2011 Tango 276RB
Looking for owners of the specific model 2011 Tango 276RB, but would also like to hear from Tango owners of all types. Would be towed with a 1/2 ton. Thanks.

RE: Considering toy hauler please advise
I totally understand your math concerns and they fit in with the majority of RV owners. When you really crunch the numbers, over time, most of us aren't saving any lodging money.
However, we have all seen the credit card commercials where they break down the cost of several little things, and end up with the end result becoming "priceless".
I consider the ability to take my family in our 'mobile hotel' to being "priceless". Staying in a hotel room doesn't even come close to compare to the intimacy one gets from RV'ing, be it in a busy campground or remote dry camp.
Spend a good amount of time finding what would work best for you and your family and get out there and "go RV'ing"!

RE: Confused Newbie
Great info on the previous post. Towing a boat to the local ramp is one thing, towing a TT across the country is a completely different beast. With your TV, keep it on the lightest side.

RE: Possible bad alignment on axles after repair?
Sounds to me like you are in the right.
May be a good letter to send into "Trailer Life" magazine. They dedicate a section monthly to folks that have dealt with issues such as yours. If they like it, they publish your frustrations with hopes the folks that did the work reply with an apology and fix/settlement.
Make sure you keep up the fight with the company that did the work, if you feel you have exhausted all your efforts, then a letter to "Trailer Life" may work for you.

RE: Odor
Is the odor consistent? Or is the odor present when the bathroom ceiling fan is operating and toilet valve is open at the same time the odor is present? I learned pretty quick, to shut the ceiling fan off every time the bathroom is "occupied".
Ball valve in toilet may not be fully closing either, allowing all that unwanted odor to vent. Telltale would obviously be if water wasn't staying in bowl with valve closed for an extended period.

RE: No satellite signal thru the cable input
Easiest solution is to purchase a 4' section of flat coax with a couple of double males. Then run coax thru a window directly to your cable box.
The RV cable isn't the problem, it's where the cable inside the RV splits to the rest of the trailer where the lack of signal starts. (Directv doesn't like in-line splitting before the "satellite-in") The interior splitting can be found at the 12v/coax/batwing switch/plate part in your trailer. There is a diagram somewhere in the forums on how to bypass this. I am not savvy enough to attach it, I am sure someone will.
Over the last 6 years, I have taken the lazy way and run the flat coax thru a window. The flat cable allows you to close windows tight enough to avoid bugs and cooling/heat loss.

RE: Raptor 300MP can I pull it?
Trailer weight would be a good variable. But I am leaning towards the "good to go" side!

RE: Tow Vehical Recomendation
What is the dry weight of your trailer? This is a good variable for opinions. My thought, without knowing the weight and going off your RV length is, too much for ANY 1/2 ton.
5365
GVWR=7500
The one at Terril Camping Center, has a Yellow sticker weight of 5800lbs. That is how it sits on the lot with all installed options. Could 5365 be the Brochure weight? It is a very nice TT, But more weight than I wanted with my 04 150. It wouild have put me close to 7000lb loaded.
The numbers posted on each RV are specific individually. I would surmise that the 5365 was the manufacturers average weight with less options than the TT you are looking at.

RE: washing roof?
Ditto on the soft brush, Thetford makes a good "rubber roof cleaner and conditioner". Twice a year (minimum) cleaning up here in the Pacific NW keeps the roof looking good!

RE: 3/4 ton -- why bother?
Payload is one of the few differences. Gear ratio is a big one. For Ford you are looking at a difference (at least in my 2000 F-250) of 3:73 to 4:10 (F-350). With the appropriate trailer, a 3/4 ton can be more fuel efficient than a 1 ton.
That being said, we could continue on up to F-450's....etc. :)

RE: running a/c on 110 at home
The problem is a slow start to your AC motor. If you dont have the right amount of juice (even if your AC turns over) you could be damaging your motor.

RE: This means war (on mice)..
Second the old fashioned trap with cheese. However, adding peanut butter mixed with the cheese seems to force the mice to 'stick' around the trigger mechanism a little longer.

RE: Refer extra fan or fans
We have used a simple fan from Camping World that uses 2 size "D" batteries. Put it on the bottom shelf of the fridge when in use. The key is to not "smother" it with food and give it space to circulate. Works great for us!

RE: slide out room stuck
Check the switch!
Robsouth, as far as posting twice, did you consider that the OP are in a campground, need to get home, and posted their question in a couple of different forum topics to cover all their bases in hopes of looking for some immediate suggestions?

RE: looking for info on towing a 30ft xlr
Alleged capability doesn't equal to comfort/confidence for the driver. I am leaning towards a 3/4 ton pickup.

RE: RV Wash
Good question! I don't have a solid answer but I would check into Ellensburg and/or North Bend. Both have long hauler 'trucker' stops.

RE: Uneven tire wear on RV/5'er
"Transmaster", made in Taiwan. 235/80/16, 5 ply, load range D. The wear is realtivley even all the way across on driver side, but outsides are more worn than middle. Max is 65 PSI, tow them at 63 PSI all the way around. I was wrong on the year, original tires since 2006, not 2005.

Uneven tire wear on RV/5'er
Over the past few years after regular rotation of tires, I have noticed a significant uneven tire wear on the port/driver side of my RV tires compared to starboard/passenger side. Dual axle setup. Ideas? Fixes? Original tires since 2005 with above average use/mileage.
