RE: Towing double ?

Are there others out there that will risk the wrath of the neigh sayers and admit that they tow double ?
For example: Ex cab dually, 36'fifthwheel, Tow dolly and ex cab 4x4 pickup ?
Meets the maximum length for the plains states at 75'.
Ever know of a RV er getting a over the length citation ?
Or even measured for length ?
We towed 7600 miles double last year without incident and would like to hear from others about their double pulling experiences. Stay out of Ill.

RE: water heater turns off after a few seconds

It's most likely a bad connection. First pull the connector on the curcuit board on and off a couple of times and then find the wire that comes from the flame detector(It will come out from where thw burner is) and clean those connections.

RE: Front Suspension riding on bumpers

These yellow things are called air springs and are part of the suspention. they help keep the shock out of the ride when you hid dips in the road. They are normaly realy close to the spring or just touching it. they are also called jonst bumpers but I don't know if that spelling is correct.

RE: Surburban Furnace Intermitten Problem

Most furnace and water heater problems are due to low voltage caused by bad connections.

RE: Furnace not firing up...?

Check all connection first. The most common problem is low voltage due to bad connections.

RE: Another furnace question

Bad connections are the most freguent problems and the first thing the trouble shooting guide tells you to check. A bad connection can cause low voltage and prevent the furnace from lighting.

RE: Double Towing

Legle or not the first hitch has to have the capasity for the weight of both trailers. also the thing you are calling a bumper on the back of a travel trailer is nothing more than a place to put your sewer hose.

RE: 454 desieling

Check the dist.advance curve and set the timing at specs. If the idle timing it too low you have to open the trotle plates more to get the proper idle speed and this can cause the condition. Too much air!

RE: Generator adjust valve lash

It's a good idea to check and adjust the valve lash. As the valve lash increases its like a hammer hitting the end of the valve stem the wide the lash the harder the hit besides you will like the way it quiets the generator down. The carbon problem has greatly deminished with unleaded gas.

RE: ride height

The ride height is measured between the travel stop and the cross menber. Most P searies chassis are suppose to be around 2 to2 1/2 inches but If the springs have been changed it could be anything. Some people change the springs trying to get the MH to ride level and in most cases this is too high.

RE: dolly tow 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan

If you tie it down with the trans in park it puts undo preasure on the parking brake paw. Tie it down with the trans in nuetral and after it is secured then put it in park. Ther have been cases where the parking paw broke and some where the trans case cracked.

RE: alignment

The most important thing when aligning the front end is to have it setting at the proper ride height. On most P series chassis this is about two inches clearance on the bump stop. As the front end moves up and down the camber will change. As far as handling the caster controls this. The more caster the straighter it will run but as you increase caster you increase tire wear.

RE: double trailer hitch

I use a double receiver hitch and turn it upside down with the bike rack in the top one and my ball hitch in the botom for towing my car. I did move the bike rack closer to the MH by sliding it farther in the receiver and drilling another hole in the shaft for the pin.

RE: disinfecting fresh water holding tank national dolphin

Take the cap off and use a funnel. It's easier if you premix the bleach with about a quart of water.Thereis no cap on a Dolphin. You have to fill the tank from the city water connection. Filling the hose with bleach is the easyest way but you may have to do it a couple of times to get ehough bleach in it. After puting the bleach in drive it around to move it around good and then let it set for a while before flushing it out. You may have to do this a couple of times.

RE: Thermal overload on Winnebago lost both tvs

50A service uses both sides of a 220v curcuit. It probably triped one side of the breaker on the pole.
