Thanks so much! If you're still thinking about equipment needs, check out gotogethergofar.com. Just last night I added a link for a RV Gear List in the Menu. It has almost 80 items listed that you may want to think about. Some critical, some just for fun.
I just took a peak at your channel. You should add Hocking Hills, Ohio to your list of future camping locations. I am heading there again this October. I'm literally sitting here prepping my blog post for it. The John Glenn Astronomy Park is there, and it is amazing. All free, and the best star gazing in this part of the country. Happy camping!
Thank You!!! Your channel is great and the content I’m looking for. Your blog is awesome and covers lots of the stuff I have questions on. It’s already saved to my favorites. I purchased the same weight distribution hitch and is good to see you cover it in depth. Happy camping to you and the family as well.
I tried that at first when I had my blow out. The challenge I had was that my axles are round and there isn't a safe point to put the jack under. The slightest wiggle and the axel was slipping off the jack. It just felt so unsafe I couldn't do it. Now if I got my hands on some sort of attachment that let the top of the jack have a little notch to hold the axle, it would be much safer. Thanks for watching!
@@kylepetten You are correct, but it is fine if you jack it close to the end of the axle right next to the U-bolts. That is how most professionals do it also. I've been jacking there for years and it works much better than on the frame, which is very sketchy because of the height needed.
Using that telescoping lug wrench would be illegal in Canada for tightening lugs. They have to be torqued here, by law. Besides, it's really bad for your rims to over-tighten lugs (or use the wrong tightening pattern), and you can kill people if you don't tighten them enough. I worked for a trucking company, so I know something about the topic. And never, ever tighten in circular patterns. I read our GD manual, and they gave the wrong information for tightening patterns, so make sure you look up proper tightening patterns so you don't warp the rim. They aren't cheap to replace, and that's assuming you replace them before they cause an accident.
I knew about the pattern, but not about over-tightening. For my own education, is there a recommended torque? Or does it depend on your specific wheels?

Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I hope it helps.
Thanks for the video! I see you have a drain coming out of your refrigerator vent. Did you put that there or factory? Good idea!
That was factory installed. They generally all have them.
@@GoTogetherGoFar Mine has a drip pan inside the cover. I don't have a hose coming out through. I would prefer that. Might do it myself. Thanks.
@@GoTogetherGoFar I have the same tube running out of my vent also. Looks like a real half assed solution for such a nice looking RV..
Great video, new sub, trying to learn what to be thinking of, newer to RVing. Thanks again

We pick up the new to us TT this Saturday. Very excited to get out there with the family.

Best way to change for a single axle trailer?
Good video. I need to buy one of those tire-aid things. Looks awesome.
They are really helpful when you need it most.
It would be better to place the jack under the axle instead of the frame. Then you don't have to deal with such a long lift.

Says right in the manual not to jack under axle! Stay safe!
