trailer

Hello I am a new owner of a older camper. I have a 2001 Forest River Sandpiper. I am taking it out this week Fingers crossed I figure everything out.

From what I have researched, it sounds like concrete is best, then gravel, ahead of asphalt, right? So here is my situation: I have a an asphalt driveway, only about 50 feet long that slopes downhill to my garage. I currently have some room next to my garage (about 12' wide by 25' long) that...

On a Forest River Salem, where is the inline trailer brake fuse located? I saw other posts like this, but the replies were that the fuse is located in the vehicle. I'm not referring to those fuses. There should be an inline fuse somewhere by the brake breakaway box under the tongue. Does...

I heard a couple times, but nothing official, that if you are running your engine brake and it engages, it applies your trailer brakes. Those people said it would lock up their trailer tires. Any truth or tips on this subject? We traveled from from Fort Worth to Nashville yesterday then back...

Hello, I have 2021 Salem FSX 178BHSK. The furnace switch stopped working and replaced it. Now every time I open the propane tank, and the AC is on, a nasty gas smell takes over the inside of the trailer. I immediately shut the propane tank off and vent the smell out. The AC works just fine and...

So quick question about stabilizing your rv, I have a Cherokee and when I'm putting down the stab jacks (especialy if the terrain is uneven) some of them are almost straight up and down. Do you think this affects the stability of the trailer? This gets worse if I have to level the trailer due...

Looking for a tip on locating the main relay for the dingy 7 pin recept. 2004 Coachman Cross Country 372 DS rig has all lights on coach working fine. Tail lights, directionals, backup lights, flashers, brake lights, running lights all work fine. There’s no power to the 7 pin trailer/dingy plug...

I am currently looking for a new trailer and the new designs have the refrigerator in the slide. My husband is uncomfortable with it. I had a blow out with my last trailer and the damage took out and electrical wire . It was the light over table . Slide still worked fine . Anyone have an issue...

We currently just have the bare bones number tube in back and I need to find a way to install a tow hitch that I can then mount a motorcycle onto. Anyone have any thoughts? Class III or IV as bike weights 540lbs Thanks in advance.

I know this is very vague, but some input might be nice. We are a family of 4 with two girls, 8 and 12, and have been enjoying camping in a popup for the past 5 years. I think we have gotten pretty good use out of it as we go 4-5 trips a year in the summer ranging from 4 to 8 nights per trip...

We just bought our first travel trailer. It's a 2022 VIBE and we love it!! We've just spent our 1st two nights in it. We're camping in the driveway until we've figured everything out. lol I need some information on accessibility. I have bad knees and will be having replacement surgery at...

2021 Frreedom Express 2021 19RBS I got a message on my way back home after the wife and I had lunch. The trailer breaks weren't working and also the light was not on inside showing that it was connected to the Brake control in the vehicle. 2021 Chevy Silverado V8 RST I attached a pic of what...

Hey, my name is Britton. Been having some slide out leaking issues… the good ol’ interwebs lead me here. I have some questions and also wanted to share my journey with the remodel. Where is the best place to start a new thread for this?

I took my ends off to be repaired before winter and now it's time to reinstall. These two post show how but use a special homemade tool: https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f46/new-canvas-replacements-78984.html...

Hello. I plan on upgrading my stock 15” tires on my 21 foot travel trailer. I’m considering getting the Toyo AT3’s. I’ve had very good luck with Toyos on my vehicles in the past and trust them but never used them on anything like a travel trailer. And I am not interested in the S/T versus LT...

Hi I’m very new to rv’ ing ! Can I leave the 25 foot Minilite hooked up to my Chevy Suburban overnight? I have early departure in the am. Thanks!

I had a strange experience yesterday towing across the Rockies. The first 30-60 minutes of my drive west into the mountains on I-70 (from Denver) went fine. But then I noticed I was gaining little if any speed on descents, and even needing to accelerate in a lower gear to maintain speed. It was...

Salem FSX cable/video ports on ceiling are only threaded coax cable connectors, but the TV doesn't have coax input, just HDMI. Anyone have a link to an adapter that will get me connected? The way I am reading the ones I see, it sounds like none have coax, just BNC, RCA, etc. Thank you.

Hello, A quick question: I recently purchased a Level Master for my new 2022 Rockwood mini lite 2109S to help me level side to side. The level is pretty big and I can see it real good from the rearview mirror of my F150 truck. I am pondering how to install it on the trailer. It comes with...

Forest River Ultra Lite Travel Trailer :: 2022 R-pod RP-192 (2022-05-17 19:41:02)

I have a chance to purchase a swivel trailer for a golf car, which "attaches" to the bumper/frame of a travel trailer. I have a 265 Surveyor. Does anyone have any feedback on whether this is possible? My understanding is you cannot tow anything on this unit, because I believe it is a lightweight...

What is the best product to wax my laminate side travel trailer? I’ve tried a paste wax for cars on the front to try and keep the Florida love bugs from sticking. It doesn’t seem to work well for that. I’m also beginning to notice first signs of oxidation over all.

Has any one experienced any issues with the quick disconnect, and exactly where is this disconnect?

So today I found some spare time and the weather was perfect. I decided it was time to tackle greasing my EZ-Lube hubs. My Wildwood FSX is a tandem axle. This also seemed like the perfect time to try out the Trailer Aid Plus tire ramp that I picked up last year to see how well it was going to...
