I am having the same issue on my 2018 Voltage--built in late 2017. I suspect it is related to heat. I store my trailer outdoors and that side faces south in So. Cal so it gets hot. I am thinking...

As a general rule if your trailer has a ladder on the side that provides roof access it can probably support your weight but I wouldn't totally rely on that. This might be one of the few areas that...

The fact that both grey tanks leak when full seems really strange as they are plumbed independently.

I did have a similar issue with my fresh water tanks--I have two in my Voltage, where they...

Yes, on the wall behind the batteries at the rear of the battery compartment. There is a bus bar with a few of those breakers mounted in it. I believe on the older trailers that bus bar is exposed...

Battery Charging Issue

They might’ve run multiple wires to the switch and one is loose or off. The fact the storage light doesn’t work is puzzling and shouldn’t be related.

Who knows?

Tow Vehicle for 300TQ

Lots of things to consider here. Personally, if you never plan on increasing to a larger trailer and there is plenty of capacity on a gasser I would go that route. Gas trucks are much less expensive...

Can you remove the bracket and bend it back then reinstall? Not the ideal fix but might work.

Safe bet the width with slides in is just shy of 8’6” as that is the maximum legal width. This would be based on the frame which is likely made by Lippert. Slide out width will vary based on your...
