    Upgrade for single axle torsion suspension

    My single axle NoBo has Dexter torsion suspension and is so bouncy it tosses things in the air on small bumps. What do you all think is the best upgrade for a smooth ride on back country roads?

    Has anyone ever upgraded their 5th wheel old style water heater valves, and water pump valves behind the basement panel to three way valves that can be accessed easily?

    2007 Coachmen Mirada wiring diagram for lithium upgrade?

    Hey all, Does anyone know where I can get a wiring diagram for this RV? Turns out I can't just drop a lithium battery into the spot currently held by my Trojan T-105s. No... that'd be too easy and as we all know NOTHING is easy in the RV world. Turns out I gotta upgrade my charge...

    My Lithium upgrade Experience

    Lots of stuff out there. Lots of incomplete, dated materials on the web, and stories about installs on other platforms.... Lots of acronyms that aren't explained... I'm no expert, but maybe my experience can help others. 4 photos attached. I've got a Forest River Forester 2401WS on a 2016...

    Hi I have a 2019 Indiana built Wolf Pup 18TO. I have added solar, bike racks and batteries and other stuff to it so we can boondock, and now the empty axle weight is 4400 pounds and the tongue weight is 700. I changed out the 5000 pound A frame coupler that was the subject of a recall and...

    Suspension Upgrade (HELP NEEDED)

    I have a 2020 Coachman Freelander 27QB (Chevy 4500) and am seriously considering upgrading my suspension (front and rear Anti-Sway Bars, Shocks?). Any thoughts or experiences would be helpful to me. (We are new at this and have only been RVing since March.)

    2017 Roo 23IKSS toilet upgrade

    Hi, I've read all the threads and I'm convinced. Thought I would just go online and buy the 310... However, I was immediately faced with the low or high profile option, then right after that with the 310 vs 311 option. The trailer is about 2 hours away, winterized and silently waiting for...

    Best Seat Upgrade for Thetford Aqua Magic Style?

    Just upgraded my OEM plastic Thetford toilet to a nicer porcelain bowl model (Thetford Aqua Magic Style II) and now trying to find a better seat/lid combo than the original cheap plastic it came with. Ideally, I'd like to find a nice painted wood (or at least SOLID plastic) slow-close model if...

    Suspension upgrade?

    We own a 2020 Surveyor Luxury 251RKS. I have been reading other sites about folks upgrading their suspension with the Lippert Road Armor and bushings/wet bolt kit. We are not full-timers and never will be. In a year or so we will be taking a cross country camping trip (15,000 miles or so) but...

    Upgrade tires from C to D or to E

    I tried searching the forum and found 79 pages of different tires issues. :eek: I have a 2014 FR 8289WS. The Prev. Owner upgraded to ST 225/75R/15 D. I have a quote from a tire shop to install E rated tires. Is that going to be too stiff? Should I stay with D rated or does it really matter?

    Suspension Upgrade

    I am thinking about upgrading the suspension on my Catalina 26 TH and was wondering which one of three suspension you guys think would work best? I would also include new bronze bushings and wet bolts.

    How to upgrade existing Solar on Arctic Wolf 298LB 5th Wheel

    We purchased an Arctic Wolf 5th Wheel that came stock with a 50-watt solar panel. The panel's primary use is to power the units' DC electric refrigerator. The refrigerator draws about 11amps. Unfortunately, the stock solar panel does not generate enough power to keep the batteries charged...

    Class C in dash audio upgrade and sound deadening

    I have a 2016 Coachmen Freelander 27QB on the Ford E-350 chassis, and am interested in opinions on audio upgrades that people have done. The stock Jensen unit is ok, buy I'd like android auto and I don't care for the layout of the jensen controls. I have already upgraded the speakers. Also...

    Possible Actuator Upgrade

    It appears the big issue with the roof actuators is water intrusion. After we just lost ours (being replaced under warranty) I knew I needed to come up with a way of stopping water from entering the housing. I have a small machine shop in my garage that I use as a hobby. I was coming up with...

    Upgraded from Pop Up to Mini Lite 2506s

    We started camping more seriously just over a year ago when we moved from tenting up to a Fleetwood Bayside pop up, which we loved. But after about a year of putting up with the rigmarole of set up and tear down, plus the frequent dampness of sleeping in a canvas-sided pop up, we decided to move...

    Upgrade from Isata 5 to Force HD

    I have no idea how many Dynamax owners are on this forum, but thought I would give it a shot. I am a pretty new owner of an Isata 5 36DS and love it. The Dodge Ram5500 chassis and Cummins engine are a dream. But from what I understand its not uncommon for guys like me to upgrade shortly after...

    Great upgrade to my 2016 Coachmen Prism 24G

    2018 Isata 3 FW suspension upgrade

    I know there have been many threads on this topic but thought I would add my experience. After 3 years and 20,000 mile my oem suspension was worn out. The rig would wobble or oscillate side-to-side throwing everything around the RV every time we went over a bump. When we hit a pothole on the...

    Nobo 10.6 Upgrade Doors to Full Doors

    Hi all, Does anyone here have a 2021 Nobo 10.6? I have a previous version with the half-doors and the chin-destroying lip to clamber over on entry and exit. I see the new version has a MUCH better door setup. I want to find out the door and door frame part numbers, because I want to install...

    Replaced and Upgraded the awning canopy on our Carefree Latitude (2019 Isata 5 35DB)

    The canopy fabric on our Istata 5 awning came from the factory like every other Dynamax awning I’ve seen; it’s the “Dune Stripe” pattern in Black/Grey color. More importantly, it’s the “standard” Carefree vinyl “fabric”. I say “fabric” in quotes because it’s essentially just a sheet of solid...
