RE: Rubber roof confusion
biggjb, The existing roof on your 1999 Fleetwood Elkhorn is EPDM, if that was the question. Which for partial replacement I'd stay with same material.
Though only because any other material, caulk etc, would need to be compatible with both if different used.
All the EPDM Ive seen or used is black beyond the white top layer.

RE: finding an old post
Yes but unfortunently 'archive' starts about 5 years ago so several years missed between 'last 12 months' and 'archive'...

RE: Installing Progressive Dynamic converter
My 1st thought, as ours is only a few feet from battery, would be replace cable with a longer one. Would also be the least restrictive to its length.
A box with stud where you could immobilize both cables.
ANL fuse or reset-able breaker would make good 'junction' to add cable. Rated higher than what might be at either end.
Last option would be nut & bolting eyes of cables together, I wouldn't, invariably will loosen. If you need to, add extra so you can zip tie the cables together, put in a box.

RE: Does anyone carry a scooter on the front of the truck?
Interesting...?
"Do not put any VersaHaul carrier on the front end of any vehicle. All VersaHaul carriers extend beyond the maximum allowed distance for carrying such weight on a front end hitch. Failure to observe this precaution may result in catastrophic damage to your automobile and/or VersaHaul carrier."
We carry a small step-thru scooter on occasion, weighs~350. I built our rack and its as tight to truck as I could get but I don't understand the comment by Versahaul.
Extra weight up front could adversely effect though generally on a full size truck not like the frames gonna collapse? AS far as the rack it wouldn't see more load than if mounted on rear. Curious
When I mounted ours I put the scooter on some (sketchy) blocks and a lot of eyeballing to see where it would set on truck and issues that might be avoided or at least aware of. Mine was blockage of turn signals from certain angles so mounted lights. Should be able to guesstimate what might be effected.

RE: Help! One of my jacks won't retract or extend!
The TriPod jack mentioned, might be something you could rent or borrow 'possibly' from local RV shop. Rental yard might have something.
Atwood jacks are no longer available, parts increasingly hard to find, no longer made.
Previous Happijac jack models also no longer made with the introduction of the new 4820. Some parts still available.
The new leg, Lippert #736515 (new HJ owners) 'I think', but I'd verify, interchangeable with existing motor, depends on retailers Panther says it will, Tweetys only list new motor as fitting- same part?
Other than trying to fix, replacing just the leg assembly and install existing motor on it would be the least expensive and most expedient. Though Id plan to replace other front at minimum-at least sometime in the near future.

RE: Arctic Fox Fox Landing Extra Step.
The problem I see with using Torklift or any other scissor steps to add step is they fold from the bottom up- meaning top step is the mount point and would need to be mounted to the landing. Or simply replacing the bolted on step assy. They would fold up and be store- able much as existing step works.
The easiest, though most expensive, would be using the TorkLift Stow-N-Go setup attached to the landing. Likely need a four step (top tread flush to landing). Other than gaining 8" deep treads you'd get 7 1/2" between steps with contact to ground for more stability.
All that said I noted Northwood lists "Addl. Fox Landing steps" under options. NO other info so dont know exactly what it is. Found a video that also mention availability of "additional" step addition. https://youtu.be/LR2SnjprYMU?t=174 and mentioned again at end of video.
It may be another complete step but it may be and sounds like, one that is added to existing step. Might be worth contacting Northwood or your dealer.

RE: Camper and car trailer wiring
Typically the blue wire isn't used or connected to camper so if I'm understanding correctly- yes
I have one trailer, older 4 pin that requires separate ground as it has back up lights -point is I used simple bullet connector for 5th wire-its a pain...
Something that's used often might be better to install duplicate 7 pin receptacle on the truck if that's whats on trailer

RE: Step for entrance, DIY
I would also recommend Torklift if purchasing but there are other companies, I previously had a set of Brophys, Hijacker is another. Less cost but you said make.
Cant really help there far as making. I know a lot of folks use the short ladders. I have a hard enough time with attached steps let alone something that can move..

RE: Rear of camper sagging
Pic wants me to log in to gmt400
at any rate our 01 top of the bed sides to floor is about 1" deeper at the front than rear. Straight on looking from side it appears to be sitting off level. Gap between bed rail and camper wings tapers though opposite of what your describing,
Is this a recent observation that wasnt before?

Another might be trailer tow charge circuit output.
I wired to inside power that's ign on controlled but I also added switch to manually turn off pump.

RE: hydraulic jack rebuild
Ya I'm in need of a cover for one of my Atwoods. There's a set of bevel gears on amazon for $5,450. I have no appreciation/understanding of a company buying another then abandoning completely any support-
One older thread on hyd jacks...
https://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/26408204.cfm
Apparently jacks filled while retracted, red ATF fluid.
Reico titian has downloadable instructions if owner doesn't have. The owners manual outlines priming if jack 'stuck'. The other, maintenance manual, for rebuilding.

RE: tires overloaded?
Camper weight is all on 1 wheel? I dont know what would be considered normal weight transfer side to side or percentage of total weight seen by one side but I cant imagine rear axle weight (scaled) could be seen by one tire. IE if 3000# camper, 2800# on back axle- (just to generate a make believe number) if 75% could transfer to one tire that would be 2100#.
Curious what weigh rating is on tires.
