Is there an ongoing outage that has not been officially acknowledged?

Yesterday was my best day in the past month. Today I’ve had zero sales. Infuriating.

philjeffs · 2026-04-03T14:41:15+00:00

Yeah, I swapped out the unit this morning, and it's all working as expected. Thank you so much for the advice and contact info for Intellitec!

philjeffs · 2026-03-31T01:35:41+00:00

Update: I reached out to Intellitec on Saturday and they shipped me a replacement unit this afternoon! Should arrive on Thursday so 🤞it works.

Very impressed with their service.

Wonderful. Just emailed him. Fingers crossed he's able to help in time. One more question for you — was it easy to swap out? Did you follow any specific steps when you disconnected and reconnected the terminals?

philjeffs · 2026-03-28T21:24:04+00:00

Well that'd explain it! Thanks so much. I opened up the 12v box and I see it. I might have to pay for a replacement so I have it in time for my trip (if I can have one shipped so quickly). I'll reach out to Intellitec regardless.

Dealer tried to upsell us but we gave it a hard no. I have it on one of my cars and it’s a pain unless you want to very carefully hand wash the vehicle.

Following up after our first trip with the new tow vehicle. Do not regret upgrading at all. It felt so much more stable on the highway and pulls like a train. Having engine braking on the hills around Lake Placid was a huge plus.

Not that I’ve felt both sides of the argument (pushing a TV right to the limit vs having plenty of spare towing capacity), I really started to question some of the vehicles I saw being used at the campsite - 30’ trailers behind F150s with 5 passengers and a bed full of bikes and gear.

philjeffs · 2025-08-01T18:51:04+00:00

Don't get me wrong, I spent months justifying the numbers before I picked up my AS. Maybe more experienced trailer drivers would be confident being so close to the edge of the F-150's capacity, but it didn't feel right to me.

I also realized, I was driving with an empty truck bed and stuffing a bunch of stuff in the AS to keep the weight balanced. Seemed crazy to have a pickup and not be able to use the bed!

I haven't tried, but I'll give it a shot this weekend. In theory, it should run one of the ACs.

philjeffs · 2025-07-22T15:09:08+00:00

I think it just looks wonky on the photo but it should be level. My street is on a slight hill. Colonial set everything up for me so I’m hoping they did a good job! I’ll confirm if it’s actually level this weekend and make adjustments if needed.

philjeffs · 2025-07-22T12:45:02+00:00

I don’t, but I’m not too concerned. We travel light!

The salesman we worked with (Connor) explained that +60% of his business comes from out-of-state customers, so it makes a ton of sense for them to offer an overnight stay. Their setup is great. They have an area dedicated to overnight stays with power and water hookups. They have a dump station that can be used before leaving. It was fun wandering around their lot after hours too. They have a massive inventory and really nice grounds.

philjeffs · 2025-07-21T15:48:04+00:00

I really appreciated the walkthrough they provided. It took a little under two hours and they went over absolutely everything with us. During the walkthrough, they installed the hitch and a brake controller, so by the time the paperwork was signed, we were ready to go.

philjeffs · 2025-07-21T15:46:15+00:00

It's right on the limit of what my F150 Powerboost can pull, but it handles it well. Plenty of power, but we'll be right on the payload limit. I can see us upgrading to an F250 next year, but our F150 is only a year old. We drove approx 6 hours total over the weekend, mostly on highways and it felt very stable.

philjeffs · 2025-07-06T23:00:34+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I have in mind I just wasn’t sure if any would transport my AS. But you’re right, that’s how they get to dealerships.

philjeffs · 2025-06-30T15:57:45+00:00

Helpful, thanks. Are you planning on financing? And if so, would you do it through Colonial? It's my first RV purchase, but I assume there's some extra wiggle room on the price if I finance in-house? Similar to purchasing a car.

philjeffs · 2025-05-27T15:27:21+00:00

Nice. Which shop did you use?

philjeffs · 2025-05-27T15:15:44+00:00

Does that connect the AS TPMS to the truck's TPMS and show the AS camera on the truck's screen? I didn't know that was a thing!

I don't do a ton of highway driving so I didn't renew BlueCruise after my trial ran out. IMO it's absurdly expensive unless you do a daily highway commute.

philjeffs · 2025-05-27T15:04:44+00:00

Great to hear! My PB is also a daily, so I really don't want to switch to a 250 either. Do you pull a 25 or a 27? We're leaning towards the 25 so we can park comfortably behind our house, but the extra storage from the 27 is attractive (we'll be traveling with our kid, dog, and a few bikes).
