Tremors and Campers let's talk camping!!

Doesnt The Soft Start "Void" The Dometic Warranty? I SO Badly Want To Run Both On 30Amp.... We Just Passed Our 1 Yr Of Ownership On A 2021 30RB International... (Bought The Xtended Warranty) On The Hull And All Appliances... Thoughts? Thx 🇺🇸
I’ve heard that but can’t say for sure, but wanted the ability to run one off a small generator (more so than both off 30A) so we’ll see how it goes.
 
We stayed in the dealers lot last night and it was AWESOME! We added a soft start to the 15k BTU AC and were able to run both units off of 30A service.
We just upgraded to the penguin ll 15BTU and it gets nice and cold what kind of soft start set up are you using ?
 
Furminator works great too. I use it on my GSD and my Mal.
Thanks I’ll check this out as well.

We have a GSD & a Husky so constant fur balls everywhere, but we love the Hell out of both of them so it’s worth it!
 
Another trip in the books Stephen F Austin State Park in Texas

Glad to know that is a thing. In our motorhome, we only run one AC at a time when on 30A. When we are on 50A, I still only run 2 of the 3. My wife uses the rest in the kitchen....
 
NickinColorado, it's a Backcountry 21RWS. They have lots of pics on their website. The Backcountry series has the heavier suspension, 100 gallon fresh tank, the generator, 80 lbs of LP, and most dealers order them with 300 watts of solar. Hardly ever use the genny but it is nice to have when needed. I've dragged it up and down some rough roads with no problems other than I got too cocky once and dragged a rear stabilizer. I bent it back and it still works.
I’m very familiar! That’s the one I’m planning on picking up next year. Any complaints?
 
Camping at Kentucky Lake. Beautiful place and people.

Did find a nail in one of my trailer tires. Changed it out at the campsite with the spare. Always an adventure when camping. 😅
 
What an awesome spot. I need to find some nice spots directly on a lake like that.
Man, I lucked out. I picked this site online in like Feb with no knowledge of this park. But I told my wife I did hours of research...
 
So I took a 2 week trip my dad and sister down to Dallas to visit some family and friends down there and stopped in Kansas City on the way back to see some more family there. Did around 3k miles round trip and the Tremor handled it well.

I only got one photo of the trailer setup even though I told them to remind me when we were at the different camp sites. We spent a week in Lavon at Lavon lake around an hour east of Dallas in a COE federal campground and it was really nice. We were right on the lake only like a hundred yards away. There was always a nice breeze and nearly no bugs.

I did do the second oil change at 5k during the trip and it was easy with the fumoto valve. Didn’t have any issues during the trip and the 6.7 was a beast but I noticed my def gauge is not working correctly or it’s extremely inaccurate. It would say full and I’d put in 2 or so gallons at a truck stop. It also said just over half and I put in 5 or so gallons.

I did have a little issue with my weigh safe wd hitch. I have to give them a call and figure out what’s going on. There is a plastic piece that I’m guessing keeps the adjustable part of the wd spring arm adjuster from hitting or rubbing the main body of the hitch and it broke. It broke during shipping too and they sent me a new one, I’m hoping it won’t be a recurring issue.

The other issue I had with it was I’d adjust how much weight was distributed while parked level and later check it when fueling up and it would be different. So I kept going back and forth from too much to too little until eventually I think it settled in the range the app gives. Odd issue and I’m not sure what could be causing it.

Otherwise I like the hitch and love that I can open the tailgate all the way without bumping. Weigh safe’s customer service is pretty good too so I’m sure they’ll get it sorted out.

What was your rough mpg during your trip?

Around 10. Ranging from 8 to 15 depending on how hilly it was, all mpg was hand calculated. I was right at 18,000 pounds with trailer and cargo. Not bad considering I usually get around that without towing.

That's pretty good! I just spoke with a guy at Costco that had a 2019 F-250 Platinum (non-Tremor) and he was getting 11.2 with his 14,000 lb 5th wheel. Our little TT is only about 7,500 lbs. so I'm hoping we can get roughly 13-15 average. Thanks for the reply!
