I have been known to pull harder than usual on the release handle. Love it when I don't have to, but I'm willing to. I also have a can of spray lube always handy. Dry silicone or Houdini, that get used at the start of every trip. A few weeks ago, a buddy and I were up in the Sierra Range on...

The McHitch is only difficult to release if it is still under load. And if it is not lubed as directed. You should not be releasing it under load, but if you must, it is simply a matter of lifting the release handle with a little more force. And again, lube the mechanism before each trip...

Couple of points: You may be making the common mistake of bigger is better with the 3000 watt inverter. Why do you need this and have you considered the stand by losses or waste heat? If bigger is better, then why not get a 10K model? The Anderson hitch, in my opinion, is a poor design and...

Nice. Consider adding a McHitch to really make using it easy. And you can still use a WDH if you'd like.

I agree completely about recommendations and tips. Nothing wrong with giving a dealer a pat on the back for excellent customer service or fair pricing. I'm just against internet posting of what might be fake offers in order to start a bidding war. And to be clear again, I am not opposed to...

Totally agree on the original crappy location of the panels. As well as the crappy installation work while putting them there. But there was no way they were going to fly off, they were very difficult to remove on mine. Why did you wire the new ones in series? Was it because you'd have too...

I get tired of being accused by those unwilling to honestly engage and that have an agenda of their own. Or those promoting hate. If you are unwilling to honestly have a conversation, and always looking for proof of your fantasies with fake examples, what you are actually doing is calling me a...

I don't have any reason to try to please you, and who assigned you the duty of evaluating my posts? If my honesty offends you, too bad.

Wow. An honest dealer who understands their customers. Be careful. Around here dealers are all assumed to be dishonest. It's a notion so many have a hard time letting go of. Even customers who are not mad, are suspected of being secret agents for unscrupulous dealers.

Oliver is one manufacturer that only sells direct to customers and has a very good reputation. I bought one and know them well. I speak highly of them when asked by potential customers, but I don't work for them, and they don't need my help to survive. And if you think ROA needs my help or...

There is more to the best deal than simply price. And it's not a good idea to pit one dealer against another by making false comparisons about price in order to set up a bidding war. Anyone can do their own research on line or by phone or in person. Forums are best used to simply make...

Putting all dealers in the same category of not worth their salt, is a very shallow and uninformed view of how things actually work. If you don't know how to shop, compare, negotiate and avoid being taken advantage of by certain dealers, that's your problem. If you can't understand that all...

If you have the conventional American style triangle tongue with integrated ball and jack mount, it will require modification to allow the 2 1/8" X 7 1/4" rectangular Australian hitch bolt pattern. A plate is usually welded on top of the tongue to bolt the hitch to. Typically, it also requires...

If you ever get to the point of working on a Black Series, get ahold of me and I'll help you zero in on a number of electrical trouble spots. These include the mysterious blinking tail light problem, the breakaway battery charging problem, the power relay problem, the intermittent electric step...

The telescoping bar type of sway bar is fine with McHitch. But it will have to be disconnected for off-road use simply because the articulation may be more than the sway bar can accommodate. When they say to disconnect them while backing up, i think they are assuming a jackknife that might...

The poor wall veneers crack. Many thought this was a structural problem, but is is a cosmetic problem. One fix is to use stick-on tiles to cover the poor looking cracks. Mine barey had any of this problem, but i kept it under cover as much as possible and cool inside as much as possible. In...

I don't know why you think you would need to replace the BS suspension with Cruisemaster. Why? Yes, the stock shocks are junk, and the brakes are too, but that's it. The swing arm system is good for rough roads. And they use standard 5200/6000 lb bearings, seals, drums and backing plates...

Having a "public forum" does not mean having a free-for-all. The most successful forums have a set of strict rules that must be adhered to. Rules of decorum promote success. "Public" does not mean anything goes. And who said I delete posts? You said it, not me. Try reading the forum rules...

I guess you are referring to me. Maybe you are unfamiliar with the terrible reputation that some dealers have and that certain brands have. The Xplore Trailer Community site is dedicated to being an honest public forum that helps with all kinds of problems and does not show favoritism to any...
