Trailer Tire Speed Ratings: Are You Towing Too Fast?
In this video I briefly dive into the all-too-often ignored or unknown topic of trailer tire speed ratings. Many who use trailers are unfortunately unaware that trailer tires have speed limits they can be safely operated it at, and often those ratings are low enough that many of us have unknowingly exceeded them while driving down a highway or interstate. Please check this out and give it some consideration for you own safety and the ones you love the most. I welcome anyone's questions, comments or feedback. Please feel free to leave them below.

Winterizing the Water Systems of a RV...It's Simple!
Просмотров 1034 года назад
Join me as I walk through the steps I take to winterize both the fresh and waste water systems of my own RV. These methods are almost universally applicable though each RV will be slightly different in their particular execution. It's not hard but it sure is important!
Really appreciate your videos! Wish you had more. We have a 2019 expedition and are picking up a used 2020 Heartland Wilderness 3125BH which is basically the same as this M312.
DID you tell us where to find the swpeed rating of the trailer tire?
Thank you!
The Goodyear endurance I have has a speed rating of N. This indicates a mX speed rating of 87mph. I'm trying to find out if it is safe to drive 80mph for a prolonged amount of time.
I have been running the OEM Castle Rock ST tires on our Coachman Apex. Right now, I have about 3500 mi towing on them. I don't roll any faster than 63 MPH and stay on top of tire pressure and loading. So far, no problems.
Wait, what?! If it has a 7 pin plug how do you back up and run it to hook up using a remote if it's not plugged in? Where does the power come from? I'm really confused by these Huskys 7 pin plug, I've been thinking that my power would go through that, from my truck, so I wouldn't be able to raise or lower my trailer unless I had it plugged into my truck and that would sure be a pain.
The 7 pin showed is the trailer's 7pin, the jack just has a support to keep it safe from elements. The jack ( I believe, you should check) comes with a single wire that goes to the positive terminal of the trailer battery.
Awesome information!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. My utility trailer start shaking above 65 mph and I didn't know why!! Thank you again.
swaying or shaking/vibrating?
Thank You for the great tips!
The pirate ship used to be the "moon walk" one of those giant blow up bounce houses, but after a while it was taken down due to the amount of duct tape holding it together, and the slide tower used to be a small castle, which before that was a slide tower that was larger back in the early 2000s
I remember coming here as a kid on weekends and when certain weekends were booked full my parents decided to become seasonal and for 7 years me and my sister made a lot of memories, now it seems it's a Jellystone park but it seems they've kept a lot of what made this park great
mine works good except when the battery was low and I tried to crank it manually. I had to use a breaker bar and was still very hard
I remember that resort. When I was little, I went to this camping resort on a school field trip a few years before we moved to Ohio in 2004.
Has your jack held up well?
It's been great. Flawless actually. Very much recommend it.
@@everythingrv2301 I actually just installed my yesterday, I absolutely love the remote for leveling. It’s a lot faster than the LCI I previously had.
Not just speed plays. If you’re doing 70 and it’s 100° out on asphalt, you’re tires are gonna heat up faster
It's hard for me to hear your good information over the music.
If you're towing a travel trailer at 70+mph, you have a death wish going on. There's a lot more to towing safely than tire speed ratings.
What Goodyear endurance tire has 81mph rating
I couldn't bear anything over the music
Cut the music and you have a great video.
When should we replace low mileage tires. They look great but are 4 years old, no cracks, but worry that I should replace at 4 or 5 years anyway
Thanks for watching! I can totally understand your concern. I would personally not run my tires past 5 years even if they appear to be in good condition. I just feel that peace of mind has a significant value to and would feel much more confident rolling down the interstate after changing them. It may be premature in some circumstances but it absolutely would be weighing on my mind until I just gave in and changed them anyway. Most campers are heavy. Let's face it, even 'ultralight' units like ours, are in most cases, multi-ton boxes following us down the road at high speed attached by a tiny pivot point. This truth only strengthens my resolve to have rock-solid confidence in my tires, and old tires just don't instill that confidence for me.
What temperature should the tires be?
Thanks for watching! In general, during the hot summer months my camper tires run anywhere from 105-130 degrees (F) depending on how fast we're going, surface temp and surprising it seems like, road material too. Truthfully, what I'm looking for is consistent (within a reasonable margin) temperatures across all trailer tires. A higher temp could indicate low inflation or other structural issues warranting further investigation. Also worthy of note. If you're towing a tandem or tri-axle trailer and both your tires on a given axle are hotter or cooler than the other axle(s) tires, it may indicate you're unevenly loaded front-back and you should consider re-distributing weight. Taking that further...if both or all tires on one side are hotter than the other side than it could indicate uneven side-to-side weight distribution. These are not hard and fast rules, just things to be aware of and to consider. I'm downright anal about my camper tires and want to do everything in my power to ensure a successful and safe trip.
