I know that sounds crazy, but I have access to an older 2WD explorer. Its an automatic. I know I can't dolly it without taking the drive shaft off, but I was thinking I could just back onto the dolly? anyone done that? I did just also see that they make drive shaft disconnects for Explorers...

Looking for input as how to go about this. Thinking of add 200 watts of solar on the truck canopy to keep the lead acid truck battery fully charged and the other to run a 12 volt refrigeration in the bed of truck using a lithium battery and to supplement the Airstream lithium batteries via the...

I'm still seeking the easiest way to get the hitch out of my truck bed. Started this thread back in December: https://www.irv2.com/threads/using-king-pin-to-remove-hitch-from-truck.2179862/#post-23537342 I bought an engine hoist from Northern Tool, assembled it, and tried it today. No luck...

On our 2022 tiffin open road 34pa ,we stayed at a rv park with a slope I've never had to use more the maybe 2 level blocks with auto leveling . This time it took about 6" of blocks on drivers side! My question,is it ok on auto leveling to use manual feature ( which is what I always do) . I...

On my 2008 Beaver, I'm replacing the Magnum inverter and lead acid batteries with a Victron inverter and lithium batteries. Also adding some solar. What do I do with the Big Boy solenoid? Should it somehow be wired into the new system or removed? I think the lithium batteries could help dead...

I finally found a storage location that allows me to plug in with only 15amps. I realize it’s not much but perhaps better than nothing? If I plugin, I’m curious what shutoffs I should leave on? And what the settings should be on my magnum panel? I have four model AGM-GPL-L16 6v 400Ah house...

I've looked at Youtube and figured I could also ask the very helpful folks here. Unplug - Is there any other plug than the one coming out of the back of the camper? detach turnbuckles raise camper from truck bed drive out from beneath I'm thinking I should lower it some after removing it...

I have a Harbor Freight 3500 Predator that weighs about 100 lbs we use when Dry Camping. My wife is no longer able to help me lift that beast up into our 2020 F150 truck bed and back down again. I'm thinking about using a set of ramps to roll the unit up into the truck and back down by myself...

I am currently in the process of planning the electrical system in the 12ft 60s Shasta Compact trailer that I am restoring. I have two 15A circuits which I plan on wiring with 14 gauge. I was thinking of a dedicated circuit to an electric water heater, but chose a tankless propane instead. Now I...

I plan on removing the spare tire and storing under the bed. Do you think this toolbox would overload the rear bumper? Just plan on it sitting on it and being bolted. I probably need one 36 x 12 inches.

Has anyone removed the magnets used by fit2ride (or similar front window cover) from the inside of their front window? I emailed the company months ago, no response. They are held on by a pretty stout adhesive and I would prefer not to break the window.

I am trying to figure out the wiring of my 2025 17B. I want to isolate the converter after I install 8k of DC battery wattage so I can run the RV off a 4k inverter. My electrical control box has a DC fuse labeled for the fridge and a AC breaker labeled Converter and Fridge on the same breaker...

I am hoping to find a safe way to add an external propane tank to the factory installed tank on my 2019 Airstream Interstate. Is there a pre-made kit to make it possible. I don't want to have to, run to ACE Hardware store with a shopping list. If I go drydocking, I don't want to feel...

Researched at nauseum, putting house batteries in, read Magnum inverter manual several times. I know positive cable must come off first. I've read some disconnect positive at the post on inverter, some use the fuse between the batteries and the inverter. Wouldn't the easiest be to remove the...

I’m trying to level out my Adventurer 35F (first time) to set it up for our first trip. The spot where it’s stored is not very level at all. I need to build ramps to help level and keep the wheels on the ground, but wondered if I need two ramps for dual rear wheels, or would one ramp on one tire...

Got a crazy question! Anyone ever thought of putting batteries underneath the travel trailer? I was running new electrical wire in my 2026 Grand Design imagine 2920 BS, when I noticed how much space was beneath the foor of the RV but above the under skirting. I have about 10 in of vertical...

I would like to flat tow my 2008 Element. The owners manual for model years 2003 - 2006 stated flat towing is permitted; however that comment was removed beginning with 2007. It’s my understanding there was no change to the Element transmission and in fact the transmission is the same as the...

Anyone towed a 2023 Rockwell mini lite with a 2021 ford ranger tremor. And is it difficult to set up the equalizer hitch. Any comments are appreciated.
