Tow like a grandma? You mean... Not 25mph over the limit like you?

Trailer tires are like underwear and brake pads, everyone has a preference. Definitely stick to radials and be diligent about pressure and time in service. When I bought my triple axle encloserd I added a pressure monitoring dealie on Jerry's recommendation and love it. Changing tires on that beast fully loaded doesn't look like a good time...

I would never pull a trailer without a monitoring system. For less than $300.00 for four wheels. I run six of these on the rv and four on the race car trailer. These also monitor heat so if a bearing is failing you will know about it before it welds itself to the spindle.

Well the range must be decent on that thing if it reaches the front of your RV. No line amps or other trickery to get it to go that far? Last I was looking at a wireless backup cam for the trailer range was an issue getting all the way to the front of the tow pig.

The kit comes with a repeater.

On my 40ft enclosed, for $30 off ebay, I bought a cheap camera and a 50ft RCA video cable. My Excursion already has an aftermarket double din 7 in DVD touchscreen stereo unit installed and also a backup camera on the license plate mount. When I am towing with this trailer, I just unhook the vehicle backup camera at the rear bumper and plug in the trailer camera. Camera is powered by the interior dome lights. Wasnt too difficult. Easy, cheap, and works great. I can drive full time with the trailer camera video output on the stereo screen up front, and let the kids watch the overhead DVD and sound in the back. I looked at wireless cameras, but Im a cheap bastard.

That's awesome. I have some serious nerding out to do to figure out whatever my setup will be (if I get around to it). Most of the crap I see is all proprietary.

I'm lazy, don't like the idea of cords. Especially with my 4 foot hitch extension, just one more thing to add to my asspain of hooking up the rig.
