  1. Any current views on replacement of dometic/Waeco RPD 215 with the RPD 218? or other 12v fridges. Currently in a 2012 ATV.
  2. Michael, There is no way it could detach. There is a 5/8" primary pin, Haymen type pin, that is aback up. The Mchitch is a very secure system. My problem was the un-hitching. The ratchet screw is a locating attachment, rather than a attachment/securing device. Rest easy The Mchitch is a very secure attachment for the tow vehicle to the van. Cheer Vagrant
  3. The steel ratchet device is pressed into the alloy wheel and bonded. In my case the bond failed and the steel insert rotated within the Alloy wheel. The screw would not remove from the top of the male part of the McHitch, attached to my vehicle, other than by grasping the steel ratchet wheel, beneath the alloy wheel, with vice grips , to rotate and remove the pin. Solution..... Use a long socket 22mm to remove the assembly. Remove the steel ratchet from the Alloy wheel and repress in using a high strength Loctite or in my case Molytec 3277 Ultraloc, and drill a retaining hole through the bottom of the holes where the retaining removal pin locates and insert a ss bolt and nut (or a roll pin)as seen in close up photo 2014_12 11.01.11. This should be a permanent fix.
  4. I tried the cheaper TYRE GUARD which were not very accurate and alarmed regularly with false readings. Ie I had to stop and check for an alarmed deflated tire, only to find all was OK.Very annoying!and unreliable. The old Peter and the wolf syndrome! I now have run Truck Systems Technologies from the USA, and self proclaimed leaders in the tire monitoring market. This tyre (tire) monitoring system appears to be no 1 in blogs etc. The new 507 allows either the button style cap sensors for rubber valve stems, or flow – through sensors for metal valve stems. In-tire sensors are also available. They require factory replacement of batteries every 5-7 years, which requires breaking the bead to expose the sensor inside the tire! For full details see.... http://www.tsttruck.com/ The accuracy is 1-2 PSI and has the capability of monitoring a B double semi trailer. I have a booster mounted in the rear of my LC 200, just to be doubly sure of good reception. I have only done 2,000kms with the van on, and about 20,000kms of highway, around town, and some off-roading, without any issues with the "button" style sensors. My set-up is 6 sensors on the LC 200 (two spare tires on the rear) and 6 sensors on the Kedron ATV including the spares. I possibly would not bother monitoring the spares, and save 4 monitors. TST were very helpful when purchasing my requirements. Trust this may help you with your selection of a tire monitoring system.
