If you have a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban/Silverado, check the contact at the rear bumper for 12V. Use a multi-meter and touch the + lead to the contact at the 1 o'clock position, and the - lead to the contact at the 7 o'clock position. If you do NOT have a reading of 12V, open the hood, and on the driver side, at the wheelwell, there is a big black box, remove the cover and put a fuse in the Stud #1 position. There might be a plastic plug with a B+ stamped in the position that will need to be removed. The fuse is a J-case 40A fuse and once installed, verify that you have 12V at the rear bumper connector as indicated above. Click here to see where the fuse is to be placed, the fuse was not installed by the factory for "safety reasons". This information may apply to other years and models as well, so check your truck as above or consult your owners' manual for location of the fuse. |

Welcome to my CampingTrailer Page |
We Have been Pop Up Trailer campers for 10 years. Our first Pop up was a 1993 Coleman Destiny Royale. Then in June of 2000 I bought a Niagara because of the room and shower. Now we are the proud owners of a 2002 TrailManor Model 2720.... What a remarkable piece of engineering!! |
Got a NEW TOW Vehicle on July 19,2003! A 2003 Tahoe LS with a factory tow package, 5.3L V8 |

A GREAT MUST HAVE BOOK! |
During a recent camping trip, we met a couple that told us about the book "the Next EXIT", and they said that it paid for itself many time over in a very short period of time. While on our trip to New Mexico in August, I picked up a copy at Camping World and I was absolutely amazed at how accurate and helpful this book was. I only use a certain brand of gasoline and this book helped us find which exits had that brand as well as all other services and such at the exits. If you travel a lot and/or just want to know what is available at the NEXT EXIT, then this is a must have book for you too. |

After seeing the 2007 TrailManor, I have decided to perform some of the mods that I have seen. So far I have updated the door latch, added the A/C deflector, replaced the black door gasket with the white one. I also had a custom cabinet made at Lowes for above the stove..GREAT MOD! I will add the pictures to my mods webshots soon. |
The next TrailManor Rally will be held June 21-27, 2009 in Branson, Missouri. We will be staying at ABC Campground. |
