Re: Adding a hitch to the rear of my trailer

Mine will be welded on.

Talked to a tug boat mechanic today who just finished rebuilding my jeep motor. He will design and build a new hitch in part exchange for remodeling his MIL's bathroom.

Re: Adding a hitch to the rear of my trailer

After spending half an hour searching that site and pulling my hair out, I didn't find anything of value.

:shock:

I'll keep looking

Re: Adding a hitch to the rear of my trailer

I've already checked, its legal in Texas, where I'd be doing this as long as I stay under 65 feet.

Adding a hitch to the rear of my trailer

I have a 2015 Launch 24RLS I have the need to tow a small box trailer on occasion behind our TT. Loaded weight would be less than 2000 pounds. We have been thinking about adding a bike rack when not towing the box trailer. Has anyone added such a hitch ? I know the bumper mounted ones aren't sturdy ...

Re: Battery replacement time

We have one battery. We don't need two as we have a Honda 3000 generator, and as Texans, burn as much petrochemicals as we can. Some days I think about adding another, but the urge passes.

Re: Picked up my 19BHS!

Glad to hear you're happy with your new TT. We went with a typical 'household' mattress and made the bed frame a little bigger. The queen mattress was on the yearly just-about-to-close-down-for-the-season sale in Delaware for a mere $300, no tax. It's the right firmness, and we can use regular linen...

Re: Battery replacement time

When my factory supplied battery died I researched batteries to the extreme. Regular, deep cycle, marine, wet cell, dry cell, blah blah blah.

Long story short - I bought myself a typical, old school, 12 volt, deep cycle Interstate (my favorite) battery and plopped it in.

Re: Added 120 VAC outlet above sink

Nice work Dave.

I am thinking about adding a new outdoor outlet on its own circuit with an associated outlet on the inside for the space heater.
