My P30 has 5 lug front and 10 lug rear, wheels are interchangeable. I am running the 8R19.5 on the rear and a metric on the front that is slightly wider and noticeably improves handling and ride.

You should not have lithiums connected to LA batteries.

From post #4; " The rule of thumb for powering motorhomes is 1 hp per 100 lbs. That's "adequate" but not great performance." That math seems really off ... A 8,000 lb. unit would need 80hp to be adequate ?

14 year old thread.

A D.C. to D.C. charger is all that is needed to bridge the gap between LP's and the alternator. I used this one in the 20A version, and you can pump your solar thru it if needed...

I asked this knowing the potential problems doing this if there is movement / settling, in the scenario I'm thinking of the trailer (full width including slide) would be on a concrete pad with all weight off of the axles and frame supported in 6 places. Just spit-balling for now... And yes, I...

What is the school of thought if slides should have ground support if they are to be left out long term...as in months.

My current '92 Flair had a 3/4" spacer block on the left leaf spring pack, I guess they thought it needed it due to the waste tanks being in that corner. All it did was make that corner high and contributed to possible worse handling, I removed it and it sits level now and does drive better.

I initially started this post when my daughter went shopping for a new, as in spankin new TT in the 26' range. Well she landed on one and it is 240/50 with the split phase panel configuration that was layed in post #13. Thanks for the info fellas !

I really hope you are joking on this one, if not it's the worse advise tip I've seen on the web in a long time.

Post #13 is exactly what I would expect in a 50A supply RV

Is 240v / 50a supply the standard for new TT's in the say 24' and larger class or is it still more dependent on "as equipped" ? Are some still 120/30 ?

For any noticable improvement only shop for a 4 chamber pump at a minimum of 50 psi.

Ok how about this, who here owns one with a fiberglass or aluminum roof and what make is the trailer ?

What type roof material is typically used on bumper pull type trailers ? Are there brands that use fiberglass or aluminum or is EPDM the norm ?
