My question is " if I only spool out only 30 to 40ft as mention in the above post & use extensions I would get more pulling power w\o...

I mounted mine on the spare tire of my trailer & it rides nicely, serves the wife & I well. It's well design with many compartment's for all kinds of...

    Tent Bed Options for Sleeping Together

    my RTT I trashed the original 2" mattress. It was horrible to sleep on. After some research & suggestion from a few members over @ American Adventurist we went with Exped Duo 10 queen xl xw self inflating mattress. This mattress is like sleeping on our home tempurpedic mattress. What I like...

    New Zodi 9180 tent heater

    they are nice. I like the Zodi products myself. I have their hot shower system which I converted to 12v instead of being factory 6v. I looked for many years for what you have because it would work well for the RTT but with no luck. I ended up settling with a more expensive heating system...
