    Second trailer

    Hello out there, we are in the process to buy our first Forest River Wildwood x-lite. We decided to take the 28VBXL because I can use the bunkhouse also as my office when our 17 year old daughter is not travelling with us. We has a Grand Design Transcend 247bh before and toured nearly the whole...

    Another TPMS? F-450 and Trailer combo

    So I did some looking and found that the reason the F-450 doesn't come with TPMS is the sensors in the wheels are not reliable and cause intermittent readings. There are aftermarket sensors that fit the wheels and Forscan can enable the TPMS on the truck, but many have had faults with one or...

    Bunk side canvas pulling away from trailer

    We have a 2019 183 Roo. We notice today that half of one side of a bunk end has come out of where it's supposed to be attached and I can reach right outside from inside the trailer (see pics). Can anyone explain how this is supposed to be attached? It looks like just glue, but I can only see...

    How does the recliner sofas secure to the trailer?

    We have a 2020 Rockwood Mini Lite 2104S. We have the recliner sofa that lays down to a bed. Does anyone know how they secure them to the trailer. Are they bolted from under the trailer? I can't seem to see how they are attached to the trailer. We would like to remove it.

    Check Trailer Connection

    I am fighting a losing battle with my brakes! It's been driving me nuts. Sometimes I have full brakes and other times I run into off and on again check trailer connection, trailer connected messages on the DIC. I recently removed all the 3-way crush connectors and went to outdoor heat shrink...

    When to change trailer bearings

    Our 5th wheel has the zerk fittings on each axle, but I prefer to remove and hand re-pack the wheel bearings once per year. This Spring, two of the inner bearings had some minor pitting, although the races were smooth. After a 2000 mile Summer trip, I am planning to replace those pitted...

    Grease Seal or Oil Seal for Travel Trailer

    I have had problems with grease contaminating the brake shoes. I would like to have a thread about the wheel bearing seals. What is the best bang for your buck? Is one manufacture any better than the rest? Do you just change them every year as recommended by the axle manufactures. They...

    Ground problem between truck/trailer

    Ground issue. Last summer we had 200 miles of "CONNECT!", and a second later "DISCONNECT!". I've been searching since - can't find a thing. Take the trailer end, do a continuity check with the ground terminal on the plug and the trailer ground with a multimeter - "beep". Continuity check...
