The condition you describe suggests that the wiring to or on the trailer was not done correctly. In the towing vehicle there are two separate conductors [wires], left and right, going from the turn signal control switch, one to each of the vehicle's rear turn signal bulbs. When a vehicle is "wired" for trailer lighting, a connector plug pigtail is tapped into the vehicle's tail light, brake light, and turn signal electrical wires. The pigtailed connector plug kit usually contains a color coded schematic diagram indicating which wires on the plug pigtail are to be connected to the vehicle's lighting system, and for the trailer harness. From the connector plug at the front of the trailer tongue, there are separate wires going to the left and to the right turn signal lamps or filaments. There is one of two circumstances causing the error responsible for both turn signal bulbs on the trailer to flash at the same time: 1. The wires in the vehicle pigtail are both connected to the same turn signal wire at the rear of the towing vehicle, or 2. The two separate wires in the trailer wiring harness, or pigtail, are somehow interconnected. The correction for this is to have someone, who knows what he/she is doing, to troubleshoot the connections at the rear of the towing vehicle and in the trailer wiring harness, locate the cause of the interconnect, and properly remove the fault.
It's always best to get an additional "rider" on your auto insurance when towing a travel trailer, especially one that you don't own. If you do own such a trailer, you would already have insurance on it and would not need the "rider" attachment.
Contact the company that provides the coverage on the towing vehicle to get quotes for the travel trailer. Because of your existing policy, it will be easier for you to obtain additional coverage with a possible discount for multiple products.
False.
yes but to be sure just check the rating on the towing package
There is a signal meter built into the receiver. Just follow the instructions on the installation menu.
I do not know the towing capacity but I do know there is a lot of tongue weight associated with travel trailers. you might be ok towing a boat of this weight but I would be careful with this trailer.
you should never tow in overdrive. that will kill your transmission. tow in regular drive or 3
Need to know the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and the Tongue weight (TW). Gross trailer weight (GTW) is the weight of the trailer fully loaded in its actual towing condition. Tongue weight (TW) is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer coupler. The trailer must be fully loaded and level.
who makes the best travel trailer
No, not unless it has the optional towing package and the trailer is equipped with trailer brakes. Even then this is a stretch for this vehicle. I would not attempt to tow this much weight with this vehicle unless you are towing a very short distance. You need a transmission cooler for sure.
I don't know anything about towing trailers but the 2007 Ford F-150 owners manual shows : fuse # 106 - 30 amp maxi fuse - for trailer tow battery charge and relay # R05 - Full ISO relay - for trailer tow battery charge
Where is the VIN number on a travel trailer hi lo 1981
