One thing on the video. He is talking about a Surveyor 25 FKS. Something Forest River does not list on their web site anymore. Maybe an older model. So their current 25 FKS may have totally different specs. I does always concern me when the "ASSUMED DRY" tongue weight listed is so far above 10% of the dry weight. And even above 10% of the dry weight plus CCC. Makes me wonder about the balance of the trailer. Usually only see something like that on toyhaulers.

I think he may be referring to the FR MicroLite 25FKS....

Yes that is the current model with that number. Didn't look when the video was made but he definitely said Surveyor and they did make a 250 FKS in the Surveyor line in 2020. Either way that number of 724 for tongue weight is suspicious.

When we travel and I point out all the kooky truck/trailer combos that are on the road I get reminded each time, You're the only one who cares Bri! :) Nice to see some others do as well.

Firestone makes an airbag kit, also there is the Roadmaster Active Suspension which is sort of an auxiliary spring that gets stiffer the more it's compressed,
