Been looking for one and have not found one. If there isn't one perhaps we should start one?  |

Early November, 2018 - 820 mile round trip.
On our first trip we actually spend the first night in a KOA campground near Natural Bridge Virginia. No pictures, we got in late and I had to sterilize the water tank and all that comes with that and I was beat. We got up early the next morning and headed out. I will have a vlog coming soon that has this site in it.
On this first picture, does it look like I need to bring the nose of the 5th wheel down an inch or two? I know it's not exactly level but I had to bump the goosebox down a hole in order to get my bed rail clearance from 5 1/2 to about 7 1/2"

We have really enjoyed our trailer this year. Good thing about living in Texas is we get to use it year round. Spent thanksgiving with the kids camping. Headed out next weekend with friends.

Awesome pictures! I am so envious of you guys that live in the south. Hopefully one day I leave the north and head for warmer climates for good! It's tough to have used our new camper once and then drop it off at the dealers for repairs. I want to get it back soon so I can start working on some things like the backup camera. I have also been eyeing some new lithium batteries to replace the stock ones. On top of it all, it looks like it may be "warm" enough the next week or two with no nasty winter weather to be camping at least one more time.  Here is a shot of our camper on our way to the weigh station for the first time (the day we picked it up) This is with the goosebox in the same position as the old pin box was before we moved it down a hole. Everytime I look at this picture I think, man this thing is huge! LOL

Hey mods! How about making this a "sticky", if you can?

Come on, like really, does nobody like showing off their camper, we don’t have kids nor or planing for them, so our parents know the camper is our baby! Everyone has to have a picture on their phone they can upload and show everyone else their pride and joy!

Lyle Lyle, I picked up the Strong Arms and the Step Above from PPL in Houston when we drove it back from Louisiana after purchase. Since they came with the entire set, I scratched my head and drove around the RV park to decide how to position on the rear. Some units had them installed in the position I went with and one other had them positioned going towards the inside, but with no structural members available I attached them to the outside frame. It seems to work better than just the level up alone, but I installed them pretty quick so wasn't really super taken away by the performance of them. When I am home for the holidays with it I need to have the adapter lugs welded on, I installed them with the screw bolts from the bottom but want to get them welded and painted. But the step is another story, love that thing. |

Awesome looking rigs.
Thinking about those JTs as well. Are they easy to install and worth the expense and effort?

I don't know about easy to install, as mine came from the factory, but they're definitely worth it, IMO. If you're a DIY guy, they're easy to make, and a lot of people do.

Mdcamper, I installed by my self in the spot pictured in about 3 hours over a week, had to order more of the short swing bolts, due to the hydraulic jacks and the adapter lugs needed. Could have been done in 2-3 hours if I would have had all items needed. I just had a drill set, socket set, and some drill bits was all that was needed to install. I will say this, if you have the hydraulic level up system, you will have to order about 175 worth of additional parts needed to install. Which its all made by LCI but does not come with the proper accessories needed. I wish they would make a bundle set option for those of us with the hydraulic jacks. Maybe in the future. Cave |
