    Some coaching on minimizing trailer sway please

    I would really appreciate some guidance from the members on significantly reducing trailer sway in windy conditions and when a tractor trailer is passing on the interstate highways. It makes me quite nervous, and I would like to get past that and know that we are safe. We once had a stationary...

    I am getting ready to hit the road with my new 26BH. Where is the wheel torque specification located so I can check the torque before I leave? Or, what is the normal specification?

    Trailer Hitch Angle

    I had my EAZLIFT R3 Recurve WDH installed at the dealership. When the trailer is attached, the trailer hitch has a little bit of a downward angle, but the angle of the trailer seems good. No driving issues. Any concern with the slight decline of the trailer hitch when the trailer is attached...

    50 Amp Service On Travel Trailer?

    Does anyone know why travel trailers are now coming equipped with 50 Amp service, and not 30 Amp service like it used to be? In the past, 50 Amp service was reserved for Class A Motorhomes, with specific campsites set aside for them. My 2022 Palomino Puma came with 50 Amp service. Most of the...

    Ford trailer TPMS

    For those of you having experience with Ford's trailer TPMS system, can I get a 5th sensor to monitor the spare? My impression is that it will monitor up 6 tires. If true, I can register the spare as a 5th tire and ignore the 6th, but I haven't confirmed that. Also, in my experience, the truck...

    Ford trailer TPMS

    I just bought a new-in-box Ford wired camera and TPMS kit. (I don't have it, yet.) The kit has 4 TPMS sensors. I want one for the spare, too. I assume the sensors in the trailer kit are the same as installed on new vehicles. Are TPMS sensors a generic item that any tire shop carries? Or do I...

    Ford trailer TPMS

    I'm contemplating adding a Ford trailer TPMS kit to my trailer. Specs for the sensors state that: I have no clue whether the 15 inch wheels on my Mini-Lite match that description. Can someone share their wisdom on the matter?

    Towing travel trailer compared to driving motorhome

    I imagine this has been discussed before but a quick search didn't find much discussion - especially of more recent experiences. We've been TT people for 15+ years and I admit that as my birthdays accumulate my desire to have long days towing is dropping quickly. We've thought of getting a...

    Hitch selection based on trailer weight

    I have a 22 salem 270fks. Hitch weight is 1175 dry trailer weight advertised is about 9k. I want to upgrade my weight distribution hitch and sway control. I am towing with a f350 srw. Would it be safe choosing a 1200lb Tw 14k hitch set up? Or do I need to move up a notch on hitch ratings

    New Trailer Heat Ducts Not Hooked Up

    I just purchased a new 2023 Boost 21XLRX 7 hours from home. Got home and turned the heater on. 2 of 5 vents were working. The two under the refrigerator had no ducts at all and the plenum knock outs were still in place. Most concerning is the bathroom vent, which is on the other side of the...

    Crazy idea to wrap a travel trailer?

    We like our 2015 Windjammer but the backside fiberglass is very faded. We tried cleaning products with very little improvement. At a car show there were some beautiful wrapped vehicles. And a non profit I help with has a new bus that is wrapped. So why not wrap a travel trailer? I think...

    Snow Chains on a trailer

    We have an Alta 2600KRB (dual axels). We plan on being on the road for a while and are curious if chains on a trailer are necessary or helpful when chain conditions are active. Have you towed on a road with active chain conditions? Did you use chains? Your experience?

    Boondocking with a 2023 FR Trailer and 12v fridg

    I am looking at a 2023 Flagstaff 25FKSs or a Rockwood 2506s. Neither come with a propane refrigerator only 12v/120. As it relates to power, is this a practical trailer for extended boondocking? Installing a two way or three way LP fridge does not sound like a great option, especially...
