    Reasons to NOT Postpone Bearing Maintenance

    It looks like the drum (in this situation) is still attached to the wayward wheel. Would that imply that the bearing seized and the axle eventually just snapped off from the wear? Also, I'm guessing this trailer must have had a tandem axle. Otherwise, he would have been limping along and...

    Reasons to NOT Postpone Bearing Maintenance

    This cracked me up. The guy's humor in the face of a bad situation was interesting. "That, That, That would be our wheel!" . This is what can happen if you don't stay on top of your bearing maintenance guys! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/199wZuYihu/

    Dometic Fridge Cover Question

    For me, the decision for a cover was less about the need for additional insulation and more about protection for the exterior of the refrigerator and also protection of the galley. It definitely delivers on those points. Based on my experience, I don't think I'll ever have a refrigerator...

    Vistabule Vs Camp-inn?

    There are some things I like about the Vistabule, like the big overhead window and the modern design. The big overhead window, as much as I like it, concerns me. When it comes to sunroofs I believe there are only two kinds. Those that leak and those that will eventually leak. :). In the end...

    Dometic Fridge Cover Question

    I use a Dometic cover on a refrigerator made by another manufacturer. I checked to make sure that the ventilation areas were in the same places before I did it though. Also, be mindful of where your controls are because you could also cover those up too. To be honest, the covers that are made...

    Fridge / Cooler A New Freezer/fridge Option

    The BougeRV 23 QT is currently available on Amazon. Be sure to search for current coupons. You can often find one somewhere for anywhere between 10% and 20% off. Also, it should be noted that BougeRV doesn't manufacturer these. They are buying them from a Chinese company that manufactures...

    Fridge / Cooler A New Freezer/fridge Option

    Just a few other random thoughts about the BougeRV units. To begin with, there are coupons and specials on these all the time. I paid $165 for my 23 QT and about $225 for my 30 QT. If you join their BougeRV Facebook page it extends your warranty to 3 years. If they're willing to support them...

    Fridge / Cooler A New Freezer/fridge Option

    I have one of the BougeRV 30 Quart units and it fits perfectly in the designated space in my 560. The 30 Quart also fits into the zippered insulated cover for the Dometic CF-35. The ventilation holes line up but the display doesn't. BougeRV also makes a cover for these units but they are not...

    550 / 560 No Tv?

    I bought a trailer that had a TV/DVD player in it. At the time I thought it was a good idea. I quickly realized that technology has changed and the TV/DVD player that might have been cutting edge for its day was somewhat lacking by today's standards. I liked the fact that it was built-in and...

    550 / 560 [tools] Robertson/square Head Screws On My 550

    Sorry for digging up an old thread. My trailer is a bit older and I have the hex head screws. So, the newer trailers have stainless square head drive (Robertson) screws in them where the older trailer had the hex head galvanized? Another somewhat related question. I've read quite a bit...
