I received that email a day or so before I read this post but I assumed it was spam, so I deleted it. It was unfortunate timing. Oh well.

Sound system output wiring correction

This is a problem that crosses models of trailers, years of manufacture, and brands of audio systems. Our 2020 ePro14fk has a Furrion audio system and had the two internal speakers wired in monaural,...

Truck specifications

How old are you speaking of? If it has a VIN number, the manufacturer should be able to provide the specifications of a truck they built. A local dealer should be able to look that up on their...

Something either was a improperly secured, a component failed, or was defective. That’s why we have properly installed and deployed safety chains.

Mine are color coded on my 2020 ePro 14fk

I would hope that the older models are similar, but who knows. We never had any doubt. As a matter of fact, we removed the labels on the bulkhead, since the levers were color coded.

There is a lot of debris, shown in your photo. You might wish to clean out the area before you attempt to heat your water, regardless.

The level gauges are not very accurate, definitely not precise. We fill the fresh water tank until it starts to overflow. Our little trailer has no black tank flush.

Aside from its very cold temperature, when ‘dry ice’ melts, it adds CO2 to the local airspace. Enough concentration will suffocate. I would not use it in an enclosed space. I don’t think I would dry...

E2 hitch noise abatement

We use a hitch and ball lube on the hitch ball and the trailer coupling that hooks over it. We bought the optional plastic covers for the points where the hitch torsion bars slide over the friction...

Shower technique

Another cause is taking showers with a continuous flow of water vs. intermittent flow. We do the latter and we’ve never had a hot water problem with a Suburban 6 gallon, which I believe is also the...

We have a single 200 AH LiFePO4 4D marine battery for our 14fk. It's far less expensive than two smaller batteries, but it did require a new battery box, but your 20 might have the batteries inside....

Crossing the Mississippi River around Memphis

The I55 bridge is a 4-lane bridge that is rusty and crumbling. It’s also 4 lanes, rather than the 6-lane I40 bridge.

We were just on the I55 bridge a few weeks ago and a fifth wheel seemed to have...
