Re: New Tires For A Brand New Trailer
Old-Biscuit wrote: New....run for a couple of seasons Used.....check the mfg date on sidewall if tires ---4 digit number week/year Usually on sidewall that is on inside of trailer so you will have to crawl underneath to see it If older then 4 yrs ....NEW tires I know it is wrong to assume things but when buying a brand new travel trailer I would expect the tires to be fairly new as well in terms of the manufacturer date and proper rating. Am I foolish to expect this much or ?244Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3 month stays

It will show the campgrounds in the area you plan to stay with detailed info about each campground. That RV Trip Wizard demo looks amazing, it even shows the different connectivity each location has. I am going to buy a membership tonight.546Views0likes0CommentsNew Tires For A Brand New Trailer
So as someone that has yet to own a travel trailer I have been watching YouTube and a couple of the videos are recomending getting new tires or upgraded tires when you buy a new or used RV. I plan to buy a new Della Terra. How do I know if the tires that are standard on it are good enough or if they need to be upgraded.3.7KViews0likes23CommentsRe: 3 month stays

Are their other versions like this around the country. If I can find one or maybe two others like this I would have exactly what I want.545Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3 month stays

Decent rates say anything under $1500 a month, and of course cheaper is better. I am not really concerned if the park has say a swimming pool or clubhouse. In terms of locations I have allot of flexability so I can go pretty much anywhere that I can get internet service. I have sales reps throughout North America and I basically make camp in an area and meet with the reps as they pass thru. For example I am currently in North Florida so the reps come from the surrounding states as they have time. I would essentially like to get a set list of spots of around 12 locations staged around the country geographically and move one to the other about every 3 months. Getting a 3-month stay this summer may be a problem.547Views0likes0Comments3 month stays
I will be going into full time RV mode this summer. My business is all over the United States and I am typically in one area for 3 months so I am interested in putting together a list of places that have full hookups at decent prices for extended stays. If you are aware of any please let me know.2.5KViews0likes13CommentsRe: Recommended Truck Modifications/Addons
My business takes me all over the country so I will be driving thru the mountains and very hot areas. From what I read a tranny cooler is a cheap insurance policy. The prelube is just something that sounded like a good idea. I have no experience with it but the concept makes sense to me.419Views0likes0CommentsRecommended Truck Modifications/Addons
The only experience I have pulling a trailer was a small U-haul I used a couple of times over the years and I plan on buying a brand new truck either a 1500 or 2500 Ram and would like to know are there modifications or addons recommended. So far I am thinking of two: 01. Transmission Cooler 02. Preluber1.8KViews0likes13CommentsRe: Annual Maintenance & Repair Budget

Detailing, and simple service can add up fast, most do this themselves. It could cost 3 to 4 hundred for a mid sized trailer wash/wax. Jerry hmm, honestly washing/waxing not something I had considered at all. The caulking, greasing, etc I expected and planned to do myself. I was more or less asking about the reapairs and mainteance that would require someone highly experienced with the work, I am fairly handy but I do not want nor plan to do anything that involves allot of time so I would just pay to have those sorts of things done for me.441Views0likes0Comments
