    I will have to disagree with you, I just sold my 91 award 30 footer and it was covered by adco...the dirtiest under the cover since dust must get through, a heavy tarpaulin which worked great but extremely heavy and GREY reinforce poly tarp for almost 10 years and never had any mold or other...

    covers

    I have used the adco covers in the past and they would only last 2 years before the material would fatigue and or ripe. I bought a true canvas and to cover a 30 foot trailer it was unbelievably heavy and quite a chore to put on or remove. I finally switched to the reinforced Poly tarps that...

    I towed many years with a F150, my nephew works for ford so we analysized how ford was able to increase the tow capacity of the F350 by several thousand ponds and the only difference we found was a much larger trans cooler and synthetic oil in the differentials. I switched to that set up. You...

Now doing this you need to...

    Tow Vehicle tire inflation

    I don't know what year trailer you have s I don't know what the weights are, I know it may sound confusing if the the trailer states that, someone is wrong since the tire manufacturers strongly advises that you match your PSI to the load to prevent a hazardous situation.
