Is anyone still going for the weekend?

As many in the midwest know we do not keep our toys very long before we (mainly I get the bug). We are upgrading again and are selling our whole rig. We already have a deal done but do not pick up the new rig until May 25th so there is time for someone to get a good deal. 2019 Ford F450 4X4...

MY 17' F250 gained ~1mpg after 30k miles

My 3870FB is just over 4k on the pin loaded with washer and dryer. ~16500 lbs. With the 4k pin I put on air bags. I get 7.6mpg in windy conditions and 8.6-9.4 depending on terrain loaded. I tend to drive at ~68mph when towing. My unloaded is 11.1 to 12.3 with mostly city driving depending on...

I am going by what is reported for years on the ford truck forum. The 20" Michelin's that were on my 17' F250 had less than half the tread at 22k miles. The Continental tires are well documented to get ~70k. The tire debate often gets debunked when people bring that up as an added cost. The...

The turning radius alone is worth the extra cash for the F450. Not to mention the brakes. The tires are pricey but will also last twice as long as the 18" or 20" that are on the F350. I did not have an issue with financing and I have USAA insurance.

I have the TOGO and like it. I used to use the Weboost but was not happy with it compared to the cost. I bout the higher power one and at the recommendation of Weboost I bought a omni directional antenna that helped a bit. It worked ok but not being able to use MIMO is where it is lacking...

When I was stationed in HI in the mid 90's I delivered pizza to make some extra cash. On one delivery there was a 68 GTO in the garage in great shape. When I asked for more info the lady said she did not know anything about it but was selling it for $1000. Turned out her husband was on...

Hopefully it is pre-wired. There is a blank plate (electrical outlet blank off), usually on the ceiling of your front bedroom that has the cables. Drill a hole through the roof. You can also tell if it is pre-wired if it has the 6 pin controller cable. That is usually in the closet.

We are leaving in the morning and should be there before 3 depending on when I wake up to leave.

I was having issues with one of my controllers and called Dometic. There was a run of bad ones that would do random things. They sent me a new one no questions asked.

Yes the side markers

At the national rally I installed the Furrion side marker cameras in place of the 2 front side marker lights. They work good but the door side is partially blocked by the awning. I moved it to the other side of the awning mounting channel and fished wires to the front bay. I can not for the...

If you have a generator with a 30 amp plug you can use your 50-30 amp adapter to have both legs hot. However, unless you have soft starts installed on your ac's you will not be able to run both with a 30 amp generator. Even with the soft starts you have to manage your power and wont be able to...

Thanks for the tips. We stayed at the Embassy suites a few years ago and had a beer at Duff's. We have reservations for the KOA in Canada from the 2nd to the 6th of October.
