11/8/2023 0 Comments Time out trailer reviews![]() ![]() I carry my extra clothing in two dry sacks which I bungie cord to the legs at the front of the trailer that support the floor when it is set up for camping. I have always had people come over to look at my trailer after I get it set up, they are always amazed at the interior space available. If you decide to forgo the electric brakes at the time of purchase just be advised that all the Time Out Camping trailers come equipped with the flange behind the wheel spindle and in front of the torsion arm that will allow you to upgrade to electric brakes in the future. I have been pleased with my choice, just would have added the electric brakes. I have traveled to both coasts at least once and a lot of points in between. I will carry at least one extra gallon of fuel if I'm heading out west where the stations seem to be much further apart. I travel mainly back roads, normally cruise at no more than sixty mph and my MPH with my F3-T drops from 34 to around thirty mpg. Seam seal the roof seams annually after the first year and clean and repack the wheel bearings at the beginning of each season and you wont have to be concerned about the 8" wheels turning twice as fast as your indicated ground speed. I find that with a small electric fan to move air around inside the tent you can remain comfortable up to the mid 80's. The newer replacements that have built in air pumps are almost too high to work, they put you a lot nearer the ceiling and partially block the side and end window screening, still functional but will decrease the total screening available for air flow. The queen sized air bed that comes with them works well. The reverse of taking it down is about a 20 minute procedure, and the inside will definitely get wet. The comments made about set up time are incorrect, this can be set up while keeping the contents almost dry in under three minutes. This along with the recent advent of bluetooth connected electric brake controllers will give you much greater ability to stop quickly in an emergency braking situation. I would suggest that you avail yourself of the electric brakes that are an option. For stopping you will encounter marked increases in stopping distances. Starting up from a stop you are aware that it's behind you, once underway you won't be bothered by it being behind you. The net weight is I believe 360#s, which is almost 40% of your tow vehicle. My thoughts, yours may be different I have had mine for five years, towed it around 20,000 miles ( conservative estimate). I have the exact same trailer that you are considering for purchase. ![]()
