RE: air bags strictly for comfort
You can try a air ride hitch ,trailersavers have a option of a third bag, 2" up and 3" down (I think) trailer floats behind truck ,might help with jarring when they move in opposite directions,but heavy and expensive.

RE: Mosquitos!
nothing worked this weekend. Nothing. We went through i don't know how many cans of bug spray. We sat in front of fans. We moved away from the fans and tried the little clip on "off" things. We had close to 20 torches going between the 3 campsites. We fogged. Oh my word, we got bit up so bad. The kids are all itching and whining today. We toughed it out, but the bugs made it really rough. They were out in full force all day long.
Soaking the kids in various relief lotions and sending them to school with lots of bug bites tomorrow:(
I feel for you, sometimes they will not be denied.

RE: To Fifth wheel from Class A with toad
the biggest downside I see with a 5er of any size, is that you need a monster TV which I wouldn't want to drive around cities or narrow forest roads, etc. I much preferred a MH with a small Toad for those excursions.
Just because he got a lemon with problems doesn't mean everybody did.
bumpy
Ditto
Just how do you imagine the logging /forest roads got there?
Dont worry you'll fit

RE: Miles per day
Tennessee to Detroit non stop on 1/2 tank ,since I got the tractor I can drive 30% farther in a day, not getting beat up by the load is a major difference.
Start the next day rested and ready to do another 10 hours.

RE: New hitch from Mobile Outfitters
Nice,I prefer a cushion hitch over a pin box because it stays with your truck, if you trade trailers a lot makes life simpler.

RE: New invention could benefit RVers.
Well, I would rather have them put seat belts in school buses for the kids.
Agree but heres the problem
say we pass a law 'kids will be belted'
now what?
driver needs a light -first kid unclicks driver must stop,drivers are not allowed to leave the seat so we have to pay for a adult to have the responsibility? $$$$
I have asked police how will it be enforced ?they really don't want that can of worms,fines? who pays ,parents, school board, driver, see its easy to say but very difficult when you dive into the details.

RE: Emerald Ash Borer profit?
Emerald ash borer is a insect right? With wings right .....................?
just saying
a example of, lack of knowledge…
just saying…
Then why are they everywhere?
Jumped a 1 mile ash break between two great lakes and now extend to the limit of the ash trees range,that is as far north as they grow ?
Wind, birds, dirt on our tires there is never going to be a way to stop nature from filling every and any nich it can.
Name one species we have stopped .........ever?
purple loose strife?
zebra mussels?
gobey?
quagga mussels?
asian carp? -hint a 40 pounder was caught last week on the grand in ontario ,and we worry about the canal in Chicago.
Worth a try ? yes for sure , but when its futile admit it and use the effort for somewhere where it can make a difference

RE: New invention could benefit RVers.
I agree about schoolies I drive one ,in the farm country I run, every stop is from 50 mph so aero will help a tiny bit .
What a stop start bus needs is a way to capture the energy blown away from the brakes and reapply it to get moving again ,now that would be a fuel savings.

RE: Newmar question
They charge what the 'market will bear', no coincidence that they no longer build 5er's,they honestly state
"we get more for motorhomes then trailers" for the same investment of resources, not in those exact words but to that effect.
Full disclosure -looking at a Newmar this week ,Torry Pine 5th wheel.

Talking about a navistar engine on a ECO boost thread is like pointing fingers at Pratt & Whitney when a RR powered airliner crashes.

RE: Mosquitos!
In certain areas of Florida, especially during the rainy season, we either wear Deet or sit outside in front of a box fan to keep the slow, low flying C-130s from hauling us off.
this
Box fan ,if deet is not a option use a fan ,mossies are poor fliyers and a fan puts out too much head wind.
The traps are this seasons gimmick.

RE: 5th Wheel Hitches
First question is how much money do have to spend. The air hitches are nice and worth the money but they are expensive. As far as the other hitches my vote is for B & W. American made in Kansas, great company with great support.
Very expensive and even worse heavy,a lot of TV's here are run on a knife edge - re weights, and a elaborate hitch just the last straw.
but so very s m o o t h ;)

RE: 5th Wheel Hitches
If I ever pull with a pick-up truck again, a Trailer Saver will be in the bed. Trailer Saver
Not to derail but how is this different from the TriGlide Trail air setup?
You get basically the same response from either the Trailer Saver or the Trailair Tri-Glide Air Ride. Both will soften the shock to the trailer. It’s simply a matter of personal preference. With the air hitch on the truck, it can be used on multiple 5th wheel trailers and even gooseneck connections with a simple head swap. The Trailair Tri-Glide Air Ride is captive to the trailer it’s mounted on. Either way, air hitch or air pin box, you get a greatly improved ride in the truck and less shock to the trailer.
Actually you get a order of magnatude more range of motion with the air ride hitch over a air ride pin box,plus bigger the bags are the less air pressure you need and again more of a pillow ride.
Remember at about 90 psi air bags are basicly solid rubber.
