RE: Disadvantages of flipping trailer axles?
If you flip the axles remember the brakes are now upside down. Won't make any difference in function but it sure looks funny when you service them.
RE: Do I need a better converter?
If it's a WFCO converter they're notorious for not going into bulk charging mode. I have 2 GC batteries and an IOTA-55 converter for faster charging off a generator.
RE: Schwintek (Lippert) Slideout Motors
I asked Grand Design this same question. Yes, you can go with 500:1 motors but you also need to upgrade to steel torque tubes instead of the aluminum ones.
RE: Some finally charged with catalytic converter theft
It's rampant just about everywhere.
Motorhomes parked in storage lots are particularly attractive targets.
Pickup trucks and vans since they're easier to crawl under.
RE: First RV Grand Design vs Keystone cougar
Four years ago we traded our Heartland on a Grand Design and never looked back. Earlier this summer we did a 42 night, 6,000 mile road trip in it.
RE: Wastewater Tote & Fresh Water Containers - Do you use them?
My "tote" is a 30 gallon plastic drum strapped in the truck bed. It's filled with a macerator pump and emptied by an 1-1/2" sump pump discharge hose and ball valve.
I have a 20 gallon fresh water tank on a stand also strapped in the bed. It's high enough that it gravity feeds into the trailer tank. I also have a 6 gallon jug.
