The 5000lbs TC of the Ridgeline and Pilot are AWD only models. Completely different transmission, suspension setup than the Odyssey.

So.. I have a 2001 Coleman Bayside Elite which is pretty much a fraternal twin to your Niagra (120lbs lighter). My TV is a 2002 Expedition 5.4L with an 8700lb towing capacity and brake controller. I would absolutely NOT recommend trying to tow that camper any distance A) without brakes and B)...

We have an Atwood air command 15,000 BTU (claims 18,000BTU equivalent) heat pump roof mount AC in our Bayside Elite (12ft box with slide out dinette). As long at the temp is above 40°, the heat works amazingly well, it will get uncomfortably hot actually. But once it drops to around 38° it...

Hahaha.. you mean law enforcement actually pulls people over where you live? I got stuck for 4 miles at 30mph behind a uhaul towing an overloaded tandem axle trailer with only three wheels installed. Every time there was a bump, sparks flew from the dangling hub hitting the ground. No brake...

When rebuilding the 12’ roof on my Coleman bayside elite with aluminum roof. I used a 9.5’x15’ superflex kit from Amazon. I would just buy the Superflex by itself now cause the kit was $190 when I bought it 3 years ago and it’s over $400 now. I only used 3/4 of 1 bucket of the glue and one tube...

When I get around to it, I’m going to be making a custom fan controller for my fridge that I can set via WiFi, and it will even tell me the current temp and fan RPM.

These are 12v. Totally custom installed.

You should see it when it’s set to party mode!!

Down here in Florida.. camping season is just getting started! I spent the weekend fixing some odds and ends and installing new RGB LEDs for the ambiance. Tonight I’m replacing the DC converter’s fan. The factory fan had some bad bearings to I got a Noctua Redux fan to replace it. The fan barely...

The only reason we have a pop-up is that it’s the only thing easy enough for our ‘02 Expedition to tow that can fit our family of 7. I really don’t care for standard pop-up’s due to the amount of rain and humidity in northwest Florida, though I do like the amount of space. First kid graduates...

Location and pics of your pup please.

thanks that fixed it!

My Bayside has developed a new issue. When cranking the roof up, it ratchets, but the ratchet does not stop the roof from coming right back down. How do I fix this?

simple.. get a bluetooth speaker and play music slightly louder than the genny. Shouldnt be too hard as the 2200 is about as close to silent as a genny can get.

I bought a camco tank rinser and it did a wonderful job of cleaning out the tank! Here is a vid of it in action. Also, I think the anode in my water heater had never been changed. New vs Old
