RE: 12 Volt Outlets
I put one next to the bed so I can use my Cpap while boondocking.

RE: Supplies for your Toy Hauler/Trailer
We have all the cooking and cleaning utensils, extra cloths and towels. Pretty much standard stuff for a trailer.
We also keep. A basic tool set, tire pump In case the toys need servicing while out on an excursion.
Riding gear.
Blocks and boards for leveling.
We also keep playing cards for games after dinner.

RE: Puma unleashed 356
We have a 2011 Puma 298fqu. No slide, no generator no kids and works great for us. As stated before, it's not finished out like a Raptor which is fine. In 8 years we will likely replace it for a new trailer anyway.
Our quads are Ranchers and without the garage wall like the 356, we drive one in and rotate the other.
In the two years we've owned the trailer, i've yet to have the 'why'd they do that' thought regarding anything in the trailer.

RE: Counting propane as tongue weight.
Don't forget the batteries also. If you have two batteries, that adds quite o bit of weight close to the tongue.

RE: anyone towing 12000 lb 5th wheel with 3/4 ton pick up
Our trailer is about 10,500 lb fully loaded. The pin weight is about 2,300 lbs. this puts my truck at GVWR. It hauls and brakes fine but I can't see adding another 3,500 lbs safely.

RE: 12v Socket Stops Working
Interesting comments. Yes, the inverter.
I am curious about the socket installation also. I could not find where the dealer connected he 12v wire, so now I'll check the adjacent outlets.
Would it be better to connect the 12v outlet direct to the batteries since the outlet is directly above them?
Thanks.

12v Socket Stops Working
This one has me confused. We had out dealer install a 12v socket as part of our deal when we bought the trailer since the Puma did not have one. I use it for my CPap machine when boondocking.
It worked fine the first night but last night it stopped working. Thinking a fuse blew, I checked the fuse box but all the fuses were good.
Went to check the 12v converter and it worked again until I turned on the CPap. So, there is a trip mechanism somewhere in the line.
Later in the night, I tried the socked again and the converter worked with the CPap for about 5 minutes.
It not the converter because we have two of them and they both didn't work connected to the 12v plug.
What can be the problem?
Thanks.

RE: Separate garage or not?
No garage and no slide outs for us. What I wish we had was a unit that I could park our quads wise by side. It gets old rotating the end quad 90degrees with half the quad still on the ramp.

What do your Trailer Brakes Sound Like?
Do your trailer brakes make noise when in use? The brakes on our Puma sound are nosy in a sense that they sound like two surfaces rubbing together.
They don't necessarily grind, or sound like metal on metal. The braking power is fine it just sounds odd. I just ordered a temperature sensor so I can see if each wheel is heating up consistently
The brakes are electric drum brakes on Dexter EZ Lube axles.
So how do your trailer brakes sound? If my brakes should not make this noise, can I take the trailer back to my stealer and have it surviced under my soon to expire warranty?
Thanks.

RE: Michigan Areas to Ride?

The trails do look tight. We have Honda Ranchers so it would be tight, but doable.
Thanks.

RE: Michigan Areas to Ride?
Check out Happi Days campground in Fredric Michigan which is just outside of Grayling. We stayed there about three years ago ATV/UTV friendly very nice place and you can ride from the campground to the trails. www.happidayscampground.com
How is the trail riding there? It's hard to tell by the map.

Michigan Areas to Ride?
We haven't been to Michigan to ride the trails yet and would like to go this year. Trouble is, we don't know where the trails that have campground access are.
Can any of the local member help with places to ride? We have a 30' 5th wheel toy hauler and hookups are optional.
I've heard the best riding is on the UP but that is farther than we want to trave. Staying on the mitt is preferred.
Thanks.

RE: doors
Check out the Puma Unleashed 298FQU. It's a 30' fifth wheel open floor plan without a slide out. We haul two Honda Ranchers; one straight in and the other turned sideways. The loaded overall weight is about 10,000lbs with a pin weight about 2200lbs and puts my 2500HD at max GVRW.
Not sure way you would haul but the Puma work great for us.

RE: What should I remove from my trailer
Our trailer was broken in to two weeks ago while waiting to be winterized at the dealer. The theives trashed the entry door with a crowbar to get in. While rifling through all our drawers and cabinets, they found my large flashlight to help them see.
In the end they only stole the flat screen tv that came with the trailer.
They only want the quick and easy stuff. Nobody wants your cookware.
Another thing. Our unit was not covered by the dealers insurance as they don't have to insure what is on their property. May as well leave the door unlocked so the theives don't trash it.

RE: Glad I got to the dump station first
I had my first dump station problem last month I am embarrassed to say. The dump hole was a little too far the trailer so I did what I could to stretch the hose to it. As soon as Imopened the blast tank valve and filled up the hose, it popped off and sewage was gushing out. It was a split second to close the valve, but it was nasty.:o
Turned out I did not secure the hose well enough. I cleaned up what I could and hosed down the rest.
The lessons learned is you can never be too close to the dump hole and Mack sure the hose connection is fully tightened before you dump.
