Lock Cylinder Recall

Maybe this is old business but I got a recall notice for the lock cylinders on the doors of my Visa 19ERD. I went to the Fastec recall site and filled out the form online to get replacement...

Re: Needing Tires Already

Ok; I bit the bullet and went for the Kumho 857 Radials ... I couldn't get them locally so I ordered them from Tire Rack online and paid the local Goodyear store to do the install. $126 each plus...

Trailer Wheel Alignment

Does it matter how the wheels are aligned on a single axle trailer? I can understand having alignment issues on a tandem axle trailer.

Re: 2013 Visa 19 ERD Trip Statistics

Thanks for sharing the stats.

That's pretty impressive gas mileage for the Highlander.

Do you tow in top gear? What kind of speeds to you drive and how often is the tranny downshifting to...

Needing Tires Already

The OEM Chinese Maypops on our 19ERD are just about run out. Maybe one more trip of under 500miles and the drivers side inside edge will be about down to zero tread depth.

Re: VISA 19ERD TV mount locations

Sorry but I don't know what the make or model is. I think we got it at Walmart probably a few years ago. I think we used it on our boat.

It looks similar to this one...

Re: Pulling a Visa 19

There's no substitute for low end torque or wheelbase. Mo' is betta .

Re: VISA 19ERD TV mount locations

Re: 2013 Visa 19 ERD Door Hydraulic Unit

I may end up removing mine too. I drilled my door bracket through and used two stainless bolts. I had a couple of left over ss barrel nuts so those went on the inside for appearance. Silicone...

Re: 2013 Visa 19 ERD Door Hydraulic Unit

Re: 3” lift for my 19’ Visa ERD

I haven't done that many miles but my tow seems unaffected. I do carry some extra blocks to place under the jacks or wheels but I'd probably need those anyway. Also I've been measuring the tread...

Re: Visa 23BHD has holding tank labels reversed!

Re: Hitch Height on Visa 19

Hitch height is not the important measurement. What's important is how the trailer sits when coupled to the TV or more importantly how does it tow? Slightly bow down is better than any amount of...

Re: 3” lift for my 19’ Visa ERD
