A: GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the total weight capacity of the trailer, including the actual weight of the trailer and its max payload. Payload is the amount of weight that can be carried on the trailer -- calculated by GVWR less the actual weight of the empty trailer
A: Keeping up with inspection, maintenance and service assure reliable performance from your Bullston trailer. FOR MORE INFO CONSULT YOUR BULLSTON DEALER OR consult your owner’s manual
A: The best way to care for the finish on your trailer is to keep it clean both inside and out. Road chemicals, tree sap, environmental pollution and animal waste can be very harmful to your trailer. Frequent washing is one of the best ways to prolong the life of your trailer. Most products suitable for automotive finishes will work well on the exterior of your trailer, although you should observe extreme caution when using automotive “cleaner” waxes or polishing compounds as the abrasives contained in these products can damage the baked on finish of your trailer. Standard automotive waxes applied to the painted surfaces of your trailer can provide protection to the finish against staining and discoloration.
A: Most trailer tires should be run at their maximum inflation pressure. Consult the maximum pressure rating on the sidewall of the tyre, and inflate your tyres to this number when the tyres are cold. The pressure will rise as the tyre heats up, so it is important to check them before you leave and not bleed off the pressure when they get hot. Most tyre failures result from too low pressure, overloading or excessive speed. These factors or a combination causes the tyre to become hot and may result in a catastrophic tyre failure.
A: The stability of bumper pull trailers is directly associated with the tongue weight of the trailer. Trailers loaded with too much weight on the rear of the trailer may have problems with sway. Trailers with too much weight loaded on the front of the trailer may have excessive tongue weight that could overload the hitch on the towing vehicle or exceed the capacity of the trailer hitch. It is extremely important to load your trailer properly. Please consult your owner’s manual for more information
A: Tongue weight is the amount of the trailer’s weight that is transferred to the tow vehicle through the trailer tongue or gooseneck. As a rule of thumb, Featherlite estimates the tongue weight to be 10 to 15% for bumper pull trailers, 20 to 25% for gooseneck trailers and 30 to 35% for gooseneck trailers with living quarters
A: The load weight is important because if the trailer tongue and tow vehicle hitch are not carrying the proper amount of the loaded trailer weight, the trailer can develop a sway when traveling down the road, which can lead to accidents and injuries. An overloaded trailer also places excessive strain on your tow vehicle. This could result in problems with the hitch or the inability to stop in an emergency. Overloading also puts tremendous strain on your trailer’s frame, axles, bearings and tires causing premature wear. In addition, load distribution is important because no part of the trailer can be loaded beyond its rating. Axles, tyres and wheels also have ratings to consider. Just remember, the total weight of the trailer and its contents should never exceed the trailer’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), which for most trailers you can find on the VIN label.
A: A. Like any road vehicle, campers and caravans have a lot of moving parts. These parts can wear and even breakdown after regular use. Key parts such as your running gear (suspension, wheels, tyres, brakes) require regular upkeep and occasional replacement of consumable parts (bearings, seals, brake magnets). We also recommend other parts of your MDC get regular maintenance checks to ensure proper and safe function of these parts, such as external seals for hatches, doors and windows, plumbing and gas fixtures and electrical connections and safety components. All new MDC vehicles are supplied with a maintenance schedule found in your owner’s manual. It’s also important to keep your servicing up to date to protect your warranties.
