We have a fifth wheel so my "wants" are specific to towed units.
By far, what I would like is running gear, frame, and tires that are road ready. I can drive my Silverado for 150,000 miles without changing bushings, greasing wheel bearings, and tires usually last 60,000 miles with minimal care. Why can't my trailers?
Better insulation and leak proofing would be welcomed.
Other than that, I am OK with things as they are.
Road ready... I couldn't agree more.
On another thread http://forums.trailerlife.com/Index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/27437510/srt/pa/pging/1/page/1.cfm
the OP was asking about taking their a TC or 5th wheel to AK. My opinion... take the TC.
I love our 5th wheel... but IMO it is not constructed to meet the demands of towing the AlCan to AK. This forum is full of folks *****in about Lippert frames... which almost all of us 5th wheel owners have. Yet when it comes to towing to AK... very few people discourage 5th wheel owners from making the trip.
Either all the complaints are bogus regarding Lippert frames or all the travelers who tow a 5th wheel to AK have their heads in the sand.
