Salem 31KQBTS

I'm new on here and have a family of 6. Was looking at a 31kqbts yesterday gave me a good price to. Was wondering if anyone that has one or a salem for that matter of any issues at all from towing to exterior to interior. I have 3500 ram with the 6.4 hemi so weight I'm not worried about its more of the sway, backing it up, you know any tips would be helpful. I was told with the type of siding on the trailer that it will fade and the decals come off pretty easily. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. Do a search on the forum for the type of rig and see what you find. Fade happen to all rigs pretty much.

Welcome from SoCal! Fading and peeling graphics can be common. Perma Plate protection can help prevent the graphics from peeling. This is usually done when the unit is brand new. It's not cheap but it does help. It's a spray on protection that is done at the dealership. I added it to my unit when it was about a year old and I'm still happy with it 5 years later. Since my trailer was not brand new when it was added I didn't get the 7 year guarantee with it. Ask your dealer or service department about it.

We have a 2016 31kqbts. So far so good just a few minor issues. Biggest issues we have had with it are the axle hangers were not welded square on the frame so it would sway pretty bad. Once the dealer got that fixed it been great.
