do you have to disconnect when backing,or in rain?
1463975
Nope, never had an issue. In fact, I never typically disconnect the whole weekend.
1463976
No....what kind of issues are you having? All it does is take the load and levels it more for stability and weight distribution. I recommend getting stabilizer for it to if your hauling a larger trailer.
1463977
No, you do not need to disconnect when backing or when it is raining. Great product.
1463978
you dont have to i have never had an issue but if you are backing in a tight spot i would just to help turniing
1463979
no, i think there is a problem if you have the anti sway part that you can add on to the eaz lift. I have not had any problem backing up or running in the rain I have 9000 miles on the eaz lift. There are grease fitting where the bars go into the hitch, grease it, or the hitch makes a snapping sound when you turn.

No way, anyone that says "yes" to that doesn't know what they are talking about.
1463981
No. We moved cross country with heavy trailers and it worked great. It will make some noise when you back but if you adjust it correctly there is no issue.

I do not have to disconnect when backing or in rain. It will handle relatively sharp turns in forward and reverse.

I never disconnect when backing up, I only disconnect one the trailer is in it's final parking spot and the wheels are properly chocked.

First off I do not know the conditions of the environment in which you intend on using your cord in. I would not recommend using the cord while its raining and I would not recommend using the cord if the cord is going to be submerged under any length of water. However if it had just stopped raining or if it's early in the morning dew on the ground it should be fine as long as the cord is in good condition and you're using good judgement. Extend the cord between the two points first and then plug it in. Make sure before you put the cord away that you unplug it from the source of electricity first.

It depends on how you adjust the sloping inclination. When adjusted properly, rain will run off. However, if you adjust it too flat, rain just sits on the canvas and although it is waterproof, it is still porous and water will leak through eventually.

Yes, but it still has to be plugged in. So you don't want to leave it out if it rains.

I have ridden in the rain with no problem. If you leave your bike outside for long, I suggest you unsnap the computer unit and bring it inside. That feature works very easily.

I do disconnect each time AND drain it if I leave it outside. Actually, I drain the filter and hose and then make the connections so in the morning all I have to do is turn the water back on.

Yes, all you have to do is lift from its center, pull a tab and it disconnects . Really nice, easy, lightweight design.

I was in the rain last night and it performed well. I would add this word of caution; Proceed carefully when in slippery conditions and avoid walking in them when you can.

yes. i have used mine in the rain and it still works great. the only thing i might worry about is the camera and connections. i would cover those just in case.

Mine is out in the rain and works just fine, the connections are waterproof....

Yes, and it gets better than that. For rainy days, you can either add a rain sensor or manually set a rain delay. Unlike simply turning off the system, it will resume program after the prescribed rain delay (in 6 hour increments, IIRC). And yes, manual control on this system cannot be any simpler. Switch to manual and turn on the zone. One of the best upgrades to the house I've made, and for an excellent price I was able to combine two separate systems (front and back yards were done at different times with two different units, pain, this solved that problem as well).

Not totally waterproof! I didn't know and installed one close to a tree. After a rain, it quit transmitting. It says to install it out of direct rain. So that's why mine quit working after a bad rain and it was out in the rain!

I do both. The speakers are rugged but not to be used out in the rain. I have them under an eaves.
1306653
I purchased both, they do disconnect. I use them separately; the base as a music stand for my keyboard and the top for holding books/papers when I type.

Yes,you can leave it out in the rain on, works fine. But you should put it away for winter before it freezes.

I was running with it on my arm and got caught in the rain... my phone was dry when I got home. However, I wouldn't recommend allowing it got to wet jist in case.

I leave mine up all year in rain and snow and have no problems. I also purchased the connector cover.
