I currently use a satellite dish for tv. If I run the dish straight to my tv it works. But if I run the dish to the outside coaxial hook up the tv inside does not work. I have heard the antenna booster can mess this up. Anyone know how I can fix this issue? Put a new box in for dish? Rewire...

Tires make a difference. I changed my "P" tires to LT tires, Bridgestone Duelers, and my camper is pulling great. Bummed about having to buy new tires, but glad the sway is gone. Maybe trucks should come with truck tires still.

copkie Cookie, my question started off with tires then transfered to a trip question.

My family has been talking about making a trip to Adventureland. We need to look at dates. How many people make these gathering and what of people show; families, retired, etc?

Thank you all for the great advice. I have been tweaking my hitch and it does get better with some changes. And Jim was right, I forgot to factor in the trailer hitch. I am very confident in the truck being able to pull the camper, I just need to have the correct equipment with the correct...

Pegmike, how do you check the percent of weight on your hitch?

I am thinking about turning the cam washers on my hitch to lower my ball a bit. Otherwise it is fairly close, maybe 1.5" difference from the front of the trailer to the back.

I am pulling a 30' trailer, not 34'. I put my own hitch on. I had expeience putting the hitch on, because I also put one on my parents TT. They pull a 29' TT with an Avalanche with no problems so I would think a 30' being pulled with a beefed up F-150 would be fine. I did have the RV dealers...

So I have a Dual Cam Reese weight distribution and anti sway system for my Trail Runner 30ODK, which ways 7,200 lbs, if I remember right. I am pulling it with a 2012 F150 with a tow package, rated for 11,000 lbs. When I get around 60 mph my back tires feel like they are hydroplaining and I get...

Screws used on mount. Hey Horned Toad. I bought the bracket and was looking at the mounting screws and they will be to long for my location. I have a swivel TV, it swivels from livingroom to bedroom. Did you or anyone else have experience using this mount with shorter screws?

Could anyone do this? Great idea, I also hate backing up in the dark. How hard is it to tie into you existing wiring? Do I need to be an electrician to do this mod?

We recently bought as well. Looked at A LOT of trailers. Our top 3 were Puma, Kingsport, and Trail Runner. For the money, size, functionality, and weight of the trailer we decided on a brand new TR. Looking forward to using it soon. Just waiting on this snow to melt!!!!!

I like that horizontal mount a lot. Not as bulky compared to most that are squared. Plus you are guranteed to hit a stud with each screw. I imagine you used some type of sealent for the screws, like caulking. My other concern is having a swivel TV extended out. Seems like it would add a lot of...

This is good stuff, do you happen to have any pics of your mod?

We just purchased a Trail Runner, which has the aluminum ribbed siding. I want to mount a bracket outside under the speakers so I can use the livingroom TV out side. Anyone ever done this?

Another question I had is which "size" weight distribution I should buy. Our camper's dry tongue weight is 725#. From what I gathered on the forum this does not include filled propane tanks or battery. Plus you have all of the gear you put in the front lower compartment, i.e. tools, blocks, etc...

You know I wasn't able to find a price on the Hensley Arrow setup until I went to your link. Multiple forums said they cost more but I didn't realize $2,000+. The Hensley Arrow looks amazing, but I am not sold it is worth four or five time more than a Reese Dual Sway. I am leaning towards the...

Looking for some input on a weight distribution hitch with anti sway control. We are pulling a 30 foot TT with F-150 3.5 Eco boost. I have read a lot on the forums and it sounds like Reese Dual Cam Sway or the Hensley Arrow hitch is the way to go. I like what I read about these because you do...

We bought the 3.5 for two reasons. We felt it would handle our trailer well enough and it was a good deal. I opted to buy an extended warranty on it since it is still a newer motor and time will tell how the engine holds up. If you get time you have to watch the "torture test" on YouTube. It...

Maybe an air ride suspension system would have helped them??? That would have been some picture!

We just bought a 2012 F-150 V6 ecoboost to pull our 30' Trail Runner. Anyone have experience with the turbo engine? I did quite a bit of research and they seem to be a no brainer for towing and gas mileage.

We are in the same boat, just bought a new Trail Runner in November. Have you read any interesting info on the 30 ODK, that's the model we went with also.

This is some great information that is much needed. We will have to pick up some necessities for our camper over the next couple months. starting with a bigger truck. Hahahaha. Thinking F-150. Trailer is 7,000 lbs dry.

We bought a TR 30 ODK LATE in the season looking for the best deal, now we have cabin fever and need to get out there and start camping. We are not new to camping. My parents would let us borrow their camper when ever we wanted it. I guess I am looking for some discussion on this particular...
