Tow vehicle tires
parrothead7368 aka Norm replied to rtguy007's topic in Camper Suggestions: from tents to Class A beauties
But you look really cool.......haha Best Regards, Norm -
You know, I just remembered, that my inline fuse blew at the battery as well when I brought our new Jayco home last May. I changed it and it hasn't happened again. I don't know if it had to do with the trailer jack or not, but like I said, it has been fine since. Glad you found the problem and if the other dealer finds anything more, I'd be interested in the findings as well. Best Regards, Norm

I have a 2013 Yukon XL with tow package, I have a 3.42 rear and I tow a Jayco X23F. It tows that no problems. If you just go to the 3.42 and add cooling package, you should be in the same place I am. Factory was 3.42 and max towing was 7900 for 4WD and 8100 for 2WD for 2009. Best Regards, Norm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New PUP tires
parrothead7368 aka Norm replied to Travisma's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
I don't think you would have a problem, but the PSI would change. There should be somewhere on the tire that has max pressure cold. Looks like load range C would me 90#. If you don't do proper pressure it could be underinflated and have problems with the tire. Best Regards, Norm -

4.8X80 at 60 PSi would be a load range B. http://www.etrailer.com/Tires-and-Wheels/Redline/480TW5-B.html Best Regards, Norm -
Looks correct, not a big fan of the wiring job though, a little too much electrical tape in my opinion. The use of heat shrink wrap and wire loom would have been nice, look a little professional about it will ya. Looks like a wiring job I would have done when I was 10. Ok off my soap box. They may have hooked it up backwards originally and saw their mistake and fixed it possibly? Is there only one wire going to the negative? I swear I have two on mine. Thinking out loud and spitballing. Does your electric tongue jack work when not plugged in? Best Regards, norm

Reservation fiasco

Did you check into Spirit out of AC? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Yes that fuse is the inline fuse I was talking about. Leave it in while it's plugged in and when the battery is charged just remove it and put it somewhere you won't forget. You can add a battery shutoff that will do the same thing as taking the fuse out. Best Regards, Norm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm going to guess that the battery was new, but has been on the trailer for a while. There are things in your camper that will run a battery down, for instance the radio light, propane detector, etc. You probably don't have a battery disconnect, but you may have an inline fuse that you can remove that won't let anything suck power from the battery when sitting. You can recharge your battery easy enough by just plugging into you house. The battery should recharge and you should be fine. Just remember to take the fuse out after you are done so it won't discharge again and remeber to put it back

This is a guy who kept my mom up most the night last year at Gettysburg Campground and than proceeded to fall asleep on the table all night. I took care of him by letting the four children play.........loudly...........next to the table. He figured it out the next night. Best Regards, Norm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

#piggybacksmartcar would be good and just get a vinyl sticker and put it on the side of your truck. Best Regards, Norm -

This one is my favorite, "I would sit in the car and just wink at people and put my finger up to my lips like shhhhh" Best Regards, Norm
