Picked up the rpod this week to get it ready for summer camping season. Made a few changes since last summer. Ended up going with a wireless brake controller, Curt Echo. Flipped the 2" drop trailer hitch to level out the trailer, and have some airlift bags on order to get rid of the squat.

I was fortunate enough to borrow a Forest River HW276 from a buddy. The sticker on the frame claims that it is 3188 lbs dry weight. It has been sitting at his farm under a tarp for a year and only used two or three times before that. Hope to get it set up to air out and clean her up for an off the grid fishing trip with my son next weekend. The picture sucks because it was a screen shot from a video my buddy sent to me.

Yes and when you get a phone call just as you are going to make a brake adjustment it gets interrupted. Me personally I wouldn't trust something so critical to wireless.
I've never had that problem. The system reverts to whatever you had it set for if it loses connection.

What make and model is that? Sold my Ram 2500 and moving from a great 29' Keystone Laredo 291TG w full outside kitchen to something new and am looking to see who is towing what with their Gladiator. We knew we were going to have to downsize, but finding something comparable isn't even close. Happy Camping and thanks for any info!!

Forest River Wildwood X-Lite 171RBXL 22' tongue to bumper. Great inexpensive little camper! 4000 pound dry.

Thanks wvyankee! That’s actually one of the models that we’re seriously considering

I restored a 1966 whaler. Sanded, ground out the crazing did barrier coat and redid/replaced the wooden furniture. Took a year working slow but I put the motor on this week. Splashed it today for the first time in a couple years. Hopefully it goes another 40-50 years before a rebuild again.

Used the beach trailer I will probably put it my lower trailer for real ramps. This thing needs a huge drop off to float it off. Backed up to the rear tires almost in the water the boat is out of the water a good bit. This trailer is good to drive down state beaches and through dune trails however.

Still need to see the graphics guy but he’s closed for Covid. Might just throw it on the mooring and get to him in the fall. Tows much better than my 6000# sailboat. But you can still feel every bump.