@@everythingrv2301 thanks for the info, also how fast do you generally try to tow?
We find that our rig is comfortable a towing anywhere from 60-70 on highways that allow it. It varies significantly on road conditions, traffic and wind of course.
@@everythingrv2301 thank you for that question @Motohobo and answer I'm about purchase my first RV looking at a Toy Hauler 23pack15 and nervous because I plan on starting out pulling it with my 2017 GMC 1500 SLT which has the max tow package
Do you have a link for this extendable shower curtain? Trying to find the same one. Thanks!
Hello AJ! Thanks for watching. The addition of that shower rod made the shower much more comfortable for us. It's a Stromberg Carlson EXT-3542 Extend-A-Shower. We purchased it on Amazon but it's widely available on the web and RV dealers nationwide. Here's the link to the one available from Amazon: www.amazon.com/Stromberg-Carlson-EXT-3542-Extend-A-Shower-White/dp/B0031XXW4O/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3K92IMZ18PJNA&dchild=1&keywords=stromberg+carlson+extend-a-shower+shower+curtain+rod&qid=1593267397&sprefix=stromberg+carls%2Caps%2C222&sr=8-1
@@everythingrv2301 thank you! We just bought the same camper in this video
@@ajervin4264 That's fantastic! Congratulations and I know you're going to love it! Ours has proved to be a great fit for our family; spacious, easy to tow and comfortable for both short weekend getaways and longer vacations as well. I wish you the best and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Nice review!
Thank you and thanks for watching! We really do like this camper and it's a very good fit for our family.
We had blowout twice on our fifth wheel. After the second time we got a TPMS. Great videos!
Blowouts are absolutely no joke and can be very scary, not to mention damaging. A TPMS system is definitely in our future and I'll do a video about them too at that point. Thank you so much for your kind words! I have a long way to go and much to learn about making videos but I sure enjoy making them. Maybe you'd like to join our Facebook group...We'd love to have you aboard! facebook.com/groups/1056823158089685/
We’ve been wanting to go here for awhile now and just booked a weekend in July.
That's awesome! I think you'll really like it...there's a lot to keep the kiddos going and the staff was great. I hope you have a great time!
Jim until you mentioned this at work I never realized this. I don't have a camper, but I have several tool, utility, and equipment trailers and know I have exceeded the speed rating before.. PS I have had a blow out on my equipment trailer and it does a lot of damage. Thanks for the info.
My pleasure...I feel that so many are in the same situation...it's not widely known for some bizarre reason. Anyone who tows needs to know this!
New to your channel. Thanks for sharing this. May have to look into it. Stay safe and hope to see you around.
Thanks for watching! I'm pretty new a this all so it's really nice to hear some positive feedback! Be well and keep camping!
@@everythingrv2301 Monday our campgrounds open!! We will be there!!!
Has the jack held up well?
Modern technology! Where was this when i was hooking up my trailer solo? Sooo many license plates are going to be saved from this! 😂
How does your Expedition tow this big boy?
Thanks for watching! We have a 2017 Expedition and it tows the Mallard with ease. The GVW of the Mallard is 8600 and the Expy has a towing capacity of 9200 so we have a decent margin there even if we were traveled fully loaded. Power from the EcoBoost is effortless; we go down the interstate @ 65mph in 6th gear with no issues. On steep long interstate grades it may briefly drop down to 4th gear but rarely gets above 3500rpm. The brakes on Expeditions are quite large and have never showed any signs of decreased performance or fading; even after long down-hill descents. We certainly use 'Tow/Haul' mode when towing and it helps a lot with the shift patterns for both accelerating and downshifts to utilize engine braking when going down a hill. The integrated brake controller works wonderfully with the Mallard. The only spec that I wish I had more capacity on is the 920lb tongue weight limit that the Expedition has. I have a tongue scale and we usually run 800-850lb on the hitch. I'd like a little more room there, but that's just because I like to have a wider buffer zone on my specs. We use a Reese trunnion style WD hitch with Dual-Cam sway control (I hope to have video coming this spring) that keeps our rig level and all-but-eliminated any trailer sway. We love the Expedition for towing our Mallard; it has proven to be a solid and comfortable setup. Thanks for the question ; please let me know if you have any further questions or would like me to elaborate on anything else. Thanks again for watching.
Great job Jim Bonacci!
Thank you George! I'm not a natural, nor do I really know what to do with a camera, but I have fun.
