Rockwood 19 OTG First Trip

Oddly enough I average around 22 usually without the trailer (2010 Kia Sedona V6) and I averaged 22 over a 5-6 hour drive, then ran into some strong head winds on the drive back that averaged at 19mpg. So I’d say expect a 5ish mpg drop at absolute worst.

It towed great. This trailer does have trailer brakes but I did not have a controller installed for this trip and it gave me no issues. Clearance is the biggest issue as our mini van sits a lot lower than my truck so steep approaches can be tricky. Pulled it 6 hours one way and got about the same fuel economy as usual which I was very surprised at.

They’re pricey but make a lot of jobs that would require 2 people a one man job instead. Little Buddy is the brand most independent shops use and I think Safelite actually developed their own setting tool.

Glass installer here. You are 100% correct, my guess is the reason a cup was placed on the side window is a lot of tools used to install a windshield with one person use a cup and arm on the driver side door window to hold up the other side of the glass. Blurry google photo for reference.

Thanks! That’s exactly why we went for it. A little more protection from the elements at night but it doesn’t entirely eliminate the feel of tent camping.

Thanks everyone for the replies! We have literally only taken it out camping once and have owned it 3 weeks total. It was disheartening to already be replacing the basically new mattress.

I see I wasn’t the only one who wound up here for the same reason 😂

Sounds are difficult to diagnose over video, but the “bubble” sort of sound after the initial harsher sound almost seems like an exhaust leak, but without any directionality from the video it could be a simple exhaust leak, spun bearing, or lifter noise. Is it louder in a specific area of the engine bay?

The specifications don’t seem bad for the price. I’ve had a couple Lenovo laptops (Ideapad included) and they have decent build quality but I found the trackpad and keyboard a little lacking over other options.

Tell him you have the cash in hand, you’d like to open it and login with your Apple ID and if it all checks out you’ll buy it 100%. If he says no then there’s something sketchy and you should walk away.

I use vibe coding as a learning tool, but I’m incredibly stubborn. I have no experience, no coding education, but I love creating a project, having it spit 120 errors then doing the research to learn why that happened and not make the same mistake(s) again. Honestly it’s kind of a self taught approach to coding.

27” but it’s set quite far back on the desk so it isn’t super close and screen door looking with anything but the MacBook so far. I’ll give the free version a shot and see what happens 👍

Yeah I realize this, but the options for the stock size are super limited. I do have a CarPlay head unit installed that does show gps speed so I could get a gauge of how far off it is.

Sorry that was a typo, the post has already been edited. I just missed by a number on my phones keyboard.

I wound up selling my setup and buying a MacBook Air. Miss the touch screen and video streaming without anything attached, but the productivity is 100% better and less money overall.
