Glad you got it in. It was the VERY first upgrade with our unit. Make a copy of the error code list and tape it to either the back of cabinet door or the door to the power center for easy reference.

Thanks, cheap insurance for sure. Yes I have the card on inside cabinet door But making a copy is a great idea.

How does the Tunder pull the 2850? Im starting small with a 19RR @4k dry I see your at 6k dry?

Thanks

Clifford does well with Woodstock. 7500 loaded. 60-62 is sweet spot as it drops to 4th or 3rd to the peak of power band. Added AFE intake and TRD exhaust and pulls hills pretty easy now. Sumo springs was a great upgrade also. Other campers with some smaller units had complained that they get bogged up certain grades but we didn't have any issues. I think they were scared to put foot into it. Wish had a higher payload.

Tweety's $234 + $9.99 shipping = $243.99
Amazon $238 + Free shipping + 6% sales tax = $252.48

Just sayin'

Bluewoo,

Nice install, this is my next upgrade after my tire issues get resolved. I've been looking at the Progressive Industries unit. Is there a difference in model numbers with the hard wired 30 amp with remote display?....that is a good price

I think its just amazon goofed up maybe?? Look at two first items listed and you decide, both are the same.....
Yes amazon collects for all states now http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=200787680

Bluewoo,

Thanks for the pics...one question...is that install directly behind the power distribution panel? It makes a lot of sense, to me, to put it there...but on some other sites they don't recommend putting this device after the generator transfer switch...in fact in the install video, they install it before the transfer switch. Have you experienced any issues when a generator is supplying power to your trailer since this install?
