Re: Crossroads Las Vegas/Sonoma
My wife and I looked at the Las Vegas and really loved the bedroom. The biggest issue we had is we Walmart a lot when going places and the front bedroom is complete blocked off with the slides in. Our Vengeance 39R12 has been a great unit for us so far. Only issues in our first year was a badly leaking shower I fixed with some silicone, and the outside cable hook up doesn't work which I may never fix as I don't really use it.477Views0likes0CommentsRe: Power Management Panel standard on 50A configurations?
It seems to be very common in trailers with 3 air conditioners as even on 50 amps 3 air conditioners can be too much. If you don't have 3 air conditioners and are often plugged into 50A I don't think you should really need it.226Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tow Vehicle for 22,000 Pounds Plus
I have the 3.73's in my truck and I do like them but if I was doing it again I would probably get 4.10's. I just find it wants to go a little too fast on the highway when pulling, like 110-115 km/h. Drives nice there, feels great power wise, but it's not great on fuel and a little faster than I would prefer to tow 18000ish pounds.419Views0likes0CommentsRe: Trying to decide which toy hauler to buy.

How's the stability using a sliding 5th wheel on a short box, or am I better off with a long box dually? Thank You Again!!! I wanted to buy a mega cab dually but I couldn't find one anywhere. The biggest issue I saw was I would want an autoslider and none drop directly in to the ram 5th wheel prep (or they didn't a year ago when I was looking) and by the time you take a tall truck, add the picture frame adapter and then your hitch it can be difficult to adjust your trailer so it's not nose high. I read a lot of threads about people flipping their trailer axles which I would never want to get in to.404Views0likes0CommentsRe: ToyHaulers WITHOUT Walled Off Garage
The new Weekend Warrior makes a fairly large non seperated unit. Also keep in mind in most without the closed off garage you won't have the nice opposing slides for a huge living room, and will not gain as much space as you think you will. Mod Edit: Adjusted photo width. Please do not post photos that exceed 800 pixels wide. If you need any help just ask.198Views0likes0CommentsRe: Voltage 3970 Rear Canopy

I can't have a brand new 2016 trailer with old options on it... I'm very surprised that a 2016 Voltage would not have a power awning over the deck.291Views0likes0CommentsRe: Toy Hauler with kids question

As long as you have a power management system that will shut one off if your water heater or something else that is hard on power kicks on you should be good to go.306Views0likes0CommentsRe: Residential Fridge or Not?
One thing I didn't notice anyone else mention is the massive size advantage to the residential. For my trailer it was a 12 cubic ft RV fridge or a 23 cubic ft residential. With our old trailer I could never fit more than 5-6 beers or other drinks in the fridge because we needed the room for groceries. Now I can set several cases in there with room to spare. Ours has a round handle with a piece of threaded rod attached to hold it closed. The female end is glued to the fridge in the space between the doors and you just thread it in where all 3 doors meet and it holds it nice and tight. I would take a picture but it's put away for winter already.365Views0likes0Comments
