    Trailer Rally - 1960 England

    Interesting video clip. Do F.R.O.G. rallies include these kinds of events/competitions? I was amused to see that backing up was a problem back then, too.

    Trailer Upholstery

    We bought a new 2022 26BH trailer about a year ago and finally took it out full-time in May. Thankfully to date we've had no mechanical problem but a couple of interior issues have come to light. Our model has a curved-seat dining area requiring a great deal of shifting to maneuver. The two of...

    How to determine what edition trailer this is?

    Hello everyone, I have been researching trailers all summer. I really like thed the Rockwood Windjammer series. Based on my truck and where I want to go with this rig, I'm thinking the 2715VS model checks most of the boxes for me. At 32 feet long, that's the max I want to tow and it's layout...

    Travel Trailer Going Home To Elkhart, IN

    So I just heard today from Forest River that after all of the poor build and quality control issues, my 2022 Palomino Puma is going home to Elkhart, Indiana to be repaired, since the water damage from the two roof leaks is extensive, and too much for the warranty dealer to handle. I have cut the...

    Fema Trailer Water

    Hello, I purchased a 2006 Gulfstream Coach CVDH. It is a Fema Trailer. While I understand that there is no tank underneath, I don't know where the water goes when you are hooked up to the city water line. The water comes into the camper just fine. But I don't know if I can leave the water...

    Destination trailers

    We dove in and decided to sell our 4-bedroom home and move into a 2023 Palomino Puma Destination Trailer 39FKL. What a nightmare. Had it delivered and just a mess inside.
