RE: Questions about moving to a 2008 Jayco EXP232
I really don't think you will have any problems. We pull our '07 232 with our '06 F150 which will soon have 200,000km's on it.
Out tongue weight is almost 800lbs, heavier than I thought it should be, but it could have been weighed with the water tank full.
We use a 1000/10,000 Equal-i-zer hitch.
Enjoy.

RE: First trip to the scales - (confused)
bd - how are you getting 800? Just curious.
Thanks for reminding me to add the tongue weight! Guess I'll leave things alone. Happy with the numbers other than the Andersen not transferring more weight.
Total weight of your TV with your hitch loose minus total weight of your TV with no trailer hitched
So,
6620-5820=800 lbs

RE: Confused
What about the bolt under the hitch head that snugs it up. Maybe loose and the head tilts down when you add the bars?
Or the bolts that need to be torqued to rotate the bars into position. I check those every trip as they become loose too.

RE: prodigy P2 problem
I've had the exact same issues to a t!
NC stays on and won't go off after I'm done pulling the trailer, and disconnecting the brake cable. Last go round, I pulled the slider on the p2 to the left, and released, and that seemed to do the trick.
I've also had the exact same problem in relation to the wiring cable- dealer installed it, and didn't leave enough slack in the cable to pull the prodigy out of the cradle, and pop the tab to get the connector off.
I've tried various times to get it unplugged, all to no avail. As you well know, it slopes down in the back, so it's almost impossible to get some sort of tool down the front to pop the tab. Due to the slope, the tool can't even reach the tab.
Pray tell, how did you solve the issue?
I pulled and got enough slack to remove the P2 an inch or 2 but not enough to remove entirely from the holder. then I was able to get knife in there to pry the tab.

RE: prodigy P2 problem
I would start with the easiest as ScottG mention. Be sure the trailer connector is clean and dry. Then I would make sure all lights on the rear of the truck are working correctly. This will help you determine if there is an issue with the harness before crawling under the truck.
What happens with the truck in park and you manually activate the P2 by hand? Mine was acting up the other day after I removed the driver seat. It was showing -.-. flashing. I activated it manually and it has been normal ever since.
So some further diagnosis.
All the tail lights on the truck function properly.
When I manually activate the P2 with no trailer connected - no difference still shows n.c.
With the trailer connected, all parking lights, tail lights work. Didn't check the brake lights as I was by myself. When the P2 is manually activated --no change still shows n.c. When the brake pedal is depressed the P2 shows . .
Pins on the connector look clean.
I want to try and disconnect the power to the P2 but how the heck do I pull the plug out.
Thanks
Finally figured out how to un-plug the sucker. I didn't leave enough wire hanging to allow me to pull the P2 from the holder. But was able to get something down there to lift the tab.
After I plugged it back in, all of a sudden it works properly. Guess it just needed to get reset.

RE: prodigy P2 problem
On my prodigy n.c. means no connection.
I agree, but when there is no trailer connected, the n.c. should only stay on for 15 seconds, mine is currently staying on all the time. the double .. is supposed to replace the n.c. after 15 seconds, but the .. comes on only when I depress the brake pedal. It's worked fine for the last 5 years and is now acting up.
The mechanic was recently doing some work replacing the fuel pressure transmitter that is located in the spare tire well under the truck. Is the wiring harness going to that transmiter also connected to the lighting system and trailer connector?

prodigy P2 problem
I have tekonsha P2 and it's acting funny right now.
Without a trailer connected, the display is showing n.c. the entire time I am driving. When I apply the truck brakes, it displays . ., again no trailer connected.
Any help with diagnosing the problem?
Thanks

RE: trailer battery dies
Either install a battery switch you can turn off when the trailer is left, or disconnect the ground wire at the battery. Both work.
