Re: Camper Leveler
I thought they would be great and bought some. I don't want to take space needed to carry dirty wet wood around. My storage areas are too small and shallow. There was an issue with my order. I placed it with an online vendor that had a good price was but selling a product they no longer sold. I got a call from the mfg explaining this to me....long story short. I actually signed up to be a dealer for these....just to get them at wholesale. I sold through my original order very fast. I recently got to use them. I love them. Super easy to level plus they chock the front and back of the wheel at the same time. Pricey but worth it in time saving since I no longer have to figure out...one board, two or three. It also saves on weight and space in the trailer.459Views0likes0CommentsRe: Towing with a Pathfinder
I have owned 3 Pathfinders and also I used to work at a Nissan dealership for 17 years. I towed 4,000 lbs on my 2002 Pathfinder with a small 3.5L engine. I used airbags to help the rear suspension. I towed from Michigan to Yellowstone and took the high roads with no issues. I upgraded to the newer 2006 Pathfinder and also had zero issues. Recently I upgraded to a 2008 - V6 Pathfinder and a 24 foot TT. It weighs 3800lbs empty. I have towed with it a few times on relatively flat hwys in Michigan. I am probably 4500lbs all loaded up. I have no suspension issues or sag. At 70mph I feel a little too much wiggle at times even with an equilizer hitch. At 55mph I feel rock steady. I may wish I had a V8 when going to higher elevations. My TT is quite a bit taller and wider than the Pathfinder and that I am sure takes away from handling and tow weights....well towing safely anyway.933Views0likes0CommentsRe: Nissan Frontier V6

Tahnks for posting that though some Frontier owners may not be aare of the potential problem! This vehicle really does not have a transmission issue. The issue is with SOME radiators that fail internally and mix fluids. Worse case is that it is not found early and you need to rebuild your trans....$4000. If you don't have the issue you can prevent it permanately by just bypassing the lower trans to the radiator. It is super cheap and very easy to do. If you do heavy towing you could even add and external trans cooler to the line you bypassed. You just prevented and issue and gave yourself extra cooling. Personally I would not tow that much with the Frontier.... You'll notice lots of problems in wind and at higher speeds. Plus the footprint of the vehicle is overshadowed by the trailer.513Views0likes0Comments
