(Solved) REAL TIME HELP IN ILLINOIS!

It the opposite wheel. Word of caution...never trust and impact wrench!

Do not use impact wrench on these. Start your nuts by hand and then finish with torque wrench.

Spoke too soon...stock LX wheels require a special lug nut that fits down in the wider hole of the wheel. They Have checked everywhere it so far, no luck. I'm just hanging out in my new camper in the Walmart parking lot. Probably for another night.

Well, did you make of out of the Walmart lot? on another note, how is your new camper....hope your family made it home okay.

Still waiting on the call from Sears this morning. But yes...this camper is nice! I can't wait to not be in it anymore!

At least give us a pic of the camper!

Yeah, I am surprised how often these wheel studs break, I have replaced 4 in two years of ownership. The dealer has replaced 1 that they popped while rotating tires but that was cool with me since I had a master Toyota mechanic go through the front end to repair the stud.

I now carry two spare studs and lug nuts in my spares kit, that and a spare coil are the only things I have needed so far.

As it sits until later this afternoon when they can get my truck done.

Finally got my truck back and on the road. Crashing out in a Love's parking lot for a while before heading the rest of the way (5 hours) home tomorrow.

How is the ac in a pop up?

How is the ac in a pop up?

If you are asking how it's working, I don't know personally. The seller said everything was working. If you are asking how good A/C does in a pop up, I again do not know. You have me thinking though. I need to get it all hooked up and systems check everything.

How is the ac in a pop up?

If you're talking in general terms how A/C does in a pop-up, my experience has been very good in my Flagstaff. I'm talking like being able to get the temp inside down into the 50s if I really wanted to. Keep in mind the A/C units on top of pop-ups are comparable to window units used in apartments, but instead of having to cool an entire apartment it obviously only has to cool the small space inside the camper so it's more than sufficient. The only difficulty I have run into is the condenser coil freezing up when the outside air temp is not very hot (70-80*). This happened a few times on my recent trip to Colorado and it was the first time in the 3yrs that I've owned my camper to experience this, however, I'm not sure if that was due to the air temp, altitude, or a combination of other factors. Turning the A/C off and just letting the fan run for 30min will remedy this issue and then you can turn it right back on. Some advice I have for Aaron (or really anyone who has a pop-up), clean the condenser coil inside the unit. Not only can that prevent it from freezing but it will run more efficiently and effectively. Super easy 10min (1/4 job) and I can walk you through the steps I took if that would be of any help. Glad your family is safe and you got your truck back Aaron, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel!

I had a couple studs on the right rear break the first time I went to rotate the tires... Pretty odd that they break this easily. BTW the pop up looks great!

Thanks! I was concerned ac just leaves thru the zipper.

Another sound piece of advice: You see those reflective panels in all of my windows, as well as on top of the bed slide-outs? They are a life safer and definitely my favorite and most useful mod I've done on the camper so far. I run them all the time and they provide excellent insulation no matter if it's a 100+ scorcher, or below 0 and your balls pucker up the second you step out of the camper. These also allow me to not have to run the A/C or heater at a higher setting or more frequently than I need to. This obviously puts less strain on both of those components prolonging their lives and saving you the trouble of replacing them later on down the road. The ones in the bed windows are the same material used for windshield sunshades, just a large roll of it that I cut to fit. The reflective tarps on top of the bed slides are from a company called PopupGizmos. They have a database with the dimensions of over 2,000 makes & models of camper's so you just find yours and purchase which ones you want. I also bought one to cover the dinette slide-out on the opposite side of the camper. You can see the bungee cords on each side that secure them to the canvas and they clip together underneath the bed. With those plus a cleaned condenser coil, let's just say it's an amazing feeling when you walk into it after a 115* day on the lake.

I did not know about the top...looks like they don't have my model, but probably something that will work.
