RE: Funny Town Names?
Nothing worse than driving across Maine.... Seeing a sign that says 2 miles to Mexico!

RE: Lug Nut size
Workhorse W-22 chassis has Stainless Steel Wheel Liners
and the
Workhorse W-24 chassis has Polished Aluminum Wheels.
the wheel linerss you just pull two of the nut covers off and the liner should slip right off.
The Aluminum Wheels, if you don't have a socket big enough, you don't have a rachet big enough!! But the hub cover should turn off. Depends on how it is set up.

RE: Emerald Ash Borer profit?
You have approximately 20,000 ash trees are located on public property within Kansas City, Mo. More than 400,000 ash trees are on private property. Within Greater Kansas City’s nine county region, the estimate is more than 4.6 million ash trees. They will not last long if the Emerald Ash Borer spreads into your area. Read the following link and know the true facts!!: http://www.kcmo.org/CKCMO/Depts/ParksandRecreation/ParksCitywideServices/EmeraldAshBorer/index.htm

RE: swap 5k lbs hitch to a 10k lbs hitch
Its a Ford F53 frame and their brochure says 17,000 GVWR and GCWR is 25,000 so believe up to 8000 lbs available before exceeding the GCWR, and that assumes I don't go over 17,000 with the coach. The motorhome frame is really solid, the way they added the hitch to it isn't up to the quality and strength of the motor home frame, hence would need to change the hitch and the way it is attached.But how much weight did the final manufacturer (the coach builder) add to that frame. You have to go by the weight the coach builder says, not the chassis builder. There are motorhomes out there that are overweight when they leave the assembly line!!!

RE: swap 5k lbs hitch to a 10k lbs hitch
I understand this forum is full of safety police and that is a good thing but not always practical.
You can call it "safety police", but I see it as looking out for our fellow RVers and the motoring public in general. I had to put up with the real "safety police", aka DOT, PUC, and various other police agencies, as a over the road CDL driver for years. They were looking out for my safety, and the safety of the general public. They were not working against me, and I don't see how one around here can think other RVers are working against them. I see very knowledgeable people wanting to help.
And you mention the pratical side of it. Well I know that if I modify a commercial trailer used under DOT regulations that it has to go back to the manufacturer for a new manufacturer's modification sticker before it can be legally ran on the highways. Practical is not always safe!

RE: swap 5k lbs hitch to a 10k lbs hitch
I too am waiting to hear what you do. We have a 82 Pace Arrow 30 fter and thought it had a class 3 so we bought a KarKatty SS to tow our 99 Deville Concours. The dealer we bought the karkatty from hooked it up to the MH the first time to show us how to do it and nothing was said about the right size receiver. Anyhow we have towed the caddy several times with no problems at all can't even tell shes back there. After learning that it is a class 2 we took it to our shop we go to and had them throw a few extra welds on the receiver. I will get it loaded up and take it to the scales and see what is going on. I hope after spending all the monies to have a toad (our caddie) I hope it works out in our favor.With a curb weight of 4012 lbs. plus what ever your hauling in it, on the KarKatty at 615 lbs, with a total towed vehicle weight – 4,700 lbs, I sure some day you will end up leaving the dolly and Deville at a red light or stop sign. That class 2 hitch is still only rated at 3500 lbs even with the extra welds.

RE: Problems with batteries
With on hint what you are working on, it is kind of hard to even guess. If it is the solenoid that is hung up, then a tap with a hammer will usually make it let go.
Good Luck
Matt
Thanks for the tip! Now I just need to figure out where the starter is. I've heard this from one other place in my research on this problem. I'm not too familiar with working on diesel engines though, but I'll take a look tomorrow.
Kevin
Matt was wondering what you are working on. I'm guessing that it is a 2012 Fleetwood Discovery 40G because it is what is listed in your profile, but I could be groping in the dark here. You might have brought something else to play with. Am also guessing that we are talking about a Cummins, but no idea what model? If it is the 2012 Fleetwood, isn't it under warranty???
And if you don't know where the starter is on a Cummins, you should not be tearing into that engine!

RE: Lighest Truck As A TOAD
The last of the Rangers, 4-cyl, 5-speed, standard cab, short box, make a nice toad. But they are uncomfortable. Be sure to drive one first.
Sure are uncomfortable!!! Cut off circulation in the legs.

RE: calling all truckers
Use loadlocks every couple feet. You can double deck, even triple deck, them all the way back and hang your clothes from them. The hangers and load locks would be the heaviest thing, not the clothes. But that many load locks would cost a pretty penny!
