upgrade

Good morning, I am new to this forum but not RVing. Just sold my Weekend Warrior Toy hauler and am purchasing a Columbus 320RS. Don't use the garage in the toy hauler and found the living quarters too small. The Columbus has 3 slides which opens up the kitchen and living room to be more...

I have a 2017 Columbus F377MB and I am thinking about upgrading the brakes to disc brakes. I am looking for all recommendations good, bad, and ugly. Thanks, Randy

My 2022 Salem 260 toy hauler came new with castlerock tires. Things happened and trips got canceled. Finally going to be able to start camping again in December. I plan to replace these tires with Carlisle HD radial trails. My estimated load with golf cart is 7,100 lb. If the ST205/75R14...

Can I upgrade my 2024 Cougar 25MLE to disc brakes without losing my ABS?

I have a 2015 340 KP Legacy that we still love and I have maintained to the hilt. My biggest complaint is still the full wall schwintek slide mechanism that is not even close to what the slide needs. I've replaced numerous 500 to 1 motors, and the racks are wearing so bad you can watch the...

So it’s time to start thinking about replacing the awnings on my ‘14 XLR 395amp. Both of them are starting to get dry rotted and one has a slight bend in the arms after things got a little out of hand one day I believe these are dometic power awnings that were supplied from the factory, they...

Hi all. I just bought a new to me 2022 Shamrock 233S. Been reading threads on here like crazy. We are leaving for a trip to Rocky Mountain NP in two weeks where we will be 4-5 nights without electric hookup. Currently we just have the one 190w solar panel, one 12v 85ah battery and the original...

So we're going to do a great northwest trip into Canada in the early fall with lots of boondocking. I'd really like to upgrade my two Group 27 AGM batteries (85amp each) with lithium to at least double my battery power. I've read thread after thread but need an experienced forum member and/or...

if you did, did you upgrade your cameras when you did? I just upgraded to a large screen android auto radio so I can have nav on the screen. In order to get the cameras to work, i had to get the 4 pin to rca adapters from voyager. but the cameras are old so the resolution isn't that great. I...

Hello All, I just picked up my first RV, It's a 2022 Amerilite 197BH. I was looking to see if there is a basic list of things I will need to get started with along with any upgrades that might be useful. :p

I was glad that Forest River installed a lot of USB ports in the camper. I was sad when I realized they must have gotten them from the dollar store because none would actually charge my phone. I ended up replacing them with this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CWKWQMDD/ref=ewc_pr_img_1...

I just bought a 230AH lithium LIFEPO from litime. I've been reading about how the converter has to be configured for lithium as does the Victron mppt solar controller. The documentation is great for the Victron, but the documentation for the charger/converter is non-existant. All I get is...

So I am an idiot and reversed polarity when hooking up my batteries and killed the stock Xantrex Freedom 2000 inverter. Since I need to replace it should I just go with the original or is there an upgrade/better value someone can recommend? I mainly use it for the TV and not much else. Thanks!

Ok Boys/Gals... This is my Lithium upgrade. Good or Bad, here it is... Objective: To install the lithium battery, Lithium Battery Isolation Manager, and Lithium Converter in our 2018 Forest River FR3 30DS. Battery: EPOCH 460...

Just returned from a 2 week trip down south. Lot of travel on I81 and I84. Not telling any secrets to anyone here that there are some awful sections. Concrete roads seem to be the worst as the slabs have become an uneven washboard. Saw some potholes in NY that would have easily blown a tire, DW...

Does anyone have shelving suggestions for the nightstands or wardrobes of these FSX units? I measured the wardrobe face width was 7 3/8in wide and 10 1/2in interior (like if you could rotate a shelf system in there) and the nightstands have a face width of 9 1/2in and then roughly 12 in wide...

Greetings all. I would like to upgrade my 2022 NO BO 19.5 solar capacity from the OEM 190 watt solar to 600 watts solar. I am seeking information from those who have done an upgrade / increased their solar. My biggest concern would be the cable running from the solar panel to the charge...

Has anyone upgraded their pump to a variable speed or multi-speed? Multiple fixtures = pressure loss. Wife takes a shower, I flush the rear toilet and I hear a scream. Or I take a shower and she decides it's time to do dishes. Is there a good upgrade for this?

For now, I'm asking Surveyor owners, because of the consistency of design and parts but I'll measure the axle centers in a bit and anyone with the same configuration, is welcome to join in. I'm interested in toughness (for minor off roading / boondocking and smoothness. There can be trade offs...

The rear of our coach seems to sag a little, loaded or unloaded. Has anyone done any suspension upgrades to raise the rear suspension up? Also curious, is the wheel base longer on a 30' than our 28'? Thanks
