Watch the GVW and axle weight on your camper. Most campers don't have much load capacity and tires are often the weakest link. If you tires on the camper are over 4 years old and you are running anywhere near weight limits put new tires on the camper before you make the trip. If you have never blown a tire on a trailer you can't begin to realize how much damage that can do to the camper. Be sure tire pressure is correct and check tires often while you are on the road. Try to travel early morning and evening as much as possible during the summer since roads are cooler. Heat builds quickly in tires and they don't like heat!

I always change tires on my cargo trailers ever 4 years regardless of what anyone says about them lasting 7 years. And even with new tires I have actually had two blowouts in the summer heat. The crazy thing was both times the trailers were almost completely empty?

I know the temptation is their to overload but you are better safe than sorry. If you are going to overload anything overload the U-Haul because they are built like tanks & also if you have a flat it is U-Hauls issue not your issue.

Glad to hear you are on new tires. People just don't realize how much damage blowing a tire can do to a camper or the contents inside. Drive safe & take your time! Getting their is more important than getting their quickly. Typically every time I stop I check heat in every tire just by putting my hand on each. From your comments it sounds like your garage unit is RV truck style like I have had in the past and not a trailer. Truck camper with garage is a lot more forgiving than a trailer since most use regular truck tires & not the "toy tires" they put on trailers these days.

First off there should be no reason for her to object to you having those set up in the garage area while you are living in the camper. After a few days in tight quarters she will realize it is nice to have you go hang out in the garage. And if you have them set up you can store a ton of stuff under them.

If you need the garage space for storage put the machines in such a way that you can store stuff behind them. Even if you can only get 3 of the 5 set up you should be able to make a ton of storage in that garage area and still have room to play 3 pins.

There should be room for rabbit cage & dog beds under the machines! But remind her she loves the dogs so they should really stay in the front of the rig so they don't get lonely. Ya got to be a salesman and you will be OK. Just remember to get the rig good and level before you start playing pinball!
