You don't need anything but a ball hitch to do it that way. If you use jacks, put them under the spring perches and not on the axle. Ive tried this without the torsion bars and the camper just weighs to much. It sank the rear end of my Yukon...476Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ever buy a piece of property to have your own camp site?
I have experience with this. I bought a small lake front {unbuildable} piece of property about five years ago that we use in the spring and summer as well as early fall. We do love it although it has come with some headaches. First of we have no septic or water but I was able to get electricity last year after much haggling with the town and an added cost of about $2,000.00. My taxes each year are $800.00, not bad when you figure the cost of renting a site {aproxx. $2,500.00 to $3,500.00 each year for decent campgrounds in New England.Next year my plan is to add a 400 gallon holding tank that fits underneath my camper that I can have serviced once a summer or so.. I havent looked into drilling for water but i'm pretty sure the state/town might fight me on this but having electricity is a huge plus. I was told by the surveyor that we used, that if we want to spend the$$$ I could probably build some type of "green" house on the property that will of course raise my taxes significantly. This property was going to be sold as "buildable" but the land would not perk. Just my 2. Gregg.537Views0likes0CommentsLeveling Travel trailer
Can I level my 30 foot Fleetwood Mallard without having to move it..?? I have it on my own private land in New Hampshire and it has been there since i had it delivered five years ago and it needs to be leveled from side to side {off about inch and a half-two inches}. I'm thinking I could use a couple of house jacks and slowly work them together so i can add some thing on top off the blocks I have there now. I have a 2003 Yukon XL but i do not own any towing stabilzers for it and seeing i never move it I never invested because of that fact. Should i be thinking of getting something under one tire..?? Thanks Gregg2.9KViews0likes13Comments
