    Thor hits $14 billion backlog

    I know we all know this but it’s profit. The almighty dollar takes priority. I live in RV nation and are friends with quite a few guys who work there. When building 16+ units a day quality is out.

    AC unit freezing up

    Has the same thing to me a couple years ago. Talked to an old timer and he said in the summer if you try and run them on anything other then high they will ice up. I was running it on low at the time. Cranked it up and two campers later no problems. We are currently camping in the high 80’s and...

    Upgrading Portable Waste Tote, Suggestions??

    I currently have a Therford 35 gal smart tote 2 waste tank with the 2 wheels. Let’s just say it sucks!!!! Looking to upgrade for a 4 wheel unit. Looking at the Camco Rhino 36 galling 4 wheeler or the Barker 42 gallon 4 wheeler. Anybody have any experience with either one of these?

    Which adjustable hitch are you running?

    Maybe my terms are mixed up. The hitch that bolts to the frame is a class IV 2” and rated for 10,000 pounds and 12,000 pounds with a WDH. The current adjustable receiver I have is only rated for 5,000 pounds. I have done more exploring since I first posted. I was set on a weigh safe 180...

    Which adjustable hitch are you running?

    I know this is a matter of opinion however I know there are a ton of guys who tow on here and there are a ton of options out there. Which one float to the top of you know what I mean? I have been pulling my construction cargo trailer with a steel Reese adjustable hitch for quite a few years...

    Can?t afford a new hitch setup currently. Will this work?

    I appreciate your guys feed back. I agree 100% that keeping the peace is second place. I would like to do a trial run on local highways to see how it does before leaving. But ifs it?s not good I will take the F-250.  I hope the Armada can handle it gracefully however I do have my doubts. But...

    Can?t afford a new hitch setup currently. Will this work?

    I will try and give you the cliff notes of the story. We had a 21? double axle pull behind trailer that I used to pull with my F-250 diesel with the standard 10,000 pound weight distribution hitch and friction sway bar setup. Pulled no problem.  My wife has had some recent health problems and...

    Gas water heater issues staying lit

    I will have to find out what model it is and find out how to adjust the pilot lite. I told my mom and dad we would just get them a elec/gas unit. But didn?t realize I could buy one for my house cheaper.

    Gas water heater issues staying lit

    I can?t remember the model but I feel like this is a generic question anyways.  On my mom and dads camper they have a gas only water heater.  I can get it to lit after some effort and it will turn on for a while but then the pilot light will go out.  It will not stay running for any length of...

    Reese or Equalizer?

    Calling all those that have applied Liquid RV Roof.

    Thank everyone for all there answers. I was going to order but I then read that it needed to sit for 4/5 days before moving. By the time it would have shipped here and then applied I wouldn?t have that time before leaving for the trip. So I will be shooting to get this done before the trip in...

    Calling all those that have applied Liquid RV Roof.

    I need to reseal my EPDM roof due to cracking. According to there website I need 3 gallons for my 17? trailer. However when I figure up the square feet I get 3.2 gal. For those that have used the product does the subtracting of the vent covers, A/C unit, etc make up for the .2 that I am figuring...
