We down sized our trailer and got something smaller. How does my new set up look? I haven't taken it to the scales yet, but plan to.I think the hitch needs to be lowered a bit to get the tongue paralle.Uploaded with ImageShack.us

It looks like it came with a wet bath. Is that what you really want? Also, you obviously need a weight distribution hitch, probably around 1000 pound spring bars, to keep the trailer behind the tow vehicle and not to get into a sway condition. Don't let those on here that might try to tell you that you can tow it on the ball safely and if I were you I would get a one ton dually to tow that beast. Get rid of those junk Chinese tires that it came with. Otherwise, you never know!!!!

You need airbags. What is the GVWR of the TT?

Good thing the trailer is empty, or the weight police would be all over you!

Yes I agree newer tires With the tires in the corners it should be stable, will you add a couple of jacks? How is the wiring set up?

You are on the right track - keep working at it and you will get it right. Also it would be a good idea to run it by the weight police.

You are way over on all your ratings, what kind of tires do you have on that trailer you will need to upgrade to Maxxis M8008.:)

Im pretty sure that you'll need a Class A CDL as well-with Doubles, the pivoting front axle will most likely be seen as a dolly at the weigh station... ;)

I will need new tires for sure. I towed it from my garage to the road, blew out 2 tires.

A FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS AN ENGINEER said I wouldn't need a sway bar, it would only make it worse. He also said I wouldn't need antifreeze when I winterized because air doesn't freeze.
