Re: Raised then Nothing!
Yes, when your top section gets to the top, you will hear a harmless squealing sound. I'll skip to the lowering valve part to save time. Pull both your lpg and hydraulic pump covers and set aside....

Thoughts on size (length)
The 22' trailer with tow vehicle is about 40 feet long. Most of the sites I've seen are cut out to accommodate two cars and are about 40' long.

Re: Mileage
I get between 13 and 15 mpg with truck and trailer fully loaded. About the same when I'm in 4WD, about 250 miles to the tank.

Re: Nice Pics....a question?
Mine has the dinette/bed midway along the right side, and the couch/bed in front. I have cabinets up front, instead of the optional bunk bed. That's the basic floor plan I've seen for the '89 22'...

Good question, and Jack's reply is one aspect I hadn't thought of. I'm usually dry camped when I use my trailer battery for my pontoon. You could just throw your Frig onto LP while you're out fishing.

Probably the coldest weather I've camped in was last winter at Four Corners. Easily around 20 with a 20-30 mph wind chill. I was dry camped and fishing. The water lines froze up and stopped working...

The trailer tows fine in the snow. I don't go faster than 25, and just enjoy the drive. Just remember that the trailer ground clearance is less than your vehicle. In deep snow, it tows like a snow...

Yeah, it's not a crack. The previous owner cobbed on a solar panel and wired it to the battery. I've since cut off the wire, because the panel was trickle charger size. I picked up a 65 watt 4 panel...
