    T31 safety chain failure

    I had something happen last fall and I want this forums perspective. While raising the power tongue jack to unhitch my trailer, I inadvertently forgot to place my wheel chocks behind my tires. I know, dumb me! When the hitch cleared the ball, the trailer rolled back ( less that 1.5 feet) and the...

    Do you know what the correct name of this type of weather stripping is?

    Weather stripping shrinking

    Do I need to worry about water penetration if i simply cut and slide the weather stripping up, exposing the bottom?? I guess I could dab silicone on top of the exposed screwheads?

    Weather stripping shrinking

    Has anyone experienced or heard of this?? The weather stripping on the rear upper corners seemed to have shrunk and detached. Both ends seem to be attached so I cant simply pull/slide the stripping tight to reattach it to the curved section.

    Ford 6.7 DEF reductant heater increased warranty coverage

    I'm in the same boat as you. My 2014 F250 wasnt covered either. Cost me $900+ to have the tank replaced back in September... Sucks!!!

    Torque T31 - Need info before purchase

    The removable table in conjunction with the couches seemed to work ok as far as i can remember. You also have a larger table that comes with the trailer and is used in the garage once you convert the lower bed into two bench seats. Ample room for 4 adults or more with little ones.. The online...

    Torque T31 - Need info before purchase

    Regardless of size, if you have your tv mount extended, you'll need to retract it so you dont hit the tv while opening the door. When retracted I believe you can open the door past 90 degrees. I installed a 24" LCD/DVD combo tv, a 32" is probably too large..

    Torque T31 - Need info before purchase

    There is one fresh watertank (104 gallons iirc), two grey tanks and two black tanks. Black tanks are 38 gallons each I believe. 2. Does the 1 A/C unit cool the garage area adequately? In the summer where I live it can get to 110 degrees. I have two ac units, and recommend the second one in...

    Torque T30

    I know you've already stated that you like the tq30.. but have you considered the tq31? It has a 12'-6" garage. My Polaris Ranger XP is 9'-6" and I could have squeezed it into a 10' garage. I definitely took some time to weigh the pros and cons as far as garage space vs. trailer overall length...

    Tow Vehicle Tires

    I was able to get about 60k miles from the stcok Michelin AT2's. They are quiet, wear great and have a high load rating. But I believe the OP is looking for a more aggressive tread pattern as these Michelin are street tires.

    Tow Vehicle Tires

    I've read good reviews on the Nitto Ridge Grabbers, and am having them installed on my F250 Powerstroke tomorrow. They are a hybrid design between an AT and MT tire... FYI, I was going to purchase the Toyo RT which is another hybrid AT/MT tire. They were about $30 more per tire and have a...

    Brake controller for the Landmarks

    It simply says Tekonsha Prodigy. It's an older model but It's been used only two or three times, literally. I purchased it to use once a year, if I happened to tow a utility trailer during hunting season. So in other words, it was rarely used. If not 100% satisfied, you can return it to me for...

    T32 Specs

    There should be a sticker near your door or in your door jamb that states the actual weight of the vehicle.. The weight should be accurate as I believe they install all the options first, then weight it.

    2019 Torque T31 - Issues

    So sorry to hear about your woes! You were missing an entire bolt? How could the shackle support the trailer without a bolt? Do you think they might have not torqued the nut down and the bolt worked it's way out? Hope you get all the Gremlins fixed so you can enjoy your vacation. We have a T31...

    2011 Chevy Duramax 2500 LTZ question

    I think most 3/4 trucks are underated and limited to 10k gvwr. For example, the F250 power stroke and the F350 are identical in every aspect aside from having an extra leaf spring. One has a rating of 10k, the other 11k. This is simply a marketing tactic as once you surpass the 10k gvwr, you...

    What do you put in this drawer?

    Dont recall the depth of the cubbies but we had spice jars of various sizes and a bottle of scotch in the bottom cubby. Everything stayed put during our 2500 mile journey this past deer hunt, and this included some pretty bumpy roads once off the pavement..

    What do you put in this drawer?

    We have the same toyhauler as you. In that particular drawer, it holds all our spices and dish soap. My wife purchased flatware trays and we keep the flatware on one of the shelves in the cabinet to the right of the fridge.

    wired for solar GO POWER

    I'm glad you got that all worked out. I checked out other t322's on the web and like you said, I saw the stickers in the same place as yours. I was starting to suspect that they ran the solar prep cables along the same path as the thermostat wires. Now to throw a monkey wrench into the...

    wired for solar GO POWER

    If you remove the screws from your control panel and carefully pull it away from the wall, this should allow enough room for you to dig around and see if the 4 wires are prerun inside that wall. There are two pair of black and white wires, 10ga iirc. They were simply coiled up without wire...

    Prospective buyer for torque T285 toyhauler

    Generator - which to buy?

    I think the most economical option would be is to purchase two Honda 2000k gensets with a parallel cable. This will get you 4k watts of power for about $2k, less if you buy them on sale or used. The compressor on a 13.k air conditioner will tax a 2k genset, especially during startup, and...

    Filling Garage Beavertail To Make Floor Flat

    What are the dimensions of the dog crates? Will they be used in any other locations? If so, one other option would be rather than build a ramp that levels the entire width of the floor, make removable mitered stringers that attach to the bottom of the crates themselves. When the crates are...
