Re: Back up camera on trailer

Alf, great idea to use the flashers. I will remember that. Yep, I can see how that would work really well.

Re: Back up camera on trailer

Yes, you can do something about tailgaters. I slow down on them. Tailgating is dangerous to us, the other car's occupants and anyone else around. They usually pass me because I slow down enough that...

Home with a 19'!

Picked up our Escape last week! Just before Easter. Private sale. Less than a year old. It was a wonderful trip visiting with the sellers at their idyllic property. She made us the best food!!

Re: Back up camera on trailer

One of the main safety groups has asked Congress to require cameras on all cars from 2013, I believe. THE reason for that is that many young children have been killed from what is called "Bye, bye"...

Eric, good for you! It is especially nice to know that it towed well even in such awful weather. I am sure you were glad to get home safely.

DaveK, thank you for the tip on the aluminum foil tape. They have a waterproof version which has "Waterproof" written across it in big letters. We passed on that one for the one you showed us.

Eric, we are not picking up now. Just getting ready. So you will have to tell us what's missing! We have a whole load of "necessities." Getting tire sensors next. We are nothing if not prepared....

Re: 17B bed

Gocamp, someone had a bed extension made for the 17' and she said it worked great. It sticks out past the bed so your feet are in the "hall." I am pretty certain that Reace made it. You do not have...

Re: Weighed the New 19

Baglo, I ordered a Sherline at about 5 p.m. one day and it was at the door the next day, UPS ground. McMasters-Carr. 1000 lbs. We have not tried it yet, of course, but it will be very handy. Once we...

Re: Weighed the New 19

Steve, I am supposing that your tongue weight will decrease when you load up? It will be interesting, however, to see if it stays the same or what.

Could you give your options again, please? AC?...

Re: Finally Got It Home

Very nice trailer, Steve!

You have insulation, right? I will be interested in your weight when you get it.

Bet you are happy to get that Escape home!!

Re: waxed paper on hitch ball

I think you are right, Jim. I have the grease and hitch ball cover, ready to go.
By the way, what size is the hitch ball for a 19'? Is it different depending on the tow vehicle or whether a WDH is...

Re: waxed paper on hitch ball

They use a new piece of waxed paper every time. I might have goofed on the size, 24" seems big. Maybe it is 12".
I also heard about using dish liquid.

waxed paper on hitch ball

Apparently, quite a few people do not use grease on their hitch balls. Instead, they fold a 24" square piece of waxed paper twice and put that on the hitch ball, then put on the coupler. One man says...

Hitching up with your spouse

Eric T, I jumped over here but I am sure you will find it. That is nice that Mary and you can hitch up the trailer easily together. Many are not quite as even-tempered as you.

Re: Picking up a trailer, tools and supplies

Baglo, I thought I would get one of those ovens. What does it weigh? I have a nothing "oven" so I will be forced to try that first and see if it is worth anything.

Picking up a trailer, tools and supplies

Hi, all,

We are trying to get everything together for our very first trailer and it is a long list. Maybe there should be a list for Picking Up A Trailer and Getting Home in 3 Hours and another...

Re: "LUCKY to ESCAPE"

Greetings, Roger!

What a trip you have. You ask about what to bring to pick up your trailer.

We, too, expect to get a trailer in the coming months. I have been trying to make a list of what...

Re: South Carlsbad SB, California

Wow, Vicki, that's my kind of campground. We were there a zillion years ago but not with a trailer. Hope to go in an Escape in not too long. Sitting and watching the whales and pelicans must be great.

I start from the premise that towing a trailer is an incredibly unsafe thing to do and I go from...
