Re: Driving in Canada

For the most part, laser detectors will give you very little warning notice, if any notice at all. However, laser scatter does exists and if your lucky, you will pick up some of the skatter and have...

Re: Considering Yellowstone for first destination

We do have reservations for the first 3 nights at Madison, but we plan on moving around after that without reservations. I know you need to get into the campground early in the morning for the first...

Re: Considering Yellowstone for first destination

We are heading up to Yellowstone for the last Week in September and the first week of October, I would think by then we could find camp sites without reservations (for the campgrounds that are first...

Re: CARGO RACK ( not on tongue )

The cargo carrier is from Amazon, it is aluminum (no rusting) and only weighs 26 pounds and is rated for 500 lbs. The folding hinge I got from Etrailer, works really well and gave the perfect amount...

Re: CARGO RACK ( not on tongue )

Here is a few pics of our setup. We use a 20 cubic foot water proof bag that attaches to the cargo carrier to store stuff if needed.

Re: Storage box on tongue

Hi Jeff,

Well 90 seconds vs. 120 seems like a step in the right direction. Is it possible to reduce or remove this delay for folks who have X amount of posts which most likely proves they are...

Re: Storage box on tongue

picture of the batteries. BTW, I really dislike the forums 120 second delay you have to wait between each posting. If i post at 119 seconds, it seems like my delay timer resets, what a pain when...

Re: Tounge Battery ( Topic has been split/merged )

I had a little time today to take a few pictures of our tongue/box. I really like it, the guy at the RV shop who filled the propane tanks today really liked it also and was really impressed with the...

Re: Best TV for an Escape 19?

Jim, my post was not targeting you or questioning your statements. I made the post because after reading a lot on this forum, it is clear to me that there are a lot folks on here that are very new to...

Re: Best TV for an Escape 19?

The trailer loaded up is less then 3500 lbs, a 4500 towing rating is plenty. I have pulled in all kind of terrain, with most of it being hilly and it pulls like a breeze. On the steeper mountain...

Re: Best TV for an Escape 19?

I think folks need to keep in mind that tow ratings are not just based off of what a vehicles engine can pull. You don’t see corvettes pulling trailers, they have the power to pull a trailer, but...

Re: Best TV for an Escape 19?

I agree with Jim, dont get a TV rated any lower then 4500, anything less is just not safe plus you will probably shorten the life of the TV. Even 4500 pounds is cutting it too close in my opinion.

Re: Best TV for an Escape 19?

I just towed my parents 19' with their 2008 Toyota Highlander, it pulled just fine, plus the Highlander is a really nice vehicle. My TV is a Nissan Titan, I really don’t know the trailer is behind me...

Re: Mahindra - Will it be the new best 5.0 tow vehicle?

Note that Dave is quoting dry weights, so it is even worse than that in real life. If the GVW is 7000 lb, and the truck weighs 4400 lb, and you and your wife combined weigh 300 lb and you are...

Re: What temperature extemes can the Escape handle?

Unless you want to get a large trailer that comes with a king size bed, most likely with slide outs, I think a queen size bed is plenty for two. The 19' comes with a queen size bed, which is also a...

Re: Storage box on tongue

Looks good. My father and I are driving up tommorow to see the progress on my parents trailer. Not sure if Reece has mounted the box yet. We plan on putting tools, leveling blocks, hand cleaners,...
