70 the whole way thru PA? Not south at Washington, PA to 79 to 69? Someone suggested that route because its faster, but Im more concerned with steep grades than setting speed records. Us

Looking for suggested route from Columbus, Ohio to DC.  I know I gotta cross mountains, but looking for a not so scary route towing a 27Ft trailer.  ::) Thanks Us

Hi everyone - we just completed our virgin voyage with our TT. I have several questions having been through it once now. Here goes... 1) we only stayed one night, family of 4 average waste... Dump the black tank or leave it until the next trip? We dumped em. Our next trip wont be for a month...

Towed to Indianapolis and back about 300 miles and the trailer towed much much better this time. Ive found that just loosening and tightening those nuts on the sockets made it much more manageable to get on and off. Also partially filled the fresh tank before leaving and that seemed to help with...

How do you measure how much weight you have on the tongue at any given point?

Yes, the dealer wouldnt touch em because he said it causes problems if you loosen them even though Equilizer said that it was fine as long as they are between 45-65ftlbs. He said he would just wait til they got worn on their own and they'd loosen up. I'm impatient and prefer to not throw my back...

OK! Well, I took it back to the dealer who quickly noticed the trailer was riding nose up and wasn't installed correctly. They dropped the ball, reinstalled the L brackets correctly and everything is much more level. I noticed right away it handling a bit better. On the freeway I noticed the...

I have a powered jack so that at least has made hunting for that sweetspot a little more managable. The pictures i took are too big to upload without some massaging and i cant do that from my ipad. Ill get pictures posted soon.

Ok i had some time tonight to investigate some of these things. First and foremost, the angle set screw wasnt even close to tight, so that was the first thing i did. Then i leveled up the trailer for comparison to the ball height of the hitch.  I think its WAY too high but thats me. Next i...

So I spoke with the manufacturer on the phone and they said many of the same things you guys have said. At this point on my hitch todo list is 1) check the set screw because im 90% sure its not tightened down 2) Loosen and retighten the socket screws to a minimum 45ftlbs 3) recheck everything...

I tried to go back through the manual and the setup if its wrong i don't think is terribly off if it is. I think maybe the bolts on the sway sockets might be too tight or something. I was afraid to mess with them until i know how tight they should be.  Its kind of a crucial junction point to be...

Rene - They didnt show me much and honestly, the way they installed it, wasnt by the book. I figured they had a lot of experience installing them and knew what they were doing. Glock - Yes i HAVE to use the cheater bar otherwise id stand no chance in getting it on the brackets. By lowering the...

Hey all - Im towing a 27' primetime avenger ati and i have a dealer installed equalizer hitch on my jeep cherokee. Im having some crazy difficulty getting the sway bars on and off.  I try and try to find the sweetspot of tension to move them on and off by raising and lowering the tongue, but...

Are they that universal that id be able to get one at HD?  :o

How quickly does a water heater element blow if you run the water heater with no water in it? Is it easily replacable?  :-\
