And the weight police are silenced. Your numbers are way lower than mine and I am well within specs with a Ram 3500 LB SRW. A lot of the guys on here are still towing older trailers with older...

I used this on my old awning

I used this on my awning on my old trailer every year before storage and made life really easy. I would spray it on and let it it sit for 5-10 min and hit it with the soft Rv brush on an extension....

I guess my threshold for tolerance and yours are not the same. I didn’t say my buthole didn’t pucker some just that I didn’t feel like I never had problems controlling my rig.

Like I said pointless to disagree. As I said I am within my weight limits without a dually. I have actually towed with a dually and got rid of it because I was sick of people trashing my fenders in...

I actually have and this is what is funny to me about the members on here that always assume the weights of vehicles. The sticker on my truck now is 4390. My pin weight on my trailer after SxS and...

If you go off what some of the members on this forum say then probably 99% of people pulling 5th wheels with a 3/4 ton pick up would be overloaded. I see more people pulling 13-15k 5th wheels with a...

This happened to mine after sitting for awhile and I think it was just air in the propane line. I reset it a couple of times by flipping the outside switch off and on and it ended up firing up. I ran...

In the west most speed limits are 70-80 on the open freeways so I usually go between 65-72. That’s pulling an 18k 5th wheel. No worries about stopping or flow of traffic since these new trucks and...

Sorry it was on the first page about the truck stopping the trailer. The reality is these trailers have brakes to stop themselves and these newer vehicles have controllers with instantaneous response...

It looks like the dually is squatting more from the pics. Maybe just angle but the 5th wheel is also smaller than the Ford or GMC. Maybe newer trucks with better suspensions? I know most of the newer...

Dumb comment. That’s why you have trailer brakes. Just make sure your brakes are set to pull against the tow vehicle. Yes these new SUV’s have trailer controls like trucks.

I was being a little facetious in my comment because I see a lot of comment about 20-25% pin weight on heavy trailers such as mine, 20k gvwr, but being a toy hauler the majority of...

Tow hauler true pin weights

So all of these numbers only apply to 5th wheels that are not toy haulers since most of the weight of a toy hauler is in the rear?

Actual advise for max turn technology

Really why? A semi can do it but a small truck can’t? Bullkoki. If we stuck to that reasoning we would still be pulling 30 ft 12k trailers with 1/2 ton trucks. Oh wait we did that for 20+ years.

Funny old guys

I am interested to know how many of you have actually towed 20k behind a truck. I’m going to say not many since most of you criticizing my comments don’t have a truck made within the last 5 years....

Yellow sticker hot garbage

I am sick of people talking about the yellow door sticker. It is base model tires at the gross weight. The tires that come on these trucks are for the most part base level. I bought ProComp At tires...
