Tongue Weigh Safety
HiYa! I'm lookin to buy and mount on my trailer toungue a Champion Duel Fuel 3500 Generator. I plan to mount it above two 40 pound propane gass cylinders. My trailer is a 2016 26' Connect Spree pulled by a 2017 Dodge Ram Big Horn Laramie with a 5.7L HEMI V8. It also has the integrated towing system which they call the Activ-Level Four-Corner Air Suspension System which "counteracts Weight from trailing/hauling, maintains an even and level profile when loaded and keeps constant the rake from the front end to the rear". "The dash mounted integrated switchback let's you raise or lower the vehicle and let's you control the gain trailer brake gain while towing." Could any of you fine fellow RVnetters advise me whether the following proposed setup on the trailer tongue are safe to pull? Champion Generator: 112 lbs Two filled 40 lb propane tanks: 140 lbs total 12 volt battery: 40 lbs Dry Hitch Weight: 490 pounds (Total tongue Weight above): 782 lbs Trailer UVW: 5,200 lbs Trailer GVWR: 6,800 Thanks!

I plan to buy a 2015 Spree Connect C232IKS travel trailer sometime in the future. I live in PA and am not in a hurry. Price wise, what is the best month of the year to buy one and get the best price. In other words... When do dealers put their inventory on "clearance"? End of summer, end of the month, end of the year, January after a good snow story? (I do not have an RV to trade in) Has anyone in this forum worked for a dealer and have the answer? Thankz! Joe3.5KViews0likes18Comments
