2014 White Hawk Interior Pic
Oh how I wish they would put the entertainment center elsewhere. Having a short queen and the entertainment center jammed against the end of the bed was a deal breaker for 6' me, and one if the...

Vent covers
I just installed a Camco cover a few weeks ago. Haven't had the trailer out since. But it seemed well made and installed without issues. For the price I think I'll be happy with it.

Fwiw, I called AAA today and was told the agent was unaware of any restrictions on covering a travel trailer as long as it was for personal use and not commercial use.

Towing question
How do your payload figures look? A 7500 lb dry trailer that'll probably end up north of 8500 lbs loaded will be putting 850 - 1275 lbs on the hitch. Most F150s (and most half tons) have 1200-1600...

Commercial RV hauling
Great thread, love reading it. I am surprised that you use a wd hitch. I figured they wouldn't want the a frames marred during transit. Is that common practice?

Whitehawk 27DSRL opinions and experiences
We looked at a white hawk 26dsrb and the jay flight we ended up choosing. So different floorplan, but here are some things we didn't like about the white hawk line as much as the jay flight line:

I have one of those flexible inspection cameras that might work for peering in the ducts to see what's in there. I think it was around $130 at Home Depot, and has been useful for other stuff around...

Towing a 2013 White Hawk 28DSBH
Looks like the 2005 model had the 3 valve 5.4 with 300 hp and 365 ft lbs. you should be ok as long as you don't expect blistering performance. I'd hesitate if you had the older 2 valve.
If it...

WDH Question - Err on High or Low End?
Agree, error on the high side. If you go to low, you might not be able to transfer as much weight as you need to the front axles, and your sway control might not work well enough. Fwiw, I went with a...
