Keystone Drilled a hole in my water tank.

I have a 2014 Keystone Laredo 303TG, and for some reason this issue didn't appear until now. We take about 4-6 trips every year, and I usually keep some water in the onboard fresh water tank. ...

I remember seeing on another thread, someone though the TG stood for "Tail Gater" because of the outside kitchen. But who knows? I have a 303TG.

It looks like your hitch is set up properly. The WD bars are designed to transfer some of the TW to the front end. I see from your weights, that without the bars, a lot of weight was taken off the...

HAha, ok, had a feeling that was coming. In theory I would love to travel the country with that as my TV, but in reality I would hate to have to squeeze into campsites with it.

I do believe that truck wt vs trailer wt is one factor in the stability of the setup, but that doesn't mean the truck should weigh MORE than the trailer. For some that is possible, but when you get...

I have a Laredo 303TG with the U dinette and had the same thought. If there was outside access the storage would be so much more useful. I am not brave enough to take a saw to my trailer though.

50 AMP service has 2 hots (120V, 50 AMP) 1 neutral and 1 ground. So you really...
