Aluminum Camper Forum

The replacement new ramp door is a inch thicker than the stock damaged ramp, has the same rating though as the previous ramp but a different part number.

Somehow my Bearcat Ramp door got damaged, I don't recall if it was something I did but the more I used the damage ramp the worst it was getting.
I went ahead and got hold of KZ-RV through emails, then they forwarded me to "Challenger Doors". Challenger Door did make the Ramp Doors for the Livin-Lite Toyhaulers, all Challenger Doors needed was my part/stock number's on my existing Ramp Door (sticker on inside edge of ramp door).
After months of searching for a Used Ramp door to my needed spec's with No luck I went ahead and ordered a New Replacement Ramp Door with Challenger Doors. Challenger Doors Service was excellent, shipped directly to me was 6 days, did take 4 of us to mount the new ramp door, the You Tube Video shows mounting a smaller ramp door, a bit misleading compared to a larger full size door, that is why it took 4 of us instead of 2.
I did have to change out the Bar-loc hasp's on each side of the ramp door, both handles, license plate holder and the three top round rubber bumpers but that was easy.
The New Ramp door was $1,330 shipped directly to my home, my ramp door is 72"x76" in size.
Really nice to have a solid feeling ramp door back on my Bearcat toyhauler.

OK, got it figured out, really easy, easier though with 4 hands for re-install but one person could do it.

I made a short Video on it, Be sure to read the description I posted on this You Tube video, as it has important additional information and Tip's.

No talking on this Video, just background music-so reading the description should answer all of your questions.

This has been posted before but the post is over 4 years old, plus I am asking for a bit more information on the process.

I have tried everything on trying to get the mold spots off of the inside of the tent foldout, the problem is only on inside top section, the walls of the tent are fine.
On the inside of the Bearcat Toyhauler Trailer there is a black metal trim that outlines the tent enclosure, there is a white plastic trim that can be seen under and a little out of the black metal trim section.

I take it that this white trim is connected to the tent-YES
Do you have to remove the Black Metal Trim (mounted with screws-NO)

How do you re-install the tent back onto the side of the Toyhauler Trailer-EASY.

The tent cables are also attached to the black metal trim,-
YES-Remove the Tent Cables at the Bolt.
As in the video, the tent can be removed without taking the cable bolts out, it is just easier during the re-install if these two cables are out of the way.

The comment section on You Tube has additional information on purchasing a New Replacement tent if needed.

See next Post.

None yet, It has been 3 1/2 years since I did the Roof with the Kool-seal, works excellent as the day I applied it.

It only took the 1st Summer campout to find out that my Bare Shinny Aluminum Roof was way too hot and the heat was felt inside the RV. I applied 3 coats of the "Kool-Seal White Reflective Roof Coatings" with a paint roller after each coating dried completely. I'm 240#'s and the Roof was fine with me standing on it. The Kool-seal has been a blessing, I can now place my bare hand on the ceiling and feel just a tad of warmth in a 100F degree day sitting out in the Sun/before I could not put my bare hand on the ceiling.
I have not had any Black marks on the outside painted RV sides but I have been using a different product for keeping the RV looking like new.
Cleans up real quick and No More Waxing.
I switched over to the "The Last Coat" a product that I use on my Truck, works excellent on the Livin-lite. Once applied all that is needed to keep it looking great is to rinse your Livin-lite off with a hose after it looks dirty, then wipe off the water(I use a shammy) shines up like brand new. I do retreat the RV 3 times a year with "The Last Coat" as it sits out in the weather all 12 months, as the Truck only gets it once every 6 months. You can use "The Last Coat" inside your TV and RV as well". Works on everything, chrome, glass, mirrors, vinyl, so overspray is not a issue when you apply it.

Returned from a shorter visit this winter to AZ, stayed in Alamo Lake State Park and a 55+ Over RV park in Florence. Alamo Lake State Park I am returning to next February, already made my reservations. If you have atv/sidexside you can access the trails from directly at Alamo and this State Park has allot of Electric/water RV sites, dump stations nearby the RV sites too. Excellent fishing here but a boat is your best bet but you will need your own as there are no rentals available.
Here are a few Pic's, The one pic with my Truck/sidexside's/Livin-lite Toyhauler under a High awning is in Florence.

I will, thanks, today was a little cooler as it only got to 73F.

Nice warm day here and has been for sometime now. Today's high was 74F in Florence, AZ.
I'm staying in a 55+ RV Park with my Bearcat FK16 Toyhauler.

That is allot, even with your WDH what is the rating on your Truck receiver? You may need to upgrade to a higher rated receiver, Etrailer.com is very good source for this upgrade, or you may want to go with a HD Pickup.
A HD Pickup, designed for towing really does make a difference and you don't have to go with the diesel engine, just try to get the lowest axle ratio like a 4.10 or 4.30's.

I am pulling with a Powerstroke F250 so the weight isn't an issue based on the posted weight capacity of the truck.

OK, not a issue with the F250. I was going by your Tundra as your TV in your signature.

I would take them off. It will be easier now with the New Trailer than if you wait a year or more. They really come off easy, if need be use a heat gun or hair drier on "Low" Setting to warm up the entire decal, start at a end and gently start to peel it off.

WOW, nice Toyhauler. All you need now is a Red TV.

Well it wasn't me. I haven't gotten out of New Mexico State yet this year. Have a Flyfishing trip coming up in mid to late June, that will be in Northern NM and Southern Colorado.

I only have the hot water tank on when I need it, it does stay hot even with it off for a good amount of time as it doesn't take much to rewarm the water.

Water pump I keep off unless I need it, just a habit from a previous RV trailer I had once before, as the water pump would cycle on and off mostly during the sleeping hours. Somewhere there was a fitting where I was losing my water pressure, never did find it.
