You might be able to cut a couple of VEE cuts on the back side so that if / when the cap gets snapped down, it has a way to vent.

Why not just go to the local store and pick up a 15amp battery charger. No it will not take the batteries to 100%, but you could leave it plugged in...

I'm a fan of the Endurance tire as well....

acoleman43 does your unit have shore power + generator with TS-30 transfer switch, or this was just shore power + inverter, hence the Magnum CSW1012W...

This Forum is Great! Been here for a few months, sorry for my delay in saying Hello. First time owning and excited to keep this adventure going.

Those are great isolators, but the question was about riser block. I do like the rubber pad with the plate for the rocks like you show.

Just my 02. In my research you want about 3" clearance above the tire. 2.5" is OK. Thought behind this number is most of our springs have a...

Avoid spray adhesive if possible as it makes a MESS.

After reading this thread just wondering what the difference would be between a truck LT tire and a trailer tire?

Just hook up the truck and charge it?

It looks like it's the gap between the wall and closet behind the toilet. The information GD has made available to the moderators points in this area...

Well, it's a truck tire. Load range E1. It'll do the job. I'm assuming you have done the whole ST vs LT thing and decided on going with LT tires? It's...

If it helps you further, the rear hangers make up the majority of failures. In a rig the size of yours and mine, I do not believe...

Hmmmm....no I've not located that unit yet. Where is yours located?...

I am a bit puzzled here. You took the SPS out, so you should have a shore power cable coming in, and somewhere a shore power cable going to your distribution...

Tod - If I may ask how did you bond them? I don't see any fasteners in your photo. Can you also post the size? I'm guessing 16" square from the photo....

Out of curiosity--why would you want to do that? None of the Schwintek systems installed by GD use a 500:1 ratio. I suggest consulting with Lippert...

Hi Jeff -- since I have a travel trailer I'll leave the technical side of your question to others. My purpose is to simply welcome you to the forum and...

There are two motors per slide and they would both have to be the same ratio.

Just purchased a 381MS and it came with a Rhino Box on it. I can’t find any info searching web. I’d like to change it out for a suspended air ride...

If you change 1 motor to a 500:1 do you need to change all 4 on the slide or will they compensate?
