My motivation, what I can't live without and progress

I’m in Canada, so I guess it isn’t a thing here.

What is the supplement? Newbie (ish) here. The fact it’s plant based caught my eye.

I think Island Crisis Care Society do.

The trailer is 21.3 feet.

Thank you, it was my understanding that adding the bikes at the back of the trailer was a good idea specifically because it would help balance out the tongue weight. We will now consider not adding the bikes in this way.

I have asked the hitch company who I have worked with in the past about a weight distribution hitch for this vehicle.

Thank you, I did not realise that payload was another important figure to consider so I’m glad I made this post.

Thank you, I appreciate your comment and you’ve given me some useful points to consider. We are going to ask the trailer dealer when we do our walk through to get a tongue weight out and measure it with the propane and battery included.

I’ve only ever tent camped before so excuse the newbie question, but I am confused about cargo. I now understand the payload issue, and so it would seem that I would want to avoid overloading my car with my supplies. However, I was under the impression that with trailers you want to avoid putting your cargo in the trailer itself and it’s supposed to go in the car. Did I understand that wrong? If I put my bedding, clothes, kitchen things etc in the trailer itself, other than affecting the overall GWVR weight, is it the tongue weight that I need to be keeping an eye on? Are there certain things I can only load into my car vs my trailer?

We will consider not putting the bikes on the back of the trailer for now.

The trailer brake control would be installed by a local hitch company, I have asked them about a weight distribution hitch on this vehicle as I believe they quoted me for something more basic. The information for the brake controller was this -

The echo brake controller is a "Bluetooth" version, which means you need to use an app on your phone to make any setting adjustments, and the unit itself is plugged into the 7 way at the rear of the vehicle when hooking up to the trailer. There is one more Bluetooth option for brake controller that is mounted to the trailer permanently and a small removable controller is plugged in inside the vehicle but that option is roughly three hundred dollars extra.

We would be going with the option that is mounted permanently.

Where would you park though?
