My home was badly burned and everything in the house and especially in the garage was completely destroyed. Now I need to buy a new hitch with a 2" ball to be bale to move our 2003 Coleman Westlake. I think the hitch I used for the trailer from my 2007 F150 4 x 4 Lariat, with the heavy duty...

I bought a tent trailer for the open feel it has vs sitting or sleeping in a little closed in room, like a camper or a travel trailer. We like the open air feel of the tent trailer.

What fuel does your vehicle manufacturer recommend? If they recommend Regular (87 octane) and use Premium (92 octane) you may cause damage to your engine, long term. People have this idea that Regular, Plus and Premium = Good, Better, Best and this IS NOT THE CASE. Higher compression engines...

You need to research "Octane". Gasoline grade is all about the octane levels and has nothing to do with whether or not it's "better" fuel. Octane is all about compression and making sure the fuel burns upon receiving the spark, and not detonating under pressure (predetonation).

The "total BS" comment is what is wrong with on-line forums. There's way too much BS spewed by keyboard experts! The best thing anybody can do is their own research regarding whatever it is they're trying to find out.

So negative...gosh! [LOL]:grin:

I have lived "out West" all of my life. I certainly didn't need to read or watch any videos to realize everything they learned about the short-comings of an electric truck, or car for that matter, VS gas. It doesn't take much research to know EV technology is not what they want us to believe...

Here's my view...if you install a 120V fridge in lieu of the 3 way fridge, you reduce the resale value of the camper. Why not install a different year model of refrigerator that is more reliable?

I tow a 2003 Coleman Westlake with a 2007, F150, 4x 4, Lariat with tow package and 5.4 Ltr V8. The Westlake is pretty close to what you are going to be towing and I would not tow it with anything less. You will need an electric brake controller as well. Many of the new trucks have them built in...

You don't state why you won't use cruise control...

I bought two 6 gallon AquaTainers at Walmart for gray water; one for the sink and one for the shower. I have to empty it after each shower, but no big deal...it's just water, so I go water the trees.

We love our toilet and shower! It's awesome to be able to get clean before bed...I can't sleep feeling all sticky. The toilet is handy in the middle of the night or on those chilly Fall mornings, when we have to crank the heat in the morning! Cassette toilet is a breeze to care for.

One thing is certain, the media is going to sensationalize everything they can, all in the name of the mighty advertising dollar! This video has made them a lot of money. Aside from that the guy did everything he should have done, except maybe getting too close to begin with. Even if they had...

The problem I have found leveling is if you move the level around from place to place it'll read different. I check the side rails, across the tongue and on the floor inside. It's not like they have to be on by a gnat's ass! Close counts in Horse Shoes, hand grenades and leveling a camper.

Stick on bubbles are akin to using a torpedo level to plumb a 40' tall steel column!

Here you go...this will show you the models with toilet and shower. See attached 2003 sales brochure. We have a 2003 Westlake and love it! The ability to take a shower before going to bed is awesome and the toilet is pure convenience, especially in the middle of the night or on those cold...

Yes we cook inside...why have a trailer if you don't use the amenities? The only thing we don't do inside the trailer is poop!

I looked at the camper and it's fairly nice for a small tent trailer, that said, I'm a shopper and you can get something just as good or even better equipped for 1/2 of that price if you shop around and are patient. We're coming into Winter and camping opportunities are very limited...you might...

Winterize and cover if you can't fit it in the garage. I bought a cover for ours which keeps dirt and weather off of it and yet allows it to breath. These covers last 2-3 seasons and are pretty cheap insurance. Storing uncovered makes them look like dog doo in a pretty short period of time. We...

One thing is for sure...times have definitely changed! Who would have ever thought we'd have to make reservations to go camping? Who would have thought we'd be paying $100/month to watch TV or $100/month to carry around a mobile phone/PC thingy? Who would have thought automobiles would cost more...
