    Happybuy Trailer Mover

    Has any of you have or used something like this 12vdc trailer mover? I am thinking of investing into a unit that is economical ($400 or less) to help me move or park my tt into tight space on a concrete flat surface.

    Water not going into trailer by city or pump

    2011 Palomino Sabre rets-6 This is the problem, can you help me with this issue. Everything worked during the Summer but when I went to winterize, I turn one valve handle to winterize from normal and another from RV to hot water heater bypass to keep antifreeze out of it. I then place a...

    Trailer alignment

    For your consideration, I noticed that my 2019 Wolfpack 24 14+ both rear axle tires are showing excessive wear. I took it to our local rv suspension shop found the left wheel was towed out 3/4 of an inch and the left was towed in 1/2 inch, the front axle was as bad but still out of spec. The...

    Trying to Sell My Travel Trailer

    I listed my travel trailer on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace about a month ago with very little interest. Has the market cooled down that much? I think it has, might have to drop the price significantly or just keep it. I know about RV Trader, can someone suggest another site I can try. Thanks

    How is length of trailer measured?

    How is length of trailer measured (for a BP trailer)? Is it from the very back wall to the coupler on the tongue, or is it very back wall to front wall? I know all the measurements for my trailer, but sometimes I wonder how it compares in size to other trailers people are talking about. Like...

    Questions about squat with Goose Neck trailers

    I was out at the barn where I board my horses today and someone brought a pony to board. She brought it in this huge GN trailer (you could have fit five ponies into it). I was checking out her rig (truck and trailer). The first thing I noticed was how much the truck was squatting. First of...

    Could a WD hitch provide backup safety in case of trailer disconnection?

    Sorry for the awkward title. I was just thinking about this after reading through another thread. Just to forestall any concerns -- I always use my chains (actually cables in my case), crossed, and breakaway brake, and I double check every aspect of my trailer connection, actually triple check...

    Trailer sway vs "windpush"?

    I'm slowly starting to drive my trailer more and more. The past few times have all been decently long drives on highways. I'm starting to get more experience driving in wind. And I wanted to ask a question about that. I think I have been confusing trailer sway with what I want to call...

    Travel trailer leans to passenger side.

    Thinking About a New Trailer

    Hello fellow campers. Happy owner of a Roo 23W, but have decided I want a full time bed and a bigger bathroom. I have my eye on a Rockwood 2511S. Seems to have everything I want in a small trailer (relatively speaking) However, they are hard to fine. Don’t plan to buy until Dec., but would like...

    New trailer

    I traded in my Rockwood HW213 for a Salem FSX 178 BHS. Very excited. I love camping but due to physical problems, I was having more trouble putting up the walls. Is it okay to put the awning out partway and leave it like that or does the awning have to be out all the way or in all the way...

    Trailer Jack

    Looking to be able to lift a pull behind trailer and change a tire. I like the 2- and 4-ton hydraulic jacks I see on Amazon and at Wal Mart, the problem is the lift post on jack is not large and round in shape. My axel is round also so I see a meet up problem unless I try and get under the leaf...

    FYI Install water pressure regulator on trailer end of hose, not source end

    Increase your water pressure inside your trailer by installing your water pressure regulator on the trailer end of your hose instead of at the source. You lose water pressure as water passes through the hose, so it makes sense to install the regulator on the trailer end of the hose, so you get...

    Hello, Having never owned a camper of any sort we recently just dove in a bought a geopro19fd. It is advertised as a boondocking trailer. Sadly our experience as a genuine boindicking trailer has been poor. The batteries don't charge as we are driving but actually seem to drawn down. It's...

    Toad trailer wiring

    I have a 2019 Jeep Sahara Unlimited. It did not come with a rear trailer hitch, so I installed one WITHOUT wiring. Then, I installed my BlueOx base plate WITH plug and play wiring on the Jeep. Now, I'd like to install rear trailer wiring on the Jeep so I can tow a small trailer legally...

    Adding a cell phone booster to travel trailer

    WiFi in campgrounds are at best very poor and not useable for streaming video. Boondocking typically is hard to obtain a viable cell signal, so I'm adding a cell phone booster to our travel trailer. This is the one https://amazboost.com/product/amazboost-m1-vehicle-cell-phone-booster/. I like...

    Question about three-axle trailers

    I have a two-axle trailer. Each axle is a 3,500 pound axle. So the trailer has a maximum weight of 7,000 pounds. This makes sense to me -- with two axles, the front axle can support the weight above it and to the front, and the back axle can support the weight above it and to the back. With...
