Re: Surge or Electric brake tow dolly
Thank you all for your answers. It took me awhile to get back here and find my post. I wanted to buy a Maverick (FWD) to tow but cannot find any. Looking for an inexpensive FWD vehicle. I am going to sell my 2016 F350 diesel since I no longer need it. Hate to say goodbye to it as it has less than 76K on it and brand new tires but I no longer need a truck like this.2.2KViews2likes1CommentSurge or Electric brake tow dolly
So I just got rid of my Fiver and got a 36 foot motorhome (used). I may use a tow dolly for a couple different reasons but some that I look at have an electric or surge brake option. My MH has a Prodigy controller installed so why would I want a surge brake? Given the choice, what would you chose and why? Thanks I posted this is the "old" forum under dinghy towing but it is now gone.2.5KViews0likes12Comments- 739Views0likes1Comment
batteries in the winter
Ok, so another battery question. The motor home I may buy next week has 2 12 volt batteries in it, not that that makes a difference in my question. I will be storing my unit at home and have a pedestal with 30 amp service.(It was installed when a previous trailer was 30 amp). Over the winter I have some options. Should I leave the MH plugged in all winter and the batteries connected. If I do this, I have a new Battery Minder (not a battery tender that only trickle charges) that keeps the batteries from sulfating---should I attach that to the batteries too or or should I disconnect the batteries, and just use the battery minder. And if I do that, can I leave them in the rig or should I bring them in the house. I am thinking I should bring them in and use the battery minder. I am open to suggestions. Thanks all.2.6KViews0likes16Comments
