New converter

So, the converter in our X17Z is shot. I have a guy who says he'll help me replace it, but I need to get the part. Has anyone ever ordered a replacement converter for this model? I don't even know...

We have a 17z as well. When the whole family is camping, we tend to leave our extra clothes in the car (inside luggage or whatever it's carried in) until needed. At night before bed, we'll pull out...

Our 16 year old son does this. In general he's not a big fan of the camper and would rather sleep in a tent. We're happy to let him, because it means more room inside for us and his sister :)

The longest trip we've done in ours is four nights. You're right about the CCC on the x17z, though ... it's very small. Depending upon how far away from home your destination is, have you...

We don't have a cleanout system in our x17z, but I do something kind of similar. I dump everything at the campground and, assuming there isn't a big line at the dump station, I dump a few buckets of...

Actually, I remember now that you got your x17z right before I got mine. I peppered you with a lot of questions about towing with a Pathfinder because I still wasn't 100% sure about it. Everything...

I really don't feel like this is a problem we have. I have a little sag, but I wouldn't call it substantial. I linked a picture of my setup below. The picture was taken a couple of years ago at...

To me, if you have a crossover with a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, the biggest camper you should be towing is one with a dry weight of around 3,000 to 3,250 pounds. Anything more than that, and...

Those are 12-volt outlets for bunk end fans. The cone should have a plug in the middle that looks like an one-inch audio plug. It works with fans like this:

Thanks, Zenar. Actually, I did know those things. I wasn't really clear in my post. What I meant was that I knew nothing about different brands of WDH setups or how to install them.

At the risk of having to surrender my man card, I will admit that I don't know much at all about WDH or sway control despite having our camper for about 3.5 years. I do have a WDH that was installed...

Good call. Your 4Runner should do fine with that. Just remember that you'll need to pack light both in the camper and in the tow vehicle. You'll likely bump into cargo limits in the 4Runner quite...

The most we've ever slept in ours is five, with my wife and I in one bunk, our daughter and a friend in the other, and our son on the dinette. It was tight for sure. We kept our gear in the back of...

We have an x17z, and while we haven't done this, I've seen pictures from people who have. Basically, they built a bench that goes in between the sofa and dinette.

Every reply posted so far is absolutely true. I'll add that I've have a 2013 x17z for more than three years, and other than some quirkiness with the furnace lately, it's been a fantastic camper. ...

Why come to the hybrid section of the forum and try to talk someone out of buying a hybrid? Is it because you're trying to sell your non-hybrid to him?
