  1. Too late in season? Staying 7 days in West Yellowstone, Montana then to Flagg Ranch for 4 days. What would be the easiest route between these two points towing a 35' fifth wheel? Thanks in advance. This is my first trip out west and don't want to get myself in trouble in the mountains.
  2. I have a 2012 Bighorn 3070RL. The paperwork I have says the converter is an Inteli Power PD9200 Series (unsure of exact model number). We came back after an overnight to find both house batteries dead, no lights and no DC power to refrigerator. First thing this morning I replaced both batteries. I now have 12.5 volts DC, but no indication that the converter is charging batteries. (I checked DC voltage across battery cables and reading was 0.) I checked the DC fuse panel and could not find a fuse for the battery/converter or anything that looked like it might be applicable. Is there a fuse somewhere that I may be overlooking? We have been in our fifth wheel for some time now, and I haven't changed anything so I didn't hook batteries up backwards or anything and can't think of anything that would have caused a short. Please keep answers as simple as possible since my knowledge of electricity might fill one line on this post. Thanks in advance. Doug
  3. I have a 12 gallon gas/electric Suburban water heater. It works fine on gas, but on electric it doesn't heat the water as hot as I would like or as hot as it used to. I changed the heating element but that didn't help. I understand the thermostat for electric is not the same as the thermostat for gas. Is the thermostat adjustable? Would replacing the thermostat solve the problem? Or could there be something else? Thanks.
  4. Sorry about not posting a picture. I'm new at this forum thing. Here is a picture of the truck with my fifth wheel attached. Actually it seems to be towing pretty level.
  5. Thanks for your input everyone. Tomorrow morning I pick up my new 2018 RAM with Aisin transmission and 4:10 rear end. Pretty excited, but somewhat concerned with how high the bed rails and tailgate set from the ground. Anybody have problems with this?
  6. Long time reader, first time poster - so take it easy on the new old guy. 😊 We just bought our 5th wheel (2012 Bighorn) and am now looking for my truck. It may be overkill, but I have decided to buy a 3500 dually (GVW of 5th wheel is 14,000). I have never owned a diesel truck and am looking for recommendations as to which rear end to get. I was thinking 3.73, but found a good deal on a new one with a 4.10. How bad will this hurt me on mileage when just driving the truck around town? How about when towing? I know there will be differing opinions, but that's OK. We're hitting the road in mid June and I am just trying to get my ducks all in a row. Thanks in advance for your help.
