RE: 2005 Thor jazz 5th wheel electrical
Hi. You may want to check TV antenna signal booster to see if the red lite is on. If! So its pulling power from the 12v system. If your 5th whl has a 12v inter-up kill switch use it.

RE: Towing with a 1/2 Van
Hi.
The real trick will it stop that amount of weight safely?
What will be in the van while your towing?
The carrying weight, and the pulling weight. Can the van do both? And still be legal?
What is the allowable coupler weight limit?

RE: Replaced 03 chevy 1500 w/ 04 Dodge 2500 Hemi
Hi.
I had a Ford F-150(1975) first year the F-150's were introduced to Johe Q. Public. Pulled a TT(23'), Tent(13'), and then a 5th whl(23'). over 300,000+m. Donated it to pacific southwest R/R museum, campo in 2002 still going.
Replace it with a 1996 Dodge Ram 2500hd, V-10 some 254,000+m and still going. Now it pulls a 31' 5th whl. Pac coast to Atl. coast twice, Pac N/W 70+ times, plus hundreds of local pulls.
Still a great puller.

RE: Shocking subject
Hi.
After I took off the OEM shocks I could never find an after market set I was happy with. The last set was on sale at pet boys. So far there is 7000 miles on them and still seem to be holding up ok. After about 25,000 miles ther are change out. I have a V-10 and the front end is a bit heaver than the V-8's. Shock keeps braking off lower R/S ring weld.

RE: Large family looking for 5th wheel recommendations
Hi.
In the past the RV industary produce a bunkhouse model. If they still do? A toy box my afford some help.
You didn't mension the ages or how many of which. The bigger they are the more room they will take up.
You are looking for a 30' plus rig, and a 1-ton puller(crew-cab).

RE: Moving from gas to diesel TV: What will be different?
Hi.
Read op-manual cover to cover first.
Warm up engine (10-15 min.) before putting a load on TK., and cool down (Idle) after you complete the days run (10-15 min.) stopping.
Watch for fuel delusion.
Care and maintebance is more.
Never go below a 0.250 tk. of fuel.

RE: Electric Stabilizer Question
Hi.
Remember your are in an RV. There will be some movement.
Its like being on a boat.
I would assume the term "Stabilizer" is just that.
Stabilizing the RV.
They are not anchors.
You keep binding the Stabilizers there are going to quit.
Yon mat want to get RV stands to help.
