Why do I need an Articulating Arm over a ball hitch?
The ball hitch does not move with the trailer and can potentially tip the trailer if you are at an odd angle. The articulating front hitch moves in all directions allowing you to take the trailer into extreme conditions. The articulating arm also has a plunger that when off-road you open up so that the trailer does not push the vehicle when stopping but rather slowly plunges into a spring and softly stops itself. When on road you lock the plunger and the trailer will stop quickly behind your vehicle.
Is there a CAMBER adjustment on the TRIBE® Trailer?
Yes there is an adjustment where you can adjust the camber of the tires. What this does is allow for better tire wear down if the trailer is not on camber correctly.
How fast can I go when towing the Trailer?
Do not exceed 55 on the road and go only as fast as the conditions allow off-road. Many states have restrictions with regards to towing a trailer, make sure you know these restrictions. California (For Example) only allows towing in the first 2 lanes and only at 55 MPH.
When I connect my Trailer what do I need to do or can I just go?
Never just leave thinking that everything is okay with the trailer especially if you did not check the trailer the last time you went off-road. Always assume that you need to check everything before you leave.
Think of the trailer like a “Captain” thinks of his ship. Check everything because if you don’t there could be a failure on the road and you could lose your trailer.
These are just a few check points.
- Check to see that the Lugs are tight on the tires.
- Check to see that you have the trailer safely connected to the vehicle and all safety chains are on and the brake and backup lights on the trailer are working.
- Check to see that the tires are in good condition and safe to use.
- Check to see if the doors are all locked down and safely stowed.
- Check to see if the brakes work on the trailer.
- Check to see that there are no loose nuts anywhere on the trailer
- (mark the nuts with a white marker to make sure they don’t move).
- Check to make sure the tent is secure and locked down so that it does not open during driving.

Where do I get parts for the trailers?

Awning Warning - Do I have to move my awning out when I set up camp?
The TRIBE basecamp trailer has a awesome awning mount that allows you to move the awning to different heights and adjust the distance from the trailer. When traveling on the road or trail you will want to place the awning in the tightest position against the trailer so that it does not hit anything on the trail. Once you "basecamp" and start setting up the trailer the first thing you want to do before you open the tent is to extend the awning mount as far as possible away from the trailer. The reason is that the ALPHA tent opens in that direction and will hit the mount if not moved and potentially damage the tents hard cover. When you pack up, close the tent and move the awning bracket in the tightest position to the trailer.
What Other Customers Are Saying
Because of Ben Calli, I’ve never felt so heard or well taken care of at an RV dealership. Not knowing much about RVs people have often been dismissive or only interested in speaking to my husband because I don’t know the lingo or the importance of different specs. Words can’t describe how grateful I am for Ben to have taken the time to go above and beyond and patiently and thoughtfully explain so many things to me this afternoon. It was an honor, and truly a pleasure.
If you’re even toying with the idea of getting an RV, whatever you do, seek out Ben Calli! - Chrissie from Kansas City, MO
Kent was great to work with. No high pressure sales pitch. Tech Scott was very thorough in going through the systems at the walk through. Would buy here again. - PETE from Albuquerque, NM
