Get the diesel Colorado. It has rec'd nothing but praise and is a good match for the trailer. Check YOUTUBE for video reviews...especially The Fast Lane Truck series.

Rust and possible water entry points under propane tray.

Hi Everyone,
I recently removed the propane tray on my 2016 21 and noticed a fair amount of surface rust on the frame and tray. ETI uses Tek (self tapping screws) and no washer gaskets. The rust is...

We were very pleased with the rates from Progressive for our new 21. Roughly $185.00 for the year. No mention of fiberglass discounts. There seems to be quite a wide range in premiums for RVs....

Hi Jim,
I need the valet to maneuver around the driveway. It's not practical to back into place with the truck. The incline does not pose a problem when hitching up.

BTW, the crankshafts are interchangeable for use on either side of the unit if clearance is an issue.

Re: Trailer valet on incline

Here's a daytime photo of our trailer and the incline of our driveway...the trailer is level. I believe the manufacturer says a 5 degree angle is acceptable, mine is more and it functions quite well.

I have at least 90 degrees of swivel relative to the trailer. Enough so that I can pivot the rig left or right without pushing it backwards.

Photo of trailer on incline Re: Trailer Valet

Okay, so I just went out and took a photo which shows how much of a pitch our driveway has. The trailer is level so you can see how large the drop is by comparing the front bottom of the trailer to...

I back our trailer into the driveway which in my case means downhill. If I didn't chock the back of the wheels it would roll. If you are backing your trailer uphill then the weight increases on the...

My driveway is fairly steep, enough so the jack is nearly bottomed out in order to level the trailer. I'll post a photo tomorrow.
