How do I get the trailer’s running lights and turn signals to work at the same time?

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 13:46:37 +0000

I just finished wiring a trailer and put a new plug on the truck. Everything works except when I try to turn the signals on while the running lights are on. The signals even work when the brake lights are on but not the running lights. Any ideas?

If it is wired correctly( which it doesn’t sound like it is) then the ground is not sufficient. Try using separate ground wires to each tail light rather than a common ground, just through the trailer frame.

How do I wire trailer lights on my 2009 Focus?

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 20:42:00 +0000

I will be buying a hitch and a 5′ x 8′ trailer for my 2009 Focus SES. I need a small trailer for moving random stuff (drywall, refrigerators, furniture, etc). I just need to know how I go about wiring up a plug for the trailer lights. Is there a kit? Do I have to tear the car apart? If anyone knows alot about this, please let me know. Thanx.

You have to splice them into your tail lights

How hard is it to pull a travel trailer?

admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 15:31:24 +0000

My husband and I have been considering buying a travel trailer. Is it really hard to pull one? Is it white-knuckle the whole time? I have seen a few flipped on their sides on the freeway. Living in So Cal with so much traffic and fast drivers, is the stress of pulling the trailer worth it?? I drive a new Suburban. Any suggestions to make it easier to pull?

If your truck and trailer combination is set up correctly, you won’t really know it’s back there. You have a good tow vehicle in the Suburban. You will just have to change your driving habits to compensate for the length and weight of the trailer added to the Suburban.

You will need more stopping distance and you will need to pay attention turning corners so your trailer does not climb the curb (or take out the front car in the left turn lane). To my knowledge, any trailer 19feet long or over must be equipped with it’s own braking system. Most of them use electric brakes that work in conjunction with the brakes on the tow vehicle. Even with the extra braking power, you will need to leave a minimum of 4-6 seconds between you and the vehicle in front of you.

I have driven LA traffic for the last 30+ years in a tractor/trailer. The key to surviving CA traffic is timing… either leave before the rush, or after it…. but being on the freeways during rush hour will not only fray your nerves, but is not conducive to good fuel economy. If you can’t get out of town before rush hour… pull out the grill and have a tailgate party until rush hour is over…. then go. It’s safer and you will still have fun in the process.

Good luck to you…

What are the advantages of living in a trailer?

admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 20:21:05 +0000

If you’ve lived in a trailer before could you tell me some of the advantages of it? Just some benefits. And what’s more, could you tell me if you were happy while living in a trailer? I always hear people talk down about them, but I see nothing wrong with them. So, if you’ve lived in one before, can you prove what people say wrong?

I’m living in one now, and its advantage is that it was cheaper than a conventional house. With a conventional house on it, the lovely piece of land I have would have been out of my price range. Other than that, the trailer is just a place to live.

How should I go about going to NYC in a van with a trailer?

admin — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 02:20:35 +0000

I am in a touring band and we are going to go to New York City. It would be impossible to drive the van around with the trailer attached; no parking. We unfortunately don’t know anyone around to store the trailer with. Is there any sort of parking garage or storage place around where we could just store the trailer or both the trailer and the van? Or maybe any other suggestions?

Woof, that’s a tough one… first of all, try to drive into New York City at off-peak non-rush-hour times of day, because, with a trailer, you’ll need lots of room, and at off-peak hours, or even after midnight, there’s a LOT less traffic on the streets.

That having been said, finding parking for the van AND the trailer together will be tough. The link below is to a guy who advertises parking and vehicle storage by the month, but, maybe if you contact him you can work out something for a few days, or, what the heck, rent for a month and just don’t use all of it.

Good luck, and, the 2nd link is to the "Parking & Storage" page on the NYC CraigsList, so maybe contact a few folks there and see what you can arrange?…

How much is space rental for a travel trailer or motor home?

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 09:23:48 +0000

I’m thinking about retirement in a few years and I may buy a travel trailer and tour the United States. How much does it cost to park a travel trailer at campgrounds or other locations for a day, week, or month? I’m sure it probably varies depending upon how popular and how nice a location is, so I’m just looking for some general ideas. Do those prices include electricity, water, sewage? And if you’re retired and living this way do you enjoy it?

Most space rents cover electric, water and sewer.

If you join a RV club the rates in the better parks is cheaper.

Travel with the againist the seasons for lower rates.

Or follow the sun, learn how to get part time park jobs, part of your pay is free space.

No rent.

There are good books out there on RV living… I suggest you get them, try Amazon.com–

My dh and RVed for almost a year. Toured parts of the US , made friends, moved on. Very enjoyable, but you must like living in small spaces, and also, have very little with you.

You are doing the right thing in researching now.

Good luck and enjoy.
