    I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado (no lift) with a 2" receiver sitting at about 19" off the ground. The dealer installed the mchitch to a 2" Curt shank to get a 2" rise. At the time I was worried because when dry, the trailer was sitting a little high at the hitch. But with a full load it's almost...

    Mine came with a lock set for the retaining pin to prevent unhitching.

    Thanks for that info. I only pre-cooled for about 8 hours, so maybe I should experiment with a longer cool down. I plan on getting up on the roof this weekend and looking for dried out or loose caulk. What kind did you use to reseal? Yes, we've adopted a tilt forward setup (also helps to keep...

    Nice! Here's my wife's solution: velcro attachment. Needs a rollup bar like yours.

    Had a nice trip to the tidewater region of Maryland and Virginia. A couple of lessons learned: The refrigerator struggled in direct sunlight with temps above 80. On solar, I had it (the ICECO variant) set to eco mode with both sides targeted at 32 degrees F and it only got below 45 after...

    ROA generating FUD on the D15: They were hyping this rig on YT a couple of years ago, now it's "terrifying". I guess Palomino is the newest tail to chase.

    Thanks for doing the research on the struts. I just bought off of your recommendation. Now my locker pops up like...well I'll leave it there.

    Nevermind, it looks like the nut is welded or somehow affixed to the bracket and you just unscrew the nut on the ball stud.

    How did you get the ball stud off of the lower mounting bracket? I'm having a hard time finding a way to get a wrench in there to grab the nut.

    Cheaper than what I was looking at: https://safejacks.com/products/adjustable-bottle-jack-extensionvariant=1195442845 In addition to the extension (depending on your bottle jacks ram diameter) you might need the collar. Get's close to $100.

    I have a 4 ton bottle jack that extends about 14". That's not going to cut it for lifting the D15 at its lift point behind the tire. Does anyone know how much lift is required to change a tire on the D15? Is a jack extension a good way to get the extra height needed?

    Just back from a four day trip to Kentucky from Maryland in the D15. 1,500 miles through moderate mountains and paved country roads gave me some good experience in handling the trailer. Semi traffic on I81 was "interesting". Observations: Need to get the front locker struts replaced; it's a...

    I called OBi (had to go through their new sales option on the menu) and the person there told me I had to work through my dealer. My dealer (where do I begin) is probably the worst customer service I've ever dealt with for any product. So I doubt I'll be able to take advantage of my warranty. I...

    Weird coincidence. Mine came with tape like that sectioned and placed almost identically. Mine is double sided and it grabs the lid so hard I can't open it.

    You can see it in the last pic in your previous post. It's just added to the sloped part of the lid housing.

    So that black tape around the fan housing...that was SO sticky I couldn't crank the lid open. I ran a light coating of lithium grease over it to drop the tackiness. It almost looks like it was put on as an afterthought. Any reason to leave it there?

    Had the same issue; please report back on performance. I see from their website that they are out of stock. You must've ordered the last one. :)

    So THAT's why no matter how much I tightened the hose the damned thing still leaked! Thanks WillySwan, you're keeping me busy.
