    I meant double check the other measurements, from the ball, the bumper, and the camera.

    Battery Replaced Under Warranty-Heat Shield not Replaced

    I would think you want the heat shield. Heat kills batteries.

    2019 HD Trailer Backup System Failures

    Is the entire sticker within the 7"-22" distant from the center of the ball?

    2019 HD Trailer Backup System Failures

    I don't know what trailer you are using, but I do know that some Airstream owners have had problems with the backup system. Apparently all the shiny aluminum of an Airstream confuses the camera as it tries to locate the sticker.

    2019 HD Trailer Backup System Failures

    I've been backing up trailers for over 40 years. I never tried the trailer assist until the other day, just for laughs, on my little kayak trailer that is really hard to backup. It's pretty amazing and works very well. I'd say clean the cameras as others have said and if that doesn't work try...

    Power Running Boards Acting Funny

    When I picked mine up from the selling dealer they said it's a common problem but usually cured by hosing it off. They said that's what they mostly have to do to get them working again (and they don't charge for it if that's all it is!)

    Towing mirror questions 2020-2021

    What are you towing? If it's a camper or similar type of trailer, put a rearview camera on the trailer. No blind spots, total coverage. Period.

    Trailer Backup Assist

    Exactly. I don't plan on relying on it. It would be an asset for inexperienced towers.

    Trailer Backup Assist

    I've been pulling trailers for over 45 years. Horse trailers, boats, campers, I really never have a problem backing up. I have a kayak trailer however that is pretty squirrely. So today I thought I'd set it up on Backup Assist to see how that worked. Amazing! d. I think one of the problems is...

    Upgrade towing

    Is that dry weight or the trailer's max weight? And if it's dry, exactly how dry- do they include LP tanks and other things in the weight? Our Airstream has a max weight of 7300 lbs, but fully loaded for travel it weighs about 6600. Unfortunately the only real way to know these things is to get...

    Towing mirrors for 2020 Expy

    If you have a box trailer or a travel trailer, just use a rearview camera. No blind spots anywhere.

    2nd row captain chairs versus 2nd row split bench with dogs?

    They fold flat with the rest of the area.

    2nd row captain chairs versus 2nd row split bench with dogs?

    We had Rotties for 20 years- but that was 20 years ago. Now we have a Border Collie and a Pyrenean Shepherd. No kids. We travel for a couple of months each year pulling our Airstream and the dogs come along. When we bought our Expy we wanted a bench 2nd row but ended up with captain's chairs...

    Car alarm goes off

    True, but it's illegal when done under dangerous conditions- such as extreme heat or cold. There are a lot of times when it's ok.

    Car alarm goes off

    On my 2019 the selection does not stick. When you restart the car it defaults all perimeter sensors.

    OK one more time - blindspot and RV

    I had a similar problem. I think I solved it, but I'll see when I take the trailers out of storage in the next couple of weeks. I'll watch this thread.

    Bumper Opening to Hitch

    It hasn't been a problem for me.

    I wasn't clear. I'm saying the vehicle alone steer axle weight should be close to the weight distributed front axle weight. I always use the tape measure method on initial set up, and it's usually very close. I had to adjust by half a link on my Reeese Dual Cam to dial it in.

    The way to REALLY know if the set up is correct is to do three passes on the scales. 1. Just the tow vehicle. 2. Vehicle and trailer with no weight distribution, with three separate weights ( steer, drive, trailer) 3. Vehicle and trailer with weight distribution, with three separate weights (...

    No problems. Good power uphill, the tow/haul mode finds all the right shift points and does excellent engine braking on the down hills. It's a great tow vehicle and very comfortable.

    Our 25' Airstream has a max of 7300lbs. It weighs 6600 fully loaded for travel. We travel with two adults, two dogs, two bikes and other stuff in the Expy. Using a weight distributing hitch every thing is within limits, verified on scales.

    Advise occupants?

    It is notifying you that SYNC is tracking your whereabouts. It wants you to know that so your girlfriend can get out of the car.

    Cargo Cover?

    I never used the ones that came with my other vehicles. I took them out and only put them back in when I sold the vehicles.
