    What did you do to your camper today?

    Finally took delivery of the trail runner today. List is too long to post about all we've been doing to it so far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just need a schedule to plan.....Too much to ask?

    I've had your PDI checklist printed days ago. Lol. Also downloaded to my Dropbox. Thank you so much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just need a schedule to plan.....Too much to ask?

    Oh do I totally understand how you feel. Although the unit I ordered wasn't nearly as expensive as yours and I'm not full timing. I was promised delivery the first week of August. The lack of communication was terrible. I came close to just canceling the order too. I finally got the call...

    General lack of quality

    I've owned 4 different campers over the years. One as old as a 1973 Shasta and I e never had that many problems out of any of them in 5 years. (Stated 5 years because the OP has a 2012 and it is now 2017). I'd be upset as well. I ordered a trail runner back in June and am still waiting on...

    Tires in your TV SRW

    I love the cooper discovery st maxx in 275/70-17 on my Ram. I needed a more aggressive E load range tire than normal for mud. They seem to be wearing well and are quiet for how aggressive the tread is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2018 Landmark 365 Newport - delays

    I too am in the same boat kinda. Ordered in June. They are saying a build date maybe next week. Yay. Just in time for the kids to go back to school and all the campgrounds near me to close. No possibility of even a weekend trip now. I was promised delivery for around the first of August. Hope...

    Yeah they like to snatch money from as many people as they can up here in this God forsaken state. Luckily I have access to scales that are free. I just have to do it in the middle of the night on the weekend when they aren't busy. I will be able to weigh as many times as I need to. Sent...

    Class 8 tow rig

    You can get a really nice class 8 for around $20k. Spend another $5k or so and you have the ultimate tow rig. A $20k medium duty or similar truck won't be nearly as nice and won't last nearly as long. It is cheaper than you would think to own a class 8. That is the route I'm taking when I go...

    Yeah the leverage can be huge I know. I went on a trip to Louisiana a few times. The bridge across the aliceway (spelling) basin was no joke. Bounced us all over the place for I think 25 or 30 miles it was. My big concern is I now live in NY. They have been cracking down on over weight...

    It's a tow behind. I guess another question I have to ask is just how much weight does a weight distribution hitch take off the truck? Guess I could weight the truck without it installed and again without it installed. Prolly be the only way to be accurate. According to my numbers there is...

    Ok so I have a 06 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab 4x4 with the auto and diesel. It's a base model ST tr truck. The GVWR is 9000lbs with 245/70-17 tires. Those have been long gone and replaced with 275/70-17. As it sits with tool box and tools with no passengers it weighs 7450. Add me the wife and kids...
