Re: TT shopping
A 6000# travel trailer will have a loaded tongue or hitch weight of 600# up to maybe 720# or maybe more. Once you load the family and cargo into the pathfinder will you have the payload capacity to add the additional 720# to the Pathfinder. You cannot believe the brochure hitch weight as this is based on a dry trailer and does not include any manufacturers' options. Ken632Views0likes0CommentsRe: Need suggestions
What good is the dry weight unless you will never add any personal items to the trailer. You need to be looking at the trailer GVWR which is the trailer loaded and wet maximum rating. The manufacturers dry weight will not include any item listed as an option. Additional weight items may include batteries, full propane tanks, microwave, awning or Television. What are you planning to use for a tow vehicle? Ken262Views0likes0CommentsRe: Founded in 1928, RV company in Liquidation
We had one of the last two NUWA HitchHicker Champagnes built before they shut down. They built a quality trailer that did cost a bit more, but the market would not support a quality trailer. People are interested in the bling and glitz and the biggest box they can get for the fewest dollars. Ken789Views0likes0CommentsRe: TT Wear on one tire..only took few short trips
A year ago, a couple in the park with a brand-new Solitude had bad tore wear from the trip to the dealer in Houston and 40 miles then to their site. After a trip to the dealer to check things and a new tire, they took a 300 mile trip and just about wore out the tire again. Back to the dealer and they had a trailer alignment shop check the trailer and the spring hangers on one axle were not put on right from Lippert. A trailer shop repaired the spring hangers and Lippert paid the bill and another new tire. Ken839Views0likes0Comments
