locking up the trailer?
Andrew Roberts replied to swimmarz's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
It is a good idea to keep it locked. Better safe then sorry. I have alway thought of how hard and expensive it is to replace the hitches and other gear when out of town. -

You won't be alone on the roads at 60 mph towing until you get to Florida. Im not sure what happens the moment you cross that line but once you enter florida on I75 the drivers fly and scare the hell out of me. The trucks are no exception just be on your toes and don't worry about mount eagle it is no big deal just stay at a lower speed and don't start back down it above 55mph and you will be just fine -
Oh and they is a delightful sewage smell in the 904 area from the lift station behind 904. Maybe they will look into that as well

It floods over there every time it rains in that spot hope they are fixing that and The Lazy Dayz TT was a Big Park model Wildwood before the Fifth Wheel was brought in this year. My guess is there is a little sweetheart deal they have with the Mouse. If you look around at all the special events they use Class C motorhomes all the time. almost always Coachman leprechauns.

It takes me 20 hours to get form my home in South Bend Indiana to the Fort. 1150 miles give or take a few. I always run 31 to 465 east to I65 to I24 to I75 then the Fl turnpike. the only mountain in this route is mount eagle and it is not an issue just slow down and you will be just fine it is only 55mph at that point anyway. The trucks have to use the Atl bypass you don't and it will save you time to stay on I75 and go straight through ATL. but don't do that in Macon once you get there the Macon Bypass is the faster route. I have made this trip with my camper in as little as 18 hours but I wa -

I have run the marathon every year since 2004 and they always contract outside bus services for these events. all the info will be at the front desk when you check in for these events. and again when you pick up your race packet at wide world of sports.

As noted above I really posted this due to Forest River being in trouble for safety issues. I'm very sure about my findings and trust the people that helped me with it. Being that I'm on the edge of Elkhart Indiana. I have a lot of assistance from the engineers (my friends) that build this stuff. (all of which warned me that that was to big a rig for just two axles). But again this really is a post about Forest River's issues not mine I just brought my example into it

I do appreciate the answer but the fact is the tires were under sized. The whole unit was scaled and there is only 950lb on the truck. and the back axle was holding 7200b and the front was at 6600lb. It was not safe in anyway shape or form. And all you have to do is drive into any truck stop with a scale and weigh the unit twice once with the truck and once without. place the scale plates between the axles and you can get the axle weight. Oh and the other part is the determination that it was overweight for the tires was done by Goodyear Commercial. the Failure of the Tires were from over heat

Hopefully the below link will work. I live in the area where most of our beloved RV are made. Found this article in the paper a few days ago. Also wondering if this will help me or any of you. I own a Forest river Fifth Wheel that was manufacture in 2013 and was sitting on tires that were under sized for it. The tire they put on it were only rated for 3200lb and yet the Camper weighs in at 15,000. With only four wheels the math just won't not work. I never noticed until the one of tires blow up in Ocala on I75. The tires that can handle the weight cost me $1,468.00. May be time for a class act
