    Possible to add water to holding tank from water jugs -with anderson valve set up?

    On my "classic" Landmark, I line valves up for winterization then in UDC I snap the hose I made up into sprayer hose quick connect then stick the other end into fresh water fill then turn pump on. There is a long hose on winterzation suction to pump so I can leave my 7 gallon container on ground.

    Chose the Trailer - Need to Choose the Truck

    Sorry. I meant to say total trailer weight was 15,500 and GVWR is 16,000. Not much I can do to lower pin weight as most of storage is in front of axles. I do try to limit what is in storage but there is always so many things I might need.:)

    It appears I may come in with the oldest rig here. 02 F350, just went over 100K last week. I can probably take that spot. 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 that I have had for 15 years with 84,000 miles.

    Tire failure due to axle alignment???

    Tredit Tire & Wheel has the capability to balance wheels but maybe not much experience. I bought new tires and wheels from them about 6 years ago and had them do the balancing. About a year later I found a wheel weight wedged next to gas line and checked for weights on wheels and they were all gone.
