Where is the serial number?
The serial number is located on the tongue of the trailer on the door side of the trailer. It is stamped into the top of the 3” x 1 ½” tubing. Most serial numbers will have 17 digits starting with “1S7”. Some older serial numbers will have 5 digits and start with an “E”. There were a few trailers made in the 70’s where the serial number was stamped on the top of the tongue opposite the door.

Hitch
Original Rapid Hitch Adjustable Ball Mount Trailer Hitch andersenhitches.com/Catalog
When only the best will do…you need the Rapid Hitch. The easiest to use and most versatile ball mount system available today.
The Original Rapid Hitch trailer hitch is a revolutionary aluminum adjustable ball mount trailer hitch that has taken the drop hitch world by storm. And we called it Rapid Hitch for a reason! There are no other adjustable ball mounts that are more versatile or easier to use than the Rapid Hitch. Its adjustability allows you to tow easily and safely by keeping your trailer parallel to the ground, maintaining a more stable towing experience.
The rack of every Rapid Hitch is made of an aluminum super alloy that will NEVER RUST The aluminum looks great by itself, so there is no need for paint or chrome that can chip and peel. To keep the shine, you simply need to polish the hitch from time to time and you will have a high gloss surface that looks brand new. Our Fast Shine Premium Metal Polish is perfect for this.
Another benefit to this aluminum super alloy trailer hitch is that it is light and surprisingly strong. Most models weigh only 15 lbs, and the greaseless ball option makes it even easier to handle and adjust. Our Rapid Hitches are V5 certified with a strength rating of 10,000 lbs. and feature a 1,500 lb. tongue weight when coupled with our 2-5/16” steel ball. Each Rapid Hitch is built for the long haul, and use in the real world where ease of use and strength really count.

Progressive Dynamics Intelli-Power model PD9130 installed progressivedyn.com/rv/power
The built in Total Charge Management System (TCMS) connector allows the RV manufacturer, dealer, or customer to easily add the optional Charge Wizard. The Charge Wizard is a microprocessor-controller that constantly monitors the RV battery voltage to determine if the battery requires a quick recharge, is fully charged and being used, or is fully charged and is in storage. The Charge Wizard then selects one of three charging voltages: 14.4, 13.6, or 13.2; and one of four operating modes (Boost, Normal, Storage or Desulfation) to properly re-charge or maintain the battery.
PD9105 TCMS Charge Wizard progressivedyn.com/rv/
The Charge Wizard PD9105 (for Lead-Acid and AGM type Batteries) is also available as a pendant. This allows easy field upgrade to your PD9100 series deck mount converter/charger by simply plugging the pendant into the built-in TCMS® connector located just above the fuses on the output panel. The Charge Wizard is a microprocessor-controlled unit that constantly monitors the RV battery voltage and then selects one of three charging voltages and one of four operating modes to properly re-charge and maintain the RV battery. The addition of the Charge Wizard makes your 9100 Series converter an intelligent battery charger that will safely and rapidly recharge a discharged battery by selecting the BOOST Mode (14.4V) of operation.
Once the battery reaches 90% of full charge, the Charge Wizardautomatically selects the NORMAL Mode (13.6V) to safely complete the charge. The STORAGE Mode (13.2V) is automatically selected after 30 hours of non-use of the 12-volt RV electrical systems. The lower charging voltage in the STORAGE Mode of operation reduces battery gassing and water usage, while maintaining the charge. Every 21 hours when the system is operating in the STORAGE Mode, the Charge Wizard will automatically switch to the EQUALIZATION Mode of operation. The EQUALIZATION Mode increases the charging voltage up to 14.4 volts for 15 minutes. This increased voltage mixes up the battery electrolyte and prevents battery stratification and the resulting problems of battery sulfation.

The Charge Wizard plugs into the TCMS connector located on the front of all PD9100 Series converters. The Charge Wizard uses microprocessor technology to make your converter an intelligent battery charger. Click Picture Below for Information

Review By P. R.. Fectionist - Easy addition of vendor removed 120 volt hot buss feature.
Not:It turns out that Home Depot carries the SQUARE D product PK3GTA-1 Equipment Grounding Bar Kit, #51730
Progressive Dynamics used to brag about their “exclusive 120 volt hot buss” feature. But then PD eliminated such a handy feature, stating in their manual “Note: As of January 1, 2016, the hot buss in our model PD4045 and PD4060 is no longer supplied by Progressive Dynamics as it is not required for the proper function of the power center. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Service Department at 269-781-4242”.
There is a solution for those like me that want the 120 volt hot buss feature. It turns out that Home Depot carries the SQUARE D product PK3GTA-1 Equipment Grounding Bar Kit, #51730. It is a 3-terminal bus bar with a mounting hole. This bus bar exactly fits in the space still provided in the sans hot bus products and its mounting hole and wire access points also exactly match the PD mounting location. You will have to provide your own about 1 inch long self tapping wood screw to mount the buss bar as the kit’s provided screw has machine threads.
Now there is again a handy location to secure the AC/DC converter’s black hot wire, rather than having it just hanging in space as the new models are shipped. For a few bucks, you can upgrade the “NEW” no 120 volt hot buss PD units to again be full featured !! Then it’s worthy of 5-Stars rather than the 4-Stars I gave this review because of the factory elimination of a feature that they used to brag about.

RV Batteries 101 & Why we use Trojan T-105 6V Golf Cart Batteries in our RV trekwithus.com/rv-batteries-101
RV Battery Single Stage Converter Charger – The cause of short House Battery life and other problems.
The problem is that many factory-installed converters charge and maintain batteries at a consistent voltage – usually 13.6V to 13.8V – which is why they’re called ‘single stage’ converter/chargers. This is a problem because batteries charge faster, last longer, and function better when charged by a 3 or 4 stage ‘smart charger’. The four stages – which I’ll cover below – are bulk (14.4V – 14.8V), absorption (13.8V – 14.2V), float (13.2), and then periodic equalization charge (15.5V) to ensure no battery sulfation (a poor or reduced battery charge) takes place.
When you maintain batteries at 13.7V they take forever to charge on the front end if they fully charge at all, and then they get cooked once the battery is charged. The charger literally boils off some of the water in the batteries, which speeds up the sulfation process and the batteries require more frequent maintenance – or die much faster than they otherwise would.

inside tire wear indicates a worn-out axle.
Because they don’t get used a lot, trailer axles can sometimes age out before they wear out (just like trailer tires). The rubber inside the axle hardens over time and as Wayne says, loses resiliency. Clues include excessive bouncing, cabinets popping open, cushions on the floor… The test is pretty simple. Raise one side of the trailer by jacking on the frame just behind the wheel (never on the axle itself). The wheel should drop down several inches as the trailer rises and the rubber suspension relaxes. If you want you can measure the distance between the hub and the top of the wheel well arch before and after jacking. Little or no movement indicates an aged out axle.
Torsion axles will also tend to sag over time, giving the trailers a “low rider” look, but that does not necessarily indicate the axle is bad (unless it gets to the point something is rubbing). Scamp recommends storing the trailer up on jack stands to help preserve the factory ride height. Something to consider after you replace the axle.
Normal lifespan of a rubber torsion axle is considered to be around 15-20 years, but it’s common for many to remain in service well beyond that, with gradually decreasing ride quality. As long as nothing is rubbing with a few inches of clearance in the wheel wells, it’s safe to pull, but it’s hard on the shell and everything in it to continue running on an axle that has lost its resiliency.
Here’s a good video showing how rubber torsion axles work.
