Amazing tow trailers

I can't imagine someone who isn't a "handyman - or woman) owning one of these! I've fixed more piddily stuff on this $100k van than I ever did on anything else I owned. But I wouldn't trade it. I think I put more value in the AS than I should - I'm sure the tow trailers are amazing.

Right now just setting under the awning at a folding Coleman table, working on Q4 projections. I can't imagine a better office anywhere in the world!

Sweet tea, sunshine, birds chirping - why didn't I do this 5 years ago?
Yes the tow trailers I've Owned (two), have been amazing with the amount of repairs needed. A classic and flying cloud. For the money,they are not the most trouble free. That said,the FC was the most comfortable rv I've owned. The work done by northwest adventures in Portland,Or was well done and professional.

No LEDs on Mercedes Sprinter

You have it right for all the lights on the exterior of vehicle. The Sprinter computer will warn you when a light is out. There are LED bulbs available for Sprinter that have a resistor built in to assembly to draw the same current as an incandescent bulb.

But I didn't think this would apply to the trailer plug. Oh well live an lean.

The resister "Error-Free" LED for the rear License plate still gave me an error. The foot lights in the bottom of the doors flickered so I removed them. The only ones that didn't give me trouble were the dome and map lights. I haven't tried the turn signal lights yet.
