I'll be replacing the entire awning. Fabric, Roller, and frame. I read through that post though, and it does seem like the fabric will be the hardest thing to deal with, and that doesn't seem too...

Replace my own awning?

I'm pretty handy and so far, capable of fixing everything on my XT200 TT. Our 14 ' manual awning was recently damaged by wind and so needs to be replaced. My local dealer has quoted over $500 in...

I have learned that the generic "Deep Cycle" battery is often a hybrid between a starting battery and a true deep cycle. If the battery specs list "CCA" (Cold Cranking Amps), you know that the...

The brake and turn signals for each side use the same wire. Always, always, always look at the simplest things first, like the trailer plug, bulb and the socket. Then, check to see if you have power...

Thumbs up Replaced the water heater in our XT200

So, this past week, having nothing better to do, I decided to play "fun with water heaters". The water heater in our 2008 XT200 heated fine, but we had practically zero flow from any of the hot water...

My idea isn't as elegant as Silverado's, and more expensive: Try filling the water tank, at least partially, with hot water, and then try the weight trick. I know that the offending part of the tank...

Waiting for the winter to end

I know that the original post is getting pretty old, but there are still some fairly fresh replies coming in, so I thought I'd add my 2 cents.

Thanks Eagle,

I was worried that I had too much friction, but the answers I've gotten here, plus some of my own searching, tells me that I'm okay.

Weight Distribution hitch need adjusting?

I've got the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System that I use to pull my XT-200. After my last trip, a 250-mile pull, I noticed that the pieces that connect the bars to the hitch (and pivot up near...

My truck is a Chevy Silverado, with the 5.3L. Definitely not a Ford engine. I think the Fords of this size have a 5.4L engine.

The Chevy has the "Variable Displacement" feature that turns off 4...

I can't affix a 1" x 3" helmet decal without a wrinkle. How in the world would I expect to install a full-size RV decal?
