Re: Newbi from Vermont looking to buy 09 amerilite

Hi Fred, you can try to gain access to your appliances to see if there are data tags on any of them. They should have manufacturer and model/serial numbers on them. Then you can try to contact the...

Re: MAKO

Most tank indicators are inaccurate. Usually they will indicate more than what is in the tank due to stuff sticking to the probes. You can replace them with aftermarket probes, I have read of several...

Re: Rubber roof repairs

Use a plastic scraper and do it when the sealant is warm from sitting in the sun or maybe use a hair dryer to warm up the sealant. Have you thought of using Eternabond tape?

Re: Proud Owner of a 2012 Amerilite 27bh

We like Deer Haven in Lisbon. It's mostly older people so it's kind of a quiet place. The owner is a really nice lady and they try hard to get families in there with some planned activities. Our kids...

Re: Proud Owner of a 2012 Amerilite 27bh

You can deploy the slide while still plugged into your tow vehicle. You will be using the tow vehicles battery, saving a little more of your campers battery for camping.

Thanks for the tip. This apparently seems to be the only way to bypass all the spammer junk being posted.

How about converting it to this. https://rvpartsoutlet.com/product_info.php?cPath=780_66&products_id=11566 You would just have to fold the 1 leg under and lower the table into position.

The dry weight is around 4200 lbs. I would think that most modern 1/2 tons with a V8 would have no problem with that trailer. You should expect around 8-10 MPG towing any full height trailer.

Towing a full height TT will cause horrible gas mileage on any TV. The only thing that will help is to reduce your speed. I tow with a F150 5.4L and get 9-10 MPG while towing.
