Re: Newbie (maybe) R23 - Need Advice - pictures

Dexter Axle (https://www.dexteraxle.com/) is a major supplier of suspension, bearing and brake components. Many manufacturers used Dexter components. I was able to most everything I needed through their suppliers. You will need to measure certain key dimensions (e.g.: brakes, bearings, lug spacing, ...

Re: Newbie (maybe) R23 - Need Advice - pictures

All of the wheel lugs I've seen are pressed into either the axle hub flange or brake drum/caliper. They are high-grade steel and not something you can just beat out with a hammer or drill out. So far as towing with a flatbed, I suggest taking some pics and discussing your options with a few towing o...

Re: Reese Round bar pro - Too Big?

We have an '88 30P. The GVWR is 8500#. The dry weight is approx. 6000#. That means the trailer is rated to carry 2500# of cargo. Cargo would include full propane tanks, as well as full fresh, gray and black water tanks. The remainder would be assigned for personal items or whatever you wish. If you ...

Re: Foul Air

Right now, I'm letting the black tank fill to about 60%. I've been adding bacteria pouches when its empty. I'm allowing the bacteria to break down the solids before emptying it into the septic; this keeps any solids from staying solidified in the tank. Then I drain the tank. I'll rinse the hose with...

Re: Bellypan question

I would want to build some substantial ramps ( 6" or more high) before using the electric jack as a lifting mechanism. With that steep an angle, your wood blocks would not sit square to the frame. You want the bearing area of the wood blocks to be perpendicular to the frame. I would recommend a...
