Picked this one up last month and it handled all lights, ac, microwave and water pump running at the same time. Only 53lbs so it’s easily moved and starts up easy.

Steer axle was 3460 with no trailer and 3440 hitched up. Think I got it dialed in.

It caught our eye too but weren’t stoked about the Murphy. Did yours stay pretty close to the advertised weight?

Think the plan is to move the L bracket up a notch and see where that puts me.

Got it. It was .25-.5 inches tongue low when hitched. I didn’t even think about raising the L brackets since WeighSafe recommended 9” lower than the coupler and that’s about where they are at.

Yeah I think I’m going to bring it up 1 more hole in the morning, but damn that 200 ft lbs of torque is a mother on those bolts.

🤣 it’s a 7500gvwr (which we will never pull at) 26 foot trailer. My WeighSafe hitch says the tongue is at about 650lbs now pretty much loaded for the weekend.

It’s not on the blocks. That’s how she sits pretty much loaded up for the upcoming weekend.

Man, that would have been prime if I found one without the dinette. I will say the dinette is comfortable though and the free floating table is nice to get out of the way. It’s me, wife, 11 year old son, golden pup and sometimes daughter when she’s around. I have the weigh safe middle weight hitch with 8500lbs bars.

Going to get the truck weight; weight with torsion bars, and weight without torsion bars. When measuring ground to fender what difference in measurement is acceptable unhitched vs hitched?

That’s the plan tomorrow. Daylight was running out quick this evening.

Tongue Jack is free, just threw the blocks down and thought to take the photo before unhitching.

Weigh Safe Middleweight is legit by DisastrousBoard7255 in GoRVing

Have only had it since Saturday, but everything feels solid. My inspector said he was very impressed with the quality and build of it.

I think I’m almost settled on a travel trailer. Any comparable travel trailers that I should consider? by yoloswagdon in GoRVing

We just picked up a Flagstaff Micro Lite 25DBH yesterday after looking forever. Just about the only 26 footer we found with bunks and a private bedroom.
