trailer

How warm should the trailer brakes be after running? I went out for a test after replacing leaf springs and touched the drums and they were HOT, couldnt leave your hands on for any amount of time. this trailer is relatively new to me, went out twice end of last year but did not check for heat...

I literally just purchased a trailer and got rear ended on the way home. Fender was bent from impact and upon inspection, I notice the wheel is not centered. It is slightly bent outwards. Do I need to replace the entire axle? It’s a torsion axle don’t know if I’m able to just replace the torsion...

Hello all, Does anyone have a breaker description for a 1996 Salem. Bought one and there is a couple wires disconnected and trying to figure out what goes where. Thank you!

I have a 2022 Berkshire XLT 45A motorhome and recently got an ATC ROM 550 car hauler for getting my car or motorcycles to the track. It does not have an AC unit yet but it is pre-wired for it and I am going to get one installed as in the hotter months it gets pretty toasty inside there so...

Hi, This is all very confusing and I hope someone can shed some light on it! I am about to purchase the pop up trailer above from someone and asked for the title and registration (to prove it is his and no liens etc) - been a long time since I bought anything privately. I am in California...

Hello! We are out for our maiden voyage in our new 2023 Heritage Glenn 26bhhl and the AC won’t kick on. What info can I give you… plugged into shore power. Everything else is functioning as expected. The thermostat DOES get the furnace to kick on but it will not kick on the AC or even just the...

I have a Rockwood Signature 8263MBR with a Go Power GP-PWM-30-UL controller and 200 watt panel on the roof. The trailer came with two 81 Ah lead acid batteries that got very discharged this winter so I bought two 12V 100 Ah lithium batteries from LiTime. I charged and installed them in parallel...

Hey all - background - 2018/2019 Gray Wolf 20RDSE travel trailer - I was having issues with inconsistent behavior with my marker lights and sometimes the directional lights - so I replaced the 7 pin trailer side connector & pig tail. I carefully took pictures and noted which connectors went...

Many times I will get in conversations with folks, who mean well. But have little to no understanding of the simple differences between a Motorhome, Campervan, Class B or B+, hitch weight, In-house, and chassis batteries. Other than miles of TEXT. How do you know the person you are talking with...

I was searching existing threads for something along these lines, but nothing directly related seemed to be out there. It's been one of the interesting things to me in RV sub-culture and there seems to be little consensus. How do you refer to your travel trailer? RV, Travel Trailer, Rig...

Good morning. I have a brand new 2024 Chevrolet 2500 Duramax diesel and a brand new Cedar Creek experience 2024, 35 foot fifth wheel. Every time I hook the trailer to the truck the trailer brakes disconnect. The RV dealership says nothing is wrong with the trailer. And of course Chevrolet says...

Put in 2 Life4PO 100 Ah batteries by adding a new battery rack. Looking at the picture of the wall plug and usb charger. I took out all the 1.2 chargers and added QC3.0 chargers. That wall plug and usb charger are on the left side. I took out the right side and made a shoe storage taking the...

hello all our first trip is coming up, andwithin the last 6 months, my tow vehicle, a 2020 jeep gladiator, has developed the death wobble, and the (recalled) part is on indefinite (maybe? aug/sept 2024) back order through the dealer. I've done all the other required suggestions to help alleviate...

Greetings, I have a 36BHBS that has been sitting stationary in a trailer park for about 5 years. Last season we noticed that the floor is starting to slope down towards the front right corner. I set up a marker point on the trailer relative to the surrounding deck prior to closing last year and...

On a recent trip our 2018 Mini Lite was sideswiped by a truck, hit and run. The damage appeared to be superficial, so we continued our trip. However, during the trip we noticed clues that all was not well. When we returned and I took it to a repair shop we discovered the frame was cracked...

This past weekend when we woke up to snow on the ground, I found we had no water in the trailer. Through some troubleshooting I found the water line from the tank to the pump was frozen. I found the line drops below the plastic sheeting below the trailer, and ties into the tee in the picture...

I am hoping someone can give me some new suggestions to prevent our travel trailer from sinking. Our Windjammer has 3 slides. 2 are ODS and both are large slides. That makes that side heavier than the door side. We carefully level the trailer and use good boards under the wheels on the ODS...

For now, I'm asking Surveyor owners, because of the consistency of design and parts but I'll measure the axle centers in a bit and anyone with the same configuration, is welcome to join in. I'm interested in toughness (for minor off roading / boondocking and smoothness. There can be trade offs...

I have a 2021 Surveyor 19RBLE which is a single Axle unit with a 4,400 Lb. axle rating. I have never been happy with the performance of the brakes (10" x 2 1/4"). I have even replaced the complete backing plate assembly L&R and hubs. I towed it behand a 2020 Explorer with a RedArc controller, A...

Hello, I have a new, 2024 Alta, East to West travel trailer. When I plug the trailer into power, the refrigerator turns on. My question is, if I have the fridge turned off by holding the power button for 10 seconds, why does it turn on when power is applied to the trailer? Is there a way to...

Hello all, Happy Wednesday evening! I have been offsite for some time now but after some successful surgery last year I am now ready and able to get back to camping! Plus, I hope to retire the end of this year so even more time to go camping (I hope!). DW and I just picked up our new 2024...

I'm guessing she was trying to be like Lucy in The Long Long Trailer? Bad decision. https://nypost.com/2024/04/07/us-news/li-woman-killed-when-she-flies-out-of-door-of-airstream-trailer-during-family-road-trip/

I have a 2019 Surveyor 19BHLE. I just arrived in Phoenix after a trip from the Midwest. I noticed when I left last night’s campground this morning, there was a noise (not really a squeak or squeal) from one of both of the trailer brakes the first time I stepped on the brake pedal (at the...

Hi folks, As the title says I'm a newbie to living in a travel trailer. Never even owned one before. I've been sleeping in my tow vehicle since late August 2023. Worked construction since then up until February 12th. Saved up enough for a down payment and shopped around. Landed on a 2020 Forest...
