I may have to get a 68RFE in my new truck.

BY THE WEIGH I AM GOING TO THE SCALE TO SEE HOW MUCH THE WEIGHTS HAVE MOVED SINCE TURNING THE ANDERSEN BASE BACKWARDS SO I WILL UPLOAD IT IN A LITTLE WHILE.

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

I DO HAVE ABOUT FIFTY GALLONS OF WATER IN THE FRESH WATER TANK SO THAT WILL MAKE SOME DIFFERENCE.

Looks great to me .I am happy that things worked out for you .Sounds like you are happy with the way it rides ,and tows now .

I certainly hope this ends the debate on this perceived fore ,and aft movement as the problem.

Great, I am curious to how much pin weight you have, make sure to get that .

My opinion is, B&W is the best hitch, for the money, the dollar value when it comes to stability. Are there better hitches? You bet there is, would I buy them? No, now that I have expererianced first hand what the B&W does for you. I'm only pushing the B&W hitch with the OP, because he already has the most important part., the underbed frameworks. You have accused me of pushing only one hitch, as if its the best of the best and ignore any other options. Thats so far from the truth, with all the others out there, it can't be so. Reese would have been my second option, if I hadn't bought a B&W bed (do not confuse that for the hitch). I believe Reese's quality is good and I actually purchased the Reese under bed brackets for the top rails on my 04.5. They are perfect for the no drill no weld hydroformed frame, and puts the pin perfectly in front of the rear axle that you can't get wrong. Stuarts B&W underbed frameworks puts him in perfect position to complete it with the Companion, IF he choses to do so. The Air-ride setup he has will complement the B&W companion. Why? because he already has it, why not use it.

Hands down the puck mount B&W is the BEST non air ride hitch on the market plain and simple. Their other products are the best in their category.

All the op has left to correct is the bed deflection with his fore and aft movement. Simple hard rubber pads to take up the space under the 4 corners of the hitch base.

I know for a FACT this can and does happen. I personally know the young couple "Mortons on the Move", look em up. They sell Andersen products and he has a 2010 RAM pulling a 36' Mobile suites. He will tell you if asked "yes I do have bed deflection and have marks from it".

Stewart hard mount a go pro in your bed travel down the highway hit the brakes to see the base deflecting the top corrugation on the bed.

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

I got a guy's okay here's the weigh scale ticket everything looks different look at my other weigh scale ticket and see what you think I got to go home and look at the other so to see the difference but it is obviously more weight thank you.

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

I am here guys here's a picture of me in front of the RV in the pickup truck it's very level I think why don't you guys chimed in with your opinions my lovely wife is going to take a picture of me hahaha.

 

[TFucili]

If mama is happy everybody is happy.

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

Yes MaMa is happy with the results of the changes and it rides much better.

I get your point about deflection but your talking a PU truck and a 15000 pound RV we only get like 8 miles to a gallon we are so inefficient that its not funny.

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

It seems having fresh water in the fresh water tank has unloaded the drive axle of the Ram a bit or thats what it looks like?????

[TFucili]

Where is the fresh tank???

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

Where is the fresh tank???

it would appear in the fresh the fresh tank is towards the back because when I put the 50 something gallons of water or whatever is back there it on wait in the the drive axle so what I'm waiting you know the pin weight I guess at least I'm under the assumption of this but the numbers I looked at the numbers for when the truck was empty and then the truck with the empty camper then the truck with the camper with the water in there I think there's like 50 60 gallons in their water so obviously that made a big difference in the weight.

 

[AH64ID]

Moving the pin weight forward will put some of it on the front axle, so the rear axle weight should go down. You gained 100lb on the front axle, that had to come from somewhere.

Hey guys big question the display on my 2019 is saying not to change my oil yet but what is our oil change interval on the new Ram Cummins Diesels I have over six thousand miles and its saying oil life 50 percent so can we run longer oil life or what?????????????

I want to say this is only on the 2019 trucks guys?????????


Stuart

 

[AH64ID]

15K miles or sooner if told by the truck.

Never hurts to do the first change early.

Oh!! no, this should start a good one he comes the Azzoil guys . AGAIN !!!!!

The point was that by reversing the base it seems to have stopped some of the pogo effect and by reversing the Coupler that seems to have increased the suspension travel on the trailair, also as you guys know I was not a fan of the ALT ride height but since the Northpoint seemed be be a bit higher I said lets just give it a try.

Well it seems all the changes and now having the weight in front of the CA seemed to put all the pieces in a good chain so to speak and I must say I have not taken it off Alt Ride Height since yesterday and am now a fan of ARH so my search has ended lol one thing that does scare me is I think I have about 110 PSI in the airbag but its up to the line on the Trailair and it moves up and down smooth as butter I just hope I dont blow up the airbag lol that would be a real BLAST.

By the way does it look level in the photo from this morning I can lower it to the next hole on the aluminum ball.

Looks a little high in the front? Not the best angle to tell. Lower one hole

Yea but you are "TRYING" to improve the ride!!!
