I won a set of lower Stable Loads from Torklift and am sharing insight as to my experience so far.  I received them through the Golden Ticket contest.  Let me begin by saying prior to the Stable Loads I already added air bags, a sway bar and...

Question - If the jerrycan is sitting on the ground is this siphon strong enough to transfer the water uphill into the trailer/camper? I currently have (15 years now) and use a drill-powered fresh water transfer pump. It transfers 6.5 gallons in seconds.

It will not siphon uphill. Like any siphon, it needs to be lower than liquid being siphoned. I used it with a 7 gal water container shown here when my back went out and I could not lift it. I use it all the time to empty a 55 gal drum of water into my cabin cistern in about 10 minutes. when I draw water out of the stream, I find a place that is at least level with the water and have no problems pulling it. I have also used it to siphon gasoline from my truck to a container for my lawn mower.

Giles - No WDH/sway control with our small/light properly loaded/balanced 1575. Just the coupler on the ball. I did not have to change the ball height. The StableLoads when installed correctly keep the rear end at about the same height when there is nothing hitched up. You are ALWAYS welcome to stop by and see my setup in person. If you have any questions fire away. Does your truck already have the silly factory circular stops installed? If so, you won't need to drill anything which is a...

2 months ago yesterday we bought a new-to-us truck/TV - A 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab LTZ (V8, 5.3L, integrated brake controller, factory backup camera, integrated TPMS, remote start, ...), etc ... http://lanceowners.hoop.la/top...ed-to-a-new-to-us-tv I then bought a bed mat - http://lanceowners.hoop.la/top...9#550326589916257509 So last week I asked my fellow LOA'ers about 5th wheel boxes/chests. As it so happened JamesHB is the ONLY LOA'er who actually has one -...

A short while back someone asked what mods we would be looking to make in 2016. I mentioned I would like to make secure my two 12v Interstate batteries that are sitting on the tongue of our 1575. Shortly afterwards I was contacted by Kerstin at Torklift International who asked if I would like to evaluate one of their PowerArmor products for free. Of course I was more than happy to do so. I know that Plance has already documented a similar install but wanted to share my experience. Hopefully...

Jim, I think you could accomplish your mod. What you would need to do would be to buy two liquids jugs. Modify one of them by inserting a bottom drain. From the bottom drain you'd connect the line. You'd have to drill out the bottom side of the main unit and make a slit about 2 times the height of the line. Then you'd need to rout out a bit of the floor to accommodate the line as it feeds back under the head to drain into the black tank. The Oatey plug that you'd use to cap the tank will...

Jeff, excellent write up. I look forward to hearing the results from your upcoming trip. I will also add, I really wish the holes were already there on my overload springs. The kit came with 4 drill bits. It took 3 of them to get the holes drilled........

Thanks Erick! The trip is in 10 days. I will definitely be giving these a solid test & a thorough review. All - Erick is referring above to springs that don't have factory stops (& holes) on the ends of the springs. Torklift has a kit for that. However, it sounds like drilling the holes isn't as quick and easy as Torklift makes it sound. Here is the kit - StableLoad Quick Disconnect (Lower Overload) Part #A7311 (With drill kit) - http://www.torklift.com/index....stableload#drilltool

Frank - Sorry to hear of your installer issue. Especially now knowing that you could have handled it yourself with absolute ease. I can tell all LOA'ers that this is a doable install (unless you need to drill your springs like Erick did then maybe not). 1. Do all of the messing around with the first StableLoad (SL) in figuring out how many spacer washers to use for your spring thickness, which side of the spring you want the SL mounted/hinged on, which of the 3 small grouped holes you want...

I have many DVD's and TV Shows ripped to digital video in .mp4or .mkv formats.  I have a 2014 Lance 1191 with the Jensen entertainment system.  Both the TV and the Stereo have USB connections, but alas, they don't play video, just some audio...

I won a Power Armor Solar through the Torklift Golden Ticket program and  I am sharing my experience with this product.   Torklift's new POWER ARMOR SOLAR is an all-aluminum battery box with an integrated10Watt Zamp solar panel attached to...

Just bought one of these from Home Depot . I already own one of Ryobi's 18 volt ONE+ drill/drivers with two batteries, so it was a bit of a no-brainer. As it turned out, when I went to the service desk at Home Despot, they didn't have it handy, so they gave me $10 off because we had to wait for ages whilst they located one. So, it cost me $15 plus tax. Now, I already own a Viair 12V DC inflator, which has been great, except that unraveling the 12 V cable and 'raveling' it back up is a bit of...

thanks anyway, 4 small drill holes and screws and problem forever solved

We're going to try it next weekend and see how it works. The issue is we don't want to drill holes. When we sell/trade our TT (which we will one day) I want to be able to leave it in as pristine condition as possible - no holes, or mods that can't be undone, etc. Don
