Re: Does Four Wheel Drive Matter?

I tow my 16" FunFinder with a 2008 V8 Explorer 4X4. Being from the mountains of PA the 4 wheel drive is invaluable in the snow. If I lived in FL I would have second thoughts about a 4X4. The 4 wheel...

While you may be able to stay within the towing weight limits with a larger trailer, that's not the whole story. The bigger the trailer, the less enjoyable and more expensive it is to tow. I have a...

I tow a 16 ft FunFinder through the hills of PA with my 2008 Explorer V8. In my opinion I would not want to tow anything bigger with the Explorer. If I decided to get a larger TT I would upgrade to...

Re: X214WSD

One thing that makes us different in the interior setup of our trailers is how we use them. Some people go camping, set up for two weeks at a campground and basically stay there, cooking all their...

My 2005 T160 FunFinder has only one thermostat that operates both 120 volt and LP. It appears you are not getting 120 volt power to the fridge so the first thing to check are the breakers to ensure...

Hi Chuck, Was down to the Great Smokies a couple of months ago. I have a 16 ft FunFinder but decided to take my smaller folding Aliner, since it is much easier to drag up and down the mountains. Came...

I use a PUR water filtering pitcher for drinking. Can purchase at most box stores for about $25.

Re: 2007 Funfinder 210

The only accurate method is weight. Pressure guages only tell you when the tank is about empty and you will know that real soon.

Here are the general weights for LP tanks.

With my Ford Explorer V8 I usually get 19-20 mpg not towing. Towing the 16 ft Funfinder I get a consistent 12.5 mpg through hilly country. I believe the larger engine just works at a lower stress...

From info I have found, most fridges for a FunFinder would utilize a 1000 btu/hr burner. Propane contains 21591 btu/lb. Assuming the burner was running at full capacity 21591/1000 = 21.6 hrs. ...

Re: Funfinder Quality

I too had an Aliner for several years, then moved up to a 16 ft Scamp, then a 16 ft FunFinder. I still miss my Aliner. The Aliner is light, easy to setup, so easy to tow, and I could see over it...

New to 160 X

Recently aquired 2005 160 X. I previously had a 16 ft Scamp. It was ok but the rounded corners removed a lot of cabinet space and I didn't care for the "rat fur" that lined the interior walls.
