![]() ![]() Mine also tends to bounce around a little when it has no load on it, not been able to sort that out just yet.So is it worth it? For me it was, i had nothing to start with and now have something. It doesn't appear to have any intelligence in it for that. The other features like the AH counter works on you telling it the capacity of your battery and then simply counts them out and back in. Volts wise it seems good, Amps it needs a little bit of messing about with to get an accurate reading. What i would say is that you need to calibrate it so if you are looking for something to work straight out the box then don't buy. Here's the manual in pdf.ġ) Well i decided to get one and it arrived in a couple of weeks. One guy even observed them slowing down by lowering the rig and using the jack stands as brakes.Cheaper here and they've sold about 200 more. There is a high probability of these yard guys not moving your jacks up and hitting high spots, curbs ect while moving the rig around the yard. On interesting thing that did come up was the use of a fork lift to move the rigs around the lot. I have been doing research on end cap separation and 5th wheel jack motor stress ect. I have read your article on the jack motor issue (thank you). Interestingly enough the service writer thought there might be some stress from the jacks. I stopped him, because any torque or movement of the trailer would surely undo his band aid efforts. He started trying to pull the lower separated panel back up with sheet metal screws in fiberglass to fiberglass. He could not remove the remaining screws. He pulled the gasket back and you could see where two screws were sheared off. The service writer was anxious to get me out there and sent a guy up to do a band aid repair. There were no visible signs of damage to the rig to cause this separation. While under the tongue area of the rig, I noticed that there was a half inch gap on the corner where the cap rolls over to the flat area. On pick up day for my rig, I had them back one of their trucks up to show me the lights were working, so that I would not blow the fuse on my truck. This is one I will probably solve on my own. After several week of my rig sitting on their lot with nothing being done, the short mysteriously went away. My guess is one of the cheap squeeze connectors came loose and the wire was making contact with the aluminum frame. On the return trip from our last trip our running lights stopped working while underway (pin # 7 had a short). I have not gotten the rig back yet and not sure if I will be able to see what they did anyway if anything. I am told that they did put in some reinforcing metal. While waiting several weeks for warranty work at the dealer, because of your article, I was able to add a check for the fold out steps. ![]() Thanks again for your advice on our Cougar 5th wheel. I could add to the list of final warranty request, but doubt the tech would be able to see anything without a lot of removal like you did. On a different topic, I am worried about my steps after reading about your problem. If you were starting from scratch on solar now on your rig, would you do anything differently? When I get it back, I am installing solar. It has been sitting there for over 4 weeks now and they have not even looked at it. It’s sitting at Mike Thompsons RV service yard in Fountain Valley CA, waiting for some warranty work, before the warranty runs out this month. We have an 11 month old Cougar 24 foot 5th wheel. I am impressed with the care you go through on the install and your suburb documentation and writing skills. I have even watched the 3 Wyoming videos. I have read all of your posts on your solar from the beginning 200 watt system to the more recent complete review of your 500 watt system. ![]() Thank you for your informative articles on your Cougar 5th wheel. ![]()
