Thanks for the suggestion Donna.

Maybe I could add something like my email address;
Grampasteve9@gmail.com. Or my phone 560-724-6365

But… that’s probably illegal .

Sale suggestion

If you end up selling it yourself, consider selling your truck with it. For some people without a truck, finding a complete camping rig would be attractive.

Used Casita furnace

Hi Dub, I have a used furnace that I am willing to sell. One significant issue is that I live in Northern Pennsylvania so shipping cost will be high although I don’t know exactly how much.

Tongue weight?

Leaving two propane tanks off the tongue will reduce the tongue weight. If the tongue weight is too low, your trailer may sway.

Reinforcement

If you load up the tongue as in post #2, I would suggest you reinforce the frame under the front of the trailer. That is assuming your tow vehicle can handle the weight on the hitch.
