On our first big trip in our former diesel pusher towing our Honda Accord, we were westbound on I-70 in CO, headed down the western slow through Glenwood Canyon. I was keeping a good following distance and was slightly under the posted speed. Traffic was flowing smoothly, but we rounded a...

I am new to fifth wheels and I don't have any experience with Reese or Curt. After a lot of research, I went with a B&W Patriot slider. After two trips, I feel very confident in the solid construction and the hitching action of the B&W, but I'm sure everyone believes "their hitch" is the...

Neat! I've been away from the forum but I've always enjoyed your adventures in the past, particularly your UP trips. We're from Illinois but the UP is probably our favorite "close by" destination. Leaving next weekend for a week in the Keweenaw, which we've never been to before.

Something you might want to consider if you already need a new battery is to get a LiFePO4 battery and just replace the current questionable converter with a lithium-compatible converter. If you plan on ever doing any boondocking, I would go that route. (I actually probably will go that route...

Selling a NSA ReadyBrake complete braking system. I bought this a few years ago, but never installed it because the engine compartment in our toad was so tight that the install was going to require a little modification and I never got around to it. Now we’ve sold the coach and bought a fifth...

Oh yeah, that’s a park model. Looks nice. Edit: At least I would call it a park model, but I’m no expert.

Don, I thought about it, but it wasn’t really worth it to us. Our summer traveling was generally confined to one trip of 10-14 days each summer And maybe a couple weekends in the local area. My understanding was that dash air was a pretty common failure on older diesel pushers with that much...

Dash air never worked on our diesel pusher during the 10 years we owned it, so if we were traveling during the summer we always ran the genny while driving.

Hey Paul, just saw this thread. Beautiful photos! We love the UP, too. A couple questions: 1) What are your thoughts on Muskallonge Lake SP? I considered it when I was planning a UP trip for this summer. We've stayed a few different places in the UP, Tahquamenon Falls, Straits SP in St...

Let us know how it turns out. The HWH techs sometimes take a day or two to return calls, but they are very helpful. Also, not sure where you are in MO, but if you aren't successful in self-repair, you're not too far from the HWH factory in eastern IA. We are about an hour away, so when we had...

Welcome to the forum, BigE! It is true, as Tulecreeper says, you may want to start a new thread with your question. That said, I don't know that the owners manual for the trailer is going to be all that helpful. I just bought a 2016 Keystone Cougar fifth wheel and the owner's manual that came...

Y'all realize you're answering a five year old question, right?

Glad to hear you’re enjoying yours, Bill. Ours does have a second AC in the bedroom. No idea yet how it will perform in the summer heat. Although I hated how expensive it was to fix when it broke, I kind of miss the “basement air” in the old Itasca. The Cougar AC is pretty noisy. I think...

Oh, wow. We are just on the other side of the Mississippi in Illinois and I was clenching various body parts on Sunday when those storms passed through. We got a lot of hail, but only marble sized. I had mixed emotions, because I really need a new roof on my house, but was hoping for a way...

We also have a RAM 2500. Any idea at what PSI the TPMS starts going off?
