Have you weighted this trailer? I can put nearly 1000 pounds of stuff in my former popup camper so only 700 pounds seems light. 30 gallons of fresh water (250 pounds), a pair of 20 pound LP tanks -- which when full weigh 40 pounds each (80 pounds), a couple of deep cycle batteries (150 pounds) adds roughly 500 pounds to the trailer before the first bit of cargo gets in there. I'd expect closer to 9000 pounds for a 33' travel trailer.7000 full, 6300 dry.
Chasing these symptoms can often lead down an expensive rabbit hole with a parts cannon, but there are a few things I always check after an overheating episode to rule out some preliminary issues.it seriously overheated and just shut down. I had no idea on earth what happened, I thought I might have blown the engine. Had it towed to nearest Ford dealership and back on the road the next day.
When we got home, out of an abundance of caution, I had the cooling system flushed and the thermostat replaced. Now, when I drive (without towing anything) up the slightest incline the temp starts to climb. The oil temp and trans temp are fine. I've had it looked at by 3 different shops and no one has an answer.
I have the same issue on mine. my trailer is 5200 ULW, so probadly 7500 loaded without water. Live in Northern California, so whenever I go to the sierras, its a non stop overheat fest.My 2017 EL with the HD towing package is overheating while towing uphill. I slow down (less than 60 mph), and turn off the A/C to keep it from hitting the max heat level. I've flushed the cooling system and changed the thermostat. Does anyone else have an issued with engine temp going up while climbing?
