Ya it is a little bit.  My van is a tank. Huge engine, big tranny, hitch is rated for 4000 pounds the trailer weighs (gvwr) 3000 pounds, and I have shit shocks.  To be honest I think buying the trailer was a mistake. There is so much to learn, I’m crazy overwhelmed, and so far none of this is...

I wasn’t trying to make things hard for anyone or be tacky and u grateful to the over night sleeping places. I was just wondering about pressure on the tow vehicle. Thanks though. I can’t imagine people sitting outside and having a party there.

Oh like my motorcycle.  I see what you mean. Thanks.

The title sort of says it all. We are very new at the whole trailer thing. We’ve done some  Traveling in our van and living out of it, but the camper trailer is way new.  When parking overnight say at a Walmart or whatever else do you need to unhitch to take the weight off of the vehicle? Maybe...

Hey everyone- We're going to be going through South Dakota and while looking through Campendium and freecampsites we found a bunch of places. I was wondering if anyone had any places that they've been to in SD that they liked and might want to turn us on to. We're headed toward Rapid City...

@highdesertranger- Thank you so much. I think it is aluminum, so that's super cool. double thumbs up!!

Howdy all-   Elissa and I hope you are all having a brilliant day. I have a question about the roof of my wife and I's camper trailer. We were on a ladder looking for a spot to put the solar panels and noticed that the skin of the roof is loose and it looks like its not flat at all. We've had...

Wow, y'all have been really helpful. Thank you so much. I ended up getting a single wheel which has a weight rating of 1200 pounds and that is the exact weight rating of my tongue or at least it says so on the metal. Elissa and I hooked up the trailer and took an hour or so to pull it out and...

This is good to know. My whole point with the switching is I need to move the trailer in small increments because of where it's at. It's sitting in our driveway between our house and the neighbors fence the distance between is like ten feet or so. This is my first time with a trailer so it...

Hi everyone- I hope everyone is doing well. I was wondering is it possible to replace the foot on the tongue trailer jack with a wheel and if so what are the considerations? Type of wheel and weight that sort of thing. Wishing y'all the best.

We have been looking for either a school bus or a camper trailer since the RTR (which was a blast). Having found one we're bringing the lady a cashiers cheque tonight and "you know who" is going to be towing it back. I'm super anxious about it. It's a small 17 foot 2800 pound GVWR thingy. It's...

I just went out and found the unit saying 'Err01' which according to the manual means it's defective. It actually says, 'the cooling device has switched off due to an internal fault' and that it can only be fixed by an authorized dealer. I'll get ahold of the Dryers people. Kind of a bummer...

It was great!!!!!

Hey All- I have a success story...sort of. We live in Minnesota and the last few days it's been near or below zero. This kind of weather is good to run an engine a little, so you can keep the battery charged and just keep everything working. I didn't do that with the van, and just went out...
