No! Unless your camper is in a heated building.

First you are looking at dry weight when you should be looking at the GVWR. It is on a placard somewhere on the trailer. Towing a 32' camper with an f150? Been there done that. F150 max tow with 3.5 ecoboost. Been from Florida to the rockies twice. Would I recommend it. Hell no. I have a ton of...

Flat spots on those tires from sitting

Like the post above I use a tounge weight scale and weigh my loaded truck and trailer at a truck stop scale. I also redistribute weight in the trailer to balance the load. You certainly don't want to be light in the front end. Sherline LM Trailer Tongue Weight Scale

Well I had the rv repair guy out. Turns out the roller wasn't bent. It was just the way I tried to roll in the awning. The electric motor was dead. New motor all all is good once again. Sure feels good to have it working.

Yep No doubt another expensive lesson

Well that is exactly the information I was looking for. One is about as good as the other

No straightening. Just get the next one. I screwed up. I certainly knew better. Always leave your awning tilted for water runoff or retract it before a storm. Our recent heavy rain caught me unprepared. Just inconvenient timing.

mine is a little more than slight. I even tried the manual retraction technique and that is when I realized just how bad it was bent

Well I've done it again. Let the rain bend the roller tube on my 20' awning. I have done this on previous campers but that has been years ago. I know better but I was away when it happened. Anyway this is the dometic 9100. My question is should I replace it with another dometic roller or is...

After sewage travels through about 2' of soil it is basically clean. Microbes eat up the waste converting in to nitrates. The main problems from sewage is ground water contamination and the fertilizer effect of the nitrates and phosphorus left over from the bacteria eating up the waste on our...

We used the 55 gal. Drum in a hole full of gravel years ago but county health departments frown on them these days. As long as nobody knows that system will work well for occasional use. Here in Florida with the high water table you almost have to have an above ground mound system.

Or you can call your local portable toilet company and have them set a holding tank and they will come out and pump it out when you need to.

Now this is for a 5th wheel or travel trailer.. I use a 4' builders level. Not a technique I use for just an overnight stay. Pretty quick though. Front to back shouldn't be any problem for anyone. Side to side. I carry 2 8' 2x10's and an 8' straight 2x4. Pick the spot where your wheels will be...

Want to move my spare off the back bumper. Have a cargo carrier I want to install that folds up when not in use. It's just to carry my deck box with hoses and blower and other outdoor essentials from place to place. Well I found this item in several places on the internet for a reasonable...
