No!  I didn't know that post existed.  I had done a bit of searching for things to do with tires and dates, but that didn't show up.  Thank you so much!  I will check it out.

I've been searching online for how to determine the year of manufacture on a tire, but the explanations I've found and the pictures I've seen don't match up with the info I've got on the tires on the tent trailer we're considering buying.  Here's what I've got: Duro Trailer Then there...

Thank you all for your wonderful advice.  I've printed it out and am using it as we have the trailer with us for the day.  The owner put insurance on it for us and we've towed it, which went very well and we barely used more gas than we'd use without a trailer going to town and back, according...

We have our eye on a 1996 Palomino tent-trailer.  We've never owned one before and are unsure what things we should be looking out for in it before making a final decision whether to buy it or not.  Does anyone have any advice as to what we should test out or look for?  Of course, we'll look for...

We might be buying a popup trailer soon (found someone interested in doing a trade for our motorhome plus they give us some cash to make up the price difference).  Just wondering if anyone has any experience towing one behind a half-ton Suburban.  I'm not even sure how many feet this trailer...

Thank you, Paul.  This makes sense and I suspect this is the case.  Hubby's headed in to town now to talk to someone about an adapter. Thank you, everyone, for your input!

Yeah, it failed still, and no more detail.  Dunno what we're doing wrong... and dunno how to do it right, either.

Sorry, I didn't explain much.  Was just feeling out whether or not anyone on this site could potentially help.  Wasn't sure questions about utility trailers were applicable on an RV site, but maybe a trailer is a trailer after all. There are four wires involved.  The ground wire is ground to...

I wonder if anyone in here might have an idea as to what needs to be done to make the brake lights and signal lights operate properly? I remember my dad used to have the same problem, fighting with the wiring to get the signal lights to respond appropriately to the signal switch in the...

Thanks for all the replies.  I will read them to my husband later when I'm finished work (he has dyslexia so I'm the reader, he's the understander as a lot of this stuff is foreign to completely-non-mechanical me) and see what he can do. I know that when we still had the house batteries in the...

The house batteries on our motorhome are dead.  We're trying to sell the motorhome so aren't going to bother buying batteries for it in case it doesn't sell before winter.  I understand the house batteries would need to be cycled in order to keep them alive, which we don't have time to do. My...

Recently I read about someone selling a 2009 L.T.D. 176 Flag Staff by Forest River, asking $5000 obo (Canadian), only been used twice.  Does anyone have any opinions on Flagstaff, good or bad? Thanks, Squirrel

I'm thinking that, too.  I'm so paranoid about fuel economy, having no choice but to drive something big (my Suburban) with my large family. Wow, you get 19.8 on an F150?  My husband's got an '86 Ford Ranger and it's worse on fuel than our Suburban which gets around 16, according to the...

Drove by the trailer again and got the name so I could look up a picture to share here.  I can't figure out how to post pictures in here - can it be done?  Anyway, here is the link to one like it: http://www.lensrv.ca/0126.jpg It's called a Sun Lite Discovery trailer.

Ever seen something like I saw today in someone's yard for sale?  This thing was a 19' travel trailer, 1994, weighed 3000 lbs dry, sleeps 6, when it's being pulled it 5 feet high, and when you park to camp it cranks up to 6-1/2 feet high?  I phoned the number for more info but nobody answered. ...
