    loading cam am spyder into toy hauler

    We had a Featherlite snowmobile trailer that had some rubber bumpers at the top that rested on the ground when the ramp was down. There was a folding flap like piece of plywood that you could fold down to contact the ground. This lessened the angle at the top so you wouldn't flop down so hard...

    I had one of those in my last trailer. My problem was there was a heat duct in the floor that blew up on the thermistor in the face of the AC unit.

    Best way to raise my 5er to match my truck bed?

There is someone down in Elkhart that makes a kit with the spring hangers already on the tubes, but I don't remember who it is. It's...

    Converter/charger

    That was my converter in the above link. The old one was an Attwood. It had the 2 resistors that got hot enough to discolor the board. The voltage in mine had gone up to 13.8 and damaged the battery. I'm not sure how long it was like that. I did as John said and installed a PD converter. Also...

    Best way to raise my 5er to match my truck bed?

    I'd give the people at http://www.morryde.com/ a call. They have dealt with this type issue for years and they are nice people. As for the blocks I wouldn't do that. It gives the side load on the brackets a lot more leverage. There is a tremendous side load when you turn on pavement. Stop...

    Water Filters (Florida)

    My last trailer didn't have an anode in the tank. I cleaned it out 2 or 3 times a year with a wand I made out of copper tubing. We only use it a couple times a year here in Mi. I'm going to call the water filter store and get his recommendation as the filters I've got at CW etc. don't seem to...

    Thor 5th Wheel - Production Change In Axle Mount

    I'd give Mor-Ryde http://www.morryde.com/ a call and discuss it with them. They are really nice people and are very familiar with this type problem. Being in Elkhart they deal with this a lot also.

    Bad converter?

    GFI outlets can be wired 2 ways. First so it only protects itself. The other way it protects itself and downstream outlets hooked in series with it.
