RE: When is weight distribution needed?
After pulling trailers for many years, I would think that you would want to have a form of sway control....
I know that 1 year on my way back from SC, I broke my sway control friction bar... I was towing a 29' TT with my 1 ton SRW and boy could I feel the sway when I passed trucks, or they passed me....

RE: Blackstone 22" griddle for $99 at Walmart!!
I love my 17" blackstone....
We take it every where with us. It was on sale for $75.00 at the time and I had a $25.00 gift card so it was a no brainer for me. It came with a cover and a carry bag.
I season it every couple of trips, but cook bacon on it every trip so that assists in the seasoning .

RE: Lowes has a great price on 20V Dewalt 1/2 drill
I have 3 of the Milwaukee 18V cordless, but may have to run and get 1 of these for backup .... Can't go wrong at that price.

RE: Forest River Cardinal and Cedar Creek Question
Previous discussions each. BTW, we own a Cardinal.
Cardinal vs CC
That discussion was from 2006 and really has no bearing today.
TRUE>> AND>>>>
the Cardinals took away the molded rear cap as standard... I BELIEVE that they only come with 1 certain package now... back in 2006 they were standard

It took a good bit of negotiations thru several dealers, but I landed on a Momentum 28G locally for a price I'm happy with that I'm picking up next week. Thanks for the input!
Congratulations ! As long as YOU are HAPPY with the price, that is all that matters.!!
Happy Camping ! Stay Safe

RE: will a flat tire cause my fifth wheel to lean
Weak springs will cause a lean.... Weak springs happen.... BUT... 2 flat tires on the same side would cause a BIG LEAN ! ! !
Figure that the side with 2 flats will be close to 5-6" lower than the other side... Have you NEVER had a flat on any vehicle before to notice?

RE: Any deals?
You can look at Susquehanna RV, they have 2 facilities, 1 in Selingsgrove, and 1 in Bloomsburg.. they are a family owned facility and treat people fair..
I purchased my last Redwood from the Selingsgrove store and it was a good experience. Although they do not stock the manufacturers yu stated, they may have something you like..
ON edit... They are showing a few 2020 fifth wheels at 35% off MSRP.

RE: Pro trailer back up assist
Back in 2015 I was in Key Largo at a nice campground and had a water front spot right at the boat dock.
The boats would come and go, and they would have the danrest time backing up...
I took this picture of a kid who had to be 10 years old,, he whipped that around and put that trailer exactly in the middle of the ramp....
I would have never believed it if I was not sitting there...
I asked his dad about it and they have a farm in Texas and he helps on the farm...

RE: Pro trailer back up assist
I have it on my new truck and would never think to use it... There is no way I am allowing a computer to do my work :B
Seriously,
I do have it but like above, I've been backing trailers for many, many years and have no need for it.. I DO see the reason its here as I have seen my share of BAD BACKERS ! ! !
Like anything else, I guess it has it's place

RE: Air bubble under front of rubber roof
True or false, roof bubbles aren't a big deal?
DEPENDS....
They ( Alpha ) says that there will be "some" small bubbles in hot temperatures... Small, as in quarter sized bubbles...

RE: Air bubble under front of rubber roof
I've seen many RV rolling down the road with air bubbles....
When I buy a new trailer, the first thong I do is run a piece of 6" Eternabond across the seam. This prevents ( I believe ) the air from having any type pf chance of getting under the front seam...

RE: Keeping pets safe in travel trailer while “home alone”
Been traveling with a dog, or dogs for 30+ years...
Like already stated, how they react at home is usually how they will be in the RV... Take a drive, park away and sneak back to see what they are going....
Get a monitor and keep a watch..

RE: No 3/4 ton trucks.
I am pretty friendly with the owner of our local Ford Dealer, been buying form him for years.
The Super Duty trucks are very sloe to come in, when they do, they are special order trucks.
He told me that almost every stock truck inbound is sold before it hits the pavement.. AND AT NEXT TO NO DISCOUNT ... He is pretty much naming his price and getting it... Crazy Times
