Here in New Mexico it's windy a lot. I was driving my Dutchmen Denali 2611bh back from a camping trip. Winds were constant 25-30 mph, I have the Blue Ox Sway Pro hitch. My stupidity was that I was towing at 75 mph with my Dodge diesel. When I got in interstate 25 the winds were directly from my...

The last time I had the trailer out, I let the awning retract without holding the strap, so it zipped all the way back up against the trailer....it went before I could get hold of the strap. Now when I extend it, it won't go all the way out, it stops before the end of the extension, probably...

I'm using a EU3000is.  I was going to make a rear hitch, but with two mounts rather than one, welded to the frame and bumper, then after posting in the towables forum, I decided to make a mount for the front of the trailer, adding tongue weight, but I'm using a WD hitch with sway control...the...

I have the Honda EU3000is, its super quiet and runs my 13500 AC without a problem...

lol....i'll have to make a few more calculations I guess....

Sorry Carl, I was reading alittle too quickly from work.....The listed value on Trialer Life is 12,500d for Conventional. I've been thinking about what you guys are saying, even though I built the upper part of the mount, I'm starting to dislike the idea of throwing the balance out, i.e. less...

I'm not even close to hitting the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating...if you know about light trailers, they weigh alittle, but still have higher Gross weight ratings....I can load almost 2000 pounds on the trailer.  I did do a calculation on the rear hitch/mount, which would only take approximately...

Also forgot to say, I'm towing with a 2002 Ford F250 4x4 Powerstroke....Crew Cab, short bed

a friend I work with had the same truck as you and was towing a 36' 5th wheel.  He had the performance upgrades as you did, he also added the air bags in the suspension.  He towed everywhere with that setup.  He recently bought a new 2005 dually Dodge diesel.  His new truck is a 6 speed...

I've got a 2004 R-Vision Trail-Cruiser 19 RDB TT.  I just picked it up recently, but haven't loaded it the way I plan as of yet. What I plan on doing is putting my 2005 Polaris 700 EFI ATV in the back of the truck.  The machine with winch, accessories, etc. probably weighs around 900...

I talked to the local dealer here.  They said that it is possible, basically you put a block in between the torsion axle mount and the frame, kind of like a lift kit on a truck with leaf springs.  They said the max you can go is around 4".  Thanks for the info.

Hey All, I'm new to the forum.  Been looking at getting a Travel Trailer, tired of sleeping in the tent. Anyways, I was looking at the different axle setups.  I will be taking my trailer off-road here in New Mexico, and because I will be going offroad, I'm looking at a 18-21 foot trailer, but I...
