When I go out for more than a few days at a state park or lake that has RV hookups, I will be pulling the trailer anyway for gear, generator, food and supplies. With the camper tank and the trailer tanks I will be carrying about 85 gallons of water too. Yes that is a lot of water, more than...

WOW, only silence! hummm... OK so, I am planning to put dual RV water tanks under the bed, 35+gal in front and 15-20gal in the back, so no putting the fuel tanks back down there. At least one drum of fuel will go in the trailer hidden by the truck bed shell. If it is only one 55gal drum it will...

NOT FUNNY at all. Perhaps you missed where I said I had friends KILLED that day! If it had happened literally one min later I would be dead with them.

I can't put the fuel tank in the truck bed, I have a truck camper in the bed. As I see the point that it might bother some folks to see that much fuel and to prevent theft, I am planning on putting a camper shell on the top of the truck bed trailer. YES it will be well ventilated, both passive...

Probably part of an old post here somewhere... but, is any one familiar with the laws on transporting 55 gal drums of diesel for PRIVATE use in a truck bed trailer?? All I find on it is that it is OK as long as it is for private use and a limit on 119 gal. I only wish to haul 110 gal of diesel...

The shocks that I had put on the trailer originally were too short, the auto parts store gave me the wrong shocks the first time. I replaced them with the correct size and better shocks and put new 215/75/17 ST tires on it and all the problems went away. I am looking for a pair of steel wheels...

OK, the truck bed trailer is a stock 1986 F-150 8ft, bed and rear end, original leaf springs and axle assembly. The load will be around 1800lbs + the weight of the trailer.

I had put new, cheap shocks on it, they are trashed from the empty test drives and will need to be replaced. The springs are the stock 1/2 ton F-150 springs attached to the original rear 8.8 axle assembly. It has a lot of spring bounce and sets high when unloaded. There is a small amount of...

OK, so I talked with some one with a lot of years experience building and repairing trailers about this. What I was told was, with the suspension I have now, the limiters would keep me from tearing up my shocks but not keep the trailer from jumping when unloaded unless they were very short. He...

The tires are at 30-32 lbs, that is good for towing loaded, I have no problems then.

Suspension limiter straps/brackets Has any one used these on off road trailers?? The trailer I have bounces a lot on the road and is just scary off road when it is unloaded or even lightly loaded even at low speeds. I am thinking that limiter straps could help with this and be unhooked for off...

new here 1986 ford truck bed trailer behind my 2004 4x4, 1976 camper. Just started on this trailer, so far only new shocks and a paint job. The 1958 chevy short bed trailer that was too small and had a hard life, traded it for the bigger ford trailer.
