    Mini Lite frameless window questions

    Been looking at the 2109s Mini Lite and I like the trailer floor-plan and construction, but one of my concerns are the windows. I was surprised at how little they open, about 2" at the bottom. I opened every window in the trailer and could not feel a cross breeze. The emergency escape window...

    Issue of frame damage cause by weight distribution hitch

    I use an Equal-i-zer brand WDH and anti-sway hitch. I've recently read several stories about the WDH, when going over inclines like a step entrance into a gas station or rough roads, causing enough stress between the tow vehicle and the trailer frame to cause the trailer frame to bend. I've seen...

    Heard a scraping noise and found the pump hanging from hoses and cables. The mount is welded to the frame with a arm that extends inward for the pump to sit on. The arm broke off of the plate that is welded to the frame. I had noticed awhile back that the pump looked like it was hanging a little...

    12V - Neutral to Frame or Bus Bar?

    As I look at my panel, I see that the 12V bus bar is not being used (but the 120V is). I am adding a small ventilation fan (DC12V, 1.44W, 0.12A) and I have two questions: Can I use the 16 guage 12V duplex "landscape lighting" wire that I have on hand? Seems like it would should work in this...

    Can an air conditioner be put on the roof of an A-frame camper.?

    Replacing a frameless window with the older frame window

    I tried a search but didn't find anything. Has anyone replaced the frameless windows with the old style frame windows? The new frameless windows are a bit of a joke where air flow is concerned. TIA.

    Very Heavy A-Frame Roof Panels

    I have a folding hard-wall a-frame trailer. It has the front and rear roof panels that rise up, with the torsion bars front and back which are supposed to make the lifting totally easy. And it was easy, when the trailer was new. Over the past four years, the roof panels got heavier and...

    I have a 2022 Vibe 28RL. The frame around the cubby on one corner is not tight to the camper body and as a result has leaked.
