RE: Camper Envy
Ya, when I had A POP-UP 4 kids, mother in law (a great one) plus a dog, things were simple but fun, guitar, canoe and no TV, as they become 17 - 18 yrs, said thinga like, "I really like you guys, but don't want to go a ny more" - Later when buying a big TT with all the good stuf, one of te first questions was "how manny does it sleep" My answer was "TWO" Aw but we had fun, camping is great.

RE: Space Saver hose?
Ive been using a 50' coil hose (safe for drinking) after a while it doen;t coil up verry good. So now I use a 30" length of 3/4" PVC and a bungie. Just drop it on he ground, un hook bunge, and hook up. When un hooking, just , scoop up hose with PVC put on the bungie and off I go, nice and easy.

RE: Wide Stance Axles Vs. Conventional
It is to make the TT ride better and spread out the wt. My first thought was they would cause the tire to wear faster by draging on turns, but all dual axels do that, and TT ST tires don't last that long so I bought the TT.

Is my "EQ" hitch too big - 12K bars on 750K (wet) TT
Bought a new Jayco WhiteHalwk TT with a 7,500 loaded weight rat. Down sized from my old 11K TT. My equlizer hitch has 12,000 bars. I also have a Rees hitch wih 8,000 and ,10,000 bars and sway ctl. I Towed new unit home (50mi w/wind, traffic, and trucks, with the 8K bars & sway ctl. it towed behind the F250 Screw V10 like it wasn't there (well not really)
When towing the old unit with the EQ and 12K bars trucks would sneak up beside me with out a sway.
Question is would the EQ with 12 K bars would be too much stress on the TT. I liked the equlizer hitch and then way it perormed when towing.

RE: getting in the bathroom with slide in .
Thats one thing I looked at when buying a new TT (Jayco Whitehwk-28) has a door that goes in to the ba th from outside, a nice layout that you can get to every part of the unit with slide in. However I"m not a fan of sitting or walking on the slide when the in. So when stoped for lunch etc I put it out a few ft. to level it off.

RE: Electric problem with 4 Wheel drive
30 amp fuse (heavyduty) has pwr on both sides, no power to switch on dash, transfer case is not shifting into gear. (drive shaft and axels not turning) looking at size of wireing on switch its not for 30 amps too small about 18 - 20 ga, must be a relay in system somewhere.

RE: Who has bought a Jayco White Hawk - opinion so far?
Just picked up 28 at the Boston show after a long look at it and other TT's in its class, even at 74yrs I wanted bunks (take grand kids a-lot) liked the double bed size bunk beds, and the interior. Storage in the 28 looked ok to me, big one in front outside with a small fridge in it, another outside in rear, a lot in side. Found couner space larger than others. The only thing I dident like was the bath rm sink was small, (will deal with that) got show price down -$500 to 23,500 Traded my big and heavy Sprinter.

???? Tranny fluid in radiator
Heater started to blow cold air, radiator tank was full of brown muck, loolked like hot fuge, flushed all out, put in nw anti-freeze heat was fine. But now there is about 1/2" of brown stuf on top of rad. fluid. I'm guessing since oil floats to top of water its oil from trans. and I need a new radiator. anyone ever have this.
Its a 2003 F250 V-10 150, mi.

RE: Exterior Ladder Install
In GA when the morning dew is on, watch as it dryes on TT and you will see where the stud framing is, mark it with a marker. I"d also check with the mfg.
In my op I find it hard to climb thoes ladders, unless your a monkey.

RE: Slide goes verry slow pushing button, but fast with remote.
Thanks for info., I have all the switches puled off, and startrd testing contacts. Another question is trying to swap the switch from the other slide and see if it works any better. All the wireing and contacts look good. I'll check reistance first.

JIMNLIN, thanks for info, now I know what I'll go for. I always wondered why the truck could run on LT's and they put ST on TT. Probably going that route this spring.
