Terrible's Rv Resort in Pahrump, Nevada
We are planning to head south in the next couple weeks and thought a first major stop would be Pahrump (we've never been to it) and stay at Terrible's Rv Resort.
Initially we heard it was a great place to stay, however lately, we are getting the impression that maybe it is not so good.
Appreciate anyone familar with the resort to give us their opinion.
Thanks for your feedback.

RE: anybody like the grill that attaches to their trailer?
We have a 2007 Komfort travel trailer 241 and surprisingly it has a great outdoor/sidekick barbeque. Initially I could not believe this bbq would be as good as my portable Weber, but it is. It really is great; lights easily, provides even heat, grills evenly, easy to setup.
While I do not have the name of BBQ, Komfort trailers are made in Clackamas, Oregon and hopefully they can advise you of the name of unit and who manufactures it.
Anyway, hope you are successful in replacing your unit. Perhaps once you have, let us know. Take care.

Chuck-a-nut Drive, Bellingham, Washington
We are planning a trip from British Columbia down to the Olympic Pennisula and are hoping to take the Chuck-a-nut Drive to Deception Pass State Park for a couple days.
I have been told that I should be okay taking a 27 foot travel trailer along Chuck-a-nut drive, however, recently was told don't do it, too narrow, too dangerous.
Could someone familar with this route please let me know if there is a problem taking our trailer along this route?
While we would love to take the drive down, perhaps better to do without the trailer and just truck it on a day trip once we disconnect.
Thanks, appreciate any comments.

RE: Need help making final decision on TT...
I think you will notice both trailers behind your truck, however, I too would go with the Eagle. Both a relatively the same, get what you really like.
An alternative to springs on your truck, I would suggest installing air bags; Firestone makes a good model. The great thing with air bags is that you can inflate them when towing the trailer, then deflate them when you are not. Adding springs is permanent, so when not towing the trailer, the ride is generally firmer, rougher.
Good luck, enjoy the trailer.

RE: Yet another request for towing advice :)
From my perspective, I think you were overweight with your first trailer. While no problems on your trip, the flats and certainly the hill hauling takes its toll on your trucks' engine/transmission/brakes.
Your potentially new trailer will do so even more. Think it is always a good idea to weigh your tow vehicle and trailer together to get the real weight.
However, you will not be the first, nor last, to have too much trailer for your truck. I always prefer the opposite.
Have fun and take care.

RE: 2008 komfort trailer solar pre-wire help please
The other replies are probably right on the mark.
However although I am usually way off base on electricaly issues, you do know that the newer Komfort trailers have a battery disconnect switch? (Ours is in the galley area). Pushing it in (off) shuts off all power from the batteries making everything appear dead.
We've had it happen accidentally a few times and members of our family get excited that our batteries have died. Of course simply pulling the switch out makes them happy again.
The very first time it occured we called our dealer, however, even he did not mention that we may have accidentally hit the switch. He actually suggested we needed new batteries.
We have not had this switch on previous trailers we've owned.

RE: Squeaking floor in our travel trailer
Thanks guys. Will live with it for now and keep thinking on it. If I solve it, will post the remedy.
Really like "the drinking more beer" suggestion. Going to work on that.
Have a great summer.

Squeaking floor in our travel trailer
We have a 2 year old Komfort travel trailer that has over the winter developed an annoying squeak in the vinyl floor. The affected area is about 2 feet square and seems to be increasing in size. It seems there is separation occuring from the vinyl/wood from the frame.
I am not certain on how the floor is constructed, however presume below the vinyl there is plywood that is glued and fastened to wood/aluminum framing. The trailer has aluminum frame construction.
Anyway, wonder if anyone has had this problem and if there is a relatively simple solution to resolve the problem, or at least minimize its' expansion?
Thanks, appreciate any advice.
