Hydraulic jack
Good day. I know the answer is likely a simple one but I am just not sure about what I need. We have a single axle travel trailer (max weight 5,000 lbs) and a 2011 Silverado 1500. We recently had a flat tire on our trailer while on the highway so I needed to get out my truck jack to use on the trailer. Thankfully someone pulled up who had a hydraulic jack and they jacked my trailer up in a matter of minutes. This was so much simpler than if I had to get my truck jack all set up. So here is my question. What size of hydraulic jack might you recommend for me to purchase to use not only for my trailer but my truck as well. Forgot to add, the kind of jack which was used on my trailer was I guess what you would call a floor jack. https://images.app.goo.gl/QfSsDtg7JRY1LT9G6 Thank you all!2.1KViews0likes17CommentsTire Pressure
I saw that one of my tires was low on our single axle Gulfstream Visa TT. I check the sticker on the TT which says it should have ST205/75D 14C tires. It also states cold tire pressure should be 50 psi. I then check the tire to see that it is a Freestar M-108- Radial S/T, ST205/75 R14. It also has on the tire 50 psi. Two questions. I am no tire expert so can someone please tell me if the tire I have on the TT is similar to the one it recommends on the sticker? Second question, even though the tire states its max psi as 50 and that is what the sticker recommends, then I fill it to 50 psi? Thank you!1.2KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Repacking the wheel bearings
So is there any rule of thumb as to how often one should get the bearings repacked? A couple of years ago it cost me close to $300 so obviously I don't want to be doing it needlessly. And of course I also want to make sure I do it when I should so I don't end up with my wheels seizing up on me as I am heading down the highway.252Views0likes0CommentsRepacking the wheel bearings
We have a lightweight single axle travel trailer we don't use all that much each year. Last year we put around 25 hours of highway travel on it. It as the same the previous year. Is it necessary to get the wheel bearings repacked after so little use?12KViews0likes40Comments
