Yea here's a couple relevant quotes: - buy cheap buy twice - (like if you buy some cheap china torque wrench vs a craftsman, likely you'll have to buy the cheap one again as it'll break and doesn't have a warranty) - don't pay for advertising - (like if you buy a name brand yogurt instead of...

Yes. Clean well, recaulk and reseal then apply the coating according to mfr's recommendations

I need one of those really tall caps so I can get my motorcycle in the bed still and the bicycles etc etc with canoe / kayak on top!

I did preface the post that it was for those thrifty folks out there  ;).....I suppose what I mean is those that need to be thrifty. I mean are there any millionaires on this site? Just because you CAN buy something doesn't mean you should or that it would be in your best interest long term...

I thought it was clear that I was being sarcastic regarding the term "freest". Far from it.  :-[

I think you're worried about maneuvering the trailer, backing it up etc. Don't be. Don't limit the size of your trailer based on that worry. I'm pulling a 37'er and having had a problem finding good spots, manuevering etc. I'm a newbie. You get used to it. With the new gadgets and gear out...

We've been using the super USB 3 antenna from C. Crane with the wireless repeater. It was about $130 for everything. I mounted it about 4' above the roof on a galvanized steel pipe duct taped to the awning bar. We used to not be able to get any good wifi reception, at best 2 bars from our...

I had a leaky roof that I just coated with an elastometric solvent based coating from "sealbest" called Duck coat. This is temporary. I did a lot of research which as an architect is required for just about every project I'm involved in. Here's what I came up with to be the most cost...

This one's for the thrifty, frugal folks out there. I'm one of those people who can afford 1500/mo rent comfortable but chooses to live in a used TT. Here's what I've learned so far regarding how to save money with a TT 1. generic generic generic! The name brand expensive weight distribution...

Awesome way to go!! I used a $120 generic on demand HWH in an old motorhome I had that worked fantastic. Those $1200 ones are a gimmic.

I seriously doubt you'd have any run in with the local legitimized mafia. I've done and seen several custom roof top cargo carriers and attachments and of course yes folks build their own trailers all the time. Gotta chuckle when you see a question like this. That's why we are the freest...

I just re-sealed my roof. I couldn't use a pressure washer because of some tore off pieces of membrane. I just had a little bucket with hot water, soap and bleach and scrubbed it on my hands and knees and wiped clean with another cloth. Coating is adhering good to the membrane and no leaks so...

yea bed of truck with TT

Before I bought this trailer I searched this forum and others using the keywords "460" or 7.5 or 1993 F350 or older truck towing or whatever and found little. So I wanted to provide this review of my experience towing with this vehicle so others with similar older trucks will have an idea on...

I picked up my very first TT about 3 weeks ago. I drove over 1,000 miles to pick it up. I bought it sight unseen from a dealer, as-is. It is a 1999 Jayco Eagle 376 - its 35' long just the body then a couple extra feet for the tongue. I pull it with a 93 F350. This was my very first tow with a...
