RE: Dual tank fill-up to top

The fill necks are too low. The after market bed manufacture has them too low.

RE: Will Air bags make a big difference?

Need to have the hitch properly setup, you are not transferring enough weight to the steer axle. Air bags will not help, might even make it worse.

RE: Sway Bars

Depends on your tow vehicle. You need to look at the tow capacity and requirements to get the capacity. Also, look at the sticker on the receiver, it will also state whether or not an equalizing hitch is required for the receiver.
Unless you are running a 3/4 ton or bigger, usually you will need the equalizer

RE: How critical is it to have a perfectly level trailer?

You better get an equalizing hitch! I'll bet you are over the towing capacity of you vehicle.

RE: Ram 5500 Front End Alignment Issue

If their rack will accommodate a 3500, they can do the 5500

RE: Trailer hitch height adjustment and chain question

You will need to get an equalizing hitch to tow that correctly and safely. You may also be beyond the tow capacity of your car.

RE: LT tires for 5th

ST tires are rated at max load
LT tires are rated at 80% of theoretical max load, because of the continual varying load of the intended vehicle and the lack of knowledge of tires in the general public.
I have run LT tires on all of my trailers since the 90's. I usually wear the tires out long before aging out.
I actually run MT tires on our fifth wheel, load range J. When it was time to replace the LT Hankook tires, it was suggested to me to look into the 17.5 MT's. I researched and found I could purchase new steel wheels and tires for $5.00 more per wheel than it would cost for new tires alone. I jumped from a 3750 pound capacity per wheel and tire combo, to 6005 pounds per wheel and tire.
I was having issues with the 16" wheels, cracking and welds breaking anyways, so I stepped up to the 17.5's. That was 6 years ago, haven't had a tire or wheel issue since.

RE: Norcold Refrigerator Carbon Buildup on Flame Probe

You are running rich, not enough oxygen. Check the full length of the burner tube and chimney. Make sure it is clear of wasp nest and spider nest. Make sure your flame is not yellow, lastly adjust your flame fuel screw if everything else is clear.

RE: DISH Network Issues

I just had my receiver pinged after setting over the winter. When I call the tech line, I continuously hit the "0" key until I get a person. Usually takes less than 5 minutes on the phone.

RE: Trailer Brakes Not Staying On

Check your umbilical cord to the vehicle, and the connections in the junction box on the the trailer. You have a poor/loose connection some where.
