This is when you take your backup card and look one more time for car top rails and baskets! Dad even has a front steel platform for his 4-Runner that has a little sink, a fish bait cutting board, pvc pipes to hold rods/reels and finally a place for a cooler and bait bucket!!! Edit: PS... the "Fish-mobile" is legendary!
Exactly. That’s why the frames on the 400, for example, say that you should not use hitch extenders at all. The problem may not be as acute with the 320, which has a lower tongue weight. But I’d still be very leery about using an extended mount on something like a 4 Runner, which has only a 500 pound static tongue weight…
Slip7: Not too long ago I printed off from this forum a multi page post of "T@B Trailer Walk Through List." It was well done and very comprehensive. Sorry, I do not remember who posted it. I'll search for it and let you know if I find it. Good luck. Gary, Rockford, IL. 2015 Max-S, Tv- 2016 Toyota 4 Runner.
Sunny2WS, I am new to this forum but have owned my 2008 Thor Dutchman since new. I used to drive a 2000 Honda Odyssey until recently. I now own a 2004 Toyota 4 Runner and use it to tow the T@B. It has a V6 with decent gas mileage and can tow the T@B with no problem. I also can carry quite a bit of extra stuff. I would…
The 2021 T@B400 is spec'd by NuCamp at 372 lbs wet. I've scaled mine at 400 lbs fully loaded for travel with an empty fresh water tank...which actually increases the tongue weight by a little (compared to a full fresh water tank). So 500 lbs is overstating it and 300 lbs is understating it. A Tacoma however can definitely…
Ikc001 Read your post about front jack wheels. Last your I went to Farm and Fleet in northern Illinois(southern Wisconsin) and purchased two softer 6in wheels and a long bolt. I put one on each side of the hard plastic wheel. Our camper moves a lot easier, even on grass. The wheels are out there, most farm supply stores…
Thanks MuttonChops..... awesome link. I have found with my TAB 400 at the proper level, which is ever so slightly tongue up, I weigh in at 3100 pounds with full water tank I have a tongue weight of 420 pounds and that is 13.9% tongue weight/ total weight ration, which is excellent. I have a Toyota 4 runner and when the…
I have tried many variations and am super happy with these - 4 x Wolf Pack - by Front Runner, 2 with the high lid option. Totally waterproof and strong. The bottom boxes are mounted with mending plates to the platform so the straps are just to hold the tops in place. The best combination of storage I could come up with ;…
Most tire shops will not work on trailer brakes. Trailer shops are a better bet. They will have the parts and knowledge to make these repairs. An RV dealer is the other logical choice for service. A broken drum and smoking wheel points to a locked wheel. A wheel would lock if the breakaway engaged...what might happen if…
Trailer Drag is another good topic...We have pulled the TAB, T@G, 20ft Avion restored, other teardrops, Vintage 40s restored, Canned Ham etc. Weird but we got the same mileage or +/_ or two MPG with Toyota 4 Runner . Usually 14 all around. With the MAZDA CX9 we got the same mileage on the TAB and T@g. Insulation.. The…
