If you can live without a slide and desire a TT that can handle the cold; I recommend Bigfoot.  They have a smaller profile to block the wind so you'll get better mileage pulling it.  Our 27 year old Bigfoot looked better and was far more comfortable than our Arctic Fox.  I can not recommend an...

Thank you all for the recommendations.  It's hard to spend the money when you haven't tested the product.  We bought a memory foam topper from Camper World that I read recommendations on but it slides more than a kindergartner at recess and still allows the springs of the original mattress to...

We need to replace the mattress in our trailer as it's a back's death wish even with a memory foam topper.  I've read many things from Amazon, Walmart and Costco but was wondering what the real world recommended.  We have the short queen.  Our Tempurpedic at home is great but much too pricey...

I have an Arctic Fox 25R that we bought new based on reviews I read.  If it's a "quality" trailer, I am most happy we didn't buy lesser.  The rivets for several of the brackets holding the side skirting and front fascia have have snapped or come undone which necessitated me buying a set of drill...

Try Dennis Dillon out of Boise Idaho.  Their website lists their bottom line pricing and they are very honest people.  I've bought two trucks from Dave Smith in Kellog, Idaho but Dennis Dillon has their prices beat by far.  No negotiation as they print their bottom line.  Good luck.

I do not know anything about that trailer but my wife and I make the Alaskan trip every three years.  The roads are for the most part, very good and improving each trip we go.  This year, there were a few more frost heaves between Tok and Glen Allen than we have seen before but the highway...

Our 26 year old Bigfoot was a far better built trailer than our Arctic Fox.  We bought the Arctic Fox based on reputation and a desire for more room than what we had in the Bigfoot.  We have had some issues with the Arctic Fox that seem to appear on "all" brands as some say here but it's build...

I have much rust on my anti-sway bars and trailer tongue after traveling this winter.  Does anyone have a good product they recommend to coat these pieces with that'll prevent their rusting? Thanks

I have a 22' travel trailer, Bigfoot, that had a very low profile for a trailer and wouldn't have ever entertained the thought of towing it with my Grand Cherokee.  The short wheel base of the Grand Cherokee would make for quite an interesting drive when strong winds hit or a semi goes by. ...

Thank you for your advice.  I never thought of traveling with the furnace on; don't know why because we do with the refer on.  I'll fill the water nearly full and watch the internal temp as we travel to ensure the residual night heat is sufficient.

Just a few questions for you seasoned RVers.  We are desiring to take a trip south this winter (Quartzite, New Mexico, wherever warm) and were wondering how you keep your water tanks and lines from freezing up.  My father lives in Az. and we could travel empty and winter prepped but his water...

The Yamaha 2400 will work jut fine for you.  I tested ours out when it was 90 degrees out by running the air, having the refer on electric and heating a cup of water in the micro and it did just fine.  I started the air out on lowest cool and then increased it to max with no ill affects.  It's...

We had a diesel and went to gas when we bought our new truck.  We never towed as heavy a trailer as you are looking at as ours maxes out at 10,000 pounds.  We have made round trips to Alaska with both the diesel and the gasser,  I have installed a 110 gallon auxilliary tank to help save fuel as...

We have the Arctic Fox 25R and love it.  We bought it 14 months ago and haven't any issues with oxidation.  Momma has some issues with me having wander lust but that is another story.  I wouldn't hesitate in the least to purchase another Arctic Fox.  We bought ours new since the 15 model had...

I had a set of Carlisle tires on our trailer and had one blow with only 300 miles on it.  They were at max pressure the morning of the blowout when I checked them.  We had just come down off a mountain with very curvy narrow roads when it blew.  Our trailer was not overloaded and I was doing 50...
