RE: Manueveruing a DP...
It is all in what you are used to. I have had both and got very good with both. Backing up a class A 10 ft with a toad is not backing up and manuvering it into a spot or around a gas pump. Just as saying backing a A is easier then backing a 5th wheel when I can parallel park my 5th wheel and have done so many times with a trailer. Just depends on what you are used to at that time.

RE: Manueveruing a DP...
It is pretty easy until you put a toad behind it and then realize you can't back it up....... Don't forget you need the toad to get around now that you don't got your pickup along.

RE: What to do with bleach solution from sanitizing fresh system
People are kinda over thinking this whole thing. Lots more chlorine gets dumped in your yard by pool maintence and just watering the grass but as has been said it breaks down fast. The only thing it will hurt are the earth worms. If you ever dumped some water with a large concentration of clorox on the lawn it is amazing how many earth worms pop up. And yes it is a good idea to sanitize your tank maybe once a year. The city water is treated and does not hang around in a tank for weeks or months at a time exposed to air. And if you ever fill your tank from someplace that has a well, like most state parks, then you got all kinds of little nasties in your water.

RE: Am I Going Crazy
If you got a toy hauler you already got a bunk house. At least those bunks are at the minimum a full size bed. That is unless you had them removed lol lol

RE: Downtown San Antonio TX
KOA is not bad even though it is in a shady side of town too. The park is nice and fenced. The bus stops right at the gate and used to be a $1 for the short ride to downtown. It is right next door to the AT&T Center and is the closest to downtown.

RE: We're buying a truck- We need 5th wheel help
If you only go to the lake and back 15 miles then maybe, but if you're gonna travel any distance you need a 2500-3500 truck. With that kind of weight you would be fine with single wheel trucks. Any of the big 3 would be fine but that's a totally new argument.

I think the new mascot should be a squirrel, because there are lots of squirrels driving RV's.......

RE: Socks and Sandals
Anybody that ever sees me in socks and sandals just shoot me, because I probably have a Depends on and am drooling on myself picking my nose. Been a flip flop kinda guy since I was little. Wife did buy me a pair of sandals and the dust bunnies are devouring them under the bed as we speak.

RE: indiana dunes s.p...no alcohol rule? really?
Pa. was the worst. Your coozie idea or solo cup idea would not fly. Used to have rangers hang out in the dark and listen and watch us. Then they come out of the dark on foot trying to catch folks with a beer. I think they thought they were Navy Seals. Always thought it was kinda rediculous since when they did it to us there was never any noise or party going on. Just a few people sitting around a camp fire BS'ing. Didn't like going to St Parks and tried to avoid them.

RE: Snow Towing Tricks
Hmmmm you never want any of your tires to lock up. That's why they invented ABS. Ever hear of a truck jack knifing. When your trailer brakes lock it will try to pass your tow vehicle. Yes you want the trailer to have some braking, but never to the extent of locking up. I worked up north for Verizon in the hills of Pa. during several of the worst winters on record. It is a very sickening feeling to look in your mirror while towing 40 ft telephone poles and see the trailer coming out to the side because the trailer brakes malfunctioned.

RE: So FED UP with Propane. Advice Please
Before you go buying regulators, hoses or blowing out lines, first when it shuts down try to light your stove. If the stove lights then is ain't the propane. Now if the stove don't light I would bet on the regulator. But since you replaced it I would look at the gas detector. If it is bad it will shut off the propane.

RE: Rotochocks
Get the 2, not so much for the chocking power but if you use 2 it helps a lot with the movement in the rig while set up. My wife always knows when I only use one, and she tells me about it....lol lol

RE: Front End Mount for Powerchair Lift ?
Even if you got the capacity I reckon you might have to check the wheel alignment. Those things weight around 200 lbs give or take a few but would be out in front of the bumper so would put more of a strain on it. If it is possible to do I would beef up the shocks and torsion bars on the front to keep from bouncing.

RE: Exploding Chinese tires - NEED ADVISE
My rig weighs in at around 12.5k lbs and runs down the hwy at 65-70 mph all day long. But then they are LT tires, don't try that with ST tires on.

RE: Exploding Chinese tires - NEED ADVISE
Hmmmm not sure why they used that size but yeah it is just too small. Even the XPS Rib's are only rated for 2680 at that size. The more common replacement size is LT 235-85-16 for most 5ers. They are rated at 3042 lbs and perfect for 6000 lb axles are more then adequate. They usually add about an inch to the size but most trailers have more then enough clearance for that. But even at the size they put on, they are good for 10,800 lbs, so they should get you back to that dealer. But definitly get them to change them.
