Re: trying something new....heading to Florida in winter
We stay in Walmart lots otw down and back, 1 night each way. I've started the furnace a couple hours before we stop and it helped a little but it was pretty chilly inside still. Bring some extra blankets, maybe sleeping bags and I think you'll be fine. I now have a 5th wheel with a generator so we use electric space heaters along with the furnace and it warms up nicely. Have a good trip, I wish we were going south this winter.436Views0likes0CommentsRe: trying something new....heading to Florida in winter
I pulled our previous 5th wheel back from Florida to Michigan in a bad snow storm. It started with ice in Georgia. I think I was in 4wd most of the time and they closed I75 after we went through. Good luck. And, wash the under carriage of your trailer when you get home because it will be all rusty in the spring if you don't. I also replaced the kids bikes that were on the back of the 5th wheel from all the salt damage.437Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Toy Hauler today???
I believe I installed the EMS after the transfer switch to protect the trailer from both generator and shore power. The hardest part was working with the thick wire, #2 I think. The disc brake conversion can easily be done in a weekend. I ran the hard brake line along the passenger side on the outside of the frame and then up through the passenger side propane compartment and into the front compartment where I mounted the pump. You have to run new wire, #12 I believe, from the pin box back to the pump. I bought my kit from stop your trailer. The owner, Bill, is very helpful with any questions you may have. I had a couple for him.204Views0likes0Comments
