    New camper - Sag issue

    I could be wrong, but I believe the data card on the side of camper accounts for propane and batteries. Obviously pending any mods by previous owner (bigger tanks, more batteries etc.) Also, if possible, don't travel with a full fresh water tank. It's unnecessary weight. Fill up when you get...

    New camper - Sag issue

    Have an rv shop set up that WDH. Load bars should be near parallel to ground from what I've been told. Also, is there a lot of gear inside Expy? Anything behind rear axle is considered "tongue weight"

    How to reduce towing sway

    Not so much tire size but look for a higher load range/index. I have Firestone Destination LE2(?) on my '13 with a load index of 111 which is normal for a highway tire. They're nice but I'm looking to move up to a 117 load index. These can handle a little bit more weight and should "square"...

    Ignoring the tongue weight (max cargo/payload)?

    For what it's worth my '13 EL happily pulls our Roo 233S (6000 lb) with a family of 5 inside. Little "trick" we learned, put luggage in camper over axle. Let the truck pull it. Side note, the 233s floor plan will sleep 10(technically) and is a reasonable size. No, I don't work for a camper company

    Any opinions on US made/owned tires for my needs? '14 4WD.

    A few hours west of you in Syracuse. Almost any truck you look at here is running Cooper Discoverer AT3. Great all-around tire. Quite on highway, but aggressive enough for our winters. We visit the Cape every year and considering some of the road tires I've seen on the beach these will do fine...

    Power running boards malfunction

    Mine just started doing the same thing. Last time I "helped" it the rest of the way and turned them off. I'm curious as to what the answer is

    How much can I "safely" tow with 2016/2017 Expedition EL Limited with HD Tow Package?

    Our camper has a GVWR of 6310 lbs. Family weighs in in a similar bracket. Then we add beer, roof top box of firewood, kids drinks, and fishing stuff to Expy. Between the trailer brake and the tow/haul mode everything seems safe and sound. As far as safe handling, I think you'll be OK. Could a...

    Camper weight

    I was under the impression that no change up front was OK because it meant no weight was removed either. Also, if front IS compressed some wouldn't that mean the back is being lifted too much?

    how can i lock the vehicle with engine running and walk away with key

    I have to punch in my entire code. Do you have a proximity key? My '13 doesn't. I agree with jkayca too. Maybe I misunderstood. I use the key pad if I'll be less than 5 minutes. Otherwise I turn it off.

    how can i lock the vehicle with engine running and walk away with key

    I use the keypad on drivers door to lock and unlock while engine is running. Keys stay in truck.

    Can you make this happen

    Anyone know if it's possible to make the user input default to Bluetooth? When I select user device from media button it always comes up to line in. Then I have to tap it to go to Bluetooth. Same thing if it was on Bluetooth and I turn engine off, it reverts back to line in. Thanks in advance.
