We have Denman 225/75/R15 and have not had any issues. Very good tire. I would go with these or Maxxis. We upgraded from D to E so we feel a lot safer now.

We do not have one, but we have been looking at them. I have also looked at the 306wp since my truck is a 3/4 ton. Those other models that you mentioned, I think call for more like a 1 ton dually....

I know what you mean about the tonge weight. We have a Cherokee 30F which is also a front kitchen model and even with a 3/4 ton truck it is hard to keep the rear from going down. I can't imagine what...

under rated leaf spings?

About 1 1/2 years ago I had our 30F TT tires upgraded after blowing a couple of D rated Carlisle tires. Now after about 4,000 miles on the much better E rated 10ply Denman tires, I noticed that 3 out...

A 3/4 ton truck would not be overkill for this job, it would actually be the right call. I do not think any 1/2 ton can safely pull over 10K pounds, much less 11.5. A tonge weight of 900lbs empty is...

I just order an Expedition cover from National Discount Covers. It was $280 shipped. They also sell the Goldline cover which is supposed to be very good, but a little pricey. The one I order has a 3...

I do not own one, but I've been looking at them a lot recently. It looks like it still has plenty of room in the living area, unlike most of the smaller (less than 38-40ft) rear loading toy haulers,...

Make sure you have a good class V hitch receiver. I would not use anything less than an Equal-i-zer brand hitch, great investment. Make sure the TT tires are good brand and proper rating for that...

Just hook up to the truck, put the jack up, and swap them out. I replaced mine with an Ultra-Fab 3500. I believe your TT has a 2 1/4 hole but I'm not 100% sure.

I thought the arrow pointing down toward the gas line that goes into the TT meant that gas will come from either tank. How does it automatically change over if the arrow is pointing to one tank?...

IMO, it should still be fine. As long as weight is being distributed instead of most of it at one particular spot, in this case the rear of the vehicle. I think 1'' on a minivan is not bad at all,...

There are some regulators that will automatically pull gas from the other tank if one goes empty. I believe that is what we have in our Cherokee TT. With this type you just aim the arrow down and...

You are correct, most of the time the dealer is just looking to sell what they can make money on, sad but true. The dealership where we got our TT set me up with a regular WDH and a single sway bar,...

I agree, 1'' down on the back should be fine, I would not mess with it. I would take some measurments as mentioned before just to be on the safe side. Airbags can help, but you don't want the airbags...

That truck should pull that Wildcat like it's nothing. I would go for it if it's a good deal, or you can always go bigger with that kind of truck, but that Wildcat should give you plenty of room and...

Is this something that people should keep a spare somewhere or is it something that can be found at a local hardware or auto parts store. How rare is it to have one of these go bad?

I don't know what you're using for a hitch, but the Equa-l-izer is a great investment. We have towed are TT in some really bad cross winds and it really does a good job.

Ours makes a noise also while heating the water, on electric, and it does sound similar to when it runs on gas. I've always assumed this is normal. I have never heard a tick tick type of noise.
