If you’d like to consider it, I went with the SoftStartRV. It also has a good reputation, is quite a bit smaller than others, and I got a nice deal on them on Amazon. They include everything needed...

Well, I was right. It was the GFCI on the inverted outlets that had tripped. I found an additional outlet by the bed at the very front of the trailer and it had tripped. A simple reset and all of...

Don’t the trailer brakes come into the equation when towing? If the truck is rated to tow the load, doesn’t that mean that the brakes are also within capacity? They don’t publish the specs for no...

The truck is rated to tow 11,000 lbs and pulls the trailer very well. There’s plenty of pickup and passing other vehicles when necessary is just fine. When in Tow/Haul mode, the truck runs...
