Been looking at the 2109s Mini Lite and I like the trailer floor-plan and construction, but one of my concerns are the windows. I was surprised at how little they open, about 2" at the bottom. I opened every window in the trailer and could not feel a cross breeze. The emergency escape window...
I use an Equal-i-zer brand WDH and anti-sway hitch. I've recently read several stories about the WDH, when going over inclines like a step entrance into a gas station or rough roads, causing enough stress between the tow vehicle and the trailer frame to cause the trailer frame to bend. I've seen...
I am replacing the side window frame/window in my class C. What sealant should I use between the metal frame of the window and the fiberglass side? Thanks.
I have a FR 2105S Mini Lite. The front stabilizers are mounted very low. It appears there is a sub frame below the main frame where the stabilizers are mounted. This is not the case on the rear stabilizers. Can anyone tell me why its this way and if it can be modified to reduce the potential...
Hi,
Looking for a lighter weight trailer (under 2,000 lbs) to tow with Chevy Blazer with 2.0 4L Turbo engine (stated tow capacity is 3,250 lbs.). In browsing new and used listings on the internet I discovered A-Frames as an option and want to learn more. It's only my wife and I (with an...
Heard a scraping noise and found the pump hanging from hoses and cables. The mount is welded to the frame with a arm that extends inward for the pump to sit on. The arm broke off of the plate that is welded to the frame. I had noticed awhile back that the pump looked like it was hanging a little...
As I look at my panel, I see that the 12V bus bar is not being used (but the 120V is).
I am adding a small ventilation fan (DC12V, 1.44W, 0.12A) and I have two questions:
Can I use the 16 guage 12V duplex "landscape lighting" wire that I have on hand? Seems like it would should work in this...
Can an air conditioner be put on the roof of an A-frame camper.? I have an old A122 Rockwood and the domestic air conditioner that is under the bed has always been loud and drives my wife bonkers. Is there a new air conditioner? That’s very quiet to replace it if I can’t put a different one on...
Hi All,
This post is to share what I learned about repairing a loose external AM- FM aerial antenna where it attaches to the mounting base and how to fix it if this happens to you. I could not find any information on how to repair this after searching the FR forums.
My antenna has been getting...
I tried a search but didn't find anything. Has anyone replaced the frameless windows with the old style frame windows? The new frameless windows are a bit of a joke where air flow is concerned.
TIA.
Hello,
New member here looking for a suggestion / fix for my snapin window screens that leave gaps along the sides/tops of the window screen frame allowing bugs in. I was thinking of using some kind of weather strip on the screen frame but wasn't sure and the stripping I've found so far seems...
I have a 2016 Primetime Avenger 28DBS. The slide is in the left side of the camper, is approximately 12’ long and contains the dinette and foldout couch. I believe it is a thru-frame slide out/rack and pinion. I cannot see the motor. I believe it inside the frame rails and the underside of my...
I have a folding hard-wall a-frame trailer.
It has the front and rear roof panels that rise up, with the torsion bars front and back which are supposed to make the lifting totally easy.
And it was easy, when the trailer was new.
Over the past four years, the roof panels got heavier and...
I originally posted this question to an old post, Replacing Rear Roof Foam Strip, but did not get a response. So, I thought to start a new thread to learn what you experienced A-Framers have done to safely access and work on the center portion of the roof.
What do you use to put across the roof...
I have a 2022 Vibe 28RL. The frame around the cubby on one corner is not tight to the camper body and as a result has leaked. I took the old caulking off and attempted to tighten the cubby frame screws from the inside but they are not accessible. There are no cubby frame screws accessible. The...
Hi.
We have a 2019 Roo 233s and have had a problem with the frameless window at the front passenger side coming open while driving down the road. When it does, it usually destroys the torque operator gear at the opening handle. I've had to replace mine 3 times now. I've searched the forums for a...
While working on wiring today I took out the lauan panels in an outside locker and discovered water damage. The right front corner of the floor is separated from the nose cap and allowing water in. I assume splashes in off the road.
I haven't explored the problem much because I had to finish...
I am trying to make an informed decision before hitting the road with my A-frame this year whether I need to use a WDH with my new to me 2015 Chevy 1500 Silverado. It is a crew cab with a short bed 4x4 and has a towing package. I have been using a WDH with a 2018 Toyota Highlander which worked...
Hello, I have a 2015 Rockwood Freedom pop-up camper that I've owned for about a year. As I was looking under the camper I saw wires going to this port (picture attached), but I'm not sure what it is for. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!
First post here, please bear with me...

The frame for utensil drawers has become unstable, the whole assembly falls down toward the back, causing things to be launched out behind the drawers and ending up under the oven when traveling. There seems to be no stability measures on the back end of the framework. Has anyone found a good...
Hello,
We are getting a 2024 2517S but it is about 4 weeks out. We are using this time to get things we need before picking it up.
We are looking at weight distribution hitches.
Does anyone know the frame tube sizing at the tongue area where the weight distribution brakets bolt up for the...
