Congrats on your new trailer. Arctic Fox is an excellent brand and they have many nice features and very good quality.

Remember to keep your RV tires at their maximum inflation. From the pics, those look like 225/75-15's, most likely "D". You can easily improve your safety factor by going to load range "E", but weigh your trailer axles to see where you are at... If you have the physical space and the budget, upgrading to 16" rims and Michelin XPS Ribs is the way to go, but you will be looking at $900-$950 in tires and $400-$450 in new rims. Upgrading to "E" rated 15" ST tires will run approx $450... and for your size trailer should be fine. (waiting for the tire police to start ranting....)

Regarding the soot on the bumper... my truck used to do this, but it was more blue-ish... anyway an easy way to solve this issue is to install a SS or chrome exhaust tip (5" dia x 6" long) and you can adjust how far out you want it to protrude and it will allow the smoke to not touch your truck.

Best regards,
Louis
