RE: When to use water pressure regulator on fiver?
Here is a question.. they say that the regulators max the pressure at 40-45 psi.... what is the safe max pressure ? according to the video I just watched by Valterra.. the old trailers are rated at 45-45psi... and the newer trailers are rated for 100psi but they recommend no more than 60 psi....?? mine is adjustable and being of the older school of thought... I set it at 40...with low water pressure

RE: When to use water pressure regulator on fiver?
What type of Watts regulator do most of you guys use? Is this something I can purchase at Lowes or HD?
Picked mine up at Grainger

RE: When to use water pressure regulator on fiver?
I too use one now all the time... Got full of myself and skipped it a few times last year... Got to a CG that evidently had very high pressure and DW saw the warning signs but did not think I needed to know.. Sprung a leak...won't forget mine again !!! Like already stated.. If it is high.. It will lower it... If it is low..it will stay low..Joe

RE: Use of Cinder Blocks
It has been MY personal experiance that the farther the legs are extended ,the more room for movement you have. The More tube you have inside the other , the more stable it is. Is it enough to make a difference ?? In my little mind it is!:B Joe

RE: New iPhone 5 apps
I just checked WAZE out. I like that it uses input from travelers and is constantly updated. We use diesel so that alone will be helpful, also for propane. Thanks. And, it's free.
Any Ford truck apps worthy of using?
Not that I am aware of.... but I also have the following free apps:
Book your site - RV campqround finder
Tornado - It will use your location and send alerts directly to your phone when any warnings happen in your area(Not just tornados)
Co-Pilot live
My Radar
AFree level -love it !
Woodalls
Redbox
CNN
Skype
My pilot
Loves truck stop
Tide data free - if you fish

RE: New iPhone 5 apps
I use one called WAZE.. It is a free app that is updated by users realtime.. just log on and it will tell you all kinds of things on your route.. police (hidden or visible), hazzards,,construction,,It will pop up on your phone or speak to you if your linked blue tooth.. tell you what is ahead about a mile or so ahead of time... once there either hit not there and it will go away for the next user,, or hit thanks and it will stay there until someone hits not there. You can also use it as a map program and it will tell you all the traffic and stuff in your way.Program in what type of fuel you use and it will save that and look for it for when asked.. My IT guy gave it to me and I use it every day

RE: Long Box vs Short Box
Since you are looking for pre-owned, keep in mind that long beds have larger gas tanks than reg beds. Compare size of 36 gallons vs. 26 gallons. If looking for a gasser, they get about 7 MPG towing. So the range could be less than 200 miles.
Not totally accurate. My 2007 Ram QC Short Bed has a 34 gal fuel tank standard.
For the earlier Ford's it is correct..
Short Box = 29 gallon
Long Box = 36 gallon
When I had my V-10 shortbox pre 2006 I was going about 150/175 miles on a tank

RE: How to mount a flat screen tv outside
I keep a 32" in my basement.. I set it up at the cargo door on top of a small box so it is raised up a little ,I ran a Cable from the utilities hook up hatch , threw the basement and keep it coiled up near the door. When I am done watching I simply close the door and lock it.... Or take it inside with me...I did not want to hang any mounts on the outside of my trailer..Joe

RE: Miles per day
Our miles/hours have also changed to the lesser side as we aged a bit. We used to run from Tampa to just north of Richmond VA the first day,, not anymore. It all depends on the traffic flow and family mood! We now decide as we drive and don't push like we used to,, I guess a rule of thumb could be that we try for 400/600 or 8/10/12 hours at the very most depending on stuff..Joe

RE: Awning question
Magic erasers with very little rubbing will clean any awning stain.... Just be. Careful not to rub too hard... And I keep mine closed until I see it dirty when camping , at that time when I get back home I unroll it , clean it , let it dry , roll it back up...no sense keeping it out all the time , just more of a target for birds and such...Joe

RE: My CampingWorld Experience So Far....
They must be doing something right ... If they screwed up every sale , service work order,and phone call like stated , how are they still in business? I believe that MOST of what they do is good , the issue with US is that we go out of our way to vent about someone when we feel as though we were not treated proper,, but don't treat the everyday normal business the same way.It is just the way we are......
