    Dx3 trailer brake controller mod to not go on w engine brake

    This has been talked about a bunch on here, but I can’t seem to find the thread. I’m stuck home for 10 days with COVID (no big deal feeling better after 3rd day allready) so I figured I would order the T and the brake switch. If you haven’t read it, there’s a thread to install a T fitting...

    Anyone know if Forest River (or their suppliers) balances the tires that go on new trailers? (travel trailers specifically; I know motorized RVs would need / have them balanced). I don't recall seeing weights on the wheels, now that I think about it. And I can't look at the moment, as I...

    alternative to Cataloochee for trailer camping in the area?

    I'd like to spend a few days around Cataloochee valley enjoying the scenery and wildlife in early October. Unfortunately, the NPS web site advises against taking a 25' trailer on the road. Ours is 25' 10". Comments about it here in FRF are inconsistent. Some took a 5th wheel; others wouldn't...
