Re: Small Four Season TT
Lance, escape, and bigfoot make great 4 season lightweight trailers. I think the brands you listed are really well respected standard weight trailers and have a good following here on the forum. Your truck shouldn't have an issue with any of them but checking out the 3 I listed can't hurt.389Views0likes0CommentsRe: Airstream Classic
Go to youtube and check out the channel long long honeymoon. It's a couple who travel extensively in their airstream. They have a ton of content and shill videos for RV products but there is also a ton of worthwhile and interesting video on their trailer, it's maintanence, repairs, etc. I believe their 6.0L Ford has been less reliable and more expensive to repair than the trailer itself.446Views0likes0CommentsRe: Battery Not Charging on Tender
As said, the battery tenders are designed to just keep a battery topped off. They will charge the battery but very slowly. If you are looking for more of a charger with tender capabilities, check out ctek chargers. You want a 10 amp charger for a single battery.176Views0likes0CommentsRe: What are advantages and disadvantages of travel trailers
One of the lesser benefits that always come to my mind is a portable shelter in case of a house malfunction, or a natural disaster. I showered and cooked out of mine when my water heater went out and the home warranty company took 4 days to replace it. I don't see any reason why you can't jump in the deep end by just going for it. Of course you will have some things to learn. Of course you will make mistakes, and of course you will like it.228Views0likes0CommentsRe: Do I need to take my battery home to trickle charge?
Another option for charging may be a solar charger like the one I have from battery tender. I have the 5 watt model, $59 on amazon. I'd think that is marginal for your bigger battery and would suggest at least a 10 watt. The suggestion is null if you worry about theft though. Best of luck in your decision.378Views0likes0CommentsRe: Stabilizers lube

Most any of the brand name lubes work great but I have been using maxima chain wax, a paraffin based lube. It doesn't last as long nore protect as well so you might want to stick with something like PJ1 blue or regular maxima grease based lubes. The chain wax is easier to clean up and in my dry climate, lasts long enough for me.434Views0likes0Comments
