Re: Towing with new pickup
My new F250 sits much higher because I used to be able to pull my 2005 F250 into my garage. I can't do that with my new truck. It may be because it has the off road package, which I didn't need, but it was on the truck and the truck was a great deal. Thanks, saronabound323Views0likes0CommentsRe: Towing with new pickup
I only see 2 TSB's for my 2012 F250. Neither has to do with 2" vs 4" lift. I would also like to know if swapping from the 4" lift to 2" affects payload. Also what about handling, right now with the 4" lift my truck sits level, if I drop it 2" in the back won't I be looking up now when in the driver seat, unless something is done in the front.

Ok, I found the PDF file for the converter. I followed the troubleshooting. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery. Plug in Shore power and check voltage at the battery cables. This turned out to be about 3v dc. So the converter is shot. I will buy a new one. Just the guts though. Thanks for all the input. saronabound938Views0likes0CommentsRe: Converter not charging, I don't think

I have a 2006 Keystone Laredo, 29RK, that I towed since new with a 2005 F250, PS, 6.0. That truck had 17" tires. I recently bought a new 2012 F250, with 20" tires, and it sits much higher. I think I need to adjust the king pin hitch on the 5er, raise it up so my 5er rides level. My question is this. I now will not have much clearance between my truck bed and the bottom of the 5er and worry about them touching. I have hooked up the 5er and I seemed to have more than the minimum 6" but that is before I adjust the king pin hitch. I think the only option I have is to put some sort of lift kit on my 5er, which I don't want to do, as it will make the 5er less stable. Does anyone out there pull a similar 5er, with an F250 with 20" tires. Any other suggestions. This has got me worried. saronabound3.5KViews0likes12CommentsConverter not charging, I don't think
I keep my 5er plugged in year round, so the dehumidifier runs. My original battery lasted 8 years, which is damn good for any battery and for a 5er kept in Florida. That battery recently died. I noticed the 12v lights were very dim,and my slide out would not slide in or out. I replaced the battery, and all seemed good. I went out there today and no lights whatsoever. I checked the new battery and it was at 3v. The only thing running 12v is the Propane detector, so it must have drained the new battery, which may be shot now. After putting on a battery charger, I was able to get lights. I don't recall hearing the Converter come on. I am getting 12v up to the converter from the battery. Is there any way to test the converter to see if it is good, or charging the battery. The converter is a World Friendship model WF-8935/45/55 ANP. Does anyone know if the converter has a master fuse, or circuit breaker. I don't see any circuit breakers on my 110V panel for the converter. Thank you, Saronabound4.5KViews0likes10Comments
