Re: Using pourable epoxy on floor soft spots
Here is the sitcky point. The awning mount points are not accessible without removing interior panels. There is no way to inspect or maintain them. If they leak the only way you know is that the floor gets soft. I have reached out to the dealer and to the manufacture to see if I can get any help.1.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Using pourable epoxy on floor soft spots
Even though the unit is a 2021, it was purchased in 2020 and is out of warranty. I have contacted the manufactured several times and they are not getting back to me. The soft spots are not numerous - and I know the proper repair is to cut out the osb and repair it. Given that I only have a few spots - I thought I might get away with an epoxy repair. Given the location of the spots - its really going to take some work to replace the wood where the issues are. The door will have to come out - amongst some other furniture and wall panels.1.8KViews0likes0CommentsMattress Reccomendations
Looking for a Short Queen. See offerings from Linenspa and Zinus on Amazon - anyone have experiences with either? Currently have the factory 6" foam unit in our trailer and its woefully inadequate. Don't want to break the bank - but need something better. Thanks !3.8KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Trailer Brakes Shorting Out - Controller shows overload
I started by cutting the power wire to the passenger side front axle, no change. Then cut the drivers side - an no more short. I reconnected the passenger side and have three drums running without issue. I can only assume at this point that the magnet in one axle is causing the problem. Unless - just removing one wheel caused enough of a current drop not to trigger the overload.1.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Trailer Brakes Shorting Out - Controller shows overload
The trailer has two 3500lb axles with 10" drum brakes on each wheel. Yes the wires run through the axle tubes. Here is what I have done as far as diagnosis so far. 1. Had son max out the controller manually to 11 on the meter. I shook, moved touched all the wires and no shorts were shown. The problem only shows up when the trailer is in motion. 2. I pulled all the drums off, checked wires and once again had son put power to the system while I moved the brake arm. No short found. Wires looked ok. The trailer only has maybe 1500-2000 miles on it - so I thought about the inside the axle tube chafing issue - but my dealer warned me about the warranty issues if I started cutting wires. I don't think the issue is with the car or the controller, hooked the trailer up to another truck and it did the same thing. It felt different almost like a chug-chug-chug as the brakes were being applied. The biggest issue I have is that the short only shows when the trailer is moving. Only way I can think to narrow it down is to start cutting or disconnecting wires and narrow down where the issue lies.1.7KViews0likes0CommentsTrailer Brakes Shorting Out - Controller shows overload
We have a two month old Riverside Retro that has maybe 2000 miles on it. I am starting to get an overload message on my Tekonsha P2 controller. I hooked up another truck with a factory controller and it gave me a "short" message. There is definitely a short some place in the trailer brake wiring. I pulled all four drums and inspected the wiring, everything looks ok. Nothing jumped out as being a problem. The trailer is still under warranty - but we have trips planned and the dealer is backed up. Thoughts on how to track down the short with minimal work ( the more I rip into it the more I risk violating the warranty? I can only duplicate the condition while the trailer is moving - which makes it even tougher to find.4.2KViews0likes10Comments
