Tagged With "Stainless Steel Lower"

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...

Let me start of by saying that I am in no way affiliated with Hitches & Things and do not stand to make $.01 from any sales of this item. I did pay for the design fees for this custom made hitch so that the LOA community could buy a Lance hitch cover. I purchased this from Trevor who is the owner and operator. Per his website, "Hitches & Things is based out of Chehalis, WA. It is a company owned and operated by a disabled veteran who is proud to support a variety of charities across...

In map view, it's usually in the upper right or lower left. I don't have the same model Garmin as Mike, but I've had three Garmins in the last 10...

Wego and Bruce, After looking at the picture I did locate the scale in the lower left on mine. I didn't know exactly what I was looking for previously but the picture helped. This is my 1st. Garmin and I am still learning all the features it offers. Mike

I just purchased an 1172. I have it mounted on a 2014 RAM 3500 dually. I do have a sway bar and air bags installed. I was only able to drive the camper home and then put it away for our WI winter. I am thinking of putting on the stable loads. Do I need upper and lower? Thanks

I ride with a reasonable facsimile for the upper and lower stable loads and it works well. I found my air bags caused most of my sway issues, so I do not inflate them.

Just ordered our own. We have canopies on our truck here in AK as well as the one in the Lower 48. Hitching is always troublesome. I had planned to wait till we reunited with our trailer to buy, but then I went out into the driveway here in AK to hitch up the boat.... Dawning of the light! Buy it here, use it for the boat, then pack it for the trip south and use for the trailer. Why own two units when this one is so mobile?

BIG E, Your new toilet the foot flush on ours in the 5'er is on the other side. The ball valve will act up with age. I am having to replace ours for the second. By the way the inside bowl is it plastic or china bowl? Ours is the china bow. Now the TC that is a different critter, does not hold its water it leaks through the slide mechanism straight into the black tank. Have you tried super fine steel wool to remove the rust stain on the floor. Just a thought I had. Nice work on the install...

I used Peek polish on a piece of stainless steel yesterday. I was able to get a mirror finish on it quickly. I highly recommend it for metal polishing.

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.

A final wrap-up - Towed up and over Donner Pass (7,000+') today with the rig completely loaded (including our 5th wheel chest full of 3 cases of H2O, half a case of ale, generator, gas, etc.... Rock solid! For our truck and TT lower StableLoads are perfect! Here are a few shots taken at the Gold Run rest area near Colfax, CA on I-80 (The Love's semi dwarfs our rig, ha) -

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...
