Good afternoon all,
Recently purchased a 2018 Wildwood X-Lite, plan on living in it for the next year or so. New to the travel trailer life so any tips and tricks to make life easier are welcome!
Let me first start out by saying, one can never fully get rid of porposing. So, I have a tt that is 34ft long, dry weight around 6900lbs and a tow vehicle 2011 GMC 2500HD diesel. I recently added new shocks, front and back, with Bilstein B8 5100 mono tubes. I am also using a WDH as well. The...
Hi Folks - New to the forum, but we've been camping for decades... Tents, then Pop ups, then Hybrid trailers ( Rockwood Roo). Now approaching retirement and thinking of spending our "Golden Years" travelling the country via RV. Prefer a travel trailer over a 5th wheel or Class A.
Wondering...
Our 2024 Surveyor 252RBLE should be here later this month. Have been looking into the various suspension upgrades to soften the ride and increase durability.
The CRE3000 and wet bolt, shackle upgrade, as well as their X-Brace cross member supports look promising but I have major electrical...
On our recent travel trailer adventure, I tried out a couple of new gadgets. First was a set of two curved leveling devices I got on Amazon. Lots of companies making them. Basically, they’re small ramps you put against the trailer tires of the side you want to raise, and pull up on them until...
My dad's 2015 Rockwood 8312SS signature travel trailer is sitting on a vacant land 2 hours away from us. We need to put it in storage. The storage place wants to know overall length on the trailer. The specs on websites say 34.9 feet. Does that include the bumper to tip of the tongue hitch?
The RVezy platform states that they supply insurance and roadside assistence, etc. I am wondering if anyone had any kind of eperience. Personally, I don't mind renting it out, I have rented once and I have also stayed in AirBnBs, so I am quite ok with the concept. I have a Coachment Apex Nano...
First time user here. My wife and I just sold our Rockwood 2104s in order to buy a Flagstaff microlite 25BSDS the sister company of Rockwood . It is still on order. Hope to receive it by Memorial Day. I was wondering if anyone out there can give us some reviews on their Flagstaff 25BSDS. The...
This may be a weird question. From what I see, galvanized rims seem to be mostly used on boat trailers, but would they be bad for some reason or look dumb on a travel trailer? I would think they would have more corrosion resistance than painted wheels.
I've been looking for tire/wheel...
Hope this is in the right location. I need to buy an extra steel rim for my travel trailer that runs 225/75R/15 with 5 lugs. My question is: Is there a difference between an "automobile" steel rim that might have a matching lug pattern and the rims on my travel trailer? I have a tire to...
Hello, after a month of looking at dozens of trailers, I am no closer to choosing one and it is now leading to sleepless nights. I am a mom with two teens and we will camp for two months in the summer (we've done it before in a tiny terdrop or a tent), hopefully mostly in national parks, if I...
Hi
Just got this 21 27Reis and it is awesome!! Super comfy but a huge trailer for towing around.
At the moment I’m looking to use it for guests that are visiting our home. We all know that the 6 gallon hot water is not up to the task for showers.
How could I hook my hot water from the house...

I just had a fire in my 2020 Puma 31bhss travel trailer! Smoke started coming from under the kitchen sink so i grabbed the fire extinguisher, shut off all power, opened the cabinet where the smoke was coming from. I didn't see a flame just smoke coming from an outlet on the floor under the...
Just traded in our Dynamax REV 24RB for a Rockwood Mini Lite 2511S. We're pulling it with a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. Looking forward to using it in a couple of weeks. For now we're getting acquainted with it in our driveway. :)
We have been tent campers for several years but after some freezing weekends in the 30s and rainy weekends with downpours while tearing down/loading out, we are ready to get our first small (couple) travel trailer. Due to our towing capacity and the fact that it will just be the two of us for...
Good evening,
Has anyone towed a travel trailer with a Ford Transit and if so, did you have an aftermarket hitch receiver installed or do you have the factory installed Heavy Duty towing package?
We have a 24ft 2022 Salem FSX 179DBK. Dry weight is just shy of 3900lbs and loaded is just under...
Greetings from Boise, Idaho. My wife and I just purchased our first travel trailer, ‘22 NoBo 19.6. Purchasing in October in Idaho means we got a great deal, but unfortunately it also means we won’t be using it until early spring :mad:
We are in love with this floor plan and so excited to use...
I have a Forest River Salem 28RLSS 2018 Travel Trailer. I just removed the Shore Power and the Travel trailer still has power from the batteries. I have a Xantrex Freedom X 1200 Inverter that appears to be off but I still have power. Does anyone here have the same set up? Do I have to...
