RE: Open Range Residential
We looked at a residential model. Liked the floorplan, but the large refrigerator is 120AC Volts only. Too bad, it should be gas/electric.

RE: Atlanta near the Airport?
Atlanta South RV Resort is 17 miles from the airport.
It's not actually a resort, but if you need a place to base while working, this will work.

RE: weather station
We have a LaCrosse weather station at home with 3 sensors. Kind of like this one:
http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/9013/index.php
The one in the fiver we got from CW with a single outside wireless sensor.
Both work great, though I miss my old 18" diameter thermometer hung on a tree outside the kitchen. Squirrels knocked it down and broke it.

Intereting reading if you go down to some of the older reviews which were written this past Summer.
I agree with the suggestion of staying at Jekyl Island CG.

RE: Brakes and Steering, am I being taken?
You are driving a 15 year old vehicle, I could see the brakes and the steering components you mentioned needing replacement.
Option 1) Why not let them perform the repairs and request the old parts? You could have them show you the cracks in the rotors & pads, the worn rear shoes and the worn steering components before they do the repairs.
Option 2) Go to this website and search for a mechanic in your area:

Option 3) Go to this website and search for an RV repair shop:

RE: Change fuel filter on Cummins 6.7
I like the idea of covering it with a garbage bag before removing it. Be sure to wear something you don't mind throwing away afterwards. I got fuel all down my arms into my armpits. I smelled like a diesel pump. Mine was on very tight, too.
Good luck.

RE: Chucking and Freeway Hop
I agree, put a little more weight on the hitch.
There are a few air ride hitches that will help. i.e. Mor-Ryde or Airborne by Reese.
As for the trailer tire pressures, run them at the maximum pressure allowed on the sidewall if they are ST tires.

RE: What are the best-- Best valued tire?
Your fiver looks as though it might have 15" ST tires.
The ST tire that is spoken of highest on here is Maxxis.
Goodyear Marathon ST tires are now made in the USA, but I would look at the sidewall and confirm this before buying them.
Many will suggest going to 16" LT tires, but it would be a bit more expensive.
Regardless of what tires you get, have them balanced and install steel valve stems.

RE: Rt 66
We drove on sections of Rt.66 in OK, TX, & NM towing our fiver.
Yes, it can be done. As already mentioned, the trick is finding and staying the original road.
We met 3 Class C rentals traveling together who drove from L.A. on Rt. 66, heading for Chicago. Met them in Texas. They said it was an interesting drive, so far. They were from Great Britain.
Good luck, stop as often as possible to enjoy the roadside attractions, and have fun.

RE: 1998 Toyota Tacoma 4wd Automatic with Lock Out hubs
Toyota states that the Tacoma should not be towed 4 down, 4X4 or 4X2.
You can go to the Remco website and check on transmission pumps.

RE: New truck?
If you've been satisfied with your Tundra and just want to go bigger, why not get another Tundra, 2007-2010? It will definately handle your trailer.
Asking which truck you should buy on this forum will get you so many suggestions that you will end up being more confused than ever.

RE: Troubleshooting Batteries and Load with an Ammeter
Yes. You can remove a fuse and connect your Ammeter in series at the fuse block to check the current draw of that paticular circuit.

RE: Question on outside speakers?
Why not remove one and visit your local auto stereo shop, Best Buys, or marine supply store.
Match it up with a marine speaker. Try to get one that has the same Ohms reading as yours. Don't bother upgrading to a super size 100W speaker because your radio amplifier probably won't handle it...unless that's what's in there now.
As already mentioned, they are a little more pricey than the regular speakers, but look what they have to go through.
As for the square screw head, that's a common screw used on RV's. You can get a square bit at your local hardware store or Lowe's.
Good luck.

RE: Need help with wheel/rim rating (PSI) on new Keystone
As JJBIRISH said, your aluminum rims are probably not rated by PSI, but rather their load capacity.
Installing the Kumhos should not be a problem because you're not increasing the load weight you're putting on them, just the pressure.
You might also consider installing steel valve stems and having the new tires balanced. It is definately worth the extra peace of mind.

RE: Picked up fiver and made 1st mistake
As a rough rule of thumb, you're safe to have about 5-6" between the bed and trailer.
Is the trailer level when hitched?
You might also want to get an owner's manual online for your hitch to see what maintenance is required and operarting procedures.
