Pretty sure this Wilkins is in NY up by Bath. I haven't been there since they opened their new shop a few years ago, but they were very nice folks in their old location!

We have a set of nice, wineglasses that we wanted to keep with us while we travel. When we are on the move we put a glass inside an old (clean!) sock. Haven't lost one yet! Our regular stuff is corelle

I do not know Heartland's position on this, but many RV manufacturer's do not like the 5th airborne for some reason. Our manufacture has stated that they do not recommend use of the airborne hitch. We own a Demco Glide-Ride hitch, but I like the looks of the Trailer Air (2 shock unit)

I visit this site about every two months (to check for new files and updates) It pretty much covers all the popular GPS software programs, and has many useful POI's http://www.discoveryowners.com/cginfolinks.htm but I have found a few inaccuracies with the Walmart and Flying J info

I had the pleasure of using one of these a few weeks ago http://www.pressureprosystem.com/powertank.aspx My neighbors have one, (Dale and Mark Bruss) so I was able to borrow Mark's tank to give it a try. It has an excellent fill handle and accurate gage. I haven't contacted Pat about ordering...

How well do they work with the winds in Mission??? None

I have never had an issue un-hitching, but you guys do know that if you pull the handle to un-lock, then flip the little lock lever, you can keep the hitch in the unlock position and then pull your truck out.

this is our procedure too!

I have one! Our rig scales at a little under 17K, and after 6 months of use I think I will need to replace the rubber bushings soon. (I will probably order 2 sets!) Other than the quick wear on the bushings, I like the hitch.

a little un-related, but there is another identity scam that has surfaced that is working well for the scammers. Folks are getting phone calls asking as to why the callee did not report for jury duty. (of course, jury duty is something most folks take seriously!) The caller then asks for...

The engines are made by International. International installs the element in all engines. I paid 8.64 for the cable at an International dealer in NJ. Maybe I should buy some more and sell them on Ebay for 24 bucks!

I was in a Velerro station in New Braunsfels this morning that the sign said 3.239, but when I filled up (52 gallons) the receipt said 3.079!! Computer error in my favor!!!!!!!:D

2.96 here in Austin today

I found an excellent guide that explains how to properly weigh your truck and trailer. The thing I like most about it is that it has lots of pictures and diagrams so you can understand the process!! http://www.trucktires.com/bridgestone/us_eng/press/zip/WeighForm.pdf

Pat, are there still lots for sale in Mission?? I don't have an HDT, but maybe my F550 is good enough??!!?? None I bought my Pressure Pro system from Mike and Pat, and it was a pleasure doing business with them! Doug

Jim, With the ford extended plan, you must purchase it before you have 12,000 miles. I learned this the hard way with my F350, I thought I could extend the factory warranty when we got close to the end of the 3year 36,000 but then found out you have to do it before 12,000 miles.

I think that tripods are working on the symptoms, not working on the cause. check out the video at this site http://jtrv.com/index.html The vendor of these had a demonstartion rig set up at this year's fall escapade (Escapee's gathering) He had them mounted on a relitively cheap 5th wheel (a...

We just pulled into spot B4, but we might be leaving tomorrow (definitely by Wednesday) Just here waiting for a new TV for our livingroom.

Jim, Is everything still open on 17?? I wondered if the area is seasonal, or open all the time?? We are going to leave the Charlotte area tomorrow (been staying at Carowinds amusment park RV campground this week) and are heading for the huge campgrounds between Myrtle Beach and Murrells...

Jim, I'm using a Sierra A590 (EVDO rev A) aircard with Verizon service. My wife has no problems with Skype. She has video calls every other week with her folks in Germany. I was surprised at how good the connection is, not much latency at all. Her father is a ham radio operator in Germany...

Limp mode?? or bad fuel??

Why wait?? I mean, other than major ticket items like broke TV or heater not working, why bother with the dealer??? When I fix something, I know it is down correctly, and I don't make a mess of my rig or carpeting. My last 5th wheel (won't point fingers other than to say it was made by...

NOW they come out with enclosed baths in the landmark. Truth be told, this was the main reason we chose an Excel over the Landmark in 2006. :( My wife insisted on an enclosed bathroom.

I don't know if you buy it at Lowe's or NAPA?? I wonder if the sparkplugs light the gas?? Maybe fuel injected BAR-B-Que sauce?? Maybe a hybrid version that uses charcoal?? This thing would be the hit of any campground!

I want this one!!

We use a similar setup in our 5th. Seirra 595 connected to a router, but i also added a Wilson amplifier between the card and the antenna we mounted on the roof of the trailer. We also use a Wilson cellular amplifier in our truck. We just drove from NJ to Sioux Falls SD, and we lost internet...

John, My post was very much "tounge in cheek" We are on our way to SD to get our new drivers licenses, and right now our 5th looks more like a U-haul, than a home!! We figured it was better to store stuff in a more central location than NJ! One thing I will add to the list is that a few...

Now you post this!! We left our stick house two days ago!! ( a little frazzled) Driving across rt 74 in IL as we "type"

IMHO, you did well Jim. When I got mine I searched and searched for a 2007 (Charoit was closed for the 4th of July when I was shopping for my truck) From what I was reading on other forums, the 6.0 4.88 combo is getting much better mileage than the 6.4 4.88 combo. I have only towed about...

Jim, Hope you like yours as much as I like mine! Link air ride in back?? One note!! make sure you check the wiring in the back when you pick up your chariot. If you do a google search, you will find some posts about some unhappy chariot owners (I think these were mostly problems when...

I'm thinking about copying this set up http://firedude.thefiredude.com/content/view/566/60/

I got the Viper 771VX http://www.viper.com/Products/Product.aspx?ProductID=105 I like the remote start, and the turbo timer when stopping. The only problem I have had with the install (done by Sound Waves in NJ) is that for some reason when I start the truck with the key (not during remote...

just had a Viper alarm installed with autostart. Another feature is that my remote works within 1 mile of truck. If someone breaks in, my remote tells me!

Excellant advise!

my last, and current Ford have Tow Command. When you "pull the pin" with tow command you get all kinds of bells and alarms on the dash.

We are lifetime members! Good group of folks. They are a little bit more geared for full time rv'ers, not too many benefits for the weekend or casual camper. They have a political action committee that gets involved in both local government issues as well as issues all the way up to...

The monitoring system is for loss of pressure, not raise in pressure. 2000-4000 dollars can easily be spent repairing damage to a trailer if tire failure is not detected immediately.

http://www.pressureprosystem.com/ best "peace of mind" device I have ever owned. I also bought, and use, a lazer thermometer at Sears for 49 bucks. (goodyear says my 614's should stay below 130 degrees when towing)

We found this problem with the dirt devil in our Excel. Has worked great since fixing the connection.

I paid under 200 for mine (free shipping was included at the time) took me all of 10 minutes to install http://accessory-center.com/Louvered-Tailgates.3832.stml just select your vehicle info in the upper right box
