FWIW, we towed a SmartTrailer, a swivelwheel design, behind our 35' 2005 Montana Big Sky for a couple years, and it did fine. The really nice thing is the ability to back up without any problems. It...

FWIW, I have the TST flow through sensors, and I'd never buy them again. They flow air so slowly that if you need to add more than a couple psi, you'll be at it for quite a while. I simply unscrew...

I try to avoid Amazon as much as possible, as they tend to be higher than a lot of places, especially since they now charge sales tax.

I did some looking for your tire size and found them on...

Shoot, I'd give you mine if it wasn't such a hassle to install the fold out steps. There's no framework to work with. I'd like to meet the guy who decided the SolidSteps were a good idea. I'd give...

Now that's just nonsense. Do you repack the wheel bearings in your other vehicles every year? I check mine every few years, and have never had an issue, over the last 15 years and 3 5th wheels, and 2...

FWIW, our triple axle 383 Fuzion, with two motorcycles loaded, had 12,500 lbs. on the three axles, and had 3,000 lb. pin weight. The GVWR was 18,000 lbs., but it came nowhere near that.

To my mind, the rear of the trailer is not going to move forward backward without the front also moving, and it's locked in place by the JT Strongarms mounted to prevent that. But the rear can move a...

FWIW, you can't "overfill" the EZ-Lube axles as it isn't a closed system, excess grease comes out the front past the grease zerk. While I don't use the EZ-Lube system anymore, I also don't repack...

Well, it may be insurance but it ain't cheap. Putting new tires on my triple axle toyhauler every two years would be foolish. My 6 year old Sailuns still look good, perform well, and didn't lose any...

Didn't anyone read that he had already changed the tires out?

With a 600 mile trip, I certainly wouldn't worry about the bearings. Although it would be a good idea to check the bearing grease at...

I have the TST system with the flow-through sensors. If I had to do it over again, I would skip the flow-through as they are a pain to add more than a couple PSI. They limit the flow rate so that it...

FWIW I tried using some of the FlexSeal spray filler to stop a leaking gutter on the house. I put on three coats, waiting for each to dry between applications. And the gutter still leaks.

Do you also put electrical tape over all the gauges so you're not overwhelmed with information? Personally I got a TPMS so I could quit worrying about my tires.

And I like having enough fuel...

I have the TST with the flow through sensor. If I had to do it over, I would forego the flow through, as they allow such a small amount of air to pass, that it takes a very long time to add as little...

The leak in my Fuzion 383 was from the seam outside on the bedroom slide. The caulking was improperly applied, and you could only tell it from very close examination. The caulking had not adhered to...

I padlock the ramp to keep it from accidentally coming open. I lock the trailer entrance doors when I'm away just to keep casual intruders out. I only lock the basement doors when traveling.
