Anchors to use on fiberglass exterior
The stock exterior speakers on my 2019 TT are terrible. I plan to replace them with some 4" waterproof Pyle speakers with speaker pods. I'll cover/repair the original mounting holes and drill new holes for the speaker pods. What is the best anchor to use on the fiberglass exterior? Thinking butyl tape around the perimeter of the pods and then Lexel sealant to make it waterproof.1.1KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Recurve R3 vs Equalizer E2
OP here. Well....I hate winter because I have too much time to sit and think about stuff that I may or may not need! I found a one year old E4 hitch for $325 and will be installing it in the Spring! Will sell my E2 to help cover some of the upgrade cost. Probably not gonna help with the noise situation but should be an improvement in handling.643Views0likes0CommentsAndersen WD hitch thoughts?
Thinking about going to an Andersen WD hitch instead of my Equalizer E2. The hitch head is heavy, have to store the bars, etc. I've seen some issues with Andersen causing damage to the A-frame on TTs; the set screws being an issue; among other things. My TT is about 6,000# loaded with estimated 750# hitch weight. For those that have the Andersen, what are you experiences? Is it easy to use? Effective sway control? Any concerns or problems?3.1KViews0likes12CommentsRe: Do Some Travel Trailers Have Levelling Jacks?

My thoughts as well! TT frames seem to be the thinnest possible to reduce weight and allow for more vehicles to be used as TV's. Leveling jacks would test frame strength and probably not turn out well! Same reason adding a lot of weight to the rear bumper scares me.1.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Battery disconnect - switch or fuse?
OP here. Thanks for all the help! I've ordered a master cutoff switch and 20" 6 gauge battery cable. Plan to mount it on the outside of the battery box, under the box handle. I'll pull the 10A fuse and see if the slide works....did not consider that the slide might have its own fuse.830Views0likes0CommentsBattery disconnect - switch or fuse?
Looking to add a way to disconnect the battery on my 2019 Keystone Bullet 243BHS. There's a 6 gauge wire coming off the battery to a circuit breaker mounted on the frame, which leads to a second circuit breaker and then under the trailer enclosed by the coroplast. There is a second wire (12 gauge) from the positive side of the battery that has an inline 10A fuse and goes directly under the trailer. I pulled this fuse and can't find what it controls. Any ideas? The prewired rearview camera? The tongue jack is wired to the 2nd circuit breaker and has an inline 30A fuse. What's the best way to disconnect everything from the battery? Switch (any recommendations?) or inline fuse (40A with 6 gauge wire)?3.2KViews0likes11Comments
