Open Discussion Area / Tire wear
May 02, 2017, 12:04:26 PM
Just finished trip around Lake Erie with 21' Living Lite - so since March, 2016 purchase about 8,000 miles.... all 4 tires (Chinese made)Vail Sport ST  LH99 ST205/75D14  are showing excessive wear.... had a previous 18' double axle trailer and did a 10,630 mile trip and tires showed hardly any wear .... just contacted Lionshead (Cooper Tire) and will be filing a complaint... any others out there with noticeable excessive tire wear?   Backpackerdude

Don't forget to make sure the toilet water supply is properly drained.  The replacement part is over $40.  And, of course, the fine print in a brochure tells you to do this, but never had to do so with previous trailers.   Been there, didn't do that, got the T-shirt at a cost of over $40 !   Backpackerdude.

CampLite Travel Trailers / roof seal leakage
April 11, 2017, 12:52:38 PM
Put 5,0.00 miles on unit and had a 1 inch or so rain storm with 2016 21' trailer parked level.  In waste basket I had between bed and wall captured 4.5 inches of rainwater.  And, due to a small miracle floor below was not wet.  A local trailer repair guy says an aluminum roof can leak even with the best sealant if the aluminum roof is not properly cleaned before sealant is applied. Any others experiencing a similar problem?
