    Who has painted a fiberglass travel trailer .DIY.

    I have a dark blue small fiberglass trailer. It looks great when first polished but only last a few months in the Arizona sun and then it goes very bad and I’m getting tired of compounding and waxing every time I go camping.

    Class B towing a small travel trailer when needed

    Hi, What do folks think of a class B and sub 20ft small travel trailer combo? For 2-3 night trips just take the class B and longer trips take both. For long trip it could be left in campgrounds as a Basecamp. Thanks,

    Can my travel trailer drain my towing vehicle's battery?

    I just got a 2021 Wolf Pup 16BHS. I hired a guy to drive it to me across the country. When it arrived from the trip (4 days), we stepped inside to fill out some forms and I just happened to notice the refrigerator was running. I opened it and the freezer and they were nice and cold. I asked...

    Suspension kit with shock absorbers for a travel trailer

    Would a suspension kit with shock absorbers reduce the wear and tear on a travel trailer when it drives down the road and rattles everything including the screws free? Currently the GD 17mke TT im thinking of buying has leaf springs and some kind of shackle made by dexter. Looks low cost.
