    Ford Excursion to tow Wildwood 29VBUD?

    We are getting ready to upgrade our Pilot to a Ford Excursion (anywhere from 2000-2005). I know they're older, but if we get the gas V10 6.8L 2WD we could supposedly tow 10,000 (3.73 axle ratio)- 10,500 (4.30 axle ratio) pounds. My question is would it be possible to tow the Wildwood/Salem...

    Ford TPMS System Failure Warning

    Someone, I think in this group, mentioned a few weeks ago that they were getting repeated “Tire Pressure Sensor System Failure” alerts on their Ford dash cluster after running on the highway for about 20 minutes…. Was that on this group? Did it turn out to be a Ford problem, or a Coachmen...

    Weird Mechanical/Electrical problems on 2017 Forester class C w/Ford E-450 engine

    Just minding my own business running down the road in Flaming Gorge, Utah when my trip suddenly changes drastically. The dashboard idiot lights tell me that my brakes are hot(or something), so I pull over to let them cool off. The brake/ABS warning lights go off so I think I'm in the clear to...

    https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/02/ford-wants-to-sell-evs-online-only-and-at-a-set-price/ Needless to say many Dealers aren't happy. As I read this there will be no more huge flooring plans where the Dealer orders what he thinks will sell, usually more fully loaded vehicles than basic. They...

    How to remove top dash of 2017 Ford E450

    I’m troubleshooting the problem of NO air coming from the 2 dash vents for the driver side. The 2 dash vents for the passenger work fine for “VENT” or A/C or Max A/C. By looking through the coin cubby pocket above the radio (which I removed) I can see the actuators move the rods to change air...

    Ford OEM TPMS and dually valve extensions

    Has anyone with the stock Ford OEM TPMS system found a solid dually valve stem/extension kit? By solid, meaning not braided, composite or rubber. I took my 2021 3051 (Ford E-450) to a reputable RV Wheel/Alignment shop here and they were stumped by the factory TPMS system. These guys have been...

    Black Water Tank Flush and Thetford Toilet Issue

    Greetings Fellow Forest River Owners, I’ve seen several videos on how people flush/rinse/clean their black water tanks. Doesn’t seem to be one way of doing it. What I do is dump the tank (gray is closed), and repeatedly refill to ¾ to full with water and dump until the 90-degree clear elbow no...

    Ford Pro Backup issue-only works straight back

    Never had one but when my 12 F250 was totaled I got a 22 F250 with the Backup package. I have a 22RR toyhauler and placed the "sticker" as far back on the left side as possible. The gas tank bracket prevents it from being more than 10" centered which is supposed to be in spec. Anyway, it...

    How I Installed a CatStrap on a 2019 Ford F-53 V10 Motorhome Chassis

    A CatStrap is a catalytic converter anti-theft device. While I found a lot of information on installing one on a car or truck, there was almost nothing available for a Ford F-53 gas motorhome so I decided to write up what I did. The installation turned out well and so far the catalytic...

    2016 Ford F250 question

    I took my 2016 F250 to the dealer and asked them to diagnose a clunk or tink sound that occurs when I place the truck in drive and reverse and sometimes while starting from a complete stop. The transmission mechanic said its not the transmission and the sound is nothing to be concerned about...

    Ford E450 cutaway chassis cab air flow

    Most Forester and Sunseeker models on the E450 have the same cab layout and features. I don’t think my questions matter whether you have the V10 or V8 engine. My rig is a 2018 Sunseeker on the 2017 Ford E450 chassis. I think we can agree there is no cabin filter in the cutaway cabs. This has...

    Dometic to Thetford swap ... maybe

    I have a 2021 Forest River Vibe 21BH and would like to replace my current Dometic 300 toilet. After looking at the 'rough in' specs for both Thetford and Dometic toilets the closest match I can find is the Thetford Agua Magic Style ii. The dimension that restricts me is the distance from the...
