Re: What Is My Tongue Weight Given These Weight Slips

So a weight distribution hitch properly set up will transfer the 220 pounds back to the front axle...... right? OP--sorry to hijack your post. I'll just watch and learn here. Not a problem, I got my question answered.453Views0likes0CommentsRe: Will Towing a Keystone TH to Alaska Make it Fall Apart?
If you have full hook ups it could be done with planning. You would need two electric space heaters, and I would purchase the heating element for the a/c unit. You have the furnace as a last resort but I don't think you will need it very often. Make sure your water heater is gas and electric and use the electric. For sure you can stay comfortable with the above. Set the portable electric heaters at 70 and they should do a fairly good job of keeping it warm in there in all but the worst of weather. The bigger issue will be keeping hoses and tanks from freezing. Heated/insulated tanks, should suffice for your tanks- especially if you are hooked up and leave the valves open. Make sure the tanks are served by electric blankets and not insulated tanks that are feed by warm air from the furnace. You will want a solid pvc or other drain pipe from the rv to sewer. Take your water hose inside at night and leave it in the shower so it does not freeze or has a chance to unfreeze if the day was super cold. I would keep very little water in the water tank of the trailer and plan my showers for when the hose was hooked up... I will not be keeping water in it.457Views0likes0CommentsRe: Will Towing a Keystone TH to Alaska Make it Fall Apart?
Thanks for the replies. I drove up to Alaska four years ago in the winter for a ski trip and that's the plan again this winter. My question is geared more for what kind of milage can these trailers handle? They are made for people to use on the weekends for 4 months out of the year is kinda my thought. Will towing it full time just deteriorate the entire thing? Is it made to handle full time towing and traveling?457Views0likes0CommentsWill Towing a Keystone TH to Alaska Make it Fall Apart?
So I just sold a high end ATC fifth wheel toy hauler. They are very well built with real wood throughout the camper. The bathroom door weighed about 50 pounds by itself. :E It was just too dang big though so I sold it. I'm looking at getting a Keystone 27 Carbon bumper pull travel trailer. My girlfriend and I will be full timing in it and towing it to Alaska for some winter time skiing and snowmobiling. My questions is, will the dang thing just fall apart around us as we use it? I've not seen this exact model but travel trailers that I've looked at seem to be pretty chincy. What's your opinion? The other option I was going to do was buy a Northern Lite truck bed camper and tow an enclosed trailer behind. But I really need to be able to use the bed and it's a pain to load and unload a camper and impossible in the winter when the ground is freezing and thawing everyday. Thanks for any advice.3.3KViews0likes13CommentsRe: How To Buy A Camper In Canada and Exchange Rate....
Thanks, this is very helpful. The camper is from a private seller and the cost is $30,000 Canadian. Will I be charged any fees for bringing it into the US. Is it something I need to declare? It's not being registered in the US as it's just a truck bed camper.175Views0likes0CommentsHow To Buy A Camper In Canada and Exchange Rate....
I found a camper in Canada I'd like to buy and I'm in North Dakota. I'm wondering what the process is for buying items in Canada and bringing them to the US. Also, the exchange rate is currently $1.00 Candian for $.75 US dollars. If I go to a bank in Canada with US dollars will I get this exchange rate? I'm just looking for first hand experience from someone that has maybe done this. I've looked on google but I'm still a little confused by all of it. Thank you in advance.3.7KViews0likes22Comments
