Road Armor vs CRE3000
I am planning a 5K+ mile trip this summer and want to update the suspension on my Travel Trailer (see signature). The two systems that I am considering are the CRE300 and the Road Armor - along with wet bolts, bronze bushings, and HD shackles. I am looking for recommendations and information from those who have done these upgrades before I make the purchases. And, of course, any other suggestions. Thanks!

I'll check the batteries - I would hope that they are ok, it's been less than 6 weeks since they were installed. I'll check the dates on them as well. I didn't put a temp sensor in the freezer. The ice cubes and ice cream are frozen solid.2.2KViews0likes0CommentsFurrion 12 Volt Refrigerator Issues
We purchased a 2021 Grand Design Transcend 240ML with the Furrion 12 volt, 8 cubic foot, refrigerator and solar panel. This morning the refrigerator temperature was 43 degrees; the lowest temperature recorded was 39 degrees. When the compressor and fan run, it is annoyingly loud. The refrigerator was nearly full and had been running for 2 days. All temperatures were measured using a remote wireless sensor without opening and closing the door. In looking at the specs, Furrion lists the normal operating range as 32 to 50 degrees in the refrigerator compartment (https://furrion.com/products/8-cu-ft-furrion-arctic%C2%AE-12-volt-built-in-refrigerator). I understand that I should have done more research before I purchased this unit. It is reasonable to expect a refrigerator to operate within all food safety guidelines for refrigerators - that is that the maximum temperature be 40 degrees. On edit: We are in central Ohio where the temperature over the past few days has not been above the low 60's and the internal temperature of the camper has not been over 73 degrees. The refrigerator was set to its lowest (Maximum cool) position. What are your experiences with 12 volt refrigerrators?7.1KViews0likes8CommentsUpgrading Brakes Question
I have to replace the brakes on my 2017 Sierra 1500, Crew Cab, Standard Bed. I would like to upgrade to something better than OEM. The Powerstop Truck and Tow Performance pads and rotors (drilled and slotted) look good. Looking for advice from people who have used these or other performance brake pads and rotors. Will be heading for a four week trip to the western mountains this summer (not my first time doing this) and need excellent brakes.11KViews0likes69CommentsShort bed or standard bed?
I am going to purchase a new truck very soon and am trying to decide on a short bed or a standard bed Silverado 1500. The standard bed truck's wheelbase is about 10 inches longer. I'd really like to have the 6.2, but will probably go with the 5.3 because of cost. You can see what I tow in my signature line.10KViews0likes49Comments
