RE: Transmission cooler options
I believe all aftermarket cooler manufacturers recommend their coolers be put in before the factory radiator so it can warm the fluid back up if overcooled or then help cool it more if severely over heated.

RE: Anyone installed extra d-rings in their toy hauler?
I put two in the centerline of our garage. One was super close to the gas tank and required carful drilling but other than that there was nothing to worry about. The bottom of the trailer has a solid fabric covering retaining the insulation but it conformed to the big plate washer without tearing when everything was tightened down.
Thanks! I didn't know there was fabric on the bottom. How long were the bolts?
They floor is 3/4 CDX ply and the plate I used as a washer underneath was 3/16. I can't remember off hand how long the bolts were but probably used 1.5"

RE: Best generator
Our trailer has a built in Onan but I use our twin Yamaha 2ks more often. They are so quiet and sip fuel.

RE: Bought our trailer, now come the questions!
Amazon has 10 packs LEDs in warm or white. I went white in the back of the toy hauler and warm in the hallway and front bedroom. Bought a bag of spares and threw them in one of the storage lockers. So far none have failed after 2 years. They really reduce your electrical load and create almost no heat compared to incandescent.

RE: RV Mattresses, where to try them?
Always got ours on Amazon. 8" or 10" knock off tempur-pedics.

RE: How could this be?
Winter and summer gas formulations are a thing...
Diesel #1 could cause a small dip in mpg because of the increase cetane.

RE: Anyone else run out of diesel ?
12 Valve Cummins is my daily driver. First make sure there is diesel in the fuel tank, at least 5 gallons. Remove the fuel filter and fill with diesel and reinstall. To prime you need to find the 10mm bleed screw just above the fuel filter. It will be in the center of a 17mm bolt holding the fuel delivery pipe from the filter to the injection pump. Crack the 10mm bleed screw open and manually move the lever on the fuel pump. This will remove the last bit of air in the filter housing, then tighten the 10mm screw. Crack all 6 injector lines loose at each injector and go back to the manual prime lever and manipulate it until bubbles start leaking out at the injector lines. Once it looks like pure diesel and no air tighten the line. You may have to turn/bar the motor over by hand a little to bleed the next injector. Continue untill all are bled and tighten them as you go.
I know it sounds like a lot of work and it is but it will fire and run. I've completely rebuilt my injection pump, changed injectors and lines before and it always fires off and purrs like a kitten if you take the time to purge the air out.

RE: What causes soft floors
I am sure some manufactures use CDX or OSB3,4 plywood but the floor I had to fix in our 2016 Sand Sport was neither of those. I suspect it was OSB 1or 2 both of which are not water resistant. There is nothing wrong with OSB category 3 or 4 in wet locations.
If you feel a soft spot in the floor the plywood has rotten from repeated water intrusion.

RE: House battery charging options
Of all the options I would get a small 2K watt Inverter Generator and run it during the day time to top off the batteries.

RE: I now hav e AC power in my driveway...
Best thing I ever did was rent a mini excavator from home depot and run power out to where we park it at our house. All told it was around 150' in length. So nice keeping it plugged in for guests and when prepping for a trip.

RE: Gen-set Troubles
If your Onan has the plastic altitude cap on it pry it off with a screwdriver behind it and turn the needle out 1/4 to 1/2 a turn. These things run lean to meet EPA standards and I believe they are not optimal at factory settings.

RE: 2023 GM HD 505hp/1085tq
Gotta love improvements.
Remember when the 1989 Dodge Cummins with 3 speed trans and a whopping 160 Hp/400ft/lbs was the cats meow?
Just used my 1992 to tow our toy hauler to a campground for the weekend. Being in California it does all right and while I see guys towing at 75mph that's just not my style. Also the fact my truck only goes about 70mph helps ??
I've never had it on dyno but she's got 50 horse injectors, HE351 turbo, full 4" exhaust including down pipe and a few other odds and ends.

RE: TT with its own motors!
I don't see how a light duty electric truck will ever have any kind of towing range until the trailer itself is stuffed with batteries to either power the truck also or like this power the trailers wheels.
For now I'll keep my Diesel.

Mine trucks old school and just run a 4" tube off the turbo to a dry MHAF.
