge. I've replaced it once, but don't know if I can get to it before we need to go. My camper is the one in my pic. It's a 23 ft, overall 25.5 ft hitch to bumper, travel trailer. Fully loaded it weighs 6000. According to trailer life towing guide the Durango has an 8700 tow rating. Other than wheel base is there any reason I can't use the Durango this time? Also, is the frame.if the Durango strong enough to handle weight distribution bars? Any help would be great.1.7KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Melting wires
I agree on the loose wires. I go through all the wires at the panel in my TT at the beginning of the year and tighten them just to make sure this does not happen. Might be a good practice for your preventative maintenance check list each year. Sorry to hear this has happened.488Views0likes0CommentsRe: Water lines are killing me
As for winterizing the trailer. I do both. I blow out all the lines and then put in antifreeze. I am thinking it is just age. The camper is a 98 and we have had it for 10 years and from what I can see the lines and even the pump are original. rbpru, sorry to hear you are having issues also. hope you can figure it out and get back at it.379Views0likes0CommentsWater lines are killing me
It has been a crazy weekend for water lines. First the pressure water inlet starts leaking. Fixed that. Second the coupler connecting the line from the fresh tank to the pump starts leaking and when. I try to take it off to see what's up the nipple on the pump shears off. New pump and fittings and we have water again. Now this morning getting ready to take a shower and I hear a loud pop and water rushing. The bypass valve for the water heater blew apart. Took off the winterizing kit and put the lines dirct to the water heater and now it is heating back up. What else can go wrong this weekend? We are living in the camper for the next month and I hope the madness stops. So my question is water got into the carpet under the bed, how do I dry it all out?2KViews0likes9Comments
