Further, your idiot lights will go lower if you have something drawing power. You need to look at them only when everything is off (and not connected to shore power). And yes, to really know, you...

Depends on where you get your water from. Mine stays in it all summer. There is nothing inherent in the tank to degrade it.

There is something not right with your setup. I tow a 32ft Jayco with almost no sway ever. I brought it home when new in 45mph sidewinds, and barely noticed the winds. That's how it should be.

Outside radio

My trailer has outside speakers. I wish it didn't. Unless camped away from everybody else, playing music in a campground should be outlawed if it can be heard in the next campsite. I consider it...

I tried that app also. When I found that it wasn't accurate, I got rid of it. It's possible that it wasn't accurate because I have a case on my iphone, but then, who doesn't.

That's why I refuse to put any lights on my awning. DW is not happy about that, but I refuse to let my awning be held hostage by lights.

More than likely you are using the wrong charger. Any old charger will not do. It needs to be a "smart" charger. Google "smart charger". Get a good one.

I have a Grand Cherokee with a V8. It's a lousy tow vehicle even with just 3000 lbs of trailer. I predict that you will want a more suitable TV shortly after your purchase of a new trailer.
