towing

For 22 years I towed boats and travel trailers with an old Ford 7.3 liter diesel. It got the job done, but towing in the mountains and on steep secondary roads was tiring and not that relaxing. Last year I bought a 2022 Ram with the 6.7 liter diesel and 6 speed trans. It is like night and...

I'm using a blue-ox sway-pro WDH. I was wondering if cold temperatures can affect either the spring bars or chains. I don't normally tow in the coldest part of the year but this year I will. We'll be leaving PA for FL in late December and coming back in mid January. Bitter cold temperatures are...

Oh Wise Ones, I have a 2019 Wildwood FSX 167 RB that seems to not like being towed in the rain. Everything stays dry when it is stationary. Snow, rain, no leaks. We have been fortunate to have only pulled it rain two times and both times, after arriving at our destination the head of the murphy...

Hi Everyone, I have read a few posts regarding weight capacities for the rear bumpers of travel trailers. Has anyone ever mounted a bolt-on bumper hitch and added Saftey Struts bumper brackets to the Bumper Frame? (Attached images of products) I want to be able to pull a 5x8' aluminum trailer...

This morning while heading home there was a rig in front of us, and I've never seen that kind of set-up before. They had a 1 ton truck, towing a bumper pull trailer, with a jeep hooked to the back end of the trailer. Around here that wouldn't fly, and I'm just curious if it is legit in the...

Last year we completed a 11,141 mile trip to the Yukon and Alaska with our 2021 Ram and 2022 Rockwood 2109s Minilite - it was an amazing trip. We knew we were going to encounter a lot of gravel roads and wanted to do everything we could to protect the trailer from rock or stone chip damage. We...

I just installed the Banks Pedal Monster on my 2022 Ram 2500, 6.7 Cummins. We’re heading to South Dakota next week and wondered what setting others use when towing? I’m not in a big hurry when I tow. 68-70mph is plenty fast for me. Thank you and safe travels.

I have a 23 Forest Alpha Wolf 26RLL and tow with a 22 GMC Sierra Elevation 1500. I use the Anderson WDH while towing. It seems when I tow that the front floats or swims . I have followed directions on how to use the WDH but it seems I still have a squat. Chains are tight and even on each side ...

I can't find the thread where someone was looking to regain the 12volt power for the towing harness. This is a picture showing where it is on my 22 XL. Mine was popped when I got the coach because whoever delivered it to the dealer blew the fuse with his toad. This is the first basement...

I got the Towbar base, wiring all installed and I took the setup for a spin..... The RVi Brake system works well, but the Flex acts strange when turning. the front Wheels will get stuck turning and jerk back straight, at one point the motorhome was going straight but the tires on the flex were...

Hi, We’ve decided the 2205S/22FRB is the right trailer for us as we plan longer trips for a few months at a time. We will be travelling from Alberta Canada to the east coast, Southern California, Alaska over the next few years. The truck we’d like to get is a 2023 GMC/Chev 1500 3.0 duramax...
