Re: Dexter EZ Lubes, use or not?
I had them on my last trailer which I had for seven years. Once a year I would jack each wheel and pump the grease in until the old grease showed up coming out. As I was doing it I would turn the wheel. About four years after I had the trailer I had them professionally done and the mechanic said they were in perfect condition, and then I continued to use the fittings until I sold the trailer. For what it is worth, that trailer made a 15,000 mile round trip to Alaska and back in one year, and in the other years, it probably accrued 3,000 miles each year.

Maintenance is the key; like in everything ! I do mine once a year and I wash and use a roof coating twice a year. My last trailer was seven years old when we sold it and it looked like new and every thing it was in perfect shape. The second person that looked at it bought it.

You would need to have that custom done. If you ask for it from the factory, the second would be a unit all by itself with the controls built into the overhead unit and the air just coming out of it. We just ordered and got a 37 footer with the second one as I describe above. Jack L461Views0likes0CommentsRe: Where should you dewinterize?
I always do it at the first camp ground I go to. When we get there I just change the water heater by pass valves, hook up to city water and turn it on. I leave the cold faucets closed and all the hot ones open. When the water heater tank is full, and the water runs clear out of the hot water faucets, I close them and open the colds one at a time until each runs clear, (it only takes a few seconds). then I flush the toilet. We never use the fresh water tank and we drink bottled spring water. This has worked for us for the past thirty years jack L477Views0likes0CommentsRe: Trouble unhooking
Same thing happened to me and then I found the solution. Just take the pin out of the hitch before you start raising the tongue jack. That releases the pressure, and allows the hitch to move that fraction of an inch needed and the ball will come right off as you raise it. Try it.
