Jeez, my last post sounds like I'm selling the tires. LOL We had new Maxxis radials put on our trailer Saturday, we are so happy! Now we can travel a little safer we hope. Glen said he didn't notice much difference, but then again he only had to tow the trailer 4 miles home.

Here is what I found out. http://www.maxxis.com/About-Maxxis.aspx Known and trusted by billions of customers around the world, Maxxis offers high-quality tire products for cars and light trucks, bicycles, motorcycles, ATVs, trailers, karts, and lawn and garden care. Maxxis was founded in...

Thanks for the explanation, I was wondering why so many north Trail Threads were closed.

We stopped by our local tire shop, it's been run by the same local family for decades and decades, the owner said he can get Maxxis tires for us. I've been doing loads of reading the last few days and except for one lone person, I haven't read anything bad about Maxxis tires, quite the contrary.

Booth, I have been camping for 55 years (since childhood) in rigs with booths, it's just not camping for me if I don't have a booth to sit at and play cards and backgammon.

Thank you fellow North Trailers :) We have already decided, since a couple hours ago, after much reading that yes of course radials are the only way to go. Now we just have to figure out which brand to get.

Need to pick the brains of other trailerites. We are going to replace our tires on our trailer. One is cracked, so no sense waiting for the others to follow suit! We have been reading how much better Radial's are than Ply tires, we are pretty sure we will get Radial ST trailer tires. But I'd...

We have one and we put two bikes and a ladder on it.

We always leave it on and in the 2 Motorhomes we had prior to this TT we left it on all the time too.

side to side, we just put the same size boards under both of the tires on the low side, we carry various sizes. We have also found that we leave the side with the slide-out a bit on the high side, after we run the slide out, the trailer will be level then.

The only blinds we had were behind the kitchen sink and I put up an extension rod and hung up some nice little curtains, because the blinds drove nuts. But when they were there, we kept them up while going down the road. The pleaded blinds are usually up, except the one by the bed.

Pretty much. There is still some slight dampness when the slide is out and it is raining cats and dogs. It's behind the couch, right where the bottom seam of the slide is. We have redone all the caulking and got a new seal, you name, it is has been done. Hang in there tomsheathillside, I felt...

One of our favorite places for a few night boon-docking, North Fork in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.

We really do like this trailer, we are getting ready for another 2 week trip, going to to Idaho and Montana. Last year we went to Northern California and had a blast going down bumpy old hilly highway 101. For two people and a Schnauzer we have loads of room. Ah yes it is a great quote and so...

I don't want to get acused of bashing. We had a lot of ongoing problems when we got our trailer last year. The majority of them were the ongoing slide leak, no it didn't leak when it was in or going down the road. We have an awning topper and we like it, it keeps crap from falling on the top of...

The only thing that has scraped when leaving our driveway and gas stations is the sewer connection, so my husband shortened it 2 inches, we should be good now!

Wow, we are people who have worked out butts off all of our lives and scrimped and save every penny we have all by ourselves. This new truck and new trailer are our retirement rewards to ourselves and consider ourselves very lucky to have been able to buy our new rigs. But we can still expect...

We use one of these too and have never had a problem filling the fresh water tank.

We have the 24RBS and the small depth kitchen slide is more than enough for us, it is amazing how much it opens up the trailer. And we have plenty of room for everything we need and don't forget you can also put anything "overflow" in the back of you truck. And also the storage in the pass...

The only problem we have ever had, is because the holding tanks drain is so low, it almost drags coming in and out of our driveway. My husband cut a few inches off of it, so now it is higher and won't scrape. That was any easy fix!

It looks great! I am glad you had such a good time.

We so feel your pain. A person buys something brand new and thinks everything is going to be perfect, not so anymore. You would think you could get through the first year without having to reseal practically the entire trailer yourselves. Last year our brand new trailer spent more time at the...

I'm afraid there is nothing else you can do but bring it in when it is windy and never leave it out unattended. Awnings are made for shade on a nice sunny, calm day.

Re: Does anybody actually measure the lenght of your trailer to see if it's over their max. We have found so far, even in a smaller spot, we can back the trailer in and have it hanging over the end of the campsite, the cement stop at the end is generally low enough for us to clear.

Have fun on your Maiden Voyage and we need pictures.

Congrats, I hope you have many years of fun with your new home on wheels.

Oh boy that sounds great and thank you too Scotty. Gasman that's our Mini Schnauzer Jetson for my avatar.

Thank you I'll put them on my list. We have decided to start our trip by taking The North Cascades Highway and that will put us right where we want to start out in Idaho.

Does anybody have some favorite spots in Idaho ? we are heading to Idaho in September for a couple of weeks and also into Montana, but we have camped there before, but we have never spent anytime in Idaho, Glen wants to go to Priest Lake area for sure. All we mostly do it spend time on the...

We have one one and are glad we got it, especially if you camp in the woods much, it really keeps the top of the slide out clean.

Opps! My husband roared with laughter at your comment about how you manned up and just said NO! LOL

We had a cover on ours over the winter, and we had lots of wind and a dandy ice storm and snow and ice on it for days. We bought the more expensive tan one. And they will replace it for up to 3 years. It has two zippered openings so you can get into your trailer really easily while it is...

Ours has a slight dimple too, pretty much right in the middle above the diamond plating, you don't even notice it unless you look at it from the right angle. When I mentioned it to the dealer he said they all have that, it is normal, but then again our dealer told us a lot of things.

That's what we use, we have 2 on the bathroom door. One for the bathroom and the other one on the outside of the door, it is really handy when we come in from outside and are too lazy to open up the closet door and put our shirts/jackets away. If you go to a Marshall's store you can buy these...

Plugged in, but refer off. We take everything out off the refer when we get home from a trip. Let it defrost and clean it up good. Leave the refer doors open for a few days so it is completely dry inside. We do like to go out and sit in the trailer and put the awning out and "pretend camp"...

We use walkie talkies.

Oh very nice. Your trailer looks just perfect out in the woods.

http://www.campingworld.com/order/wizard/index.cfm?skuNum=20637d&prodid=4583&rv=ttfr&cord_Group=20 We got one of these last year at Camping World and it held up great, we had a lot of wind and a dandy ice storm last winter and we were so glad we had the trailer all covered up. Tyvek RV Cover...

I'll pass that information on to Glen, thank you.

A trailerite friend of ours told us he always used Bearing Buddies on his travel trailer. Anybody else have any experience with using them ? Glen is now repacking the wheel bearings on our trailer, even though we don't have more than 4500 miles on it, but he hasn't looked at them since we got...
