    Look for one that will ignore sensors when it doesn't sense them - in other words, suppose you leave your RV at a campsite and go for a drive. The TPMS will not see the trailer sensors, and therefor should ignore them rather than setting an alarm. Look for a system that has sensors with...

    Oops - I put DEF in fuel tank!

    Catastrophic truck failure while on vacation....

    Any updates? As a side note, I've heard of similar problems with GM trucks - the injection pump (CP3 or CP4) fails and sends shrapnel through the system and wrecks everything in its path.

    Looking at air bags

    I went with PacBrake airbags and the Airlift Wireless controller and compressor system On my truck, PacBrake was the preferred option because I didn't need to drill in the frame to mount them. Also, the airbags support the frame, not a bracket bolted tot he side of the frame.

    2004 Chevy Diesel Dual Heater Control Problem - PROBLEM SOLVED

    That little round doo-hickey above the driver's head is called an "aspirator". It has a little fan in it that draws cabin air across a temp sensor, which sends a signal to the control panel to adjust the temp and airflow as needed to maintain the set temperature GM trucks that have the climate...

    How Necessary is a Weapon?

    How Necessary is a weapon? I would say it all depends on what level of comfort or paranoia a person has with being out traveling and camping in unfamiliar places. Here's a good write up: http://www.truckcampermagazine.com/newbie-articles/personal-safety-for-truck-campers-part-2

    Flag Pole

    I have the Flag Pole Buddy holder. It broke, when I left an antenna in it and drove under a tree. ANtenna wasn't tall, but enough to catch a low branch. Decent product, and I plan to order the replacement part.
