I do believe there are SOME advantages to a CAI, over the factory intake system that the engineers have designed. However, in order to have those so called advantages, you need other mods, and they...

It at least makes more sense on a trailer. Especially since most trailer hitch locks are more superficial than effective. I agree though, probably not needed in an actual RV park, but would be...

I'm with you, and surprised that was fixed. I had a puncture like that once, on a tire that had less than 1,000 miles on it. Shop wouldn't fix it, but the guy knew me, and said if it was his tire,...

Hard to say exactly, since we don't know how the weight is distributed in your trailer. Although I will say that in almost every case, it is best to tow the trailer a level as possible. Although if...

They do make spare tire relocation kits, either for under the tongue or I believe a company call Ball makes a kit to mount a spare under the belly of the trailer as well. Those are both options you...

Without them in front and behind both tires, you do have a chance that one wheel could move because of gravity, and cause the trailer to spin (tongue left or tongue right) if you weren't on...

I use 303 on my tires, as well as my boat seats boat trailer tires. Love the stuff, and it really protects vinyl / rubber. Even use it on my trucks' soft tonneau cover. :trink39:
