towing

I did plenty of research before buying our Salem. I knew the Castle Rock tires wouldn’t cut it and a sway/equalizer system would be needed. Today I install & adjust the equalizer distribution hitch. Tuesday I tow to the tire shop and have my Endurance tires installed. I can see at least...

I live in my 2015 Evo T 2700 full-time. I've been parked for a year. I am getting ready to move it 8 miles away, and my battery is dead. I don't plan to tow it again for at least another year. Can anyone suggest an affordable battery for just towing the trailer? I am always hooked up to...

We are seriously considering either of these trailers We do a fair bit of traveling with the trailers, towing with our 2018 F150 EB. The truck is a Heavy Duty with a 2400 payload so hitch weight is not a concern. I was wondering how people hauling the 2511S with a half ton felt it handled. I...

I have a 2023 Rockwood Signature 8263mbr and towing it with a 2022 Ford F250. I'm having some serious sway issues. Some sway is expected like in high winds or when a vehicle blows my doors off but it doesn't recover well. I've adjusted the load (towards the front) and I've tried several...

We currently have a 35' Carbon bumper pull. It has excessive tongue weight without a toy in the back by several hundred pounds due to leverage. It doesn't pull great with a toy in there with a WDH & proper weights everywhere according to Cat scales. I should have gotten a 5th wheel. Cue us...

Anyone flat towing using a dual hitch and a bike rack? I'm in the planning stages for full-timing towing a 2-3" lifted Cherokee Trailhawk and I have a Kuat bike rack. I'm interested in 1) how to get the hitch level with the Jeep with the offset and 2) what bike racks seem to work very well. The...

I am needing some advice on picking a truck that will be a good match for my camper. I am in a weird situation where my GVWR is a 4,800lb. difference from my dry weight. It is not a toy hauler so that is making it difficult to choose between a 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck. I have a 30 foot Palomino...

I have a cherrokee 304 bhbl. Getting ready to get a truck to pull it. Looking at 2500 Ram. What is the difference between a short bed and a long bed in reference to turning and ease of driving and pulling the trailer?

14.9 MPG towing about 11k pounds with my 2020 F250 Diesel 10 Speed Tranny. Granted was measured by Truck Computer so some error but I was pretty pleased. This stretch of road from Coalinga Cali to Indio Cali helped as no large mountains, Dry Pavement AND we actually got thru Pasadena area...

Interesting coincidence today, servicing my 2019 FSX Wildwood for a Sunday trip, both the interior lights and all towing lights don't work while off shore power. All coach faculties work under shore power. I know the 2018 F150 wiring is good as I towed a smaller trailer yesterday. Assuming all...

I have towed my 39BARK twice in the rain and both times get standing water inside the coach. The carpet on the slides are wet. I take a serious approach in regard to seal maintenance so I know the seals are good (just over a year old). I blow off the tops and sides of the slides before...

Hello all, Fortunately (knock on wood) we have not had a drive train failure. My question, should that happen, is it ok for the tow truck to pull us to a service center by hooking up to the front of the rig and placing transmission in neutral ?

All- I have a 2020 XLT 45A with the 450 Cummins in the back. Looking at flat towing in the future. Since we are a family of 6 and 4/6 will be 6'4" or higher, we require a pretty big car/truck. so here is my question: How do people feel about that rig with that engine towing a 6K pound...
