Okay so I bought this 18 foot travel trailer; it's a 1971 Holliday, spelled with 2 Ls. Was made in Dalhart Texas. The plate on the end of the unit says it is a Holliday Sport, made at Dalhart Manufacturing Co. The only other info I have for the camper is from the title: year-1971, Make-HULR-, Model- HOL DGVW- 4300 WT./wheels-2300
I have searched the internet looking for information on this camper and can find none whatsoever. I can only find info on the Holiday campers, ones with 1 L and am assuming the two are not related. Any info on this trailer would be greatly appreciated.
My TV is a 2000 Chevy 3500 Model says GM4 standard cab 2 wheel drive, thinking it has the 5.7 in it. GVWR-9000lbs. GAWRFRT- 4100lbs GAWRRR- 6084 lbs. I would like to know the actual weight of the trailer if possible and the actual weight I can pull with my TV. Also I have a class 3/4 hitch that will be installed on the truck.
I have yanked both end walls out of the trailer and replaced with birch as well as new insulation along with a few other odds n ends that needed replaced/repaired. Yet I still have about a zillion questions regarding this TT. I have both 12v and AC lighting and both are in working order. I have one deep cycle battery hooked up. Can find hide nor hair of a converter, nor can I hear any fan running. Is it possible that I do not have one? If I do have one hidden somewhere and cannot find it, is it possible to just have a new one installed anyway?
Just one more for now please, my trailer is a double axle and I can see a cut wire hanging from the rear trailer hub on the drivers side. I am assuming this went to the brakes, and that I will need to have new brakes installed or at least that hooked back up. I know from reading this great forum to go with the prodigy brake controller but what are good brakes for this TT should I need new ones?
Please forgive my ignorance, this is all so new to me, even though I have been reading the RV forums for a few years now, it's way different actually having one sitting in the driveway. Thanks, Jesse
