I'm looking to get a spare for my 2021 E450 Class C as well. I didn't realize that the specs are different with the same part number. I had been considering getting 4 new Alcoa rims (2 front, 2 rear outer) and keeping the 2 rear steel inner. I saw a video saying why Ford had aluminum alloy rims on the outside, but steel inside because of the thicker aluminum rims. Having aluminum inner and outer would not have long enough wheel studs to hold. If I go this route and use my existing tires, I would then just need to get an additional tire for the spare on one of the 4 factory rims. The Alcoa rims run $1,199. Hello, I looked into the Alcoa wheels for my 2021 E450 and could not get a quote from Les Schwab, America's/Discount Tire, or any shop near Walnut/Diamond Bar. May I ask where you got your quote and did you get those Alcoa's yet? Thank you!1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Keystone Fuzion/Raptor locking gas tank caps

The Stant locking gas cap # for a Raptor 299 is 11501, appears the old part number is close to the one you ordered. Please do let us know if it works. Vented is the key issue. Threads from the Archives (over a year ago) click here The Stant 10501 locking gas caps fit perfectly on my Fuzion ECI factory fuel tank fill pipes for the generator and the fuel station. They are vented as well.628Views0likes0CommentsRe: Keystone Fuzion/Raptor locking gas tank caps
I believe it's a vented cap. I called Stant again and spoke with a different Tech who stated that they DO make the gas caps for ECI. He recommended their cap #10501. Ordered 2 of those from Amazon Prime and will receive them tomorrow. Will report back with success or lack thereof!629Views0likes0CommentsKeystone Fuzion/Raptor locking gas tank caps
I have a 2013 Keystone Fuzion equipped with 2 ECI Fuel Systems gasoline tanks. ECI lists locking fuel caps as Part #2404. They referred me to 2 RV parts distributors who quoted me $70.00 per cap. I'm not willing to pay that amount for locking fuel caps. I've called Stant and they said that they plan to offer them by the end of 2016. Called Gates who said Stant makes their fuel caps. Next call is Motorad, but I'm wondering if anyone on this forum may have already solved this issue. Thank you, Russ5.7KViews0likes11CommentsRe: What did you do to your Toy Hauler today???
Just hauled our trailer back from sitting on our property on the Central Coast for 2 months. Took everything out of the trailer and 'bug bombed' it. Cleaned everything with Clorox wipes. Blasted the black and gray tanks with liquid chlorine and water softener mixture. Cleaned the fridge so it looks and smells brand new. Hopefully it will rain this week as that will give me a head start on the exterior!418Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Toy Hauler today???

Which BBQ you using. I've screwed around with this so much it's silly. Couldn't get a decent flame if I came off after the regulator then tried tapping in in front of it and used a hose, still not satisfied. Now I carry an extra 5 gallon bottle and just use that with an adjustable regulator on by Weber Q. http://www.campchef.com/big-gas-grill-3.html I have not had an issue with propane flow, the burners work the same as having a bottle below the grill. It's a hot burnin' mutha!284Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Toy Hauler today???
Changed out the Al-Ko 6K axles that had flattened out with Dexter 7K axles. I had already upgraded to 16" 110 psi wheels and Michelin LTX Rib tires prior to the change. Welded in two 1" square .125 wall steel tubing pieces between the front spring hangars and the middle spring hangars for added stiffness. Plumbed in a quick-disconnect propane fitting on the outside frame just below and in front of the door. I'll have that BBQ hooked up and grillin' in no time now!300Views0likes0Comments
