After reading some great posts here I decided to add lock nuts to the turnbuckles on my FWC. They would usually loosen up after long drives on rough dirt roads and I spent a lot of time re-tightening them.
I hope this will take care of the issue but I'll probably continue to check them until I learn to trust the lock nuts.
OK, the questions:
How tight do you tighten your turnbuckles? I've got the basic stock turnbuckles supplied with the camper by FWC. I usually tighten them as tight as I can get them. Disclaimer - I'm not a particularly big strong guy. How do I know what's tight enough?
What do you use to tighten them? I stick a regular screw driver in between the legs of the buckle and use that as a lever. Is there a better way?
Thanks!
