I need to buy "all the things!" I have little 4 cylinder minivan and CRV, so will be selling my minivan to purchase some type of truck. I have dreams of taking mountain bikes, kayaks, and ATVs, and just living a nomad life for several months a year. Job is 100% remote, but requires a large-ish desk (2 large monitors), and will need to get a good internet provider (likely satellite). But for a 5th wheel/toy hauler, I have NO concept of the type of truck I will need. When I look at new Ford Superduties, the price has me gnashing my teeth. 1) What are your recommendations for a reliable used truck for hauling a 5th wheel/toy hauler over mountain passes, through death valley, etc. Last thing I want is to over heat/break down/lose breaks, etc. I am not very mechanically inclined, but willing to learn. 2) Are there any brands of 5th wheels/toy haulers I should avoid due to quality issues, or finding mechanics and/or parts issues? ...

So I'm on the market for a travel trailer-toy hauler. I'm looking for suggestions on which models to consider. Use: I would like to be able to tow one quad (2012 Yamaha Grizzly 700). The quad weighs 648lb. It is 6.78ft long and 46.5in wide. The ability to tow an additional dirt bike or quad would be nice but probably unrealistic. I would be using it in two different ways. I have 10 acres in the forest in Michigan. No utilities available on my land (although I do have an outhouse and plan to have a well installed at some point in the near future). The drive to get there from where I live is 4.5 hours long. I would also be using it for my job because I travel for work. I'm a travel Respiratory Therapist (same as a travel nurse type of gig). Every so many months I drive to a new town and work at various hospitals. I've ben renting apartments up to this point but I have met several travelers at work who use travel trailers. This is what I also plan to do with the travel trailer/toy hauler to save $ on rent. I do not want to push the limits of my towing capacity but I want the largest that my vehicle can comfortably tow. Tow vehicle: 2019 Silverado 1500 LT Z71, double cab, 5.3L (L84 w/DFM), 8 speed auto trans, 4wd, Rear Axle 3.23, basic Z82 trailering package (not max tow package).GVWR is 7000lb, GCWR 15,000, GAWR RR is 3800, GAWR FR is 3800, max payload is 1826, max tongue wt is 970, curb weight is 5174, conventional trailer weight rating is 9700 (80% rule of thumb would be 7760). Just as an example of what i've been considering: Cherokee Grey Wolf 18RR, 22RR, Wildwood FSX 210RT, Jayco Jay Flight 125TH, 265TH. I'm not limited to these models and what I want to hear are your suggestions on models from any manufacturer. Thanks! ... View more

  This is the current set up on the back of our toilet. The hard plastic tubbing going from the ground to the toilet started leaking. Pretty badly. We've since shut the water off completely. My question is we'd like to eventually get a dry toilet. So how would i shut off water only to the toilet? There's nothing topside that would allow me to do this. Would I need to go under the rv? If so I don't have the manual which brings me to another question. How do I find the plumbing so I know where or how to cap it off at? I suppose until I get the dry toilet I may be able to tape the pipe? But I'll need to cap it off sometime regardless.  So..  help please It's a 2005 weekend warrior toy hauler  ... View more

My Trailer is prewired for solar but I can't figure out where the wires terminate. My hypothesis is that it's the 3 wires with ring terminals hanging down from the front of the bumper-pull hauler near the battery? If so what the heck is the 3rd wire for? (Red White Black). That location does not make sense to me though, because you wouldn't want the controller exposed to the elements... I'm thinking about this kit as some friends are using it and have not had any issues. http://www.windynation.com/Polycrystalline-Solar-Kits/Windy-Nation-Inc/WindyNation-200-Watt-12-24V-Polycrystalline-Solar-Panel-Complete-Kit-with-LCD-Solar-Controller-RV-Boat-Of/-/631?p=YzE9OA== ...

Warning! Anyone thinking of buying one of these units DO NOT! For the record, this is our eighth camper we have owned over the course of 20 years. We know the drill and have many experiences with manufacturers. Never have we been treated this bad before Stealth. Purchased our 2020 24' FB in March of 2020. First noticed massive water leak around rear window in Jan 2021. Went round and round with them for months! Horrible communication and follow through with their warranty department! Finally got a check in the mail for labor costs but never received any materials. We couldn’t wait any longer and began the repairs, FYI we are a registered repair shop. Holy **** did we literally open Pandora's Box! The construction, fit and finish and lack of craftsmanship was appalling! Every window and door entry leaked and had voids in sealant! Throughout the whole unit, multiple fasteners were missing! The freshwater vent hose kinked and blew floor apart! The bathroom plumbing leaked. The roof was not properly reinforced for the Air Conditioner weight and almost fell through! And the list goes on and on. We have tried working with Stealth and was just passed on from one person to the next. I have a documented timeline verifying everything and how they totally dropped the ball in this disaster and yet they have the Gaul to tell us they will not cover their absolutely horrible construction of this unit. So now our goal... to make sure no one else gets burned like we did! I will be posting on all RV social mediate websites and forums. If you know of any others, please let me know. Anyone else with the same issue, please reach out to me, {SNIP} MOD'S EDIT: Please review the forum rules, especially this one: Forum Rules wrote: Posts are not allowed in which a local, state, or federal consumer action board and/or legal counsel is/have been involved.

As a wheelchair user I am interested in finding Toy Haulers with a lower ground clearance so that the ramp is not so steep. Where can I find this type of spec? ... View more

Just came across a video showing a guy mounting a spare tire carrier to the ramp door of his toy hauler. Just wondering if anyone has done this and if so how is it holding up. I have seen a mount that was placed just below the ramp door and ita seemed to have enough support so as not to destroy the door but this one is different. If anyone has tried this way let me know how it has worked out for you. Here is a linc to the video I just watched;  Spare tire mount for trailer , toyhauler , DIY - YouTube ... View more

We are looking at the 325G. https://www.granddesignrv.com/toy-haulers/momentum-g-class/325g https://changinglanesrv.com/415g-and-325g/ Who makes a floor plan similar to this? I can find plenty of open concept toy haulers but none that are 101" wide and short like this one. We have a Polaris Turbo R and a Polaris XP5 4 door Xpedition and need the option to carry either one. From the video description width or length for either one won't be a problem. Turbo R is 78" wide and Xpedition is 68". What about height? Anybody know the dimensions to the bottom of the happi jac sofa? Also can you remove the bed above the happi jac sofa, then raise the bed up for more height clearance? ... View more
