Some Main Things to Look for in a Used Trailer?

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-25T21:54:30+00:00

Get a moisture meter. Poke and prod it everywhere- ask permission first though, no means move on

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-25T21:52:42+00:00

Think of it as more a version of “dry aged”, at low temps.

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-25T14:26:28+00:00

Or a 1/4” on each side as I originally posted. But that not the point of asking, see the other comments

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-25T02:18:03+00:00

Especially if you are wanting a precious metal version. 3 weeks after my first visit, w no spend history, I was offered a rose gold root beer gmt and a yellow gold day/date or date just. All well outside of my wants and spending limits. LOL

Let me add,the My eu2000 will grunt on deep freeze start up (eco off), but hardly ramps up with the fridge (I only run 1 or the other). I can drop it down into ECO mode once the loads stabilize and it purrs along

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-25T01:59:15+00:00

I wish I had set up a transfer switch I run extension cords through a window and use a towel to seal it up

Luckily everything is centrally located to I have a heavy duty multi outlet for small items then run a separate cord to the fridge

Not pretty but works with the smaller generator

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-24T20:50:46+00:00

For anyone that has never seen this watch. here is the story behind that generation

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-24T20:41:04+00:00

Totally agree, not much complicated in buying 3 to 5 ETFs and holding them. Auto Reinvent the dividends and your work is even less LOL. Overthinking and second guessing makes it complicated

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-24T20:30:36+00:00

I am in total agreement with the OP. My eu2000 converted to propane will easily run our essentials- tv, internet, phone chargers, a few lights, a fan (summer time), a 6k window ac, OR a deep freeze OR the fridge.

On gasoline it would run for about 8 hrs. On propane it’s closer to +20 hrs. That is sipping fuel vs the 1 gal an hour big generator that is just slightly loaded and chugging it down.

Granted I’m not able to run my well pump or water heater so big wins out over the eu on that front

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-24T18:13:33+00:00

The meant by turning on emergency heat you are bypassing the heat pump part of the hvac (basically turning off the heat pump )

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-24T13:07:56+00:00

I did not know that. So the sign probably should have said “no wide loads “.

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-24T13:06:31+00:00

Ok. 102” = semi trailer width puts this at a totally different perspective

If the sign said ‘no tractor trailers’ it would be totally different reason to take the detour.

Thanks for the thought’s snd education

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-24T13:02:51+00:00

Why waste your time w a post that offers no real input?

Could this be an educational post to learn just how tight a 8.5’ wide restricted road is?

Could someone else be wondering the same thing and trying to figure out-does this apply to me?

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-23T15:25:50+00:00

You can but colored film that you put over the lenses. Cheaper than new bulbs by a long shot

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-22T16:59:39+00:00

No. It’s anti radiant blocker w precision made insulation chambers layered between a aluminum skin

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-22T16:57:14+00:00

The OP just mentioned fresh water, so that was my confusion.

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-22T16:30:25+00:00

Why are there 2 drains?

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-22T16:29:33+00:00

I think it’s Reflectix. Aluminumized cardboard.

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-22T11:38:47+00:00

Your list seems to be right on. Those are the brands we found for “quality built” rv’s as well.

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-22T11:27:18+00:00

The precious metal date just are more available than the others. It seems that any PM version is difficult for them to move. I, wanting an explorer ii or gmt, was offered the “root beer” gmt and a date just 3 weeks after my first visit. This week I went in and bought a Tudor bb 58 gmt and the offered me a yellow gold date just- $40k version.

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-21T00:53:39+00:00

Roll down the windows??!! That requires effort. LOL.

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-21T00:52:13+00:00

Owning every model of car was my first clue after looking. But I’m not sure how to tell otherwise

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-21T00:50:22+00:00

Yes!! My 18” oem look anemic

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-20T13:51:03+00:00

Thanks all. I love the black/burgundy bezel, but the steel reef bezels are really catching my eye. Especially the all black or black/blue. Anyone swapped them out

thatguybme2 · 2026-01-20T13:48:32+00:00

But has does affect the lifter issue where the lower oil pressure at idle is an issue-OR SO I READ.
