RE: AC WINDOW UNIT
I;m thinkin, with 2 13500s on top, You should be able to hang meat in there. Are they working properly?
If they are working properly, are are still not enough. You can trade them out for 2, 15000 btu roof ACs, and you won't have one hangng out of your window.
Another thought, is install ceiling fans in the coach. May be all you need.
RE: What TV for 6000lbs?
No you don't need a F350, or F450, or even a F650 to tow your TT. Any F150, or 1500 series, with the 5.4, or 5.3 will tow your 6000lb TT with ease. And as you say. It will prolly never weigh that much 1800lbs is a lot of stuff.
Plus in all reality. your next TT IF, you ever get one. Will prolly be lighter than this one. Mine after 9 years was traded on a larger, but lighter one. They get lighter every year.
RE: "Cosmotaf".. ask about traveling in
As to where you live. I live in the foothills of NC, We have our own version of tornado ally. It's in Vale, near Cat Square. If there is a tornado, it's there. But truly they can happen any where. It's just that they are more common in some places.
3 years ago, I stood on the beach at Lake Wood campground, and watched twin waterspouts, about a half mile off shore. However one did not remain off shore, and came ashore up the beach, and became a tornado right in Myrtle Beach.
So you see, it dosen't matter where you live. Nature is not in our control, Only God, is in control. And at this time I just pray he give the folks affected by the tornado, Grace to handle what is happening to them. That he wrapps them in his arms, and holds them close. They need it.
RE: Fiberglass dented
Built foberglass boats for years, was even the "boat doctor" meaning
I fixed them. As a general rule Fiberglass dosen't dent. It breakes, just like, well.. Glass. So it muist be some sort of defect, like the delamination. If it is air under it. It will soon crack like an egg.
RE: Know of beach front camping in SC?
Just so you will know. Hunting Island is NOT close to Charleston. It is over 2 hours away.
And Edisto, is NOT real close either, It is over an hour from Charleston. So if you want to go to Charleston. Those 2 places are not options.
Reality is. There is no oceanfront camping at Charleston. But there are several good CGs not far out of town. James Island, Mount Pleasant KOA, Oak Plantation, and Mount Aire. IF you want to be within easy driving. I'd pick one of those.
RE: Know of beach front camping in SC?
Good luck getting a beach front site 2 days before a holiday weekend.
x3
I doubt even the private parks in Myrtle Beach will have any sites on the beach. It is a holiday after all.
they will this weekend. It's Atlantic Biker week in Myrtle Beach. Campgrounds are never full, and some CGs even advise against coming down because of the event. We went TWICE. First, and Last time all in one trip. Traffic is horrible. It took us over an house to drive from Myrtle Beach Travel Park to Barefoor Landing, About 2 miles. NEVER again.
RE: RV Parks w/older RV restrictions
I have seen a few of these in Michigan. They also don't allow pop-up's or truck campers (of any age). Wow, I have seen some new truck campers that are nicer that TT's, and way more expensive.
I wonder if they don't allow popups because they don't have decent bath houses. Pretty crappy not ot have nice bath houses.
RE: RV Parks w/older RV restrictions
I've never been asked either. And prolly wouldn't want to stay in such a fancy placxe either. We don't stay in CGs that don't allow fires. So we have our restrictions as well.
RE: Finally got my WDH set-up right!
Truck nose looks high to me. But it's difficult to tell with all the black and the shadow
The nose being high doesn't really mean anything. The purpose of WD is not to make the TV sit level, and in most cases it probably won't.
Actually, IF the nose is high. It does mean something. It means you are unloading the steering axles, reducing steering control. and unloading the steering axles, and reducing steering control, is a bad thing.
Reality is. The TV should sit pretty much the same, hooked up, as it does unhooked.
From the picture. It does look nose high, and tail down. But is hard to tell. Big question is. How does it tow? If you have -O- sway. Good to go.
If the nose appears high because of rear end squat, it doesn't mean the front end is too light. Too many people think the purpose of WD is to make the truck sit level and it is not. The OP's verification that the front fender height is within Ford's specification tells us the WD is adjusted correctly.
Uh you need to read again. He hasn't measured it with this setup. Since addng 2 more washers. Said he dosen't know.
But did say it towes well. All that counts.

RE: Claiming a first come campsite
A couple of chairs placed around the fire ring, is a good way, Or putting up a dining fly, or eazyup. Maybe a grill sitting there. You got to mark it somehow, and chairs, grills, and canopies are the easiest way.
RE: HELP! What does this NEWB need?!
Hi all,
This thread will probably start some controversy as people weigh in. :)
I just towed home our new to us 2005 Starcraft 18SB. It is in excellent shape, still winterized and ready for use, but its completely empty and I dont know what I need. It literally doesn't even have a sewer hose as the previous owner kept it.
What should I be stocking this puppy with for our first adventure? Are there brands of accessories I should avoid like the plague? Please share anything and everything a I might need for our small family to enjoy our first trip.
thanks,
Jon
Paper plates, Get good ones. Pots and pans. Get the ones out of your house that you do't use. Sheets, and blankets. Get the old ones out of your house, same for towels, and wash cloths. DO NOT go out and buy any thing until you have searched you stick house for it. If you are like us. All you will need to buy for the TT, is a sewer hose, drinking hose, and sewer chemicals. Everthing else we pretty much had extra of in the stick house.
"Cosmotaf".. ask about traveling in
bad weather. What to do. Sadly it happened today in In Oklahoma. Terrible heart wrenching situations. Saw an inteview with a Elementary child, Was ask where he was going to stay. "With my Parents if they are still alive". He was only about 8 years old. So very sad.
Any way. What to do if you see a tornado coming at you. Some people were found in their cars. According to officials, They were trying to out run the tornado. Folks, You can't. When it gets close, and you can't turn away. The ditch is still the safest place. And it ain't much. But get as low as possible. Not much else you can do. The car is not a safe place to be
Pray for the folks that were devastated today. My hardships pale in comparision to what they are going thru.
RE: What do you use to stabilize when parked?
I should of specified that my TT is a 2011 and has scissor jacks on each corner. The challenge is that most time they won't touch down directly because of height so I have to meet them halfway at least.
So I am looking for best solution for that specifically. Looks like your picture of jack stands is exactley what I am looking for, just wanted to grab opinions to make sure it's the best route.
Lynx Levelers are great. The fit together, and make a nioce platform for the stab to sit on. And they clean, and store easily.
RE: A little disappointed in the price
I thought everyone knew that CW is way more expensive that anyone else. I mean they got good stuff. But they are REAL PROUD of it.
