RE: 5th length question - stupid question of the day
Most model numbers today have little to do with actual trailer length of a 5er.

RE: Alaska-Cruise vs Driving
We did 12,200 miles from OH to AK and back in 08. We averaged 10mpg and spent $5900 and change on gas alone. This was a seven week trip.

RE: Vintage Spartan and tow vehicle photo
That looks like a recent picture. It looks like it was taken on the grounds of the Gilmore Museum in Michigan. A very nice place to visit.

RE: Seeing Red - Need to vent
It sure can be entertaining. I got lucky. While in high school wayback when, I started working in the garage of a local trucking co. I learned to backup and manuever 40' trailers. After a year or so they started buying 44s.
The most important thing I was taught was you only had to clear an object. 1 inch was enough, anything more was extra. I also learned all about mirrors.

RE: There Used To Be A Lot More Activity On The TC Forum??
My 2 cents. I have followed a couple of Corvette forums for nearly 10yrs and this one for a bit longer. It seems to me the traffic has slowed on all of them. Maybe the newness of forums are wearing off.

RE: Defined benefit pension and loans
My wife and I are both retired. For credit, they still only care about how much you earn/receive and your credit score.

RE: Firestone Transforce ATs?
I was happy with the AT's on my last truck. They were the oem tire. Eventually bought two more.

RE: 1/2 ton towing 650,000 lbs
You guys forgot the most important detail!!! Yes the truck can pull it but how well can a 1/2 ton truck with small brakes stop that kind of load in a emergency condition!! :)
Two words, reverse thrusters.

RE: 1/2 ton towing 650,000 lbs
I just saw a picture of three men pulling a locamotive at a trade show in Atlantic City in the 30s. It was the first engine to have roller bearings on all axles. It was done by the Timken Co.

RE: After market GPS
My hearing is so poor even with two aids, volumn doesn't matter. That said, I have no problems following the gps 99% of the time. While hearing the voice is probably helpful, it's not a necessity.
My Garmin can be loud to me, even though I can't understand it enough to be of use.

RE: Looking to buy: <25 ft. & 4 season advice
I recently looked at Lance trailers. I'm not sure they have bigger than 24. They can be got with dual pane windows and such. They won't be easy to find but IMO would be well worth looking at.

RE: Not sure what happened
Basic code readers won't retrieve codes from the TCM that controls the trans. Thats where this sounds like the problem is.

RE: Anyone know how much wind a pop up will take.
The outside temps are cool enough that it should be fine for a few days. We've had 5 popups in the past.

RE: sway
I carried my 920 Lance on a 2000, 2500 Chevy. I installed air bags and Rancho adjustable shocks. The only sway I had that was excessive was turning while pulling out of a drive or parking lot that was raised above the road. Lasted about 100 ft or so. We also tend to drive the two lane highways when possible with more curves.
