New owner of a used 2021 2500RL

These are the ones I got (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083T6NTQL/), they work very well on my Reflection. I accidentally left my tea cup on the counter, even after traversing a construction site it was still in place at our next stop. Yes, two sets.

Perfect. Thank you!

I took a picture of my springs: would those sumo be a problem with the basement covering?

I have the same coroplast on the bottom of the rig and decided it wouldn't be an issue. The Sumos are preloaded (compressed 1/2 inch) when installed so there isn't much movement against the coroplast. The Sumos sandwich it against the bottom of the beam. So far, I've not had issues.

I'd add a picture but apparently Sumos are one of the things I don't have pictures of.

Thank you! That’s good to know. I’ll measure things up and get them ordered if they will fit….

Sounds like a good setup. I would suggest you consider the tires...i.e. consider changing them to Endurance Load Zone E. You probably also checked them but if your unit has the barn-doors inside, make sure they open and close freely. We had to learn the hard way ourselves.

Thank you! I was looking at upsizing the tires to the 225 version to get the E load rated.

I am wondering how to get the front bottom corner of the slide to pull in tight? The back bottom corner is great

i did E rated Endurance tires on mine, pretty certain it pulls better besides the extra plies. I added an access hole to get to the winterizing valve up front, just to make that part easier. You might check yours for the valves on the back of the water heater, if yours happens to have the bypass, just to get familiar with it.

Really like this floor plan, two entrances, pass-through bathroom, and the full-size queen!

I am wondering what I should double check before hitting the road with this new to me trailer?

I’m concerned about the china tires…should I be? Should I increase the size to get load range E tires? That a concern?

Are there some mods I should do before traveling to make this a better experience for the DW? I am more concerned about reliability and comfort for her than reasonable expenses….

Any feedback would sure be appreciated!

We have a 2021, love it. I changed out the tires to Carlisle 225s after the first trip, the larger size seemed to make it roll smoother, definitely an upgrade. Also installed Road Armor w/wet bolts/brass bushings and a Z-brace. The OEM suspension uses plastic bushings, so whether you use Moryde or Road Armor, it'll be an improvement on the tow experience, and should eliminate suspension issues.
At a minimum, grease the bearings and check/adjust the brakes. I would love to convert to disc brakes, but using it 2x/yr doesn't justify that cost (yet).
Many of us have modified or replaced OEM items, based on personal use and preference. I replaced all 3 ceiling vents with MaxFans w/bug screens and covers, replaced the TV arm with a fully articulating one that allows the TV to be rotated 90 degrees so that it faces the rear lounge seats straight on, rather than at an angle. Added a BluRay player (the OEM integrated DVD player and I don't talk the same language), and Ford's SuperDuty integrated backup camera and TPMS system. Installing RV electronic locks, kitchen backsplash, and cap light remote control this week before heading out Thursday.

Thank you!! Great suggestions!!

Are the dexter hubs just a grease gun in a zerk or do I need to disassemble and grease them in that manner?
