Nice! Did the same today with these Clazzio’s. Not an easy install, but definitely quality. Per their instruction, a week or two of use and I will tighten it down again.

 

installed steps manual override switch

 

Have to cut them at 14 and 3/4 inches as shown in the picture. This is a must to clear the portion of the bracket that angles in and goes down to the crash bar. Slides in super easy. Then use the bolt and nut just like you would if you threw the dams away. The hole the bolt goes in is the same hole that held the plastic rivet you removed. Drove it about five miles on the highway today. No noise.

 

I’m not usual one who likes all that flash but your interior really looks great. A Movie quote, “That rug really tied the room together, did it not,” comes to mind.

 

Tires are stock size 265/70/16 wheels are 16x8 0 offset

 

This even fits in the garage!

 

Are those MESO puddle lights?

 

Need more info? What is the button and what does it do?

 

Yes sir.

 

I agree with you. I think 24' is max for State Parks here. I'd look for a Van style but sounds like your family need something bigger. We were looking at the Winnebago Travato 59k. It's the hottest thing out there right now and gets 20mpg.....no shit.

It overrides the steps.

Okay, I can't. When the door opens, the steps come out. This switch prevents this from happening in case of a obstacle or dead animal, like a moose that would cause damage to the step.

That looks cool, I do like the style of van but we are wanting something with more space, mainly because it’ll be our home for a long time. I’m fairly new to towing and I don’t know if I’m being too cautious. Back in the uk as a kid we would head over to Europe every summer for 3 weeks. Most of those holidays the caravan was pulled by either a ‘84 BMW 735 or a 86 Mercedes 280 estate.
I’m thinking that finding the right TT is the best way, put a hard shell on my long bed for aero (maybe stick one of these on for good measure https://www.google.com/shopping/pro...aNFVLB1A,prmr:1,pid:16551759083465768176,cs:1)

 

Anyone running those Pirelli scorpion AT plus?
Tried finding a thread but I suck at searching on here

 

Worked on mounting my Yakima bicycle racks today. Got one installed. Had to modify the clamping mechanism to get it to fit around the thick cross bars. Also, decided to illuminate them just in case I'm loading or unloading at night.

 

Damn, that's a ProMod wing...lol. Travel Lite makes light weight campers. Take a look at those for towing with less drag. I know all about those European folks. I worked in Germany for 6 years, and Italy for 8 years. Y'all know how to vacation. Lol

No idea but when I was doing tires, Pirelli had a tread wear rating of like 500 miles. Traction was great but the tire lasted about 3 weeks and cost more than the car...lmao.

i've just installed this, it's like a switch that controls the steps manually, I believe it will keep the steps retracted or deployed for 30 minutes then revert back to auto mode. In auto mode the steps works independently from each other depending on which door side is opened. But this manual switch will control both sides simultaneously. I used the switch to deploy steps for cleaning today.

if parked close to a high curb you could manually keep the steps retracted to keep it from damage. Its a niffty set of steps to go to a mall, if I had a crawler and crawled hard or often, idk, the higher the lift the safer it be from possible major dents, lol
