RE: Towing MPG with my 13 F150 EB Maxtow.....
Just remember .."Where ever your headed it'll be there waiting for ya regardless of how fast you go". My lead footin days are way behind me. Our little 2013 puddle splasher is averaging bout 9.2 - 11.4 the 2 trips we've pulled the 8600 lb TT. All depends on which direction we're headed on those little hills out here in So. Colorado (elv rise 5500ft to 7800). This fall we'll find out what kind of mileage it really gets when we make the big trip up to the San Juan Islands. Only have 4500 miles on it so far. In town average bout 17ish & hiway 21ish.

RE: taking my buddy with me
Our first trip after we got our Beagle, we was loaded to the max helping move our daughter up to San Juan Island so we had to leave him home... Big mistake! My sis & dad would check on him everyday. Well he didn't like being left and tore the screen door off the back door & guess he bayed so much that my A hole neighbors call animal control, so sis had to take him to their house. From then on, the next 7 years, till he moved on to Rainbow Bridge, he has always traveled with us. I'm gonna miss him.

RE: Plastic Sink Repair
Update ... Got the crack repaired (maybe). Took some scrap booking glue DW uses in her scrap booking. That stuff glues anything together. Pushed up from underneath & opened it up and put a very small bead in the crack and let it dry good. Then took a 1 x 3 inch strip of Eternabond Microsealant Waterproof Tape (bought a small strip from Walmart) and sealed the bottom of the sink. Put water in the sink and let it set for several hours ...no leak. Now next week we have a trip with the TT so we'll see if it will hold. Thanks for all your thoughts on repairing it.
Milo
UPDATE AGAIN!!!!
The glue & Eternabond sealed the crack right up.. Used the sink to wash dishes after 4 meals and not one drop of water leaked thru. The only down side is, the crack is still visible. But hey no leak. Thanks for all the suggestions.

RE: Big Block to EcoBoost
Stu ...Great write up. You and I are real close in the same set ups. Our TT axle wt is 7600 & TW is 845 & truck loaded is at 6605 of the 8200. Only been on one trip, first half not so good (had a couple issues with WD setup, made some corrections before we came home) 2nd half was amazing. 2nd trip will be next week. We went from 5500 ft to 7800 ft in about 65 miles. Non-towing #'s identical to yours but my towing #'s are .. 9.5 - 11.4. Have only 4250 miles on truck. If you'd like to discuss more, feel free to PM me.

RE: LED lighting recommendations
I bought these LEDS. We have the doubles fixtures lights and only replaced each with just one bulb and left the other empty. More than enough light from each fixture.Those LEDs have internal regulators and generate large amounts of RFI.
Sorry no they don't ....we have no RFI with these from ledtrailerlights.com

RE: Traveling from Victoria, BC to Farmington, NM
Good evening EV2210. We may pass each other. DW and I will be heading the opposite direction as we'll be leaving Farmington and heading to San Juan island the middle of August. We've been up there the last 8 summers. Don't know which route we'll take yet, but a direct route is from Seattle down to SLC on the Interstates, then over to Price Utah down to Green River thru Moab to Cortez down to Shiprock then east on into Farmington. Happy travels.

RE: Solo RV'ers With Dogs
We traveled with our beagle & 2 Yorkies for the better part of 10 years. We would leave em in the TT while we went in a store or took em with us sightseeing ...never had a problem. Now we only have 1 yorkie with us. The Beagle (waiting at Rainbow bridge) set the bar way to high for us to even think about getting another one + I'm to darn old to try & train another Buddy.

RE: Ford Ecoboost
It must be a serious problem from the article I read on Monday. The Federal Gov is investigating. Of the estimated 400,000 F-150 Ecoboost produced from 11'-13' the NHTSA has received some 95 reports of engines losing power during hard acceleration in rainy or humid weather. No reports of crashes or injuries thank goodness.

Take the door down to a cabinet shop & see what they can do ...you'd be surprised at what cabinet makers can do & surprisingly fairly cheap at times.

RE: Small dealer rant
Water-Bug ..no big deal .. DW drove her Ford Taurus almost 10 years registered with the state as a Lincoln and was still a Lincoln when she sold it. Never bother with tryin to change it. Vin # was correct so No-Biggie to us.

RE: Plastic Sink Repair
Thanks all for your ideas. First gonna try & seal it with some JB Weld and if that does not work, will look into a replacement sink. That side of sink does not get allot standing water in it as it is mostly used as a rinse sink.
Thanks

RE: Holiday weekend
Being former teachers we would go camping Monday - Thursday's during the summer & leave the weekends & 3 holidays for the hard working people to enjoy their weekends camping. Now that we are retired we still only camp during the week & never on a holiday weekend. Everyone enjoy your weekend whether it is at home or camping.
