Lol! Come on down to magnolia and we’ll get you fixed up [emoji3]

I have Gulf Waters on my bucket list. Maybe I'll make it someday.

Well I have top sail Florida on my list so that’s a possibility too! [emoji3]

The 377 is our condo, lol!! Although I would like to have a beach condo myself. That way I wouldn’t have to do all the work of towing to the destination, setup, tank flushing, etc., just get there and turn on the lights [emoji3]

Not knocking it I like PCB but that only works if you rent one from someone else. From 1992 to 2004 I had four and my family had nine more. Since I was a general contractor I spent all my time every trip working on mine or one of my family members. I got tired of that so I sold all but one and don't go but a couple times of year so I could camp more.

Sounds familiar...I’m always having to work on family’s properties myself

If you have a 17 version mine are under the wood trim surrounding the fireplace.

[Springhook]

So, I'd have to pull the wood trim off to get to the screws, right?

Just 1" from top of metal on each side. There is a small indentation and the screws go into the side surround.

I have some 1/4" angle welded in as a frame crossmember to both front and rear hangers. Would an additional one be of benefit at the center - similar to the Lippert adjustable crossmember?

When upgrading equalizers, i think MorRyde includes or suggests adding the X factor brace. I added it to my trailer when I did the wet bolts for extra stability. I’m not certain of any “real” benefits but adding an extra angle iron, or MorRyde X factor brace can’t hurt (at least that’s what I tell myself [emoji3])

[aggie camper]

Tom, I would bet you're right. If you look at the picture from Moryde about their crossmember, it shows 3 positions. Hangers and center of shackles. I'll be cheap and weld in some more angle when I do the wet bolts as well. See link - Performance Crossmembers by MORryde - MORryde Products

[MadJoker TX]

I have the MorRydr cross member as wel. Not sure if any benefit but since Jayco put a crossmember on the front and rear hangers, figured a center one could not hurt.

[aggie camper]

So the angle iron is possibly OEM? Just curious.

Yes. I have angle iron welded onto my spring mounts front and rear.

[MadJoker TX]

Ditto as Tom. Angle iron welded from the factory on the hangers.

Looking for a little assist.....

My new Sailun's arrived last week, so today I pulled the wheels off (one at a time) and took the old China Bombs to my local dealer who mounted and balanced the Sailuns.... All went well, until the fourth wheel. I had a lug nut that took 45+ minutes to get off. It appears that they cross threaded it putting it on with an airgun at the factory (this is the first I pulled any wheels) but since it tightened, they just snugged it up and shipped it...

I've pulled the brake drum, and popped out the damaged stud. Now I need a replacement. Does anyone know the spec for the lug stud? I took everything to a local auto parts store, and they said that they needed to know make and model to match it. I called a buddy who just left a service job at Albany RV/ RV One, and he says that they don't stock them there. He gave me a suggestion, but I'm looking to see if any of you have any ideas.....

BTW - My local tire dealer is primarily a Goodyear dealer, and the manager was completely impressed by how heavy duty the Sailuns are. Said that Goodyear has a 14-ply, but nowhere near that heavy. Then I told him that they were $152 each at Simple Tire........ You should have seen the look....

[Magnolia Tom]

Welcome to the Sailun club Fire instructor!

I don’t know the stud specs other than mine are 1/2” threads

[Fire_Instructor]

These "look" right, but I'll take some measurements tomorrow, in the daylight.....
