There is one for sale on the DRV owners group for sale FB page
you need to be a member there. But I sent seller a msg to look here for you.

I’ll just add that we have Hopper 3 and two wireless Joeys. Works great.
Also traveler with DPH 42.
Transfer equipment to house as well with outdoor dish antenna.
Hopper 3 is the best!

If they haven’t been off for a long time, might have to use the Hot wrench.

FWIW I picked up a Milwaukee 1/2 drive fuel impact at Home Depot. I was in need to get wheels off and this fit the bill at $250. I already had 5 Amp batts.
I know it’s not the higher rated impact of a 3/4” but it’s perfect for my use. It pounds off the lugs with over 1000ftbs and able to tighten them without over torquing but real close when torqued checked.
Came in handy on the Morryde suspension I had to replace.

It's preferable to mount a DPH42 switch inside your RV. Less environmental (sun, water) worries.
If you can route all three cables from traveler to inside to the switch then yes inside for sure.

Roof time sorry... Check the connections of the phone like cables. Corrosion is possible. They are under the return plenum. Where all cables and power wiring come in from ceiling up into unit.
Had same fault before no resets fixed.
Found totally corroded connection. Mine was on the # 3 AC rear, but had no zones showing and E1 fault. Fixed connection and was good.

Yes not bad job. Seats a bit awkward and heavy. An extra pair of hands are good.
I used the adapters and they were perfect. At least the ones I got were. No issues.
Air lines easy push pull.

I disagree, if you do not wash the old grease out so you may inspect the bearings for wear, how do you inspect the bearings?
Exactly, if you want to.

I think it’s a similar deal.

We put in Sears Elite 80 seats about 9 yrs ago. Replaced the stock Nationals that were shot.
Night and day. We like them.
Best price we found was Kenworth Atlanta. They were like $1300 a set. Although 9 yrs ago. 🤔

Call the guy. He will be sure you get right ones sized to the location.
I installed on cab bags first then got them for the rear bags and Air Hitch bags. I noticed a difference in the cab for sure. It slows the reaction on hitch up and down a bit.

I’ve always packed bearings in my hand. But I have 6 wheels to do. I recently picked up a bearing packer. I got the Gear Wrench one.
Load in the grease and easy to pack. About ten sec per bearing it’s done. Takes a bit of pressure but no issue. Can leave unused grease in it and put cap on. Also old grease pushed out of bearings no need to wash. Unless you want to.
-
Sounds like a great plan! Jack won’t lead you wrong. He will have very sound advice. Just as the ones so far posted on here.
Enjoy the process!

Been using the 12’ , 19” big boys ramps for 11 yrs no rub as long as use an offload area with bit higher on load side.
Even if a rub it’s minimal no issues. Mostly with me in car driving off. Almost never winching on.
May bed is a bit high with ramp storage under bed top of frame. -
Thanks for posting! Gives me the kick I needed to replace these things! Lol I hit my head all the time! Duh.
Ordered! Arrive Monday yay

We use TSD card and strictly truck stops. We plan our fuel stops based in best discount through the app.
Companies vary but we always save more than any non truck stop. Recently the savings have been around .60 or so off cash price. But we saw well over $1 last spring.
Were FJ GS users before. .08c discount. No more.

Our price lock was up end of Nov. we worked with loyalty dept and the $72 increase was erased. He was able to find several options to drop the rates and we are right where we were for past two years.
We lease our equipment so no changes there for us but we do have a reduction as we always had for Hopper 3 and two Joeys.
The best deal was for one year right now. He said to call back during the year to see if the two year programs get better. The often do.
This person was way better to work with than std CSR.
-
We were able to change service location to chase locals over tge past month and have them available. Three changes.
Was on phone with Dish Loyalty dept to get our rates adjusted after incentives ended. They took care of us and found out that Apollo has settled with Dish. So we were able to change back to the Local in Orlando and ABC was back along with the rest.
He mentioned that Nextsar(I think) should be settled in Jan sometime.

Like said check slacks , maybe get brakes inspected by a tech. I had glazed front drums and cracked shoes years ago , not long after we bought the truck. I had nothing to compare it to. But after replacing everything it was a new truck stopping.
On our truck with trailer connection plugged I prefer the feel of the brakes with trailer brake knob in all the time. I don’t like at all with it out. I feels like I’ll never slow down. Tractor protection valve.
That being said, I always try to never need the brakes allow that space to let the Jake do the job.

I’m still looking here for the pics of mice with boxing gloves on! 😉

I’m not afraid of spending a little money for a quality product, but $115 plus tax and shipping for a 50’ hose, sight unseen, is definitely a leap of faith...
I hear ya. Bit pricy I know. I will stick with them as the performance has been 100% better than any others we ever had. 12yrs plus still in use. I like two 25’ hoses. I see they are $62.50 now. I think I paid like $50 ea when I bought them. I’d still buy them now if I needed more.
I sell the Camco std hoses on our CG store for $20 for a 25’. That what most want to spend and own. All the leaking kinked up hoses we see on rigs are those type. Lol
-
Water filter store hoses custom made not crazy $. Have used these for over 12 yrs on our fifth wheel. Moved them to a park model and they are in 5th year. Using shorter hoses from them for softener etc.
They hold up very well. A new set are in use now on our current fifth wheel.

Thanks Mark!
1. Yes still use and refer to newbies from Facebook! Lol
2. I use IPhone primarily

Good work Jim! Sometimes you just get lucky, but picking up on the issue was skill on both your parts! 😉
What have I done...

Love the truck! Great job on the bed!
Nice floor plan on the Trailer! Congrats.
While you’re at Morryde , ask them to replace the stock bearings with Timkin USA bearings. It’s an option they offer on the IS install. You won’t regret it.
