Does the trailer even have brakes? If it is a smallish enclosed utilty trailer it may not have brakes so chains might help but not much.

Lots of good options. Three Blind Mice is very popular.Google it as cut and paste does not work.
My Progressive Dynamics lead acid charger has boost charge rate, regular charge rate, maintainance charge rate and with the Charge Wizard option has an anti sulfaction kick every 24 hours. They have...
As of tomorrow Trump has promised 25% tariffs on everything coming from outside the US. On the other hand who knows what the Hell he will do next?At least your US$ buys a lot in Canada.
For $36 a night you can camp at the LL Parks Canada campsite 10 minutes from the hill, Hot shower, water refill closet, 30 amps and sani dump. It's practially glamping.
In case any of you who are American dont get the Elbows up reference here is the history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj9JGDHPhV4&t=26s
$79,000 for a high milage unicorn seems a little steep but love is blind. Bottom line is it is worth whatever someone will pay for it and a formal appraisal is unlikely
BW is higher and gets more snow but is called Big Whiteout for a reason. It is an intermediate family focused resort and aside from the cliff has nothing particulaly steep. Silver Star is lower and...
Yes they all suck right now. The forcast is for cooler and wetter by next weekend so time will tell
It is triple bad pretty much everywhere in the southern interior ie, freeze thaw for about a week combined with dangerous avalanche conditions and a low base at all the hills.Check Avalanche Canada...
April 6 is normal
Follow up on Castle. This fellow did Castle last year which also sucked so it gives you an idea of low tide conditions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4U6Kcn6hVU
I wrote this blurb and love Castle BUT this year it's not looking so good.https://www.skitalk.com/threads/unofficial-guide-castle-mountain-resort-ab.4764/
An interesting light weight option https://classifieds.castanet.net/details/2021_travel_lite_rayzr/5110849/

If you have an onboard water tank be sure to drain it completly when storing in freezing temperatures. This may mean parking on a slope so water flows down to the outlet when you drain. If not...
Lexel will also work. Appy wet or dry at any temperature.

76 which means free skiing at Red and WH20. Age has to be good for something
Saw this on Facebook Vancouver Island. Amazing rig and crazy price....
I just installed 2' x 2' x 1/2" interlocking foam mats in oue class C. Cheap, removable, warm and cushy. I will probably put some throw rugs on top.

I live in the Okanagan and never go there. It isn't called Big Whitout for nothing. As Mtlion posted, Sun Peaks is a much better option. Bigger, similiar terrain, good village and family friendly.
I posted earlier about my wife on her Sakana 174s. Last season the most powder was only about 6" so not a real test. Theoretically the Sakan and Pescado narrowish split tail make to tails sink in...
My wife demod it and liked it so much she bought it. She is a very good skiier (x pro patrol etc.) and wanted something different as she was getting bored with the usual all mountain choices. They...
If you are interested in a Class C this is a very good deal. Low mileage, no slides and not too long for slippery roads. I have owned an identical unit for 20 years and they are the best winter RV...

I own a log home and unfortunately am required to know a lot about wood finishes.
I use Sikkens Cetol SRD RE on our 1300 square feet of deck. An excellent product but not sure if it is available in...
A typical 1500 watt induction will burn through your 270 ah very quickly. Stick with propane unless you are plugged into 110 and be sure you have big enough cables from the batteries to the inverter....
If you are rich Packsport makes 24" wide rear entry boxes. At any rate you need wider bars so you could add extensions to your existing racks with U bolts and square steel stock.
To get the length you need it means a box 7 1/2 feet long so that means mounting across the back. Both the Thule Force XT and Yakima ski box are 24" wide which might work but also require more room...
Nice unit reasonably price Cdn $. Bigfoot 250 is their best for winter. https://classifieds.castanet.net/details/ford_f350_and_big_foot_camper/5023723/
Good plan
Shifter punching crankcase is very common if you don't install aftermarket case guards. Hopefully JB weld will fix it but I suggest you install guards before riding again.
Bigfoot also makes trailers. More $ than Escape but much less $ than Airstream

It is too bad those high quality class C RVs are no longer manufactured however they are still available on the used market particularly if you are willing to shop in Canada.
The exchange rate...
I had a K series Blazer (the big one) with a Mountaineer fiberglass pop up. It was a tailgate longer. Very nice to go from the front into the back like a mini Class C. Full load on the Blazer with...
Same with Jeeps
The 4xe has notorious and unsolvable problems. My niece has one and it has been broken for months and the dealer has no idea how to fix it. Check the reviews.
I'm sure you know this already but...
With the exception of the small green bottles, propane tanks must be stored outside the vehicle. I once filled up a 25 pounder in winter when the bottle was cold then put it inside the heated van for...
How many consecutive days do you camp? Sounds like you need a class C.
These are used units for winter and Canadian $

Here is a clip from the series. The Coquihalla snowshed is in the background as semis try to get up the hill known as 'The Crusher'. So many of the truckers are from the warm Vancouver area and have...
We have one of these units in a 24 footer.

-25C with no problem. Too bad they don't make them any more but occasionally pop up on the used market.
I doubt they would replace the Red chair as the winds on the upper mountain are pretty extreme so that would continue to limit top of mountain traffic which is a good thing.
Last week I helped a friend install a suitcase heater in his old flat bed quad cab work truck. He is a faller working in the far north of BC and Alberta where -30C is not uncommon. The outlet faces...

If the AC works and it's not leaking around the unit perhaps consider an AC cover

Hellwig makes good stuff. I put one on the rear of my E450 Class C and it made a huge difference.
I hadn't thought of that. I guess detachable sway bars would work but they are a pain.
You might also think about an aftermarket sway bar either front or rear or both.
