Consider a couple of things before mounting on the front or rear of your trailer. 1), make sure you don't excede your tongue weight. 2), on the rear square bumper, make sure it can handle the weight. Heartland will give you the weight limatations for the rear bumper for your model. Mine can only...

I had a axel break Sunday afternoon on a 14 month old trailer. Because of the extended warranty, and a call Monday morning, and we were back on the road Monday afternoon with a new axel. Months later the mfg replaced both axels. As far as Consumer Reports goes, I do not believe they had RV's in...

I don't know. I doubt that is why the axel failed. This is not a heartland trailer or Dexter axels. The guy who replaced the first axel said it was a bad weld. Lippert who made the axel uses robots to weld according to there website. The point is that they did step up to the plate and replaced...

I too had a axel fail. I was pulling into a gas station. The new TT was 14 months old, and also spent 6 months at the dealer during that time. The dealer would not touch it since it was past the 12 months. My roadside insurance got me moved and a supplemental insurance got me on the road after...

"We purchased the MorRyde solid step at the Elkhart National Rally, really loved them. Several folks tested what we had and ordered them for their own camper. Then it hit me, I wouldn't be able to deploy them when the camper was in the RV Garage. After talking to Gary Wheeler, they took back...

My thoughts are keeping it clean from bugs that you pick up while driving. I also have a concern about rocks thrown up from other cars.

It would seem that it is not necessary. However I can see that a little extra give might be nice. Yet in the previous threads it seems a little upgrade (a heavier spring) may be needed. Or was it just worn? I hope to hear from others with a standard pin box and there experience with the...

So do you need a Mor/ryde with a Anderson Hitch pulling a 18K 5er? Or does the standard pin box work? A future owner.

As a prospective BH owner, on slide out awnings, I understand the benefits, I have heard the wind can take them out. Any thoughts on this? On the second awning, how many of you out there wish they had one? On a generator, 55 or 65 LP? Thanks in advance.

I would agree. It can be done at 16, but 15 and under there is a lot more wiggle room and safety margins.

Let me sum up my research. I started with the 5er, then the truck. I used Ford because they had the best towing numbers. I wanted to go with a SRW. Fords numbers are confusing because of all of the foot notes and restrictions. Max numbers sell trucks but they are not real life. Those numbers...

You have the information. I too am not a DRW fan. But the numbers don't lie. I too am a future Big Horn Owner. The trick is to get the real numbers. Go to the Ford Dealer and get the numbers for a Truck the way you want it equipped. You will find that a SRW will not be able to put in the bed as...

Your right. I took a wild guess on hitch weight since some can be removed easily, more or less. Again, that weight needs to be taken off the useful load. It could be just you and the dog going. :D

Maximum Payload information is on the door label. The label with the tire on it. Just above the tire pressure numbers is what the truck payload is. It says "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed" (Your truck numbers).

I am a future Big Horn owner. As a pilot I am very careful about weights. First, every one needs to be looking at your max gross weights not dry weights on your trailer. On your TV you need to look at all of the foot notes. Example, Ford F350 SRW Super Duty says 20,000 lbs towing. But foot note...
