Also, the published pin weight of the trailer isn't the real, loaded pin weight. You either have to load your trailer and take it to the scales or you have to calculate the loaded pin weight. 23%...

Welcome aboard! You’re asking the right questions but won’t like the answer.

Tow capacity or rear axle rating isn’t really going to tell you whether your truck can handle that trailer. The...

Sounds like you found the thermistor. Bypassing to test the fans is a good idea. If the fans are indeed dead then just replace them with a new set and a new thermistor.

The idea is to help move...

I think if you're on your phone or a tablet, especially with Android or IOS, then the side banner ads can sometimes overlay onto the thread content. I've had that happen. And yes, it's irritating. ...

Your RAM should have a placard inside the driver door similar to mine. You can see that mine shows "Combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 5462 lbs". That's my payload rating. ...

Is the wind (or was the wind) blowing hard on the side of the trailer that is leaking? Wind-driven rain can find its way into places that just falling rain can't. Also, do you see any signs of...

Make sure to use the correct sealant. Whatever you do, DON'T use silicone. Dicor will come back up with a little effort without ruining your roof material.

You should also do as Daryles suggest...

I don't have a definitive answer but I'd try to MacGyver it as a temporary fix. I'd be tempted to get a foam pool noodle and cut it lengthwise so that it is a tight fit to wedge under the cover on...

I had to replace that black aluminum rear trim on ours for a similar reason. You'll likely find that the OEM piece is longer than 8' and is bent over onto the roof edge. I could not find a piece...
