Update since buying my first TT
I had posted at the end of April that I finally purchased my first RV, a TT. Wanted to give an update on how it's going so far.
Have now used it 3 times. Towing it seems to be fine, have had no issues with getting it hooked up, towing or sway. One thing is that I seem to have a problem when unhooking it from the truck. The first time the hitch came off the ball fairly easy when raised with the electric jack. The second time I actually lifted the back wheels of the truck off the ground before it came off. The 3rd time I greased the ball and inside of the hitch. I still seemed to have difficulty getting unhitched. Am I doing something wrong?
The second time I used it was on my way home and a tire blew. I had thought I had purchased everything that I needed to for it, except for stuff to change a tire. Where I pulled over was in front of an RV Resort. A man came out and asked me what was wrong. I explained I had a flat tire. He asked me if I had stuff to change it with, I told him no. He went to his truck and came back with everything to put the spare on. So now, I have everything, a lug nut wrench, I bought a ramp, a bottle jack, an air compressor, etc. So now I have what is needed to change a flat. Oh yeah, and a new tire.
This last weekend, the 4th, I was talking with some neighbors at the camp ground, they too had just got their first TT. The guy was telling me that he got a trickle battery charger for his. Is this something that is necessary to have? I always disconnect the battery when not in use.
The other thing is that I bought a Camco drinking water hose, it's suppose to be no kink, but it does! Also have a hard time getting put back in the container I bought to store it. Can one of those flex hoses be used to connect the water?
Otherwise, I am thoroughly enjoying the TT!!!
