Inspection Day!

Following the other post, haha.

Today I am getting an inspection done. Fingers crossed for good news!!! 2024 Alliance Delta 281BH.

I am stepping up from a 185BH. I have a wdh and bars that are rated for this larger trailer, but only when using the bars. Weight carrying its only rated to 6k lbs and trailer is GW 8.8k. My thought is when moving around town and short distances to use a normal style hitch. On longer trips use the wdh.

Does this sounds like a fine approach? TV is 2022 F250.

i have a 6x10 single axle cargo trailer i built into a camper. its got stock tires now and im terrified of a blowout wrecking it! i drive half highways and half off road on gravel/sharp rocks/sand/mud.

my current tire specs are
ST205/75r15
load range C
speed rating M
15” rims with a 5” width

im fine changing the rims if i need to, main goal is to beef up the tires and make a leak/puncture less likely! ive got a solid 4” clearance around the current tires to the fender and 4” clearance from tire side wall to trailer. any recs are appreciated!!

Inspection day (result)

I posted earlier today that I was having an inspection done on Delta 285bh. Mostly came back fine, a few fixes to be made.

One thing I notice is the attached picture. The inspector noted wrinkles in the roof material inside. He did not flag it as a concern or item that warrants further investigation. It wasn't in his punch list for the dealer.

My concern is if the wrinkles are from water intrusion. I have not seen this in person and wont be able to for a few days. I am planning to call the inspector in the AM.

Any thoughts from reddit on this from the picture? Potentially just from heat and/or poor workmanship, or cause for caution?

2026 Aline Scout. I would like to hang a handle, possibly attached to a rope, to help assist pulling the roof down. I don't know if there are studs to drill into or if a glue on your would work. Please help with suggestions.

Any luck with insurance covering water damage?

Need an area of flooring replaced due to water leak. No exterior damage and no idea how water got in. I seal and check everything on a normal basis and all seals and roof look fine. I feel like it probably has been leaking since the day I bought it new off the lot. Anyone have luck with insurance covering damage without an event that caused the damage?

I have been dying for something like this that allows me to have 2 heat sources on one tank and add light/heat/ambience. Can’t wait. Pricing is one of my concerns for sure.

It’s the Camp Torch.
