The loudest source of noise from an open frem generator is from the exhaust. I modified an exhaust and lowered the noise by ten decibels as measured before and after (that's a lot). After that the mechanical noise of the unit became apparent as others have said. There are ways to deal with...

Comparing those two trailers, thee increased weight (60%+) will affect mileage when driving in big hills. And it will put an extra strain on your TV drive train. As for the flats the size will mostly dictate mileage if it is bigger it will affect it some. On a last point there are many...

If that's your point just install a second tank connection and avoid teh whole transfer issue.

Yes I've done it. the process speeds up if you cool the tank your filling and warm up the tnek you are emptying. Us can use towels soak in hot water and icewater.

Thank you to the OP for sharing. After skimming the report, what I saw is that camping facilities are in higher demand than existing supply forcing the use of a online reservation system and requiring 6 month planning/commitment capability. This is NOT EXCLUSIONARY in any way. I am not a...

Please stick to the topic at hand and keep camping free of political rhetoric... And if you must give us something fresher than that lame comment...

Saladsuit, you are defeinitely going at this the right way!

EIGHT? thats a lot of coolers...

You've done all the right things so far except going solar/other replenishment system. Attack the list from top down, more coolers/less fridge. The USB usage is pretty high, if that's real you need to kayak/hike more and phone/tablet less that's why you camp right? But without replenishment...

Here are two out of the box options. 1) We don't have kids or guests so we take both matresses and plop one on top of the other for double thickness. Since She likes firmer and me softer I also stack a 3" memory foam slab on my side. 2) air mattresses, you can get any thickness you want and...

My language about the leverage could be confusing. Let's not confuse vehicle weight with axle weight, they are very different. The key phrase in my post is "weigh the tongue", so the math and it's mistakes can be put aside.

Yup seems like one of the white wires is fraying so it may be worth redoing that connection. Do you have 12 volts when shore power is running?

Your math is a little off. The rear ale went up by 740 but your front end lightened by 80 (that weight has to go to the ground somewhere) so the trailer is adding 740-80=660lbs. Next because of leverage that 660lbs is not the real tongue weight it is higher so your tongue weight is quite a bit...

these days so many campgrounds are booked solid that if a price difference to try to ease congestion and let more locals get to their closest parks that would not be a bad thing.

The frame is designed and supported by the axle and suspension attach points. Lifting it there is the same effect as level blocks. There is no engineering reason to not do that.

Please explain why one shouldn't.

Absolutely you can. I am looking at doing exactly that myself. The good news is that you only need two leveling jacks placed as close to the axle as possible or on the axle itself. Level the pup with 1 jack then drop your stabilizers as usual. Cheaper and lighter than buying four. I will...

Like a few above I bought cameras. A 4 camera system with a 7" screen. two cams are at the front corners of the pup 1 in back and last in front of my Truck. Best way to drive, no blind spots at all, total confidence in merging lanes. Do not get the smaller screens you wont be able to see...

I just looked at Fiamma. Same weight but 5x the cost (ouch). They do fold much smaller than the home stye awnings.
