    My wife and I just finished setting up our 2020 JLU wrangler to flat tow behind our Jayco 27NF. Our tow system is the ready brake elite 2. We did a short check out tow yesterday and everything went well. I started this post to ask people to share their top couple of lessons learned when flat...

    Flat Tire on Tow Dolly and what NOT to do

    Traveling West on I-10 in Mississippi a couple of weeks back I was passed by a older Class A that is dolly towing a car. Moving faster than me at 70 plus but my Toad is 65MPH limited so that is not all that unusual. Suddenly I see the left side Dolly tire explode with debris everywhere and...

    Looking for a TPMS

    Anyone have a TPMS to recommend? Last February had 3 flats on my tow vehicle, but at least the vehicle warned me that I was losing pressure. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I got new heavy duty trailer tires installed, and metal stems. I have a weak bias toward smart phone interface. Thanks, Padre.

    Check your metal valve stems!

    Check your valve stems! Let me explain. I had pulled out of a campsite and moved my GD 351M to another site about a mile away. Got out of the truck and heard air escaping from a tire on the trailer. I thought I had a puncture and watched as the tire quickly deflated. I removed the tire and...

    2021 17MKE Murphy Bed not level or flat

    When the bed is folded down the foot section is still at at slope like it needs to go down just a little more. Our feet are higher than our head and it just doesn't feel or look right. Seems to me it should be perfectly flat and level. Anyone have this issue? Thank you, Geoff

    One Tire Occasionally Looses Air?

    I have a 2019 Imagine, I took several trips before June, then in June I noticed one tire was low. I filled it up and it kept pressure for several weeks, but took it in and had it checked out, no leak but they replaced the valve stem. Took an almost 2500 mile trip, and then sat for 3 weeks, with...

    Jacking my wide axel 24RBS to fix a flat

    Greetings. I'm a newbie to TT camping and want to be prepared for a flat. Do I need to buy a bottle or scissor jack to lift on the leaf spring bracket or frame rail? Can i lift the flat off the ground by rolling the good tire up on leveling blocks? With wide axels it seems i'd have to lift it...
