I have a 2013 F150 super crew, 5.5' box, V6 EcoBoost, automatic, pulling a Jayco Whitehawk MB20. This truck is a pullin' machine! More power than I could ever need. Takes off like a rabbit and pulls...

Yes, my hot water tank didn't have a drain fixture either...just a plastic pipe plug. I bought a barb fitting to replace the pipe plug, and installed a piece of clear hose on it. It's long enough...

What I did...

It's true the tubular rear bumper is thin and only tack-welded on to 2 very short, light bars bolted to the main frame. But evidently it's heavy enough to hold up the factory-mounted spare tire and...

Tips I've lesrned

Granted, not all parks will want you doing this (though maybe it'll help them get the hint to level their sites!) but it's amazing what just a little digging will do! Instead of going up higher on...

Thanks, everyone! I appreciate the info and the points of view! I have thought about the wanted-light v/s unwanted-light issues. I read another very amusing post from a member who solved both issues!...

Catmike, you mention a skylight....our 20MRB doesn't have one. Was it an option? Already installed? You have it installed? It is a little dark inside especially since we have the dark cherrywood.

I guess it's a personal preference thing :) I think the newer trailers look ungainly and unstable so high off the ground! And like a NASCAR, even my 4WD F150 pickup has an airdam under the front...

Lower trailer heigth

I love my 20MRB but like all new trailers, it's so bloody high off the ground! Compared to my old '75 Prowler....seems like a lot of extra wind resistance above AND below. Certainly way more ground...

Not always the aerator...

My buddy had this issue...low pressure at kitchen faucet, but bathroom and shower were fine. Got worse and worse until it was only a trickle. I found that under the faucet there is a little one-way...

I like it, I like it a lot!

Talkin' about my 2014 20MRB, of course! Had it a year now and just think it's great. The Murphy bed is the best idea since sliced bread. My buddy's got a 28' Tango and all the handling differences...

Another handy trick...if you're unhooking on an incline and worried about your trailer taking off before you can chock it, pull out your emergency breakaway cable! This will (should) lock up your...

X-chox!

X-Chox a big yes! I had to get the extra width one for my MB 21 because of the wider spaced tandem axles, but love them! Not only do they absolutely prevent any rolling, but because they don't even...
