RE: level on level ground and towing
Of note, we got 2 new axles and all new tires replaced in the last month, but this lean was there before that work was done. It may have been like this since we owned it and I'm just now noticing it..
Did you check the springs at that time? Why were the axles replaced?

RE: Comments people make
Did you get the "cozy" comment yet?
I have tent camped on a motorcycle, used a popup for years and now a travel trailer and heard plenty. You should feel sorry for those that are trapped in their self imposed world.

RE: Power Sag/Current Issues at Seasonal Site
An autoformer will boost 10%, your 100 volts will become 110. Since 108 volts should be considered the minimum, I would bet that there will be times when your boosted voltage will drop below that.

RE: Need help for locating a new Generator box
Looks like that weighs 92 lbs dry. Figure 100 with fuel. Looking at the leverage a platform like the one pictured above would have, I would not hang that on a flimsy trailer bumper. I would suggest a trailer hitch welded to the frame.
In addition to the 100 lbs, add the platform weight. No way would I consider the idea.

RE: Elect. start generator.
Here is a 2300 watt inverter/ Generator with electric start.
Electric start generator
Awful pricey for a 2300w.
Since they are sold out the price must be acceptable.

RE: Elect. start generator.
You can buy an electric start kit for small generators like Honda. The kits cost under $400. They will add weight and make the generator more cumbersome.
I think you should try the pull rope on some small generators, they are easy to start.

RE: Campground Rates
It is time to face the facts, low cost camping and convenience is history and it is time to find better things to do.

RE: Dinosaur National Park
Research the Flaming Gorge area, there are things that might be of interest to you. I haven't been there in years so I won't comment on the roads.

RE: TPMS - lock nuts on caps?
The entire unit with 6 sensors only cost about $120 or so.
Could you tell us the brand and model of the system? I have no clue what you mean by "locknuts." TST systems have a cap that just slips, reducing theft by slipping without the special tool. Maybe you are calling a cap a locknut.

RE: Pa Turnpike
The Pennsylvania Turnpike no longer accepts cash. It is EZ Pass or pay by mail. No one mans the toll booths.
Wow! Wonder how the union feels about that!
They don't mind, the Turnpike has been deeply in debt for years keeping all those retired employees comfy.

RE: Hot Water Heater Funny Issue
I would be more concerned with a dark green hose in the hot sun all day, that water must stink of plastic and is surely not a hose suitable for a drinking water system. If you must use an unsafe hose, at least run it off till fresh water flushes it out and then fill your tank and put the hose away.

RE: Brake Wire
Most trailer wire harnesses use #10 wire which is rated at 30 amps.
That is for "continuou use" typical household wire. For a short time usage DC circuit less than 50' #10 can easily carry 50A.
Heating of wires and safety is just one factor. Voltage drop at the brake magnets is the issue here. Use a voltage drop calculator for 12 volt DC and you will see that 20% or more may be lost using typical wiring provided by trailer builders.

This tank with a gauge actually works, the inline gauges are accurate when showing empty, but you already knew that.

RE: Speed limits
IMHO, you have that bass ackward. If a cop is seen in traffic running over the limit, he better explain what is more important he is doing or head for unemployment line.
So you want to fire a cop for speeding?
If one cannot obey or enforce the laws he needs to go.

RE: Highway speeds - Keep your distance!
I wonder about another phemo...phenoma... situation that I experience on lonely western roads..
You are cruising along all by yourself at whatever speed... and in the mirrors another vehicle appears...
It catches you after a few km/miles...
And then settles in 1 point 5 seconds off your stern and drives there ...
Why?
That happens most everywhere, the proctologists are on their phones and need only to glance up occasionally to see if your butt is right there. Doing it that way there is no decisions to be made about speed or lane.

RE: tow truck THIKS its overheating
Are you using premium fuel? If you have the Eco-Boost engine there numerous complaints about over-heating in the earlier models. Do a Google search and you will see the problems and hopefully a solution.

RE: HELP..Broken Spring , Sioux Falls SD
A few miles out of town I remember passing a farm place with lots of utility trailers out front. We drove over and BINGO! They had a spring....
Great! And you are welcome.
