    The Flagstaff 26SRD has these specs: Hitch Weight 716 lb. UVW 6,509 lb. CCC 2,007 lb. Exterior Length 29' 9" Thus, a GVWR of (6509 + 2007) = 8516. I'm buying a 2025 Ford F150 Platinum that has a payload capacity of about 1400 lbs. A bigger truck is NOT an option for me as I can only get a...

    Moving to the DarkSide - First Travel Trailer

    Hi All, After years of owning a HW296 I am thinking about moving to a TT. While I live the tent-like feel, the constant worry about setup and breakdown in rain, worry about mold/mildew, and the extra time associated with PUP has worn me down. I love the HW296 but it may be time to move on...

    What do you call your Travel Trailer?

    I was searching existing threads for something along these lines, but nothing directly related seemed to be out there. It's been one of the interesting things to me in RV sub-culture and there seems to be little consensus. How do you refer to your travel trailer? RV, Travel Trailer, Rig...

    Sinking travel trailer

    I am hoping someone can give me some new suggestions to prevent our travel trailer from sinking. Our Windjammer has 3 slides. 2 are ODS and both are large slides. That makes that side heavier than the door side. We carefully level the trailer and use good boards under the wheels on the ODS...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
