    Front End Cap Protection

    I have a question I really hope someone can help me with... I have a 2018 Primetime Lacrosse TT with a front end cap that is tan/biege in color. Based on where my trailer is stored (I don't have a choice in this matter so moving it is not an option) the sun beats down on the front end cap for...

    Back Up Camera Signal Solutions???

    I apologize if this has been answered on a previous poll but I searched and couldn't find this exact topic... I purchased a third party (XeroxClub) back up camera for my 37' TT being pulled by my F250. I was able to successfully pair it initially, which requires pushing a button on the camera...

    Lugnut Torque Question

    As the original poster, I find all of this information very insightful. Thanks to those that took the time to provide their points of view. A lot of people could learn something from the old adage "Better safe than sorry"

    Battery Charging Help

    Just a thought... not sure if your storage situation allows it, but i keep my batteries hooked up to a 5 amp solar charger with built in battery tender. More than enough to handle phantom charges. My TT sits for upwards of 4-6 weeks at a time and I've never arrived to a dead battery. I also...

    For those renting your MH:Rental Frequency?

    Is 10 or so rentals a year considered substantial in this field? Here is our situation - We are (loosely) considering "trading up." We currently spend @ $400 per month between our current 2018 TT payment and storage. Rather than taking a hit during trade in, we thought about maintaining our...

    Lugnut Torque Question

    Hello everyone, This may be an obvious question but I keep seeing torque recommendations expressed as "Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage3" Could someone please explain what these stages mean? My guess is that you tighten all wheels to the Stage 1 level before next tightening all wheels to the next...

    ZeroxClub Backup Camera Reccomandation

    Thanks thesameguy. You make some good points. Upon doing my own research it appears that you are correct - nearly everything out there looks to be about the same from a variety of never-heard-of sellers. I'm probably going to wing it because one, it's already in my possession and two, I don't...

    ZeroxClub Backup Camera Reccomandation

    Hello all; For Christmas I received a ZeroxClub 7" Pillow TET_LCD Color Monitor backup camera. It was purchased on Amazon and appears to be one of the more popular backup camera models with a 4 star rating. However, after opening the package this is clearly a "Chinese" manufactured product...

    Question on short term storage?

    I park my TT in storage for 3-5 weeks at a time. I aways disconnect my battery (my rig has a disconnect switch) and connect a 5 watt solar trickle charger with built in battery tender. No matter how long my rig sits, I always arrive to a fully charged battery! I have never had a problem...

    Vehicle and Trailer Weight Determination

    Sorry for the late reply but thank you everyone. Lou thanks for the great information! I actually live in the Tampa Bay area and pass the Bushnell area just about anytime I travel north so I am definitely going to use the Escapee service at some point. Unfortunately the website says that...

    Vehicle and Trailer Weight Determination

    So maybe this is an obvious question but it's one that I have continued to ponder... There is obviously a LOT of talk about trailer weight, gross vehicle weight, tongue weight, axle weight, etc... and then there are weight ratios that are important to consider. My question is, how does one go...
