Re: Torklift battery box initial review

Steam_Guy ·
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,...

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...

Torklift lower Stable Loads

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...

If anyone who hauls a TC I suggest you get the Torklift stabile loads. What. a difference in handling. I love those babies. An easy install and for $200.00 is a cheap safety enhancement.

Torklift Lower StableLoads on a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 towing a Lance 1575

Red Barchetta ·
We recently switched TV's. We went from a more than adequate 2000 Lincoln Navigator with a self-leveling rear-end (air bags) which towed our 1575 easily straight and true to a more than adequate new-to-us 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab LTZ (V8, 5.3L, factory tow package, integrated brake controller, ...). *Here is the thread on our TV switch - http://lanceowners.hoop.la/top...ed-to-a-new-to-us-tv While the truck is much more than adequate to handle our small, skinny, & light 1575...

Torklift International PowerArmor Solar – product and installation review

MikeP ·
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...

Big E's List Of Recommended Camping Stuff

Big E ·
I thought I would make a list of stuff, products that have worked well for us. Some of the items are fan favorites, tried and true and widely used and accepted across the LOA spectrum of members. Others are little known, sleeper products if you will. Some have been passionately debated and others, not so much. Hope this list can be of use to somebody. To start things off simple, toilet paper. White Cloud Green Earth available at Wal Mart. Broke down more quickly than every other TP I tested,...

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

Thanks Randy. I don't think the fact that yours are tight with no load is an issue as you need to lift the rear end a bit (with a floor jack, curb, TT's tongue jack, ...) to engage & disengage the StableLoads before & after towing anyway. Though you might find when installing the first StableLoad that just 2 (or 1) wedges is better for your truck. However, the bracket does seem like an issue - not only because of its location, but also if it is wrapped around all of the springs. I'm...

Frank - You have StableLoads?! I'm surprised that Torklift didn't know that. I (& they) thought that I was the first non-TC LOA'er to use them. Awesome! I am glad to hear about your results and tips. I'm also glad to find that I'm following in your footsteps. So it sounds like you first tried 2 wedges and have now moved up to 3 (like I have). What didn't you like about having just 2 wedges? And I'm glad to know that I'm on the right track with planning to use the electric tongue jack...

Torklift knows that I have them, as does Roger (Logboy). We were testers for them years ago. They didn't have a dealer network that knew how to install them back then. Sheryl knows about my install, and the dealer problems we had. I am moving up to 3 fingers because I have a little more rear end drop than I should with just 2 blades installed. The original installer didn't really know what he was doing, and I knew even less, so he set me up with 2. I'm going to try 3 and see how I like it.
