towing

Looking for tire recommendations for my 2018 F-150. I've been happy with the OEM Goodyear Wrangler 275/65R18 tires (standard tires), but it's time to replace them. I tow a 9,000 lb travel trailer about 5–6 times each summer and use the truck as a daily driver the rest of the year. I'm...

Good Day Airstream Community, i have a 1989 34' Excella that i tow with a 2025 Chevy 1500. i noticed that on my last long trip towing from VA to FL that i was getting more sway (which was to be expected) than my 2006 chevy 2500. i am wondering if anyone has any advice on anti sway hitches(from...

As I am having transitions in life, I am considering 2 options: 1-keep my 10,500# GVWR 34' airstream with a slide AND Change my tow vehicle to a 2500-3500 Ram/Chevy/Ford OR 2-replace my airstream with a 7600# GVWR 25'-28' airstream AND KEEP my 2019 2WD Cadillac Escalade with a 6.2 L engine and...

Hi. I'm a guy named Mark. I've got a Jayco Qwest, a couple of decades old but in great shape. I've waterproofed the roof several times, family loves this thing. It doesn't have brakes. Now, I'm in the market for a new vehicle and I'm noticing that almost all SUVs have a maximum towing...

Planning a trip to pull my EPro 15TB from Ohio to South Carolina. Very new to pulling, and have not ventured far from home yet. What advise can you give for overcoming the fears of pulling thru the mountains? I pull with a Ford Explorer. I know it's a small trailer, and seems trivial... but...

We currently have an E-450 30' OAL Thor 28HE. Travel-ready the RV+Toad is about 18,000lbs. The E-450 with 7.3L Godzilla is spec'd at 325hp. We've been on >7% grades and can pull 40-55Mph. Pretty happy, there. However, we are looking at going full time and doing initial research. DP and...

I have an old non-running 1994 Allegro Bus (rear engine diesel pusher). It is parked on a slope (down in the front) and the engine has lost it's prime and it needs a lot of other work. I am giving this m/h away to a neighbor and he is going to restore it. It hasn't been cranked up in several...

Hey folks, forgive me if this isn't the right forum to post this to. My wife, child, and I will be picking up our Escape 19 from Chilliwack in the next couple weeks. We'll be pulling the trailer with a 2024 4Runner that I've already setup with a brake controller and have a Fastway WDH ready to...

Hi all, Just curious for those who are using airbags. What PSI are you filling your bags to? I am towing a Flying Cloud 30 FB bunk with a GMC 2500. No weight distribution hitch. I added air bags last year and have enjoyed them. Since I don't have much sag when towing, inflating the bags to...

Hi there. Hoping to get some expert input from those that have done this. I am hoping to find a self contained 1/2 ton camper hard sided for my 18 year old son and I to make an Alaska trip this summer. My parents did Alaska several times in their class A but they passed away last year so my...

If you've spent as much time on the internet as I have looking into this, you realize that there are multiple options available that all claim to be the best at absorbing bumps, trailer movement, chucking, etc. Pretty wide price range, too. Here's my real question that has me a bit confused...

I had the "IA" make up what would be a DX4....and looks pretty sick! Totally possible! My Dream unit! Look at the features! Lets get this made!

We use our 2021 F150 (6.5’ bed, Hybrid Powerboost - so a bit heavier) for towing Escape 5.0 TA. Weather wise, we just relocated to PNW (Bellingham). Aside from exploring PNW, BC, we plan to go visit Alaska in the next year or two and also at least one winter camping trip Southwards - CA/NV/AZ...

Hi, just wondering if anyone has come across a good brand bike(s) cover? We have two electric bikes we put on our small pick up hitch while it’s being towed as well. Other times just the truck and bike mount. Haven’t found a good one yet that holds up to wind and weather. Thanks, Tim Newmar Trips!

Hello all you fine people. I just purchaced a ‘22 Rockwood Geo Pro 19FBS which has a 2” receiver on the rear bumper. I have a small, Harbor Freight type home built trailer that I use to carry my inflatable fishing pontoon. The little trailer is roughly 250 lbs and the pontoon is 65 lbs. does...

We decided in the summer that we would buy an rv to travel the country. We shopped types, brands, and floor plans for a couple months. We ended up ordering a 15MRB with the baja option. We took delivery after Christmas and have been buying supplies and equipment ever since. Now it's time to...

Pop is 91 and we just put him in Assisted Living. I am his son-in-law and have been tasked with selling his 1965 Trade Wind 24 ft trailer. As long as I have known him, the Airstream has been sitting in his driveway beside the garage. I believe the last time he took it out was about 20 years...

Two people in the hitch business have told me that I can't hook up my 2018 Chevy Colorado long bed pickup to the Escape 5.0 with an Andersen Utimate gooseneck because there's no goosemeck for a 2018 Colorado. From what I can tell, based on my limited research, they're right. So, that means I'm...

So we noticed the front cap denting in from the wind when driving and now have a kink/crease across there. Is this something to have checked asap. 2026 197MB

I just traded in my 2020 Lance 2285 Travel Trailer for a 2016 Thor Quantum PB31 and I know very little about these Class C's. It is on the E450 chassis and I have the following NEWB questions. Can anyone point me in the right direction? 1. Where can I get more info on e450 suspension...

Newbie here! We're about to embark on our first camping trip with our 30' towable. While most of our stops will be at campgrounds with FHU's or with a dump station, we ARE staying at a few Harvest Host locations for a night or two. Question is this: Should I be finding a dump station nearby...

Hi, longtime lurker, first time poster here. I've done a search but coming up with few results, probably due to using the wrong syntax or something, so please direct me to relevant threads if this has already been beaten to a pulp. We have relatively a new-to-us 25' travel trailer (2021...

Hello. I am new to the forum and pretty much new to being an RV owner. This past Wednesday I made a deal on a lightly used 2018 Dutchman Kodiak 201QB. I take delivery of the unit early next week. I've been reading about self-contained RVs and trying to learn as much as I can before I take it...

After years of agonizing and buying and selling 3 different tow vehicles, we finally made it happen. 2025 Cruiser 2400PD. We drove to Jacksonville, did the inspection and drove home in one day. It's spring break in FL, no chance of getting a camping spot this weekend. RV Club USA were great...
