I didnt see that he posted anything, he just replied to your post with no words 🤣
If you expand it its at the bottom. BTW I ordered some carlisle radial trail tires. I researched they were made in Tennessee. When I picked them up I see that they are made in China. O well they're just spares anyway

I did some digging. So it seems they have a few that are made in china. mostly certain trailer tires in a few sizes only. But they use the same compounds and specs as the USA made tires that consist of 90% of there manufacturing.
That said, they have been the best trailer tires ive ever had and never a failure. Id trust them. Ive had alot of other brands and these have worn the best and lasted longer.

So we've had the camper for a few weeks now. Haven't used it yet but been getting it set up and stocked with the all the items we will need. I think it hurts my wallet more than the pioneer but we're ready to take it somewhere now. I found this handle in one of the cabinets. I have no clue what it might be for but thought maybe one of y'all would know

Could be a few different things.
1. Stabilizer jacks
2. Spare tire winch
3. Use on slide motor to move slide manually
4. Random trash intended to eff you up.

Hey WT, which model is this?
I currently have a 2010 19’ UFB that we make work, but are looking at trading up into a 2012 30WRS.
I’m just wondering how it fits in the garage. We have a 1000-5 with the factory roof, and a 3” lift.
Any information is appreciated.

It's a wpt30wrs. Our 1000-5 barely fits in the garage. 28" tires, SuperATV arms and fox shocks. I could gain some extra clearance in the garage if I removed the pull down screen at the back. Might gain 3" of height doing that. Right now there's maybe an inch clearance. Here's the measurements of my pioneer. The length is from back mudbuster to winch hook on the front. I can measure the height of the garage this weekend if that will help you out. Also there is about 2" to spare front and back. It's tight but it works

I strap it down like this. One strap on each tire and it doesn't move at all

Typically crank handles like that are to manually retract the awning if the electrical motor fails. The end looks odd but check the ends of your awnings for a piece that the handle would slip onto.

Thanks for the info, looks to be the identical trailer you have.
I’ve been having to deflate my tires to 8psi to get it in our current trailer.
My 1000-5 is setup with oem a-arms, and a SATV 3” lift, stock load leveling suspension and the hard plastic roof.
We currently are required to remove the Happijac bed from its original location and reinstall after removing the buggy. Gets to be a real PITA.

Do you have any pictures from the front of the buggy?

I wound up having to remove the sliding doors, my buggy has the slasher bumper on it which sticks through the slider opening. We’ve decided to replace them with a curtain rod and curtains. The wife thinks it’ll give it a more “homey “ look.

Off topic question, what tires do you have on your camper. Mine are from 2017.
I’ve heard rumors of the china bomb tires, and the Goodyear endurance tires weight capacity are right at the GVWR rating of the trailer. 9a0f4c637b2d638da3e785c60ddfc894
