Re: Am I going to regret my decision?
you will love it! the only thing I want to change on my 13 ecoboost is the crappy P tires for LT tires. I had a 2010 f350 6.7 also and tow a 29ft sunnybrook harmony. tows and stops with no issue, if people think that's not enough power for towing they need to try one out!198Views0likes0CommentsRe: axle/tire problems
Mfg will do nothing, take the trailer to a good trailer shop in your area and they can align your axles for you, I just went through this over the summer. it was about 400 for a 2axle trailer and they set toe and caster as well as align to each other and the tongue. mfg will tell you you must have hit something so its not covered!!314Views0likes0CommentsRV trailer 2 different battries ok?
Trailer has one size 24 interstate deep cycle rv/marine with 600 CCA and I want to add another battery exide size 24 deep cycle marine/rv with 500 CCA is it a bad idea to mix these two or should I spend the extra money and get its "mate" ? thank you!!1.1KViews0likes6CommentsRe: First time travel trailer buyers - list of particulars :)
Make sure the axles are in perfect alignment as a condition of the sale, as soon as you take delivery if you find out your having a issue it will become your issue as they will tell you that you must have hit something and they wont warranty it... I found out the hard way, lippert mfg wont stand behind there product. just a heads up371Views0likes0CommentsRe: Water heater plug
I installed a 1/2"npt boiler drain ball valve with a small round lever/knob from menards, I had to remove the lever to get it installed but It works good and I don't have to mess with the plastic plug....but chase threads first... makes it very easy to drain every time.258Views0likes0CommentsRe: trailer being pushed around by wind
Thank you for all the thoughts/info I think I discovered another issue I need to solve first before doing more with the hitch setup. since I got the trailer 1 year ago I have noticed that one tire was almost shot after approx 1500 miles last year so this spring I swaped it for the new spare and I have only taken 2 trips this year for a total of 450 miles and can see the new tire is already starting to get chopped!! with the trailer sitting level and no side pressure from turning on either axle I put a straight edge across both tires from front to back on both sides and one side is right on and the other side with bad tire I hit 3 of the tire walls but the one that is wearing funny seems to be toed in 1/4 to 3/8 of a inch! I know people are going to say this is the wrong way to do it but it gives me a pretty good idea that I have a axel issue, which leads to the next questions. could a axel alignment problem cause the trailer to slightly dart back and forth causing the condition I explained in my original post? also has anyone tried to warranty anything like this through lippert? my dealer a couple months ago when I brought up my tire issue said they don't warranty axles because they don't know if you hit anything....any thoughts? thank you460Views0likes0Commentstrailer being pushed around by wind
Have a 29ft sunnybrook harmony and tow it with a 2013 F150 ecoboost with the tow max package camper is approx. 7500lbs and tounge weight approx. 800. the hitch is the reese with the trunion bar 1200lb and dual cam sway control, I set it up per instructions but when driving in a fairly stiff cross wind it likes to I wouldn't say sway so to speak but gets pushed around a lot. the truck sits approx 1 inch less than when its unloaded and the trailer is very level. it requires constant driver input to keep it in a straight line. I filled the rear truck tires to the max {44psi} but it didn't help much. I almost feel the tires have too soft of a sidewall and may be part of the problem? im not sure what to try next im hoping someone has something for me to try..thank you for any help also my old truck was a 2011 f350 and with no sway hitch you could barely tell it was back there!6KViews0likes23Comments
