Hey Guys, not sure if allowed.
my 5th wheel's electric breaks are not working properly. They fire but not hard enough. they do fire harder when the gain is turned all the way up but not enough to break and the emergency break away switch does not work at all when pulled.
it does appear to be a trailer waring issue, does anyone have any ideas?
thanks
Edit: im 1400kms's from a shop that could fix it
- Tore all the factory wiring out and replaced with Redarc Manager 30 charger, Redarc TVMS and and Redarc RedVision display. All trailer wiring and inputs runs through the TVMS for control via app or display screen
- Replaced factory battery with Renogy 104AH Slim Lithium battery
- Replaced stock lighting with KingPin 40” LEDs
- Added HOWL 10lb aluminum propane tank
- Added Pelican case for hot water heater and water pump
- Replaced stock lock and roll hitch with Max Coupler hitch
- Replaced stock jack with Ark Xtreme 750 jack
- Mounted GFC V2 Pro RTT w/ custom clear roof
- Mounted ROAM 180 degree awning
To do list:
- Re-wire stock solar connections to Manager30 charger
- Wire USB-C socket panel to dc fuse panel
- Add heavy duty cables for alternator charging via Anderson plug
- wire water heater and water pump to Redarc TVMS
- Replace stock tent risers with aluminum struts and linear actuators for lowering and raising the RTT
On a time crunch to finish it all before the World Cup begins as I will be traveling to attend a few games and camping along the way.
I’m planning on taking my crf250f from Chicago to Columbia Missouri on my mdx. I’m wondering if anyone has been pulled over for not having extra lights and/or plate moved so it’s not blocked by the bike. I’m just thinking with crossing state lines they might get a hard on for me. I know people that have been pulled over just for cargo on their hitch so just seeing how paranoid I should be.
What ah size was best for your build? I definitely over did it, and glad I did!
This was the first time taking my trailer out after "completing" my build. As we all know tinkering and adding stuff is part of the fun!
Needed a mobile platform for my Lincoln electric SA-250 to do pipe fences. Was looking on marketplace for something basic and cheap, but came across an m1102 and had to have it. I bolted a 3/4” plate to the trailer using the generator mounting holes, then mounted the welder and bottles to the plate. I roughly estimate it weighs 3,300 lbs. With the m1102 GVWR being 4,200 lbs, that still gives me 900 lbs of payload.
I purchased an old Fleetwood E1 pop up camper and have made a lot of upgrades to it for boondock camping like lithium, solar, various repairs etc. I attempted to install a DIY mechanical parking brake and I’m having issues getting it to bite down enough to actually stop the trailer from rolling. I purchased Dexter “parking brake ready” electric brake assembly and a generic parking brake cable/housing and a generic lever. Install was easy. I even cut a cheater bar from tubing to get more leverage. What’s wrong here? Anyone attempt something like this?
Not sure if this is the appropriate sub or not.
