RE: Battey Questions
I have switched over to two 6V batterys and love them...alot longer run time.
X2.. Love the two 6Volts we put on our TT. Last longer. We rarely have hookups, but have been known to top them off with the generator about every 4 or 5 days.

RE: %#$&# salesman
I am sure that we all know someone on the road towing that should not be due to weights. I don't know what transpired during the young couple's purchase, but I wonder why everyone is always ready to jump on the dealer for the bad deal. I have some friends that no mater what I say and what others say tow way over their limit and when they hitch up the truck looks like it is ready to take off and head for the moon. I feel bad for the couple if their truck cant tow it, but do we know for a certain that the blame is all on the dealer. I have had some good dealers out my way and have talked to some that would sell you some beach front property is Ohio. Research is key and both the dealer and the buyer needs to be educated when big money and lives are on the line.
IMHO

RE: Jayco Jayflight 264Bh - Anode Rod
Hi,
So finally my water heater is an Atwood...so no anode rod. So will this reduce the life of my heater (as i plan to keep this TT for a long time)? Also is it possible to add one?
Thank you,
Martin
You will find many posts on this subject on the forum. Do not add an anode rod to this unit. The Atwood unit has an aluminum tank and does not need one. If you add one you run the risk of causing a reaction between the metal in the tank and on the screw in for the anode rod. The unit should last you many many years if you drain it regularly and keep the sediments from building up. I have had both the Atwood (no anode) and Suburban (with anode) and no problems with either.

RE: Driving with the frige on?
Always travel with it on. Just make sure to shut it off when you refuel your rig.

RE: Bathroom walls
I would use FRP panel or a tub surround kit. Available at Home Depot or Lowes.
x2
FRP Easy to cut and install. Just did a residential bathroom with this and works great.

RE: Rear suspension support for 2010 Dodge Ram 1500
I would first look into a good weight distribution kit. This will push some of the weight onto the front tires of the truck and help even out the ride. If this does not help then maybe looking at how heavy the TT is and then into airbags or timbrens.

RE: What have you done to silence your water pump?
I replaced the Pex line between the pump and the main water line with a flexible line and that seemed to help.
X2
We also added padding under the pump. Ours improved 100%. It still makes some noise, but we don't want all the noise gone because if we spring a leak it would be to late if the pump made no noticeable noise.

RE: Confusion about hitches
I also tow with a dually, Chevy c3500, and I am well within my towing limits. I use the WD mainly for tongue weight. I also use anti sway bars for piece of mind.

RE: Towing with a conversion van?
We also have a conversion van and we do tow with it, but only small light weight stuff. In our van, after the conversion there was a new weight sticker stuck on it in on the back doors. Our is a 2000 Dodge 1500 van and the new modified weight tells us we can tow no more then 5000 lbs. We have towed a popup and 4 wheeler and a small 25 foot TT that weighed no more then 4500 when loaded. Good luck and hope you find your answer.

RE: Newbie considering a Travel Trailer
My TT has a receiver on the back. I use it all the time to tow my little 8 foot trailer with my wheeler on it. When I am towing it I will not go any faster then 65. As far as the framing on the back of the TT, I would look into getting it beefed up a bit and make sure to mount the receiver to the frame and not the bumper. The bumper
may/will fall off.
2004 without brakes sounds fishy to me. Especially being a 24 footer.
Good luck with it all.

Is KIT still in business?
We have a KIT Road Ranger and I would like to find out if KIT is still in business. I would like to find out if I can get some diagrams for our unit. Does anyone know if they are still around?
