I like the idea of how the Andersen hitch can be taken out of the truck bed when not towing. I have been told that with a short bed truck I really need a slider hitch to keep from damaging my truck. How does this work with the Andersen system?  It doesn't slide but will it allow enough clearance...

Does anyone have any first hand information on the Durango fifth wheels by KZ? Build quality, customer service, etc..

I know this has been addressed numerous times but I have to admit that everything regarding trailer weights and tow ratings has me thoroughly confused. I want to upgrade from my travel trailer to a 5 wheel and I am confused about how much weight my truck can really handle. I have a 2015 F250...

I tried to do something good today and do some maintenance on my TT slide.  Note that it was working fine before I fine anything. I bought a dry lube spray for the slide and another spray for the rubber seals from the RV store.  I sprayed the lube on tha exposed cables and then sprayed all of...

If you have a TT with 2 axles and use the Anderson Leveler, do you need to have one under each axle or is 1 leveler sufficient?

Some how I lost / misplaced my receiver hitch pin for my TT. I know you can purchase a new pin almost anywhere, but my question is there a weight rating on these pins? The packaging does not specify any weights, only the size of the pin.

My son and his family are staying in our TT in the back yard while their house is being completed. I need to drain the black tank.  I have a clean out for to my septic system that I can dump into but it is about 35 feet away. Rather than buying several hoses to hook together I would like to use...

I realize that you get what you pay for but do the Progressive electrical management systems (EMS) really provide anymore necessary protection than what you get with their surge protection systems? What experiences have you long time RV and TT owners had?

How do you leave your black tank during periods of storage? Empty, with some clean water in it, with deodorizing chemicals?

I am thinking of getting a satellite TV receiver for my TT.  I am a current Dish network subscriber in my home so it sounds rather inexpensive for the service and I can activate and deactivate it as I please.  The real cost is in the equipment. My question is regarding the antenna.  I can...

So I have seen several threads promoting the use of the Zep Wet Look Floor Finish and that it really puts on a shine. My question is does it provide protection against the elements and does it make wash jobs easier like a good wax job does on my truck?

Believe it or not but a quick spray with Pledge furniture polish in the track works wonders on sliding windows and doors.

I am thinking about constructing a Garage to house our travel trailer. One of my concerns is door height and future trailer upgrades. I have done some research and the tallest fifth wheel I have seen is about 13' 9".  Our trailer is 11' 5" so I am considering a 14' door height. I would make the...

I am looking for suggested feedback regarding how frequently wheel bearings should be packed (greased) on a travel trailer. My TT is only 1 year old and we have currently only traveled about 1500 miles with it over several trips. We are thinking of taking a multi state trip this summer and I was...
