I'd look at a Lance trailer.... Great build quality, and quite a rugged little rig.

Hi... I see you are selling your hideout.... The biggest thing to be looking for when upgrading trailers is to balance what you liked in the old... Does the new do it better.... What you didn't like of the old.... Does the new choice solve or improve the problem.... And... Are YOU happy with...

I love mine!! so glad i installed it. it gives me an extra 6" on my tongue jack too. works flawlessly!

Wavery, is that install weather safe... Thanks for the links by the way...

I usually just flush once... my tank doesn't have a built in washing system. I am mainly concerned with things running clear. It usually, dump, flush once, dump grey tanks... done... when we don't use the rig for the rainy part of the winter.... the whole rv gets a good cleaning... all of my...

this particular time I flushed a few times because it needed it. trailer was loaned to a buddy. They didn't clean the tank. my sensors were all haywire. I had the time so I did a really good cleaning. nonetheless just sharing the repair process.

here are some pics...

I cut open the vapor barrier in various places. And pulled a trash can full of insulation out.  I'm gonna let the dehumidifier run till tomorrow evening and then leave the trailer  belly open thru the weekend. And reseal this weekend. Hoping to avoid a mouse invasion.

thanks, for the replies... Ya it was my 4th or 5th flush.. my final for the trip... no carpet got wet... odd... mopped the floor and stuff with a diluted bleach solution.... and am gonna have the carpets cleaned anyway... any recommendations for insulation replacement?

Sooo, During a backflush... i got distracted and didnt hear my alarm... and find my trailer flooded... I have since checked all of the systems.. furnace, hot water, and all accessible compartments... Dry. Everything works... There was a significant amount of water in the furnace ducting...

Ice maker, As in just filling the main tank from time to time via the pump... Hmmm rig it to overflow back to 2nd tank

I could definetly bypass the main tank... But still need to move the fuel in the line... I found a few low psi pumps... Since ill have power anyway... I can run the pump off a switch in the trailer.... Remote start the genny... Bada bing.... Any thoughts...

Sooo, I have a boliy generator. 3600 electric remote start jobber.. Great unit. I am building a custom box for the bumper that will hold a fuel cell and the genny.. It'll be top notch... I'll post pics of drawing and the build process.  I might farm it out to my fabricator for my truck...
