Re: Arctic Fox 5th wheel
fishhogg wrote: We have narrowed down our search to these two models. 29-5T or 32-5M does anybody here have one, and any thoughts. Thanks We don't either of those specific models, we are proud owners of 2013 27-5L, it is one solid unit. We did however convert to disc brakes and Sailun tires. As a side note, we went with the 27-5L for ease in tight parks and boondocking.344Views0likes0CommentsRe: Diesel Transfer pump issue

Has anyone had the same problem if so how do I stop fuel I would imagine fuel is gravity flowing thru the pump, with your pump you may need a solenoid valve in series with the pump. I considered a solenoid valve when I did my RDS however I just went with the gravity and it works great.222Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2016 Ford 250, 350 Super Duty

Purchased a 2016 crewcab, short box, powerstroke, 3.55 axle ratio, 18 inch wheels Lariat model 4x4. Towed with it first time on Saturday. It only had 600 miles on it but I was dissapointed in the fuel economy. With a 98 litre tank 250 miles will be tops. The exhaust brake does no more than shift down the tranny. I can not tell any difference if I shift down manually without the exhaust brake on or put the exhaust brake on and let the computer do its thing. Our 5th wheel weighs 10,600 lbs empty with a tounge weight of 2,300 lbs. Truck squats less about an inch with 5th wheel hooked up. We pulled 120 miles, no wind and mostly flat except one short hill on the freway. Not sure of the grade. Cruise will loose about 5 kmph going up a hill and gain same going down. Again, the biggest dissapointment is the combination fuel economy and small tank. Computer said 26.1 litres to 100 k.m. Not sure yet how accurate it is. I know it is new but I don't expect much of an improvement with miles. That is 9mpg(US gallon) Don't consider that bad at all. What did you think you were going to get? Just made 1400 (600 miles one way) mile round trip to the Black Hills, combined mileage was 10.3 mph. This truck is awesome.452Views0likes0CommentsRe: ? Auxiliary Fuel Tank "RDS"

It's been installed now for almost a year, made 3 trips between NC and FL with no problems. I used this valve: valve Could I ask why you chose a 1/4" ported valve? The RDS kit is 3/8" tubing and fittings. Did you support the valve or just let the hose carry the load? I have a new Ford SD with upfitter switches so wiring should be a piece of cake.248Views0likes0Comments
