    2622RK Rear Hitch Weight

    Hello, I'm looking to make the move over from my Flagstaff Micro Lite 21DS to a Rockwood Ultra Lite 2622RK and one thing I want to do is pull a jeep behind it either flat tow or on a trailer. Is the rear bumper hitch strong enough to do so? I can't find any info on this. One video, the guy...

    2021 21FBRS tongue weight

    Flagstaff lists the tongue weight at a bit over 400 pounds. I knew this would be much lighter than actual and purchased a WDH rated at 800 pounds. ( I searched the interweb and was unable to find real-world tongue weights for this model. ) Turned out to weigh a bit over 800 when loaded up...

    Weight Distribution Hitch Recommendation

    Great Day, I am just back from my maiden trip with our new FR Wolf Pup. Even though my Tacoma TRD Offroad suspension is beefed up a bit, I still noticed sag and some funny feelings while towing. The Wolf Pup is a 16BHS. I know the tongue weight and load in the truck have a lot to do with the...

    Weight sticker vs. web disclosure

    Weight sticker vs. Web disclsoure. I'm puzzled about max weights. I'm attaching my sticker. I have a 2021 16BHSBL, so realize it is a bit heavier than the web disclosure. The yellow sticker is in kg, but I'm using the translated lbs. The CCC from the yellow sticker sticker seems to be 1,221...

    ladder weight limit

    hello all, I have an odd question, from what the dealer mentioned to us, the general rule of thumb is, if your travel trailer has a ladder to the roof, then that means the roof can be walked on. I assume this is true. we have a geopro 19qb. now the question is, since the ladder can...

    Managing Tongue Weight - 16BHS

    Had the chance to do a weigh in this weekend heading out camping and was a little shocked at the tongue weight - I know these single axle trailers are heavier up front, but ouch. My 2017 16BHS has a written spec of 377lbs, but on the scales I'm seeing 682lbs (including my just weighed 82lb...

    Dynaquest Weight - Fully Loaded

    One of the main reasons I wanted to get a Dynamax/Dynaquest (or any Super C, for that matter) was because I did not want to ever worry about carrying/towing too much weight. With my previous Class A and Class C motorhomes, I was usually right at my maximum GVWR (and sometimes over), especially...

    Deciding on weight distribution hitch rating

    We had a 2200 lb Pop up and now a Hybrid. Coachman Apex 20rbx. No camping allowed yet here in Ontario. We have the equalizer-Fastway E2 hitch with trunnion bars. 6000LB/600lb bars. The trailer is 4100 dry so I think it will stay under 5000 loaded. Question is I used a Princess Auto tongue scale...

    Weight concerns with household furniture?

    We have a 2018 351-THSS, which has a single slide in the living room area where the dinette and couch are located. It's time to do something about the factory furniture, they are well past their life span, especially the "couch". I figure the slide should be rated for a fair amount, because...

    Trailer weight distribution: Would you change anything?

    I am interested in hearing thoughts on my setup. I’ve driven 500 miles and am comfortable with it, though 30mph crosswinds are no fun above 60mph. Without wind it is smooth sailing at 75mph - other than the 7 mpg, I wouldn’t know it’s behind me. This is my first rig and first time setting...
