Re: Torklift battery box initial review
I installed mine late last week after returning from an 850 mile excursion with my 1985. I agree with your review 100%, including the part that "I'm very happy with it". I like it because everything goes into the box and there is plenty of room, and it only needs one function to unlock it versus undoing the box straps. I purchased the box designed for two six volt batteries even though I'm running two group 24's. I also replaced the locks (plural because I also own the propane lock system,...

Re: 2014 Pismo Beach Rally - 4/3/2014 - 4/8/2014
Hi Engunir, The rally will probably only have Lance owners and anyone else who is interested in Lance are always welcome to stop by or camp with us! We don't have any vendors scheduled, but they're always welcome. Our knowledge base is pretty experienced, so if you or any attendees have any questions we are always there to answer any questions. To date, we have a whale watching trip planned and then there are always wine tasting trips, potluck dinners and such. We also plan on driving at...

Re: B-D RV Battery Lock (12-volt)
Serge - I just went out to the garage & checked. It is a group 27 "Attwood 'Power Guard' Battery Case". I have had 2 of them for at least 10 years so hopefully they are still in production.

Re: B-D RV Battery Lock (12-volt)
I looked online and Amazon carries the Atwood 'Power Guard' Battery Case so does Wal-Mart. After struggling to put mine in and Frankenstein-them into submission I don't like they look. I'm covering the TT in the morning until March or April, so over the winter I'll get some angle iron and fabricate a new one, or modify the existing one. I was planning to call Bill Fox on Monday just to ask what battery box was used to fabricate his brackets. Now I know that the Atwood fits like a glove.

LPG Tank Check
Camping World Link to LPG Tank Check I got the LPG Tank Check today. It took abou 2 second to install and so far seems to work great. I installed the phone app and mounted the included little display near the door about 15 feet from the tanks. Everything connected right up and seems to be working. Of course, time will tell so I'll post an update after I have more actual experience using them with tanks at different levels and such. Here is a screen shot from my phone of what I called "Left...

Re: Trojan 30XHS 12-volt group 30 deep-cycle battery (130 AH)
It's a great battery Kent. I am extremely happy with it. And it actually fits in a group 27 box (which fits in the TT's stock battery tray with no modifications) - http://www.attwoodmarine.com/s...y-Box-Power-Guard-27

Re: Trojan 30XHS 12-volt group 30 deep-cycle battery (130 AH)
A good choice! Is the 66-70 lb weight ever an issue being too much for one person to handle alone? The SCS225 battery is more of a marine battery, meaning it is designed to deliver high amps. Do you know how your 30xhs bulk, float, and equalize voltages compare to what your converter/charger puts out, or your solar charger if you have one?

Re: Trojan 30XHS 12-volt group 30 deep-cycle battery (130 AH)
Red, I am in the process of buying the same battery and a battery box. According to specs, t he atwood box you use is about 1/10 of an inch shorter in length than this battery, so I was going to buy a larger box, that has a bit too much extra room, and I am concerned it might not fit in the 1575 mounting area due to more width (I dont have my trailer yet so cant measure it). Is it a very tight fit lengthwise, perhaps a concern, or perhaps limiting tthe necessary ventilation?

Trojan 30XHS 12-volt group 30 deep-cycle battery (130 AH)
Picked up one of these today - http://www.trojanbattery.com/product/30xhs/ With our 1575 and the way that we load it (tongue-mounted bike rack with 3 bikes & 7.5 gallon/30 lb. LP tank) we run with a single battery on the tongue. *We dry camp and have solar &/or generator's depending upon the trip so a single battery has worked well for us for almost 16 years now. Through my work I accrue points towards purchases at certain places. One of them being Battery Systems (where I only had 4...

Chemical Guys - TORQ Foam Cannon & Honeydew Snow Foam Wash
How It Works: Professional detailers and hardcore enthusiasts wash dirt from cars as gently as possible. The wrong touch pushes dirt around and grinds ugly scratches and swirls into the shiny finish. The TORQ Professional Foam Cannon Snow Foamer adds a blanket of super-slick and slippery car wash suds to lubricate any abrasive dirt particles. Prepare the TORQ Foam Cannon by filling the soap solution tank with water, then add 1-3 ounces of your favorite Chemical Guys car wash soap. Gently...

Re: Bow to Stern (BTS) Protectant
UPDATE Completed the job today with great results, other than certain areas of baked graphics. Did the cleaner/wax routine twice to frontal area and street side areas not done yesterday, then applied BTS 3 times with brief drying periods between and buffed as last step. All areas of white siding really do look as new which is amazing since this trailer has never been covered nor detailed since new Feb 2011. BTS helped those decal graphics "pop" except for gold tone stripes exposed to...

Re: 2013 Lance 2385
Our 1885 is listed as a 2014, but was built in 2013. Our slide very likely is the same as your 2385. What are you needing to know? We did have to have the slide bolted into the wall as it had an issue with the frame pulling away from the outer wall. We did lighten the load in the drawers to less than 50 lbs each, which is what Lance recommends, this includes the outer storage area. Otherwise, we haven't had problems with it. Attached is Lance's 2013 brochure that may give you some info.
