RE: GOT MY (LT) MAN CARD.....I did IT!!!!!
I just changed the tires on my TH to Load Boss 235x85x16 G rated, judging from how little weight it took to balance them I have a feeling that they will serve me well. These are still a ST tire but are speed rated for 100 mph and 14 ply. I bought them from Discount Tire and considering the price was only 1100 for the 6 tires including balancing and tax they are worth trying. I am not sure where I will end up at for pressure since they are 110 lb max and I will only have about 2500lbs on each tire. TH is 19000. I am going to start at 90 psi and go from there.
Happy Camping
Dan & Janice
Have you heard the saying "you get what you pay for". :) I will be interested to hear how these do over time.

And another one is converted, looks like someone listened to Mr Knowitall on Toyhauler tires. :)
Good call on going to LTs.

RE: Difference between single rear wheel and dually rear wheel
As said, DRW is rated higher in GVWR and sometimes GCWR, both good when towing heavy.
If you have a rear tire blow out with 4000lbs of pin weight, I would want 1 extra tire to help control the load until I got pulled over.
More stable in the sway department with high winds and when you get passed by a semi doing 75mph.

Actually, yes. I have had so many PMs over the years asking about LT tires, people thanking me for convincing them to switch over. Sorry you haven't learned that yet.
Keep reading young Jedi and you will figure this out.

RE: Fifth Wheel hitch
B&W. 1 hole in the bed and it bolts to the frame using existing holes.
100% usage of bed when hitch is removed.

RE: Supplies for your Toy Hauler/Trailer
Sandrail, gas, beer and frozen burritos...... I am GOOD TO GO!!!!!!!!!
We really need to work with you on your choice of what constitutes fine dining meals don't we? :B
HAHAHAHAHA. I am no chef that is for sure!!!!!!
Linc if you're like me, when I'm in the dunes I'm riding, not there to cook. Quick meals, no elabrate feasts unless it's T-day weekend, then I have to defer to the DW for that one.
All good suggestions, but I see no one has mentioned the toys, tie downs and straps to keep the toys in check when traveling and proper containers for fuel and other liquids.
Totally agree!!!!! I don't go to the dunes to cook and watch TV like some folks do. I see some trailers with satellite dishes and volleyball nets...... wow, don't understand that one. I am there to drive, drive, drive. On big weekends, I take 10 dump cans of gas, trailer and toys are all full. 120 gallons of gas on a long weekend.

RE: landing gear dual motors
My buddy is doing this conversion right now.
Had to buy a second motor and a new shaft to work with the motor.
Remove the bar that is currently in the trailer connecting the 2 legs, hook up the new motor with the new shaft, wire to the same switch and that is it.

RE: First trip and need new tires
He said his axle weight was over 11,000 and pin on top of that.A quick squint at the Keystone website says (for 2013):
Shipping weight: 12260
Carrying capacity: 4240
EQUALS
Gross: 16500
Pin weight: 2960
EQUALS: 13540 / 4 = 3385 per tire!!!!!
That is alot per tire. Definetly G rated LT tire range. Or 17.5" setup.

RE: First trip and need new tires
You're probably out of luck trying to run E-rated 16" LT tires. That would only be a touch over 12,000 carrying capacity. Not enough overage IMO. You could go to G-rated LT tires if your rims will support 110 psi. Or change to 17.5" rims and tires. Or try your luck and stick with ST tires. Maxxis ST tires seem to be the trailer tire of choice.
After my ST tire failure I went with G-rated LT tires.
Now I am confused why you think he would be too close on tire weight. At 12,000, you would have approx. 3,200 on the tongue leaving 8,800 on the axles.
He said his axle weight was over 11,000 and pin on top of that.

RE: First trip and need new tires
With his weight I don't think the Michelin ribs are the answer as his weight puts him over the limit for those E-rated tires.
Fair enough.
You guys with dual axle toy haulers and that much weight.... I feel for ya.
I would much rather have a triple axle with a trailer over 30-32'.

RE: First trip and need new tires
To the OP, you haven't done much reading if you haven't found out Carlisle makes junk tires.
Get a good LT tire like the Michelin XPS Rib. Then you can run over a curb and not look back.

RE: information on 3 different fifth wheel toy haulers
To the OP. NO WAY do you have enough truck to tow the FTL. That trailer will weigh 15000lbs just sitting there. Full water, gear, toys etc and you are looking at 18000lbs.

RE: Tire challenge - 15"
Eagle Alloy Wheels work great. You can get new center caps with them. That is what I run with my 16" setup on my Warrior.

RE: Keystone Raptor 332TS with a Ford F350 SRW
Need a dually.
My Warrior is 11,600lbs empty with 2640 lbs of pin weight.
All loaded, I am all of 16,000lbs. No way would I hook up my trailer to a SRW truck.
