    Just finished my DYI Stabilizer Bars on my Toy Hauler

    Have a trip planned for the end of the month to assess the situation if I need to or not. I see all the kits have that covered but I have to do some measuring and figure out what I would need there. I know locking up the front will make a huge difference though.

    Just finished my DYI Stabilizer Bars on my Toy Hauler

    After install I checked it with a shove ... Camper is rock solid. I have a strong piece of 2x2 square tubing that runs across the front only an inch or so behind the landing gear center line. Perfect mounting... But I know what you mean, my last one had nothing structural between the frame rails.

    Interesting how you can get tunnel vision,,, I never considered square tubing but I bet it would have worked easier if I did not have all the extra hardware laying a around and had to make mounting hardware.

    Just finished my DYI Stabilizer Bars on my Toy Hauler

    I wanted to firm up my shaky toy hauler with some stabilizer bars but did not want to shell out the $300 to buy a ready made kit. I spent $70 for some steel and a few dollars at the home depot for misc hardware. I had a bunch of nice parts to re-purpose for this project so that saved me a bunch...

    Carrying extra fuel cans

    Bed mounted transfer tanks. Mounted, large capacity and safe. Lots of styles to find one that will fit most everything Just carry a couple 5gal cans to transfer if you need. Sorry,,, did not notice we are taking about an SUV... Not a great idea inside I suppose. Look under your trailer... Why...

    Proper way to dispose of antifreeze

    Why are you getting rid of it... It is not going bad. When I dewinterize I end up reclaiming about 2/3rds back into the jugs I saved and reuse it the next time. Throwing money literally down the drain...

    LED Lighting conversion on the CHEAP!

    What a coincidence, I am near Atlanta... Right in Acworth and spend a bunch of time at Durhamtown or out at Highland park running my toys around... And I want to change out my lights... I have a toy hauler full of halogen heaters. Really would like to change these out. Summers coming... 8) I...

    Best Grills for RVing

    I have a NexGrill that we got at Costco a few years back. Great size for camping. Enough space for 6 to 8 burgers or a cut up chicken or 4 strip steaks.... Top has latches and so easy to carry. The drip tray slides out for cleaning, the grate is 1/4 rod and they are spaced apart close enough you...

    Has anyone converted a toyhauler to a travel trailer?

    We have a Dutchman Voltage 3200... Dual axle 16k 5th wheel. We turn the garage into an apartment for my son after we move the toys out... There are a couple issues with your scenario to consider. First is the overall weight. A toy hauler is generally going to be a heavier trailer, by a good bit...

    What do you want in your next rig?

    What I would like... Craftsmanship and pride in construction. Sick of getting poor quality & bad designs, regardless of the price tag. I am actively seeking to get my rig inside. Otherwise I will have a pile of scrap in 2 years.

    Tire price

    I got in the habit of replacing tires 2 at a time on my old truck... New ones on the front, old ones to the back and sell the take offs back to Discount Tire. Kept them nice and fresh and my wallet relatively stable. Not sure what I will do with my new DRW... Not looking forward to 6 at once...

    Just joined the fun near Atlanta, Ga

    What toys are you going to haul? These like to have some weight in the garage to take some pin weight from the truck when hauling. We are outside Atlanta too (Cobb) This is a great state to camp in. Lots of great parks and destinations within a couple /few hours...

    Changing to 17.5's, are Geostars any good?

    I want to change to 17.5's on my toy hauler and wondering if anyone has any experience with Geostar LT215/75 17.5 tires. They are relatively inexpensive. I am usually running at 70 +/- so I want something that will hold up well. I have no confidence in the current ST 235 80 16's I have on it...

    Upgrading landing gear

    Going the electric route sounds like the best way... Do you have any problem with synchronization or is the crossbar still used to maintain that? Or do you use a control switch for each one?
