Hi

We picked up our 09 Wildcat Toy Hauler 31 last week in Grand Rapids, MI. Drove up from Blue Ridge, Ga and found it amazing the difference in the ride towing a 5th wheel versus a tag. We haven't yet tried putting the Harley in - hope it fits!!

Welcome Jo-Ann & Derrill. Know what you mean about towing a 5er over a TT.

Welcome to the forum. We look forward to your contributions.. As a former TT owner I know you will enjoy the difference in towing the Cat.

Welcome Ya'll,,,

My best friend has a place up off of Hells Hollow Rd, in Epworth.
His back yard is the Cohutta,,, He went up this weekend to check on things and It was about to kill me that I wasn't able to go.
I love riding on the wilderness road back there. Awesome views.

Ya'll do the Thunder Rally down here in milledgeville, ?

Everyone, thank you for the warm welcome. On the 6th day of ownership the inverter died. We have an appt with Camping World in Woodstock GA on Monday. As we're full timers this could have been a big problem but, we are currently on shore power on a llama farm in Blue Ridge, GA and have a battery charger hooked up in order to have lights.

Anyone else have this problem??

Yes, I lost my first converter (Parallax) after 3 days on the driveway. Dealer installed a second Parallax that last 3 days. I was enroute, so went to the factory and they installed a WFCO and I have had no more problems.

Your converter is under warranty. I assume Camping World will honor the warranty? If not, I would contact Rod Batts at Forest River to get it taken care of.

Good luck

Keep an eye on the BAt Charger and don't let it boil your Battery while your not looking....
That can cause a nasty BOOM with the gas from the battery...
not to mention the battery acid eatting through your rig.

Heres a link to some of the post on replacing the converter.
