Re: Dual Cam setup
Also it appears your chains are not vertical. This may have been caused by some slippage of your large u-bolt brackets thereby causing the cams to not be centered properly & thereby causing your sway issues. I have same system with the older style large u-bolts & I have to occasionally adjust do to slight slippage. After getting your cams centered, try to get chains as close to vertical as possible by adjusting lift-up brackets. Your propane tanks may be in way & some off-centeredness is OK. Others may know how much deflection is OK.369Views0likes0CommentsRe: any regrets with a longer TT?
I guess if loulou can tow with a TT & boat combo & few problems, then I should be OK. As far as need to go bigger, it's either that or go fulltiming without DW. She has been good sport for yrs with small bedrm & bath while camping on 1-2 wk excursions. But fulltiming, we both would like bigger bathrm shower, slideout bedrm, & large forward clothes closet like Cougar HC 321RES. I realize many are happy fulltiming in smaller, sometimes much smaller rigs, & to be sure there are advantages, but these responses have assured me that we should be OK. Thanks again.322Views0likes0CommentsRe: any regrets with a longer TT?
Not sure of the total length of rig. I tow with an 04 chevy express cargo van 3/4 ton 6L, so 5th wheel option is out. Perhaps my biggest concern will be backing into my inclined driveway - a hard 90 degree on narrow res. street. I already scrape slightly on sidewalk. Royb, I like the gas station-disconnect idea. Never thought of that option if one gets in a pickle. Duh!321Views0likes0CommentsRe: any regrets with a longer TT?
Thanks for all the responses. Since 1998 we have been part time campers approx. 3-4 weeks per yr. going all over eastern half of USA & will go full time or at least 6 mos./yr when wife retires in 2 yrs. We plan on going west & exploring. Up to this time with our 32 footer, we have run into a few navigating problems at gas stations & restaurants, especially busy restaurants whereby you turn into parking lot off of a busy street only to find an extremely difficult situation where we got out OK but afterwards wished we had chosen a different place. I realize 3 ft. longer is not a huge difference, but surely there is an upper "sweaty palm" limit. Perhaps everyone has his own comfort level.321Views0likes0Commentssprinter wide body
I am curious about the relativeley new keystone sprinter wide body tt & how they may have reduced the dry weight from 8520 lbs. on sprinter 299RET to 7935 lbs sprinter WB 299RET. The floorplans look identical & the WB is 4 in. wider in addition to 5 in. longer, yet is almost 600 lbs. lighter. Has anyone seen these TT or know how they may have saved almost 600 lbs. on a longer wider TT? I've checked the available options & std features & can't come up with any significant weight savings. I realize the rv industry trend has been "light weight" but sometimes lighter weight is also inferior construction & I'd hate to see sprinter go in that direction.1.6KViews0likes4Comments
