RE: Ford f250 diesel
I had a 2003 GMC diesel for 103,000 miles and never once saw a puff of smoke, towing or not. Same with the 2011 Ram diesel that we had for nine months and now for the 2012 GMC diesel that we have owned for 10 months. No smoke and no chipping, I have more than enough power to do what I want to do without messing with my engine.
I understand your thinking. Your diesel should last you a million miles or more. However Cat,cummins, Detroit diesel, and all the others mess with the injectors and computers all the time to get the best performance out of a diesel. I dont race mine but with the injectors and tow mode chip it is a whole different pulling experience compared to stock. A stock diesel from factory is at bottom of its potential.
I had over 10 big diesel dump trucks over years with mack engines.
Most had same 676 cubic inch engine but most were changed power rating as years past from factory. They keep making more power from factory with same block. I have been working on my own engines including 3 power strokes and never once had an issue with chipping or bigger injectors. It comes down to the driver abusing the power even in stock diesel.

RE: Ford f250 diesel
I pull with my older Ford diesel and you can bet the gasser trucks see my smoke because they are behind me. Yes with my performance injectors and Tony Wildman chip it will smoke some but it sure has the power to go with it. We never see any smoke DUST in fiver

RE: Advice on buying first fifth wheel trailer.
oughtsix :
never had a problem with the slider and will always have one.
If i have a problem, i am sure going to figure out what it is but I am not afraid of it. We just plain have great times every trip even with our budget rig :B. Again, I keep good selection of tools and some parts but that is just me ;)

RE: Advice on buying first fifth wheel trailer.
You being handy is your big advantage. For 5000 you can look and find a good trailer and just have tools if needed. I bought my first and only fiver in signature for 4000 five years ago and love it. Mine is a 1995 and redid the bearings, brakes lights and tires. I recoated the roof with liquid roof and that is about it.

RE: Removing an air line
Push in on the tube at the same time you push the release ring, then pull on the tube while holding the ring in...as stated above, an open end wrench that fits snugly over the tube makes it easier.
correct - push in on tube and push in on the ring.
My neighbor spent hours and hours trying to remove on on his air compressor before he asked for my help. I had it off before he could tell me HOW TO DO IT :h

RE: Bicycle hitch on fifth wheel
I removed my stock bumper and custom built a heavy bumper mounted direct to frame to solve this problem. I carry a generator and large cooler on a carrier. Any fab shop could do the same.

RE: reciever on rear of travel trailer
I did this five years ago and zero problems and handles perfect.
Any good welder which I am can be the judge of how to make it work. ;)
No manufacture will be any help with your decision.

RE: Harbor Freight Mexwanderer Charger On Sale Today
I bought one just over a year ago and have used it quite a bit. No problems. Looking at the reviews it seems a lot of people don't know how it's supposed to work, or about cleaning battery cables.

RE: Nook HD or Kindle Fire...
Wife has Kindle Fire, I have Google Nexus 7
Both are great but I prefer the Nexus 7 as the Android apps are endless.
Also I have Android Galaxy S3 and the apps once bought can be also sent to the nexus 7 no extra cost. One more thing, I have Verizon wireless and the G3 has HOT SPOT for free and Nexus or Kindle can be online using the hot spot while on road

RE: Chip or Tuner
I have 96 Ford 7.3 diesel with 4 position chip and performance injectors from Swamps Performance. I tow the fiver in the tow position and I have a BTS transmission to handle all the power it makes. I went through 2 trannies before paying the bucks for a BTS but it is worth it.

RE: Lug Nuts
I carry a small bottle torch in my tool box just for that reason. Many times I had to help someone on side of road and a little heat on the lug nuts will expand them and come off. I also have a onboard Viair system to fix flats or just air up low tires plus run AIR HORNS :C. I had 3 kids in college that always damaged a tire or some one let the valve core loose so air could slowly escape. Never enough tools :B

RE: How to hook up multiple sewer connections?
I use this adapter and hook kitchen gally with a grey hose to the elbow and have this other adapter hooked to the kitchen dump valve so grey hose can be quick hooked up.

RE: Took the wife to her first RV show.
why wait :h
We never rv'd until we bought our first 1995 and current fifth wheel 5 years ago. We can't tell you the fun and great trips that we went on and still do. Some day we will upgrade to a newer fifth wheel but not something we need to have great times.

RE: What do you do with your photos?
If nothing else, we have them backed up online such as picasa or one of the many other online storage sites. Makes for easy access when on road.
Here is a quick photo of our small bon fire while camping in my aunts back yard in Pa
