    T31 safety chain failure

    I had something happen last fall and I want this forums perspective. While raising the power tongue jack to unhitch my trailer, I inadvertently forgot to place my wheel chocks behind my tires. I know, dumb me! When the hitch cleared the ball, the trailer rolled back ( less that 1.5 feet) and the...

    Weather stripping shrinking

    Has anyone experienced or heard of this?? The weather stripping on the rear upper corners seemed to have shrunk and detached. Both ends seem to be attached so I cant simply pull/slide the stripping tight to reattach it to the curved section.

    Hi everyone,. Just dropped my 2017 Torque tq31 at Les Shwab Tires to replace the oem Rainer st 10 ply that came with the trailer for Geostar 14 ply.

    so I have a dumb question, On the roof of my trailer, the cable that has the male connector is labeled "minus". The other cable is not marked.

    Needed to create a mount that would utilize the backer board for the LCD mount yet keep my LED dvd combo centered on the wall.

    Wrong length cables for my patio deck!

    As I haven't had the chance to use my patio deck, I thought it would be a good idea to set up the patio and play around with it. Turns out when the cables are attached and the ramp lowered, it only lowers about half the way , at roughly a 45° angle! I'm fairly certain I used the correct mounting...
