FYI, you can bypass the plug completely. You may need to splice in wire to maintain length but you can splice out the existing connectors. I am guessing that if you were to find the appropriate connectors you will still need to replace all of the...

When I got into my brand new ‘08 it had 76 or 78 miles on it and it had the same resonance. I’m not saying that it isn’t the harmonic balancer but it probably isn’t shot bushings. FYI, when I sold it last year it had the same hum. 213,000 miles.

Passenger floor could also be the cowl letting water into the recirc door. Has your windshield been replaced?

Yeah, nothing makes that guy stuck behind you happier than having you speed up at the bottom of a hill so they can’t get past you. Just about my biggest aggravation on the road.

Here’s a Hail Mary, did you start it with the transmission in neutral? This is the only way sometimes for me. Long shot, i know.

That trailer has a low center of gravity and very little overhang behind the wheels. I had pictured a higher flatbed style of trailer. I would agree with the experienced people’s opinion and not worry about brakes. My main concern was the...

Boy, this going to garner some interesting comments. I will be close to the first to respond, do you have pictures of the trailer? I can't believe that the dealer would ever recommend any trailer without brakes. Did you get the impression that he...

Appreciate the support and suggestions. I got the Milenco mirrors mounted. Today's discussion was on how many sammiches we'll need lol. After all the preparation and concern, we're actually kind of stoked. As in let's do this!

Don’t you usually have a ground through the trailer hitch? Oops, I see that skrypj’s doesn’t.

Im not suggesting that there is anything wrong with the Redarc, or that it has anything to do with the fault, I am only saying that the message on the screen on the Tek is easy to read and understand. And that I’m happy with my Tek, smiley face.

I think that the Tek just gives a clear message on the controller. The brakes cut out immediately, with an “short circuit detected” message, until the next application where it repeats. In my case at least. I don’t remember the exact message...

Do you get a “short circuit no brakes” message? The reason that I ask is because of a random, aggravating bug that took me what seemed like forever to find. I won’t go into everything I went through but I ended up replacing the brake assemblies...

I don’t know where my head was at. I have what i think is a 1 7/8” ball on my utility trailer, a 2” on my “camping” trailer and boat trailer and a 2 5/16 0n the wdh for the travel trailer.

I am only interested as an academic exercise. I am perfectly happy with my trunion bar hitch. It’s funny that you guys ride around on shocks on a hydraulic suspension but don’t trust a simple cylinder that gets actuated once a trip. I think that...

I hadn’t noticed that. I see that you can get a 2” ball switched out at the factory. I guess that’s another first gen thing for evolution? I’ve never seen a 2 5/16” ball. Are they common? I don’t see this hitch as viable right now but I am...

Yeah this guy reviewed it and said the same thing. He seems to have a pretty good handle on what's important and with a few caveats, like price and hanging low, likes this hitch. It is an interesting concept. And it certainly seems to be the...

After watching a Youtube on the B&Q Continuum hitch I am curious about any real life use. Teckis what is your engineering take? It looks pretty sweet to me but I do have a concern about the hydraulics in the path of the wheel spray. I think that...

That is the step that I have now for the outgoing trailer but, of course, if the legs from the new steps don't hit the ground ???? Just new trailer questions to be answered in the next couple of months. blocks, pipe extensions, other solutions...

The adjustable-leg part seems to be just aluminium channel with holes drilled, should be easy to make a longer one!

Yeah, that type. I know that the steps are adjustable but the trailer will be going up 6” or 8” so I’m a little concerned. A person has to have something to personalize every new purchase and that will be one of mine. No biggy.

I have always loved the term “flip the axles” and understand exactly what you mean. It’ll be done at a reputable axle shop and the springs will be mounted above instead of below the axle. One concern that i have is that the steps are the new fold...

The new trailer has conventional axles so it is a simple flip. Off to Edmonton next week to pick it up.

On the newer Lance campers (which are also slung quite low) there’s a 2.5” lift kit which is just a set of lift blocks I think. On the first generation Lance trailers (which I have) the Dexter axle actually sits recessed into the frame, so the...

This. It depends on the specific trailer. In some cases the dexter axles are just mounted to the bottom of the frame rails and its a simple spacer lift. In my case, with this Jayco, its much more complicated and custom. That said, there is a guy...

One of my previous trailers had a torsion axle (just like the Dexters) and I had it lifted. Lots of photos/details right here: eatSleepWoof's 2019 Erwin Hymer Touring GT550 -...
