Halfway through our New England tour this summer. Have a exhaust whistle (leak) in the very back of port #6. Bought the new stuff while staying with friends in Maine, thought a nice Sunday would be a good day to take it apart and replace every thing from gaskets to hardware! I have tried every...

We have recently traded up in 5'ers from 30ft to 35ft. This one came with 3" blocks on the axles and 16" and tires (finally)! The mix of tires and the date codes concerned me as we are planning a 5-8k trip this winter starting around new years. It had 2 BCT LT's, a Heritage, and Firestone LT...

We are heading south in a couple of months before the real cold starts here in NC. But would like to get a small effective electric heater for our 34 foot 5er. Who among us has an opinion and or experience with too few or too many BTU?

This is a call to anyone in central/eastern North Carolina that may know of a good body shop. As you can see by my sig I have a short bed truck. Earlier while towing our first 5'er I got caught in some bad places to maneuver and dented the C pillar around the rear window (both sides!!:mad:)...

Well the odometer rolled over 134k and like clockwork "Perform Service" chimed. Started disassembly today, things look about right in terms of soot buildup. Something I don't understand though is the amount of soot that is in the butterfly below (upstream) the EGR valve? Where would...

This is less RV related and more truck, but it’s related to bone headed RV owner mistake! See the attached picture of the damage done to the C-Pillar of my 2007.5. One side was creased on a moonless night when caught in a very narrow low overhead street in Florida with my older 5er. The other...

General question to those that know...... After a 18k mile round trip on some rough roads but mostly highway last year I seem to have a rash of codes pop up. This past January and February the Nagravator and I went from cold NC to less cold FL. Over a period of a couple of months while on the...

My wife and I have been into the RV'ing mode for the last 5 years or so. After our latest trip to Alaska and back we have been discussing backing out of the lifestyle. If we continue to think more about selling out. What advice would you have for selling our equipment? Sell as a package? Sell...

Looking for a pair of chrome hubcaps for the above. Had new tires put on, rough roads on my Alaska trip shook them off. Tire dealer shrugged. Looking for something cheap. Thanx

OK Gang! Heading for the barn after 16k on the odometer for this latest trip from NC to AK and return! Two days ago while tooling through the flatlands of KS, get the “Electronic Throttle Control” light, shortly afterward the “Check Engine Light” Chimes in. I check the codes with my handy dandy...

Well the CDT finally decided to cost me more than fuel!! Left NC 1st of May, been to AK and go back to ID this week (11,000 mi). The whole time I kept hearing a "Chirping" from the turbo area when pouring on the power, or using the EB. Thought it was most likely one of the flex couplings leaking...

Bone Stock, get ETC light at odd times, mostly when engaging cruises control or when CC releases as I brake. Sometimes idling. No Codes??? Which sensor could cause this TPS?

Man, installed new shocks all the way around today (driveway). Rears went on as expected. Didn't realize you have to take half the front end apart to get to the shock towers!!!! Eventually left the battery tray in place on the drivers side, Too many electrical gizmos attached to the tray...

Got my 2014 copy of the Milepost, spending quality time laying out routes etc. There seem to be a lot of options in terms of campgrounds , parks etc. Being a newbie to this RV lifestyle I need some guidance. Is it really important to make reservations for the entire trip. my reason for asking...

Prepping my 30 ft 5er for a lot of miles this year. Thinking about buying some light Alum. Diamond Plate, cutting and screwing it to the low leading surface of the trailer immediately behind the truck. Any one have experience and/or suggestions about gage and fastening?

Lately when using the EB (check sig) I hear the turbo spool up when the EB is applied. I don't recall hearing that before. Does that mean I have blown a gasket on the input side of the turdo, or is a flex coupling eroded? Where should I look for evidence of a leak? Thanx,:o

Hi out there! I'm looking for some help from Freddie Kilowatt!! Bought a new (new to me)5er. Brought it home a couple of weeks ago. Plugged it into 30 Amp outlets while on the road, used the 110VAC outlets for charging flashlights , laptops etc. all's well. Come home and plug it into my 15 amp...

Searched the database for a similar post, didn't find what I'm looking for. 07.5 Laramie, Auto. My Cruise switch on the steering wheel seems intermittent. Used it earlier in the day everything is fine. Changed the oil/filters, went to wash the truck, on the way the switch would not indicate...

Looking into the future, we are thinking about a springtime sprint to Fairbanks and return in late fall before the snow flies. I would like to pose a few questions to my fellow TDR Nomads. What did you do to prep your 5er and CTD for such a trip. What spares did you anticipate and what did you...
