    We have just purchased a new to us TT. I have read, researched and researched some more. I just don’t comprehend all the numbers and calculations.

    Newbie - Weight distribution chains

    I’m just curious. When hooking up to go, how tight should the chains on my distribution bars be? (Not the safety chains to the hitch) Tight as possible? A little slack?

    Isata 3 - Roof Weight Capacity

    Does anyone know what the weight capacity is for walking around on the roof of an Isata 3? Finally got a ladder out and climbed up to take a look on the roof of our 24FW we purchased back at the end of Feb and was surprised to see the fiberglass roof was thinner than expected. I can push in...

    You may be surprised by your tongue weight

    ...especially if you have a front bedroom towable with front storage! I’m used to the artificial weights and such the manufacturers give us, but when you add a non-optimal floor plan (for tongue weight, not for living, its a great floor plan to be in - 2606WS) to that, and have some stuff to...

    Positive: Weight distribution hitch

    Weigh-safe.com Just saw this WDH, interesting, yes expensive, but the coolest feature being you can adjust it without unhooking and it has a scale built into it. It’s interesting. Any users out there yet. Thinking this will get a lot of unfavorable input due to its expense. Either way...

    I'm looking at the 194BHS and am confused at the hitch weight. The brochure has it listed at 338lbs and the website 428lbs. A 428lbs dry hitch weight would seem to indicate the trailer is front heavy. Which is these is correct and what does it include? I know from the manufacturers...

    Weight and Tire pressure

    I weighed my 34QS today and found the front axel 9,220 and the rear is 18,860. I am trying to figure out the pressure that I should set with 275 80 R 22.5 tires. According to the chart I found online at Michelin they should be set at 90 LBS. That seems very low. Any thoughts?

    Spring Bar Weights

    Several years ago we bought a sob TT and a Curt Round Bar WDH #17000. My understanding is the hitch head and shank are the same, but the spring bars are what determine the amount of tongue weight. Each bar has 1000 marked with white paint. The question is does anyone know if that means the hitch...
