I have a 2017 Ford F-150 FX4 3.5 Ecoboost and use an Andersen "No-Sway" Weight Distribution Hitch to pull a 2019 Coachmen Freedom Express Ultra Lite 248RBS. The manual for the Andersen hitch says a should turn off the electronic anti-sway in my truck if it uses vehicle brakes as part of an...

planning a big trip next april to some great jeeping in moab. my wife questions how well the 2015 gtown 351ds will do going over the rockies pulling the jeep. we pull as a toad now, but hope to have a nice light aluminum trailer by then. anybody have thoughts about how we will fare? thanks.

Is this a good vehicle to flat tow?

I’m curious to hear opinions on which is better and why. Mostly a daily driver and occasionally pulling a 8k pound TT across country. The GMC Sierra crew cab 4x4 with the standard bed 6.2 liter with max trailering package. The Ford F-150 super crew 4x4 with standard bed 3.5 EcoBoost...

Hello I am seeking for input regards to the performance/fuel mileage comparisons between the F250 with the 6.2 & 2020 7.3 Ford powertrains preferably hauling a 5er in the 13000 lbs weight range. I am hoping that by now a few of the readers to this forum have tried out the new 7.3 gasser. Thanks...

My Sunseeker floats on the highway. I have seen post about adding caster. But can’t seem to locate them. Does anyone out there have the specs?

The just announced F150 has an optional 30amp service which they advertise as negating the need for contractors to carry a generator. That made me think. Why not wire 120 to your rig and charge a lithium battery bank during your moves and run your fridge on 120v when driving. Then you might only...

Anyone towing with a 2019 Ford F-150 FX4 3.5 Ecoboost 3.55 rear end and 10-speed transmission? If so, how is the new 10-speed transmission handle while towing?

Wondering if anyone has towed an Apex Nano 208BHS with a 2020 Ford Explorer (or a similar sized trailer 203RBK, 213RDS?). Ideally an XLT or Limited trim 2020 Explorer which has the base engine (300HP, 310 lbs torque, 5300lbs tow capacity, 560lbs hitch weight, ~1800lbs payload capacity). I know...

I was curious if anyone has a LiquidSpring rear suspension installed on a Ford E series class C motorhome. I’m looking for feedback on how much it might improve the ride quality over the stock leaf spring suspension, and whether the improvement was worth the cost. Thanks. https://liquidspring.com/

We take possession of a new to us 2018 Sunseeker at the end of the month. Has anyone addressed the wide open area circled in the photo attached? I can’t believe Ford leaves it this open REGARDLESS of what will be attached to the cutaway cab. Seems to be just asking for trouble from road debris...

I have been experiencing a shimmy when hitting bumps at highway speeds on my 2017 F-350 Dually Crew Cab when towing my 5th wheel. I got a notice from Ford that they would install a damper if having problems. I had the damper installed and will be heading out this Friday. Hopefully the damper...

Does anyone know if there is a harness connection for an electric brake controller add on for a 2108 F53 Chassis? Specifically a Georgetown GT5. I know most Ford Trucks have them, but not sure about the F53.

I was idly surfing the web this afternoon, and ran across the following truck at a local dealer: 2015 F250 Lariat Crew Cab 6 3/4 bed 101,000 miles 6.7L Diesel 4x4 10,000lb GVWR pkg 3.55 Electronic Locking axle Lariat Ultimate pkg and some other assorted options I don't really need a diesel -...

We have a thetford toilet in out camper and I hate it. Its the plastic model and it makes horrible noise when you sit on it. I would like to put in one with a china or ceramic bowl. Like the dometic 310 or 320. Does anybody know if there is a direct bolt in replacement? Thanks

Have question, I have a sunseeker and this fat boy cannot get under the unit. For those who have done work under, I.E. installing steering or any thing else how do you do it? Also any links to utubes of the install work help also. Thanks for any wisdom, Gary

Since everything was closed, I decided to install Dynamat and Dynaliner in the cab of the camper this past holiday weekend. Although I would have preferred to have our beachfront spot on Lake Michigan, doing this was almost as much fun! :D I started by removing the seats which required a 19mm...

So, I replaced a "stinky" 300 Thetford toilet with a new 320 toilet with the larger ceramic bowl. Nice unit, but it does not flush very well. Only the back half of the flush holes around the rim of toilet drain any water. The "flush' itself is more of a dripple of water, not a good "flush" to...

Hey all you WDH/sway experts, and I mean that seriously. I’m think about having my wife tow our 1800 lb side by side on a 1000 lb single axle (3500#) 6x10 utility trailer with her 2018 Ford Explorer. (I tow the travel trailer she tows the UTV, short trips 1-2 hours) Her Explorer has a class...

I am new to the class A world. I just purchased this unit a couple days ago. It is a 36.6 foot 3 slides with a Ford V10. Problem 1 NO manuals whatsoever. I checked Gulf Stream website found a few but nothing that really helps. There are so many buttons and swithchs I don't know what they go to...

Hello everyone! Looking to buy a 2007 Isata with 25,000 miles. The RV looks to be is excellent shape and everything works. From what I've gathered Dynamax only made the Isata/Ford F-550 configuration in 2007? I checked the DM website and there is no brochure to be had. Any input pro or...

Ok as any one had a problem finding a FORD dealer that will work on your rig ? Last year for state inspection I went to local Ford dealer They seem glad to work on it. This year they call me for a reminder for service. So i call back for appointment and was told they dont work on motor...

Anyone have any real world towing experience with Fords new 7.3 gas motor yet?

We're considering purchasing an R Pod 196, which weighs in around 3550 unloaded. My 2017 Explorer has the factory 5k tow package. I'd appreciate any thoughts on R Pod quality and comments on tow vehicle combination. We just travel the East coast, I-95.
