So very sorry to see your accident! Hope that you guys are OK! I have wondered about the grooved pavement. I have trouble with it without even pulling a trailer. My Jeep Grand Cherokee likes to follow the groves and it is hard to steer. I know the l…
Thanks for the information. The size of tire that I need is a 13 inch , 4 bolt rim. What about the tires that are sold in Wal-Mart? They say they are trailer tires and are mounted on the white rims. I wondered if they really are of good enough quali…
A option to trailer tires could also be a pick-up truck tire with four ply sidewall rating. They would offer you a larger variety to choose from.
Sounds like a great idea.
My only concern is, check with the rules of the campground first. I was in a state park in Wyoming that specified, NO dumping of water, grey or otherwise, that had ANY additive, (soaps, cleaners, etc.). They will fine you h…
Thanks for information. I live about 30 miles south of Ft. Collins, so good to hear what works localy. Didn't think of making my own tire covers. (the ones at rv shops are alittle pricey for what they are.) I have a huge piece of canvas that was use…
We've had good luck storing our trailer in Fort Collins, Colorado's dry climate by just rolling our bumper pull tires over 1x4 cedar boards and adding the wheel covers Linda made out of some old scrap canvas I got out of a dumpster (price was right!…
After putting new tires on a camper trailer, what is the best way to store the trailer to preserve the life of the tires? I have heard that they last longer if not in direct contact with the ground. The location that I store in has a decomposed gran…

On such a small trailer it probably would not matter,but why not use a light trailer tire.You must remember a trailer does sway back and forth more than a car which is why you are hearing about the sidewall.
Also when you get ready to sell…
I am looking for opinions about replacement tires for my trailer. Specificly trailer tires vs. regular vehicle tires. I keep getting told to NOT use car tires due to sidewall strength. My trailer is a 13 footer and will weight in, loaded, far less t…
Did you find a siding source? I just noticed you posted this several months ago. Check out www.themetalcompany.com It is in Arvada Colorado 80002 5509 Harlan Street.
Phone 303-423-4425 or 1-800-231-0401 I have not dealt with them, but located their…
Thanks for your response. The top of the trailer is whatever the original finish was. (From 1958) I probably could just use a rubbing compound and clean it up some. If it is the shiny, or dull, aluminum under there, do you think I could just wax it…
VK, I am new to the group and also was wanting to put something on the top of my camper trailer. It doesn't leak, has not roof vents or seams. I am interested in mostly a cosmetic solution. It is a 1958 Aristocrat LoLiner and a lot of people, taller…

Visually stunning. Excellent production value for a clip. Thanks!
This is a compilation of the TSOM (Third Saturday Of the Month) scooter rides I hosted for 8 years from 1999 to 2007. Hundreds of guys & 3 Girls. Thousands of miles, Millions of smiles.
I wanted to let everyone know that after CURRENT sold out of my "VINTAGE TRAVELS" Calendar for 2010, I CREATED A NEW ONE! It can be seen (and purchased) through ZAZZLE.com. Here is a quick link to find it: http://www.zazzle.com/vintage_travel_traile…
Becky, It is the Wave 3 and works great. I have the space to put a full 25lbs tank in the closet and it gives me about two weeks on low heat. We love to keep the camper going all winter for the spir of the moment camping. This thing makes it great f…
Little depressed right now, but you are certainly right.
Oh Pat, I'm so sorry. It looked great. But think how bad you'd feel if you'd BOUGHT it first THEN found out!
Thats too bad pat....does it really mean its been rebuilt all three times or does it show rebuilt when it changes hands and is sold or possibly just a way to register it to save money or hassel somehow...it might be an opportunity to haggle 'em down…
Does anyone know of any RV salvage yards in the Dallas,Tx. area? I need a few parts for my home. Thanks, Ed
