We have a Timber Ridge 280RSK made by Outdoors RV. All the Outdoors RV models seem well built with a reinforced model specific off road chassis, true four season insulation and, 80 gallon fresh water and 3 40 gallon waste tanks. One thing that doesn't seem consistent in the industry are model designations. This trailer is a 280 with a body that has 28 feet of living space and bumper to hitch length of 34 feet. Our last trailer was a Kit Road Ranger 23YT and the body was 18 feet and overall length 23 feet. You never know how a trailer will tow until you try it out. Even though this trailer is 10 feet longer and 5000 pounds heavier than our old trailer, it tows about the same, sometimes better. Must have something to do with the rear kitchen weight putting the hitch to axle length quite long. The combined weight of the truck and trailer is 14,700 and the NHT with 6.2 and 3.73's pulls it just fine. Wind is the biggest problem.

I wondered about using spot free rinse, like for your dish washer, siphoned through the pressure washer..

Buy it and tell us how it works! I'm a little skeptical, but I've been wrong before! I use the "story pole" method. Park your truck on a level spot and mark front and rear references points on a stick. Hook up your trailer and adjust the hitch, a scale is the best way, and remark your stick with the new reference points. Using the stick you can tell at a glance when you hook the trailer or load the bed if any weight distribution has changed. It's surprising how putting a little weight in the bed changes things compared with how little filling my rear 80 gallon fresh water tank does.

If the truck has the original size tires on it and the spare is what came with the truck, yes.

I had the same lights on my 2011, turned out to be the steering angle sensor. I didn't have the shifter issues though.

I had a similar issue and LT E rated tires on the truck and shocks on the trailer seems to solved it.I

That is the head for an equalizer type hitch. The small ball is for the attachment of a friction type sway control. There should be two spring bars to go with it.

Even after modifying the tongue jack on my travel trailer with a removable crank handle, my tailgate only misses it by about an inch when dropped. Even if the Ram gate would open it would be against the gas bottles.

You'll love it! I have two reverse lights on my utility trailer and four LEDs under my travel trailer aimed off to the side and rear. It's the greatest when you come home late.

I'm sure it would move it OK, but if this is a one time deal, it may be easier and safer to have a RV dealer or tow company move it for you.

Towing in the Cascades, I have seen 230 a couple of times. My truck only has electric fans so unless the coolant temperature gets pretty high they never run. The transmission cooler pretty much relies ram air for cooling. No matter which way I go when I leave home it's up hill with temperatures in the high 90's, 100's quite common. I've never been to concerned about fluid temperatures, just give a little cool down idle time if it's been pulling hard.

I wired into the trailer plug harness.

Now if they would put a sticker on the door jam so you would know what you are buying.

Except for Denalis there are very few 6.2s and even fewer NHTs in the Northwest. Mine is the only NHT 2 wheel drive my dealer has ever sold and I had to sign my life away with a large nonrefundable deposit to get them to order it!
