RE: Axles
There will be a metal tag on the axle tube itself that will list the rating serial number etc.
This is how I would do it.

RE: Power Awning?
I had a power awning on the HTT I just sold. The new Puma comes with a manual awning. Thought I was going to miss that easy press of a switch. Well, I don't miss the power awning at all. I can set the manual up in about 2 minute and I can stake it down if need be. I have a Dometic and like it so far, but it's only a few months old.

RE: Lube slide-outs?
LOL, I was gonna buy some grease, glad I asked first!
I also considered greasing until I read the manual first. My manual states they are maintenance free. It goes on to state grease or wet sprays could do more harm than good. I guess grease would hold sand, gravel etc and then wear on the gearing. I will be using a dry lube from time to time.

RE: Hot hubs
New trailers do not have enough grease on the hubs. I just picked up my 2014 Puma and just like my last trailer, I had to add grease to the hubs. Each wheel took around 15-20 pumps of grease before the hub filled up decent. I would hope some day the dealers start to check this as part of the "dealer prep" fee.

Sold my HTT, got a new trailer!
I sold my Jayco 23B on Sunday and purchased a 2014 Puma 30DBSS. The Ecoboost pulled it beautifully with the Equal-I-zer hitch. Hope to camp this weekend! Not sure why my signature won't show the new trailer..edited in my profile.:h

RE: Wholesale RV Club contact
I have been in contact with him this week, but have not made a purchase yet. As stated above, he is not pushy at all and will answer questions quickly. Seems like he is a good person to deal with.

RE: Running AC on battery power
Just curious that you can plug in at night, but not during the day...Doesn't the campground charge the same rate weather you plug in all day or just at night?

RE: Am I stretching my ecoboost limits?
That still seems too high… for the 145" wheelbase
That's what is on the door.

RE: looking to upgrade from hybrid to hard sided for room...
When our kids were teenagers and brought along friends when camping, they always wanted to bring a tent and stay away from the adults :) Worked pretty well for all of us.
My kids like do the same...at least the boys do. My daughter then gets the camper with her friends. I am trading my Jayco Hybrid today, and I consider an upgrade.;) I would say, the boys would be reluctant to share a double bed, however they do share queen air mattresses in the tent. Best of luck!

RE: Am I stretching my ecoboost limits?
I am considering purchasing a new travel trailer soon. Was wondering what you guys think about tow vehicle to trailer. I have a 2011 F150 Ecoboost 3.5 with Max Towing, 3.73, 11200 GTWR, 1897 Payload, 17100 GCWR.
The trailer I am considering is a Salem 31QBTS.
Dry Weight 8140
Hitch weight 885
Cargo Cap. 2867(will not load more than 1500 tops including fresh water)
I figure total trailer weight to be around 9500-9700 loaded.
let me know your opinions and experience! Thanks
Im sorry but there is no way you have that much payload capacity on a 145" wheelbase. I come in at 1700# with everything you can add for towing minus the HD pkg
I'm sorry, I had a huge typo...it is 1867 payload, not 2867. :S

RE: Anyone here own a Jayco hybrid? setup question
I always removed mine to fold in the bunks. It is much easier to tuck in all of the canvas and close the latches. I'm not sure they would close with them in place. I might just try it again this weekend to see for sure.

RE: Anyone here own a Jayco hybrid? setup question
I have a Jayco 23B. I take the mattress out, fold up the ends making sure to tuck all fabric on the outside as 'dadmomh' stated. I then go back into trailer and the rear mattress on mine can fold and tuck into area between folded bunk end and bathroom wall. I place the support pole inside the folded mattress. On the front, there is a small ledge near along the bed. I place that folded mattress up there and I have 3 straps that go from the seat up to the ceiling that hold that mattress in place. Hope this helps. Rob

RE: Weight capacity ...need some help.
Thanks Brian, this is how I was adding up the math, just was not sure i was doing it correctly. Great info! I will actually be looking in 9000 or under due to the fact I have a fiberglass cap, wife and 3 kids. Roughly 900 pounds family and cap.

RE: Weight capacity ...need some help.
#5753 lbs with fuel tank full
That is what I figured, so I guess I am on the right track.
