With that, you can travel at your own pace but can always check and see if the other travelers are close by.Re: PrinterNever have taken a printer while camping, but there are times it would be nice. Like when purchasing a fishing license online and it has to be printed out to be valid. As stated before, you're better off with a laser printer. An inkjet will dry out if it's not used on a periodic basis.Re: First TT adviceCorrect me if I'm wrong, but... doesn't having a WDH remove some of the weight from the hitch and distribute it to the axles of the truck and trailer? Thus reducing the amount of weight that the tongue is actually putting on the hitch. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.Re: A/C on 20 ampThanks all. I've got a wedding coming up this summer and may need the trailer for housing some of the bridal party.A/C on 20 ampWhen I'm at home, I use an adapter and plug my TT into a 20 amp outlet. I've heard that you shouldn't run your A/C when only plugged into 20 amps, but the breaker for the A/C in the TT is only a 20 amp circuit. Should there be any issue running the A/C with only 20 amps, if nothing else is running? Thoughts? ThanksRe: Awning MotorI recently had to change the motor on my awning. I found a replacement on eBay that worked well and installed in about 5 minutes. Your mileage may vary depending on brand of awning.Re: Travel Trailer Shopping - NewbieTake it from someone who went through this a couple of years ago. I upgraded from a popup and had to learn the entire GVWR, Tow capacity, cargo capacity, etc... It can be somewhat daunting and confusing, but it's extremely important to know what your particular vehicle will safely tow. Once you figure that out, you can look at floor plans that suit your needs and stay within the limits of your tow vehicle.Re: Tap into my 30 amp Dryer outlet for an RV outlet???A 20 amp circuit is fine for just charging the battery and running the fridge. I keep mine plugged into a 20 amp circuit all year long.Re: Weighing rvI agree with mobeewan. Find a sand and gravel pit in your area and check with them about using their scales.Re: My wife wants to camp in the drivewayI keep our TT parked beside the garage and use it spring thru fall for Sunday naps. Too cold during the winter(too cheap to heat it up for a nap). Best part of napping in the TT... no phone, no telemarketer calls in the middle of said nap.
