Just check the specs. My brother has one and it lowers the tongue weight rating due to length.

Would something like this work? http://www.rampconnection.com/images/products/receiver-hitch-extension-2.jpg

Hi Bonnie, Welcome to the Forum.  One thing you have to be conscious of when reading on forums, you generally hear more people either complaining about their problems with their units or trying to get help solving a problem.  Very rarely will you see someone start a new thread just to say how...

My boat winch does what BigD is describing.  It's valid and could also be a problem here too.

What you call shimmy is way.  A properly loaded trailer should not sway except with crosswinds or when passed by large vehicles.  Most common issue is not enough tongue weight.  There is an article here on how to weigh the trailer: ...

Been a while since I worked on a popup.  It's possible that the gears on the winch are worn. Another thing that comes to mind, but unlikely.  When you lower it to pack up, do you let it drop or you hold the handle and let it go down smoothly?  The reason I ask is that the former could cause the...

Can't really give you advice, but we are also in a seasonal lot.  The owner mows with a 60" mower behind a farm tractor.  He does not mow around trailers or trees that campers may have planted.  We are responsible to mow our own site, he provides push mowers and gas. Actually, I have an...

Good point Margi. I guess if you want to drag your kids camping (if they don't like camping, than yes it's dragging), it's best to keep them busy with things they like to do.  We do bring the electronics and my son has periods where he's allowed to use them, however we don't let him spend the...

Home computer, not a problem.  Work computer, Java is required.  But Java is even more important in my cup in the morning.

Hi Don, You can use something like a silicone spray or graphite.  The graphite leaves a black residue that's hard to wash, so be careful not to spray any on the walls. Marc...

It also does not look like there are any safe spots to change underwear along the way.

My heart stopped a few times

I do like John (COMer).  I never bothered to put the stab jacks unless I was going to sleep in the trailer.  My first trailer had a flat roof, so I would raise the front for the water to run off.  My current trailer has an arch on the roof, so I don't bother. I don't know if this is the proper...

I miss my '02 Xterra even though I have a 6-speed '12 Xterra.
