#1 of 21 Adding a camper to the Titan by bcdoc Apr 05, 2006 (9:01 am)
Hi all, I am wondering whether anyone has any experience with adding a regular truck camper to their Titan - gross vehicle weights, airbags, etc. ?   Thanks,   Peter Replies to this message: carl25 (Feb 14, 2007 9:19 pm) bcdoc (Feb 17, 2007 2:18 pm) razorthunder (Feb 17, 2007 5:18 pm) and 2 more... carl25 (Feb 26, 2007 9:20 pm)

Replying to: carl25 (Feb 14, 2007 9:19 pm) Hi Carl, Have you tried a camper yet on your Titan? Don't have the $$ right now, but would like to consider it one day. I haven't seen any Titans with campers yet here in Lower Mainland BC, but it's winter now, so . . .

Replying to: bcdoc (Feb 17, 2007 2:18 pm) I haven't been able to pull a camper because I still have not resolved the brake defect on my 2004 Nissan Titan. Plus when Nissan stopped backing the warranty on my 2004 Nissan Titan at 24000 miles and 30 months, I had to spend $800 out of pocker on my 4th set of rotor and brake pads. So at this point, even though I have the big tow package, I wouldn't even trust towing a camper. Probably would have the rotors go out quicker.

Replying to: razorthunder (Feb 17, 2007 5:18 pm) I see. I assume that that was the normal end of the warranty on brakes? I haven't looked at the manual lately. I have heard that an aftermarket set of larger rotors is avail that might reduce/eliminate the overheating/warping issue, but you would then need to buy larger rims to accomodate them. Might be a one time thing, but $$$ !
#6 of 21 Camper tie-downs by ralphestes Feb 26, 2007 (11:59 am)
Trying to find camper tie-downs for 2005 Titan King Cab. HappiJacks won't work because front ones go into the bed wall, and I understand that wall isn't sturdy enough on the Titan. Torklift makes frame-mounted tie-downs, but they seem elaborate, expensive, and they say they won't work if running board (or whatever that is now called) extends rearward into the bed area - which mine does. Local Titan dealer and camper dealers know nothing. Help. This shouldn't be a major problem, but so far I can't find anything. To response off-group, sent to titancamperralphestes.com Thanks.

Replying to: bcdoc (Feb 17, 2007 2:18 pm) Peter I was towing a 30 ft. travel trailer behind my 2005 Titan and totaled my truck & travel trailer. I was passing a trackter trailer just got by him lost control because of the draft. The tires are only 6 ply side walls.By a bigger & heavy duty truck to pull a travel trailer. I was well within my towing limits.

Replying to: razorthunder (Feb 17, 2007 5:18 pm) I have a 2004 Titan CC SE and had a brake issue too. However, my dealer took care of the problem the first time I took it in.   Did you ever complain to the BBB, file a suit, or anything against that dealer?   SP
#10 of 21 Towing by akawada May 08, 2007 (5:58 am)
I have an 2004 Titan w/ the Big Tow Pkg. Regarding the brake issues that have been frequently discussed, I had my front rotors and pads replace under warranty before the infamous brake judder reared it's ugly head. Also, the rear rotors were turned and new pads were installed. Once again, all under warranty.   As far as towing, I recently purchased a 29 ft Starcraft Travel Trailer. The Titan towed it with absolutely no problems, (aside from sucking lots of fuel)! The trailer weighs about 4,600 lbs but I do have the Equalizer Weight distribution hitch and the Prodigy electronic brake controller. I believe these two things made a big difference.     Replies to this message: pencil13 (Jul 06, 2007 5:08 pm)
