    16K miles on travel trailer tires?

    My 2 year old GY Endurance trailer tires with 16,000 miles have 3/32 to 4/32 of tire tread left. Wear is even across all 4 tires. Do travel trailer tires wear out this quick? Anyone have a similar towing experience with GY Endurance trailer tires? Had hoped to get 40k miles. My travel trailer...

    Towing travel trailer with a dually

    Hi. I have a newF350 Dually and currently pull a 5th wheel. My wife loves 5th wheels due to storage. She is having a harder time getting up and down the steps. Mostly down. We like the stability of the 5th wheel when towing but I am talking with her about a Travel Trailer. My question is this...

    Have you ever wondered how much a Travel Trailer costs per use?

    Was just thinking about how much a travel trailer might be costing the AVERAGE person per use. Did some "research" (code name for "Googling") and found that the average life of a travel trailer is around 10 years. Of course this depends on how it's cared for and maintained but it was a stated...

    Should Forest River Stop Making Front Windows on Travel Trailers?

    We own a 2019.5 Rockwood Mini Lite 2511S TT with the front window. Since we bought our trailer in October 2018 I have read many posts in this forum of front window rock chips, cracks/breaks, and leaks. We always keep our front window covered inside with an additional insulated window shade...

    How well are new FR travel trailers insulated?

    I was planning on leaving some water in my fresh water holding tank, gray tank and black this winter so our occasional relatives can stay in it while they are here. We live in the Pacific NW in Washington State and it rarely gets down to sub freezing for long periods of time. Usually we'll get a...

    I have a 2019 (maybe 2019.5/2020) model 20RLC travel trailer. Need to replace a scissor jack but the original jacks don't have specs listed on them, at least not that I can see. Can anyone tell me what size jack I need? Unloaded weight is 4124 lbs.

    How Long of a Travel Trailer Should I Pull with Tahoe?

    I read that for pulling travel trailers length is important. A general guideline I came across suggested that you could pull a trailer approximately twenty feet long as long as your vehicle has a wheelbase of at least 110 inches. If you want to get a longer trailer, it recommended that you have...

    Has anyone installed a Lippert 672136 Ground Control on a travel trailer?

    The 672136 is electric and looks quite ideal for a regular travel trailer. The pre-sales material makes it look easy enough. It certainly looks more practical than adding a hydraulic system, although I haven't ruled that out yet. Does anyone know from experience how well the installation works...
