I agree sounds like the water tank supports. Assuming you have some water in your tank, try pushing up on the fabric to see if you can feel a tank underneath. If you feel something hard under the...

What did you use to remove the decals?
On our trailer, the red and silver decals still look fairly good, but the orange one are faded and pealing.
Has anyone found replacement "swooshes"?

I have experimented with rear mount bike racks for some time. I am now of the opinion that mounting a bike rack in any manner on the back of most campers risks damaging both the bikes and the camper.

extra outlets
This post also motivated me to finally add an outlet in the counter top area, mostly to plug in additional lighting.
There are 5 - 120 volt circuits in our camper, but only one is protected by a GFI...

Outlet
Marti,
The outlet in the cabinet above the sink is likely for a microwave oven. Electrical codes often specify a microwave must be on a separate circuit, which may be why it only has one outlet...

As you can see by our signature, we tow with a Silverado 1500 with 3.42 gears. Our camper is smaller than what you are looking at. It pulls pretty well on the flatlands and in good conditions, but...

hitch
Hi,
I see you tow with a pickup. You may want to consider using a long enough hitch shank so you can open your tailgate without bashing into the trailer jack. Anderson may have a variety of...

Hi again,
You do not need to have water in your fresh water tank to run your water heater if you have water coming into the system from the hose.
When we are camping, we will use the "city...

Sway
We have an Equal-I-Zer hitch and like it. It is a little more expensive but it is American made which we think is important.

long trailer - another factor
RDSR6,
I have not pulled a trailer of that length, but I have been told that longer trailers are more subject to sway than shorter ones, especially with a side wind.

We carry the generator and gas cans in the back of the pickup, so no issue with fumes. I note our Honda EU2000i generator does have a manual shut off valve on the gas cap to limit gas spills...

If you do pull the new camper with the 2014 gas Ram, please post how the mileage compared to pulling your smaller trailer with that same truck.
Thanks,

hitches

I am not an expert, but I would do some checking before buying a hitch rated at 10,000/750. for your application. There are some downsides to such a stiff hitch on a lighter trailer, which...

On many campers, if the grey tank gets full, the overflow goes into the bathtub. Will this happen with the black and grey tanks connected together?
