Re: Weight distribution
Cat scales are your savior. Read up on how to get different weight sets and then try them with various loading patterns of truck and trailer. The operator will usually tell you when the slack times are so you can mess with them without blocking truckers. Google "Cat Scales near me".

We have gone through a lot of tires in the last 20 years and I switch the rubber on the big (13,000 pounds GVW) trailer between year 5 and year 6. I'm not risking a failure in the middle of nowhere and I'm too old to be changing heavy tires by myself. We did get GoodSam to come all the way to Tombstone AZ from Tucson one time, but three hours in the sun in July waiting for the tire truck made a believer. I do downrate my take-offs. Either for my son's landscape service trailers or on the local internet with the clear warning that they are cheap but should be considered for local use only! Good tires are like a good rain suit. Basic to RVing. A2.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Wearing under bedroom slide ???
Try aluminum plate. Watch out for the thickness of the plates causing the top of the slide to jam in the opening just as it closes completely. I tried 3/16" and had to remove them and go to 3/32". Plenty stiff. Google 'specialty aluminum plate'.766Views0likes0Comments
