Ok, so last night we made a deal. My dad bought a camper. Its a 20(ish) foot 1998 Jayco Eagle. We bought it from the original owner who only slept in it twice. It is imacculate on the inside, and in the back, he included 2 brand new leather and suede chairs in the back. Its got Brand new tires, too. This all for a price of $4800!!! Amazing Deal!!!

So, now we got to get Purpl ready to tow this thing. The owner (now former owner!) included a weight distrubiting hitch with the camper. All we have is a factory hitch on the back.
Here is a list:
Mopar 7-wire Hitch Wiring
Brake Controller (which one?)
Trans Temp Guage (still undecided on which one)
Tranny Cooler (How Big?)
Amsoil tranny fluid
Deep pan maybe?
Mirrors?
Air Bags?
Anything else?

We are going to pick this thing up in a couple weeks (gotta wait for tax returns!) so, I will have pics then!


Thanks!!

P.S: I am going to Luke's Link the trackbar and put some other doodads on the suspension. Here is what I'm looking at:
Dash Guage Pod
Luke's Link
Sway Bar End Links
Track Bar Bushings
Dual Sterring Stabilizers

 

Congratulations on your camper!

I bought an '05 Fleetwood 14'/26' popup from my father in law a couple of weeks ago, so I have been preparing my truck for towing it. The truck originally came with the Curt Industries receiver hitch, 7-pole connector, and Captivator 3 electric brake modulator. Future plan is to add a PML deep pan, Autometer temp gauge, and Flex-a-lite cooler with e-fan. I also need to do some brake work as one of my rear wheel cylinders is leaking.

 

Here is my list from Summit Racing:

Add the Mopar Hitch wiring, tranny cooler, and brake controller.
Summit and Mopar total around to $445.
What tranny cooler do you guys think I should get?

 

Anyone?

 

I went with a Flex-a-lite 4590 Transmission cooler, not sure if it works well or not yet.

 

How big is it?

 

10 1/2" x 15" x 4" 6 pass with an electric cooling fan

 

Here is the cooler I think I'm going to get: 26,000 GVW

I also picked out my Brake Controller. Its the same one that my uncle has on his Powderchoke to pull his 35ft Gooseneck camper. So, I think this one would do..
