You can't leave us hanging like that. Please tell us the "user error" story.22ft 'toon. Also the reason i need a new bumper w/ 700mi on the dial. User error.
Same
I have found on our trailer that I need the full fresh water tank to get the tongue weight where I need it. It will cost you about ten bucks to get your rig weighed at a certified truck scale, but well worth the money and gives you peace of mind.
Yeah, you need to know where your tanks are and how their fill level affects trailer balance and tongue weight.
Apparently the hitch wasn't fully seated, it looked like it was all the way down and locked, but apparently not. I was coming down a steep hill and I heard a "Thunk" then BAM as it rear ended my bumper. Thankfully the chains kept it attached and I didn't send a pontoon through someones house. Definitely will not make that mistake again. I have a Fab Fours bumper that will replace the stock one.
Glad nothing bad happened other than needing a new bumper. Thanks for posting as this is a good lesson for all of us that tow a trailer.
You win.....Towing my excavator, 7.6 ton in total
@PowerstrokeNC Nice trailer! That is what I'm looking for. Can you post details here?
It is actually my brother's trailer I am borrowing it to move some stuff. 7 x 14 covered wagon brand. It is right around 1800/2000lbs unladen if not mistaken.
