If you're looking for dispersed camping then I would look at iOverlander and Gaia GPS. While you may not be doing actual overlanding, dispersed and primitive camping is what we look for. BLM and...

We're doing overlanding, getting off the grid and away from crowds/people to enjoy nature. Nothing wrong with campgrounds in general, just not my thing and the places I want to go are places a...

So long and thanks for all the fish!

Well, our HTT is all but sold and we expect that to happen this weekend. We had decided that it made sense to sell since we only used it twice this year as we have changed up our vacation...

New 5th Wheel Rough Ride

Keep in mind the axles don’t need to be rated for the trailer GVWR, so if you’re thinking they do then that is where you’ve gone south.

I actually have two trailers with torsion axles, our hybrid...

New 5th Wheel Rough Ride

Pretty sure the OP’s trailer doesn’t have equalizers, leaf springs, or shackles as they said in their first post that it has torsion axles. ;)

It’s also a brand new trailer under warranty, they...

Patently false, the tire sidewall pressure is not the recommended tire pressure for all loads. You’ll find no tire manufacturer that says this, either, and is why they produce tire inflation charts....

Depends on the distance from the toilet to the tank, but I said horizontal more as a way to reference the pipe I was talking about. I doubt it's truly horizontal/flat as that's just not how drain...

Something else to keep in mind with their setup is letting the black tank actually get full before draining it. With how inaccurate the sensors are it's hard to know when it's full and should be...

Indeed, thanks! That is the pressure needed for the trailer's GVWR and the OEM tires. You could get the trailer weighed at a local CAT scale when it's loaded and ready to go, then inflate the...

Check the tire pressure on the trailer, is the pressure listed on the placard lower than the pressure in the tires? Over inflation will contribute to an excessively rough ride.

WDH and air bags serve two entirely different purposes, one isn’t a substitute for the other. Do it right and get a good WDH.
