Re: Electric Jack Ratings??
SoundGuy wrote: Griz14 wrote: How do they rate an electric trailer jack? When it says it is rated 4K with 18" lift, is that referring to the tongue weight or the trailer weight? All force bearing on the jack, which includes not just the trailer's gross tongue weight but also the weight of the tow vehicle as you elevate the rear in order to more easily mount weight distribution spring bars. +1179Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tornadoes in the Southeast

The likelihood of being affected by a tornado while traveling the Southeast is extremely minimal. +1389Views0likes0CommentsRe: Won't someone please make rugged small trailers??

Right now, in general, it looks like we, the consumer, want bigger, and cheaper rigs - because we don't want to pay more. +1285Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fridge Question

The OP first said - "As of right now I have it parked in my yard, which isn't exactly level." and later followed that with - "Ok if half bubble out is the max then I'm way off". "Way off" doesn't sound level enough for occupancy and therefore not good for the fridge considering we know that any gas absorption fridge operated beyond leveling specs recommended by the manufacturer can begin to suffer damage to the cooling unit in as little as 15 minutes. If this rig has been sitting for days or weeks "way off" level with the fridge running then it shouldn't be any surprise at all that the cooling unit may already be partially blocked, as evidenced by poor cooling efficiency. :( I didn't read the OP posts carefully enough. I missed the part about 'way off'. You are correct338Views0likes0Comments
