Question:
I recently bought a Forest River X- Lite travel trailer 273QBXL that is 33 feet tongue to bumper. I am pulling this trailer with a 2018 Dodge Ram 2500 and feel that the trailer sits too low and has difficulties backing into driveways due to the length and low ride height of the coach. What would be the best decision to give me more agility when navigating and parking my coach? Will this kit be sufficient? should I look at other options for an overall better experience? Also, could you recommend a strong UV protecting cover California for this coach?

Expert Reply:
If you are looking for a suspension lift for your Forest River Wildwood X-Lite 273QBXL due to its low ride height the best option is absolutely the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00.
The reason is this will give you the most height because it moves your trailer's leaf springs to the top of your axle and lifts your trailer approximately the same amount as your axle's diameter plus the height of the leaf spring pack.
Then for the cover that will fit your Forest River Wildwood X-Lite 273QBXL and is perfect for blocking UV in a moderate climate like yours the best cover is the Adco SFS AquaShed Cover # 290-52245.
This is designed specifically for a temperate climate and will offer the most protection against UV rays while also offering the best fit and a cinching system to ensure the cover stays snug on your trailer. Keep in mind that the length of the trailer tongue is not included when determining cover size, which is why this cover will fit your X-Lite.
I also highly recommend adding tire covers to protect them from the sun with the Adco Tyre Gard RV Wheel Cover # 290-3923.
