We have used this vendor for electric cords. They have good prices and ship fast. Here is link to 15' 30 amp extension cord that may meet your needs

so hopefully the same, but with more dead space... wad just looking for anyone that knew on the 1801FB ??
My best guess is they are very similar. Only two small screws hold that divider panel cover in place. Ours is about 10-12 inches of dead space. U can remove the inboard screw and peek in the space. That divider is very flexible.

A few colorado pics. Estes Park is at 7500 feet. We were camped at about 8k feet.


You two sure have good taste in travel trailers.

Agreed. Considering a mobile SSB Radio. Any recommendations?

Am I the only one scratching my head about these generator prices?
I paid about $300 for my Champion 3500/4000w generator on Amazon Prime with free delivery. I know it's not quite as quiet as some but it's quieter than a lot out there. Has the standard R30 RV plug.
What am I missing for $1,000 less?

Our Minnie has almost 15,000 miles on it and has not had any uneven tire wear but I think it is time to do the job in the back yard. What exactly did you search for on YouTube?


Bigbird or Bob

We have a 2017 2401RG, is this the same part number for replacement bushings for it? If not how do I find what I need?

Thanks

Those are the only ones listed in the Never Fail design. I just now measured the width of the leaf spring at the front end with my digital caliper. It is 1.758". The reason that I measured the spring is because it wraps around the bushing. The width of the exposed threads on the bolt is 0.430". If yours measures approximately the same then the bushings listed should be correct. Let me know what you find out. I feel pretty sure all of the bushings in the Minnies are the same.

On a side note, I found out recently that the 2106 has torsion bar axles. No bushings. Live and learn.

I have the 3500 lb Lippert axles on my camper and the Neverfail bushing listed by Bigbird were the right ones for my camper. I got the pack of 14 for my duel axles. The 2401RG is very close in size to my camper and I'm sure they have the same axles. You can call the helpful folks at etrailer.com and they will steer you in the right direction.

TDI, I think it comes down to personal preference and/or intended use. In my case I chose an inverter generator (3100 Champion) for the reduced noise level. With the generator in the bed of the truck to power up the Minnie we do not have to stop at RV parks for rest stops when headed to a destination. The Champion you purchased is just too loud for my primary intended purpose. With the A/C on I barely hear the generator. Some of my friends that tow around 5th wheelers have the 4375 watt (120V only) version of your generator and all are pleased with their purchase.

Measured them this morning and they are the same as your measurements. Placed order with etrailer this morning.

We just got back from AK and trailer now has about 14,000 miles. Will see if bushings look as bad as yours did.

Thanks for the help.

I use a Yaesu FT-857D in my trailer, I do not have HF in the truck. However, I did have it installed in my previous vehicle (Nissan Xterra) with the ATAS-120A antenna. I was very pleased with the performance.

If I were to buy a new radio, it would be the Yaesu FT-891.

Yaesu FT-891 Product Reviews

I use a Yaesu FT-7900R in the trailer for VHF/UHF. I have a Comet SBB-25 antenna mounted on a Diamond motorized antenna mount which is attached to the roof ladder. The setup works really well and I don't have to climb the ladder to raise and lower the antenna.

FYI, I only live 5 miles for Universal Radio, I'm in ham heaven.

When you do the job, be sure to post some photos.

David and Dave I still have a Yaesu FT-301 that has been mobile all over the country but not currently in a vehicle. Got my Amateur Radio license in June, 1959.
