Re: Air ride pin box question

Click For Full-Size Image. Yes, like that, only some in some pics it looks even more tilted.649Views0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold N611 sudden AC issue

But then I decided to pull the AC cable and try it on an extension cord, and it immediately switched over to AC. Since the extension is plugged to the RV (fed from main panel), I'll assume this is a fridge outlet issue, and not AC ripple? But I was measuring good AC voltage going to the control board when it was plugged into the fridge outlet, so I'm a bit stumped. Trouble now is that they buried the fridge outlet box so high up, it's not accessible without removing the cooling unit. Seems easier to trace this fridge supply wire back to the panel, and just install some new romex and outlet box. Maybe check the breaker. Could be it's not letting enough amperage through. Thanks again for your help!722Views0likes0CommentsRe: Diesel to Gas Power Observation
Went from a 2015 Hemi to a 2020 Cummins. Tow a 14k toy hauler in the wind and mountains of Montana. Hemi made 11-14 mpg solo and 4-7 towing. Diesel makes 16-20 solo and 8-12 towing. Diesel levels the hills both up and down. Exhaust brake is awesome. Won't be going back to a gas to tow with any time soon.263Views0likes0CommentsRe: bpconversion goose neck conversion

If you are light now, how will you ever have the weight you need with the conversion? A fiver with too light pin weight is just as bad as a bumper pull. so the GN conversion would all but remove sway, That is not true in all cases. Twice I have pulled goose neck flat beds that had too light of tongue weight. Got plumb scary over about 50 mph, until we stopped and shifted some cargo forward. My point is that if too little tongue weight is your problem now, the goose neck conversion may not fix it. Start my knowing your current weights.345Views0likes0Comments
