RE: Soaked floor...plumbing leak...ugh
The horse has already fled the barn, but its good practice when you leave the rig for any time, to turn off the pump (if using tank) or shut off outside source.

RE: how much does 2003 four winds express lite camper weigh
Length is not the issue, weight is. Inside one of your kitchen cabinets, there should be a spec sheet for your trailer. There should be a GVWR listing, which is what you can go by if you can't weigh it. Compare that to your truck spec's.

RE: refrigerator and battery questions
You will need a battery for the trailer to operate the emergency breakaway and also to operate most appliances, refrig, a/c, etc.

RE: Attic ventilation system
There must be different "method's" for attic construction. We have a '98 Champagne 38', with the "attic". There are 5 vents on the roof to ventilate the space. No magic.

RE: Attic ventilation system
Actually, my Citation Supreme 5th wheel has it installed. I'm just curious about what happens over there, in the attic. Most of us will never see the innards after a few years of being exposed to the elements.

Does your S&B have an attic that is exposed to the elements? Neither does your trailer.

RE: GelCoat Fading
The misinformation regarding gelcoat not being able to restore shine is absolutly wrong. I treated my '98 Champagne that spent 3 winters in Yuma where the nonstop sun degraded one side.
I applied NewGlass2 in April of this year and the result was as advertized. The dealer I usually use for service when I am in N. Texas, was amazed at the finish. You can see your reflection in the finish. He was impressed enough to order the product to detail their units.

Rent a ozone generator, run it for a couple of days, no odor.

RE: What is it? (photo included)
The "extra" axle is a TAG, used to prevent overloading the rear axle. Probably the rear slide is too much weight for stock chassis,

RE: A Collection of "Backing In" Tips.....
Here'n'there... yes that's correct. The reason I turn the wheel to the mirror that the trailer needs to disappear, its easier to have hands on the top of the wheel rather than the bottom (for me that is).

RE: A Collection of "Backing In" Tips.....
…. Looking at the left SV Mirror, if you want to see more of the trailer, turn the wheel to the left…etc.
Have to disagree with that statement. If you turn the wheel to the left the trailer will move right (disappear) from the left mirror.

RE: Looking for the Silver Bullet!
Ben, I use the mirror method also, HOWEVER, if you are looking in the right mirror and turn the wheel toward that mirror, the trailer will disappear, moving to the LEFT.

RE: Silverado 2500HD owners input wanted
Look at it this way, if you want to tow with relative ease, a 4:10 is the way to go. If you want a very SMALL increase in MPG, a 3:78 will give you that. There is no way to get the best of both worlds with one or the other. Lesson #1, RVing is a series of compromises.

RE: Cap Seal - How To
If you are referring to the seam between cap & roof, apply Eternabond tape instead of caulk and you are done from now on.

RE: Ford 6.4 owners
Consider this.. you are asking about MPG going from a 1/2 ton gas to a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel. Generally a heavier vehicle requires more fuel to move itself, regardless of anything its towing. This may seem harsh, but, if you are trying to get big truck capability with Prius economy, you will be disappointed.

RE: Newbies
10K will get you something 15 years old or thereabouts. Condition will be iffy. Begin looking at used for more educated decisions.
