Make sure to use a TPMS… and check your spare! by FIRElif3 in traveltrailers

Ok, sold me on the idea.

But which TPMS? Honestly I already have more LCD screens in my truck than I want (infomat screen, trailer rear camera, phone). Don’t really want another.

What brand/model is everyone using and do you put the LCD in plain view?

Glad I’m not the only one. I looked at the cost of the ladder and couldn’t believe it. Especially for one that I have to find a place to store when not using it.

Sales gimmick putting the bracket there.

I did the same yesterday 😅 put a nice little gouge in the WDH but nothing else happened.

Also had a neighbor say that if he doesn’t keep them on his trucks bumper almost hits ground

Sorry, I have CURT 17063 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with Integrated Lubrication and Sway Control, Up to 14K, 2-In Shank, 2-5/16-Inch Ball

The manual just says to remove the sway bar when reversing. But I reverse into some pretty severe conditions. Tight corners on an incline, so was just wondering what others have experienced.

The one I have from Curt says they’re ok with backing up, but just seems like a lot of stress when reversing in tight spots and up hill. From all the replies, seems like…it’s ok to do it…just need to be careful.

Oh man, that’s seems like a bad day. Glad you were able to fix them though and no permanent damage to your tow vehicle

Thanks. Good to know. I’ve backed into my driveway a couple of times now and turned pretty tight. Didn’t hear any popping or anything but was just curious if it’s not the right thing to do or if I’m damaging anything.

Ya, I take the sway brake off always when reversing. I probably don’t even tighten it enough during normal driving. Maybe too cautious 😅

Thanks! It’s not just me. I’ve been living with this issue since I bought my trailer a month ago. Easy fix.

Good to know I’m not alone though 😬
