This thread is old - but relevant. The replies are spot On. i live in California,so the snow is not an issue. The wind has not been an issue as I have 4straps around the bell. The sun is another issue. I would love to put in a canop, but insufficient room. I switched to the “National Covers -...

This may be a late reply, but a wealth of good advice here. I have used the auto level feature since 2012. I don’t know how I lived without it. However I do not use th plastic blocks, nor snap pads. 2x12’s. Plastic blocks sink in dirt and asphalt (lost some that way). I am always concerned snap...

A few years back my beautiful bride driving, I had told her numerous times with the weight behind her, she ends to allow more time to break. One issue with drum/electric brakes is they work better after being warmed up. Well she went straight thru a red lite - very glad to see there was no...

There are a few RV REVIEWS on line RVT.COM, RV reviews.net, consumers reports and trailer life has some as well. The first two give a lot of consolidated feedback on manufacturing, reliability, and warranty. As well as options and comfort. I looked there before lagging on the Heartland brand...

I have a 2012 3070RL, it was built on a 10"frame therefore no room to inlclude an "Arctic package" according to the factory. The Landmark was built on a 12" frame. After spending a spring n Iowa, with temperatures in the 20's I would not recommend it, without some modifications. I incorporated a...

Post sent, but not finished. My height with accessories is 13 5 feet. I put a large number on the nose so I can see it in my rear view. I have encountered many road conditions have posted length, width and height restriction. I have a installed a towed trailer behind me, so my overall length is...

Approached the gate at Zion, was refused entry (did not fit between the lines). Later found out I was too tall. Always good to know what was ahead. Had to turn around, resulted in an additional 100+ miles and over two hours. The first two numbers in the model "used to" be representative of the...

I have owned multiple trailers for over 30 years, but this is a first I heard of a Black/Grey combo tank. I know traps are designed to keep tank odors from the living spaces. Normally the Black pipe is larger (2 in) than the Grey (1-1.5 in). I do see two pipes coming from the rear (assumed), but...

I agree with TravelTigher. Great product avail on Amazon. You can buy with an indicator to mount inside your rig and have the same features as the Motohome owners have. Even bought one for the house BBQ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Just noted your post, also noted it was a year ago. Assume you made a decision by now. Also assume by "Tote " you are referring to a small trailer behind your rig, assumed to be a trailer vrs 5th Wheel. After a bit of research, I settled on an Idaho Tote. Other option are the one or two swivel...

Like jnhobe I have a 50 gal custom tank with a 6 in tray for tools. Also have an Advanced Flip top cover (4 sections) that acts as the tool box/tank cover, and the other three sections fold to expose the hitch. Yes It toes make the hitch difficult to see while hitching, so I installed a rear...

I have a fold up cover from American Covers - 4 section. The rear folds up the last 3 sections, leaving ample room for the hitch, and lowers over the hitch when not hooked up. The front section is a single panel. I installed an auxiliary fuel tank, withe a tool box on top (custom made), which...

One point I failed to se mentioned here is Circuit breakers are designed to protect the wiring (AWG) not the terminal equipment. As circuit breakers are slow reacting, Load protection is installed to protect the appliances from surges. That said your 30 main in the trailer will protect your...

One special note for those that use the Idaho Tote. The compressor switch mounted on the rear of the air tank will fail. The compressor is a good unit, however the draw is over 25 amps. Most switches will ultimately fail, and you will be without air. Subsequently, at slow speeds, if you find a...
