    Best full-size 4 season composite trailer?

    I’ve walked on the roof of every R pod that’s come through my bay and I’m 240lbs. They’re pretty solid, no pops and cracks like some of the cheap trailers. I still wouldn’t buy one with a slide, they all use the terrible schwintek slide. Unfortunately a lot of trailers use that slide, even the...

    I thought you folks might like to see what I spotted on the new R pods.

    New Gen Tundra front recovery points

    I was building xlt gas superduty and f150 and the payment was 900+ for 5-6 years. At work the big $100k travel trailers get the payments stretched out for 20 years!

    2021 Subaru Crosstrek MT - Traction Control - Maybe/Maybe Not.

    Does holding the traction control button down longer do anything differently? I can confirm that my newer Ranger, my ‘11 chev, and newer Tacoma work truck all did a second level of traction control off if you held the button.

    Door removal required for fridge swap Bigfoot Camper

    I was once tasked with taking a fridge out of a molded fiberglass Escape trailer. Even after removing the door it was a real hassle. Everybody in the shop was wondering if the fridge went in before the top of the trailer went on.

    Door removal required for fridge swap Bigfoot Camper

    No experience with Bigfoot but I’ve taken doors off and windows out of trailers big and small. It’s not too complicated but might add a couple hours to the job if you’ve never done it before. Could try taking the door off of the fridge too but sometimes that gains you nothing.

    Frame Strength, Who to Believe! The RV Sales Guy or the New Truck Dealer? Maybe Neither?

    I thought every truck made in the last 5-10 years had the payload sticker in the door jam? My 2011 chev 2500 did, my 2020 Ranger does.

    Frame Strength, Who to Believe! The RV Sales Guy or the New Truck Dealer? Maybe Neither?

    The payload sticker is a bright yellow thing that you step past every time you enter the drivers seat. How do people mess this up?

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    I’ve read in some tire descriptions that they have a feature that limits rocks getting stuck in the tread. Maybe that’s it? Can’t remember what it’s called.

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    I’ve never seen anything that really explains it. My Ranger definitely just sounds like it uses the starter. I can see the voltage drop on my plug in voltage gauge also.

    Capri Cowboy Camper FREE TO GOOD HOME to any Expo Member!

    I like the look of those but it won’t fit my Ranger.

    Truck & Travel Trailer Advice

    If you’re gonna put a lot of towing miles on vs commuting I would go for a 3/4 ton for a 6,000lb trailer plus a family and family stuff. A regular everyday 3/4 ton will do better than a half ton even if you manage to find the half ton with the somewhat rare max towing packages.

    Out with the old, in with the new...F-150.

    I’ve heard the rams are more stable towing than the aluminum f150’s. That’s the biggest complaint I have with my little ranger, plenty of power but gets blown around even when not towing.

    12v Backfeed Sanity Check

    You’re trying to control auxiliary lighting triggered by the high beams? I usually use a “fuse tap” right at the fuse box so I don’t have to modify factory wiring.

    Ford’s new 6.8L V8

    Maybe it’ll get better mpg than the 6.2 or 7.3?

    $250,000 for RWD skoolie!

    You guys just don’t understand. The seller is an artist, therefore that tired old school bus is a work of art.

    That’s the impression I get too.

    How essential are low-point drains?

    I’ve wintered dozens of trailers and still haven’t figured out why low point drains exist.
