Anyone towing with an EV? If so what does it do for your car's battery range? Also - if I understand correctly.. the alternator (ICE vehicle) charges the battery in the CI while driving. EV's don't have an alternator so the CI doesn't get charged while driving? Am I missing something here...

Before heading out on a short trip, a friend was checking the tail lights and noticed when the trailer was moving and as I applied the brakes it sounded like a stone was in the hubcap. The noise happened only when the brakes were applied. Took off the hubcap and nothing was there. Maybe the...

Hello Everyone, I've been wondering if I should replace my trailer tires. I have a 550 Ultra built in 2006 that I bought from a woman in 2020. (She bought it a few years earlier from the original owner.) This woman I bought it from only used the trailer one time and kept it in her garage. The...
