  2. What travel trailer should I buy?

    We purchased the 2020 Springdale 1750RD Winterized version for a few reasons. Its just my wife and I so the queen upfront, full stand up bathroom, small propane/electric fridge, two burner stovetop and entire rear being a dinette with huge picture windows is a perfect size for us with...

  5. Look at my Ranger parked next to stuff

    My Ranger packed next to my trailer in the Laguna Mountains
  6. Would I be okay towing this RV?

    Oh yea, your new ranger will easily tow that trailer. I recommend the Ford brake controller for a couple of reasons including interfacing with the trucks "Emergency Braking System" so the contoller applies the trailer brakes if the system engages in an emergency. The other main reason is super...
  7. Would I be okay towing this RV?

    We experienced the same thing 1900rpm at 55mph and about 2400rpm uphill to stay at 55mph. It never struggled at all.
  8. Would I be okay towing this RV?

    Well we hit the local mountains about 50 miles east of San Diego going from 220ft ASL to 5000ft and the Ranger didn't miss a beat ?upgrade we were able to keep at 55mph (speed limit there) all of the time and didn't need to use the turn outs. Used the tow/haul when in the mountains and its...

  12. Would I be okay towing this RV?

    We had looked at larger heavier trailers before settling on our 21ft single axle. 3400 dry, 4000 a bit over 50% towing capacity loaded. Our Ranger yanks it around no problem, accelerating uphill on steep grades like a bat out of hell getting 13.7 avg towing so far. Hitting the mountains next...
  13. Lane Keep assist

    I don't use it, I figure since I've been driving for 47yrs without it and I'm still alive its more of a novelty than assistant
  14. Charging travel trailer battery

    That was my point, if the draw is too high you lose all power to the trailer including the TRAILER BRAKES!!!!
  15. Charging travel trailer battery

    Check the specs of the refrigerator and make sure the load/draw on trucks alternator/generator is not more than the output.
  16. Charging travel trailer battery

    The truck will not provide power until the 7 pin on the trailer is pushed into the truck which is why there is no power when you use a voltage tester. When the 7 pin goes in, the truck senses the connection and provides power to the trailer that charges the trailer battery and powers the trailer...
