RE: Need guidance on best roof trailers

We have a TT with a fiberglas roof, made the same way as the walls. It is a 2014 and shows no signs of deterioration.
PS it is a Evergreen Ascend 231RKB, which is regretfully no longer made.

RE: Poorly planned purchase of Torklift Rear tie downs

Try looking at thus 48" 2" hitch extension.
You would need to do some custom fabrication.
Good luck!

This is one reason I will not buy a RV that restricts movement when the slides are in!

RE: Battery upgrade, maybe solar option also

When up grading batteries check to see if your converter is up to the task of charging them. AGM and Lithium batteries take different charging rates and voltages! Yes, another cost, but don't damage the new batteries.

RE: Alllergic to camp fire smoke.....? RV coming 3 weeks!!!!

If you decide to use the LPG port on your RV, remember that it's a low pressure connection. That means your fire pit can not have a pressure regulator on it, it just needs a control valve!
I also just got a fire pit rated mat to place underneath it not to burn the grass or anything else it sits on. I'll test it on my next camping trip this summer.

RE: Axle-less trailer suspension: pros and cons?

The frame must be cross braced! Without an axel to spread the lateral forces the frame can twist.
Other than that, they are a good suspension.

RE: TPMS: What's the latest?

If you get external (cap type) make sure you get or have metal valve stems! The extra weight or stress can Crack the stems.
Don't ask how I know.

RE: 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter recommendation needed

I bought Samulex PST-2000-12
I mounted mine in my truck.
Samulex site is also a great source of information on designing a solar, battery, inverter system. They even have a cabling kit with the proper sized cable.
Good luck on your design.

RE: Let's talk air bags...

I have Airlift bags that do not have an internal bump-stop. The instructions state that I must keep a minimum of 5 psi at all times, because the instructions made me remove the OEM ones.
Check yours to see if this is a requirement with yours.

RE: Making A Warmer Truck Camper Bed

When I had my TC, I used Harbor Freight's fatigue mat. They are 3/4" thick flexible foam and they interlock. It adds insulation and a little cushion.
Worked great for the low cost.

RE: Tesla with a generator on a hitch haul

This is almost as funny as the post of a "Help Truck" towing a trailer with a diesel powered generator, setup to charge stranded EVs.
