What color is the ducers bottom?

Not sure Kurt. Perhaps ducer cable? connection?

I did some more digging and seems like that Tri beam had problems just like I am and is why they quit making them. Buddy I bought it from had the ducer that came with it just needs to find it in the garage.

What color is the ducers bottom?

It’s the red one and from looking seems they like to break.

Yes the red bottom ones where made with two separate pieces of plastic that cracks where they come together, I have a red bottom one to and it also cracked. I asked vexilar if I could trade it in. No dice so i asked on another forum if anyone had been able to fix the crack problem they said use something like jb weld for plastic. Make sure you get all the moisture out of the inside before you seal it up after that it should work again.

I remember reports of tri ducer pucks having issues,suggest single ice ducer or a double/duel ducer,9/12 or 9/18 deg cones,9 deg cone is great fishing in deeper water and or a group of flashers close by where flasher cones cross and create major interference.

Ahh, didn't have the wheels chocked is what I am hearing. I have come close to a similar unhitching, it just didn't roll back enough.

The front jacks were extended beyond the final pin to hold them into the outer sleeve. So when I raised it up, there was nothing but the weight of the camper resting on top of the jacks holding it in place, and yes it slowly rolled back, in a slow motion type of event, so I could really watch the camper in extra time crush everything as it fell to the ground. Had I not missed the final pin hole, or had chocked it would not have happened.

Awwww sheet happens. Those WTF did I just do moments? On a side note, one didn't have to lift things so high into the box.

Oh man johnr...the wife and I are gonna upgrade to a 5th wheel this year...but thinking maybe we should stick with our bumper pull...that looks brutal! Maybe later this spring I'll start a thread on the benefits of going from a bumper pull to a 5th wheel...to try to get my courage up!

I’ve had a 5th wheel for 30 years, no damage yet thankfully. Remembering to raise and lower the tailgate at the proper time is my main concern.
