So did I! Pulled into a camp site yesterday with a trail of oil. My new Strictly Diesel wiring kit for e fuel oil pressure switch was leaking, not from the treads but from the switch itself . Then I smelled the right rear brakes were really hot. I can't keep them adjusted for the life of me. They either get loose or tight and this is with all new springs, etc.

Nate, its good they don't put odometers on 5th wheels, LOL

I couldn't have said that better my self, I just got a email back from Strictly Diesel and he said that they are looking for a better OP switch and admitted that the ones they use now are China junk. Then gave me a part number to get another, I'm all for safety but this is getting on my nerves. When the inertial switch failed I put it back to key on power, I'm tempted to do that again!

Sorry Bill, messing up your thread!!

Congrats Bill!

It's official, I won't be able to make RRE again this year. I checked today to see if I could take off work and two other coworkers already have those dates off, so I cannot take off work. I hope everyone has a great time!!!
