Emergency chains
Hi, I would like to change one of my safety cables (wear from dragging) out for a coiled cable. My trailer gross weight is 7,700# and outside of "as heavy as possible" what size do I need. Is there a rule of thumb of how heavy chain/cable would be required? Thanks in advance, Jon2.4KViews0likes10CommentsFaux interioer wood finish options
Our trailer (2005 zinger 27rls)is starting to show its age. Some of the (pressed)wood on the cabinets is simply a faux woodgrain sticker. There are a few scrape and rub marks that I would like to take care of. Has anyone repaired this themselves with any degree of success? Thanks in advance, Jon783Views0likes2Commentsmodifty stove w/ignitor
Has anyone bought a generic spark generator for gas grills and add it to a stove to make lighting easier? Seems you could drill a small hole in the front panel and wire it from underneath. A 6 wire ignitor off amazon is less than $11 and a AA battery you could get a seasons of easy lights. I'm just concerned about mounting the spark tip and a ground source. Thanks in advance, Jon1.6KViews0likes8CommentsWD hitch adjustment
Recently I purchased a used 12" hitch bar since my ram 1500 w/20" tires always made the trailer sit a little high in front while towing. I have an older Reese WD setup. I found a universal manual for setting it up, but I don't think I am getting it just right. I am not sure how to adjust the ball head with the 6 sided adjuster disk. Has anyone found an idiotproof manual for this style of hitch. Thanks in advance, Jon609Views0likes1CommentRe: mice
We park out trailer most of the summer at the conservation club I belong to. It seems those mice are unstoppable. As fast as I repair the holes with gorrila tape they simply chew a new hole in the fabric. If the bottoms of trailers were more solid we wouldn't be having this conversation as often as we do.395Views0likes0Comments
