We killed our van towing a popup, and the real issue is your braking, you will go through brakes faster then you can stop.

Thanks, after posting that, I began reading some other articles, and it appears that I am going to be limited to what I can haul with it. One site here: http://bamarv.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-calculate-your-real-towing.html Explains how to find towing capacity, 7700 for the truck - 10% =...

Hey all, Nice forum first to say, I haven't used this site much as I was in a popup but recently bought a Wildwood 28DBUD, it is 6184 pounds, with 1300 pounds cargo.  My vehicle is rated for 7700 pounds, I have a WDH, Husky brand. My question, will I be okay using this vehicle towing this...

I would call the manufacturer and ask them to help you, or search for that owner's manual and see if it list it.  I have called my manufacturer several times, I think they might know my number and not answer now!

Hi St2900 - If I was going to get them, get more then you need, as long as they can be installed properly and within your budget.  You will always find that you needed that 1 extra inch at some point. As far as where you need them...interesting question...where is the center of gravity...

Also check to see if you have a GFCI plug in the mix, perhaps it is tripped, after checking you have power going to the camper.

That was my point also....

I would put it around the opening, then replace the unit, then add a second bead of sealant around the flange with a caulk gun.

Update -  PROBLEM SOLVED!! I replaced the pilot assembly and it works now.  The other one was full of crud and allowed no gas to flow. Thanks all for your help.

Hi Matt - Welcome to the forum from a newbie also. Have you checked your circuit breakers to see if it is being tripped?  It sounds as possibly there is a grounding issue with a wire somewhere, perhaps one is over heating, losing contact in the breaker box, once it loses contact and cools...

I still get directed to the main page, even after a refresh. Got it, thanks.

If I remove the entire unit and blow it out, would that help with both issues? Thanks.

Thanks again.

Thanks Joel for your quick response, I will try blowing them out, however your links do not list a product, can you report? Thanks. BYD

Hello all - I have a Rockwood Freedom, it has a 6 gallon Surburban water heater with manual pilot light - that has to have the flame brought to the pilot. When I first got it, I lit the pilot light - no issues, it stayed lit and ignited the water heater as needed - now I can not for the life...
