Re: Broke a leaf spring. Shop says I should instal bigger ones?
Sounds like you have a weight problem. Take your rig to a public scale (found at many truck stops) and have it weighed. Make sure it’s loaded with all the gear you would have for a long trip. Compair this to the rating found on the manufacturer’s tag. It will be $15 well spent!!!

Re: Pulling a 30' 5th wheel
The cons of having a dulley are parking, it won't go through a car wash and you have 2 more tires to buy when it is time to replace them.

Re: Blew out back RH window with my camper tonight,,,, Confused
in a tight turn going forward the top of the trailer will have a tendency to tip toward the cab of the truck due to torsional stress. And it appears that is what happened in this case.

Re: How to locate leak location ?
Marker light mounting is an often overlooked source of leaks. water enters behind the light and can run inside the walls and under the roofing and show up anywhere inside the rig.

Re: Why does my rig jiggle?
I have tried all the mentioned devices. Save your money and go directly to the JT strong arm! They all work some but the JT strong arm is better than all the rest combined. good luck and happy camping.

Re: Please help with headlight problem
sounds like a chassis ground problem. check the ground from the battery to the body and from the engine to the body of the RV. I am willing to bet you have a u-joint going out as well.

Re: J.T. Strongarms....good/bad?
I spent more than the cost of the JTs on other types of stabilizers and the JTs out perform them all I would not own a 5er without them. A good investment.
