[With that old a rig be sure to deduct at least 10%, maybe even 15% from the table ratings.  Keep your trailer's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) to less than that number. I'm wondering why that statement. I've got a 1997 F350 CC 4x4 7.3 that's had the transmission built up stronger than...

Well I took the lines off and found nothing wrong. While I had it apart I turned on the pilot for a second and propane came out. Now it works so either the controller wasn't working or there was a lot of air in there (at camp I held the pilot open for a long time). Is there a way to purge the...

Hi Karl Yes the stove & furnace do work. The last camping trip was last August. I'll remove the tubes and see if their clear that will be easy enough. I know I couldn't even smell propane. Alan

Hi all This last weekend I went camping and found out I couldn't get the gas hot water heater control valve to let me light the pilot. I got no propane at all. I'm curious if these things can be rebuilt or if it's even recommended to do so. The information on the controller is this. White...

I have a Brake Smart and love it. I've not had anymore issues coming down the Sierra Nevada's with the trailer brakes locking up on one turn and not applying at all on another. My old controller was  most likely about 10 years old (not sure it came with the truck).On the last trip with that...

I don't know how heavy that set up was that I saw but depending on how many horses he had and whatever was in the cargo trailer he could have been over 26k lbs. As far as settling this once and for all I wasn't trying to cause any problems I was just curious. I only asked because I know this...

I've read where it's not legal here in California for a pickup to tow doubles. My question is, are the laws different for a fifth wheel than for a goose neck for towing doubles. Last night I was driving down highway 99 in central Calif. and there was a pickup towing a large horse trailer with an...

Can't offer any help on the hitch but I've been very happy with Brakesmart. It's very smooth I can't even feel it apply. But it is applying as I've come down the same grade with a Centennial controller that wasn't working and the trucks brakes were working hard at times. The Brakesmart is a...

Finally get to take it out this weekend for the first time sense  buying it. Do to rain and friends wedding. I've not had the chance to take it out. So I'm excited to go camping.

Great that's easy enough. Thank you for the replies. Alan

Hello all, hope all is going well for you. I've got a couple questions. 1st. Is it recommended to use a plastic lube plate or to lube the plate where the 5th wheel pin rides. If so it would seem to me that the plastic lube plate would certainly be less messy. Is a plastic lube plate as good as...

Hi there As I posted in a previous thread I was looking at a Terry TT and wound up buying a 5th wheel. Well tonight I drove it home.  All I've ever towed was TT and with my truck a 97 F350 CC 4x4 Powerstroke my truck rides like it's got 8 sided tires. When I would hook up my TT to the truck it...

Thank you for the reply's. My wife and I found a 95 Prowler 25ft Bunk House F-W this weekend that we really liked. So we're getting it. Kind of funny we weren't looking for a F-W but it is real clean and has all we could ask for in a trailer for our weekend camping trips. Which is mainly what we...

oops someone beat me to it. We'll keep looking.

Hello all My wife and I are thinking of going to check out this 2001 Terry 25BH. I've got a couple questions about this trailer. 1. Would you expect this to be a wood frame or metal frame & the same with the floor and roof? 2. I read where Carl had told a member here he should check the age...
