We are planning on buying a Flagstaff 26FKBS trailer which weight 6,836 pounds dry. My truck weight 7,050 pounds and is rated at 13,200 pounds for trailer weight. A friend tells me that this set-up would be unsafe as the trailer weight is to close to the truck weight and that will make hard to...

I am looking for a company or person that can stretch the frame on my GMC cabover.

In the process of buying a Rockwood 2205S trailer, UVW 5004# CCC 1686# for a total of 6690#. Now, I need to buy a tow vehicle—properly equipped half-ton truck. Not being mechanically inclined, I usually buy new for the warranty, but new prices for trucks are too high for me. I doubt that I...

Almost new Torklift A7202 Stable Loads for Chevrolet / GMC trucks. I only put a few hundred miles on these. Currently selling for $350. Asking $150 + shipping.

got a new 2021 Denali. It has the 'invisible trailer" feature as well as TPMS that you can add for the trailer, anyone done either? any helpful hints?

I have a 2014 Ford F150 crew cab towing a pull behind trailer. I currently have the factory Michilin P255 65R17. I am not too happy with the wear on the tires. Ford dealer has been rotating with each oil change. I have have about 30000 miles and it is getting close to the wear bar for...

Hi, I’m about to purchase a 2020 Jeep gladiator and would like to know how I go about purchasing RV plates. The dealer said they can only issue B-truck plates.

Hi. I'm new on this forum and just getting started on a build. I have an International 4300 with a 26' box. But there is nothing underneath. I would love to use the space for storage and tanks. I've looked at new toolboxes, but they are way too expensive for me. And I haven't had much luck...

Will be picking up a 2021 273qbxl in a few months. About 6,000 dry weight. What trucks should I be looking at?

I realize this is not a very busy forum, but I am looking at getting a HDT and then building a HD Trailer (RV) to go with it. I am hoping to have the HDT sometime in the next year. I will then spend the next 3-5 building out the trailer. I have not decided what style of trailer I am going to...

Hello, I am thinking about switching from a 5th wheel to a truck camper and would like to hear some of your experiences and would welcome any advice that may help me decide. I currently own a 2016 Ford F250 long bed and a 28' Fifth Wheel. I have no experience at all with truck campers. I am...

Looking at buying Rockwood 2883ws fifth wheel. 33'10'' long and 9500 lbs. I'll need a new truck also because my 2017 Screw Eco won't be enough truck. Specs say it is, heart says it isn't. Look at F-250 6.5 foot bed, 6.2 gas I know that I will probably need some type of a slider. Not sold...

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a Heartland Wilderness camper. It is 35' long and weighs 6550 dry. I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab that I will be towing it with. I need to get new tires for the truck and a friend told me I should get a 10 ply tire for the truck. I have spoken to...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and this is my first time posting. This spring my wife and I purchased a new Roo233s. We managed to get out to use for three weeklong trips, and two weekends away and we loved it! But my little tacoma is definitely a bit undersized for our Roo. We know this, but it...

We need to get new tires for the truck that is used to pull out travel trailer. All kinds of discussion about travel trailer tires. My husband wants to know if there are recommendations for truck tires.

I'm stumped and would appreciate any suggestions and/or solutions. I've always prided myself on 'figuring out' and 'fixing' just about any issue with my motorhomes and now my Riverstone 5th wheel over the past 10+ years, but this issue has me stumped. I have a 2020 Riverstone 39RKFB pulling it...

Hi all, I will have my Western Star sometimes in January and I ordered it with a 200A alternator (12V) Is there a way of charging my Lithium batteries during the engine runs ? There’s a lot of saying about that everywhere. Hard to have the right answer Tks JC

Let me first say that I LOVE my truck and I have zero intentions of selling this truck. Worst case I may need to look for another truck. I purchased a TT after RV camping recently with family in the TN mountains. After a horrible experience with our local dealer we decided to search the private...

So I'm searching for a truck and travel trailer. I'm wanting to hear from all the towing police about can/can't tow it. The TT we're looking at is the Forest River Flagstaff Micro Lite 25BRDS: Length: 26" Hitch Weight: 709 lbs (I've seen 800-900 lbs fully loaded) UVW: 5300 lbs Cargo Carrying...

Hi Everyone, I hope you are having a great Saturday. I am working here in Michigan through the winter. I figured I would make the best of it and get some mods completed on my 2018 F-350. Do any of you know of a custom shop within a hours drive from Detroit?

Getting started on the planning stages of our build and have a question on rear overhang. Our plan is to not stretch the frame and keep the unit to a total length of no more than 36'.....so does anyone know what the exceptable overhang might be with dual axles? Im thinking 6 to 8 feet before it...

I've read, and read, and read....and now my brain is spinning. So, I'll pose the question as straight-forwardly as as I can (that's a euphemism for not really knowing what I'm talking about) :) Is the engine alternator supposed to charge the house batteries? If yes, under what circumstances...

I'm wondering if the truck/chassis alternator is connected to the onboard Cummings Onan generator in any fashion? Sunseeker 2017 MBS 2400W. I'm asking because I'm planning for some winter boondocking. In the event my AGM house batteries get too cold/weak to start the generator, will running...

I have 2014 Ford Crew Cab which I use to tow my trailer. It needs new tires. I have been looking at the following tires and would like opinions. Tire size 255/65R17. I live in south Texas so no snow. Bridgestone Dueller load range- 2337, 51 PSI Yokohoma Geolander H/T G056 load range 2205...
