RE: rear kit vs rl
Our 2012 Montana 3585SA is a rear kitchen and we love it. We have not had any problems with cabinets/drawers opening and things falling and getting broken. We are full timing and previous Montana was a 3400RL. It was ok, but like this plan MUCH better. The kitchen and the living area both seem to be more spacious and we have a lot of counter space. RKs get a bad rap and are not popular. Montana discontinued our model this year. Glad we got ours when we did! :B

RE: hitch blocked by another trailer
If the OP can't hook it with 10 feet of room, he certainly doesn't need to be pulling it down the street or highway! :R

RE: Pullrite Super 5th with Industry standard rail mount
Yes. I just last week installed a B & W Patriot on my Reese "industry standard" rails that were already in the truck. Works perfect and a GREAT hitch! Sold my Reese hitch this morning and will NEVER own another one.

RE: Bicycle stolen at Sam Town Las Vegas
Kind of wish our bikes get stolen so I don't have to haul the damn things back home...
Bikes are cheap.
Ours aren't cheap! You get what you pay for.

RE: Suspension Air bags
My firestones worked well, but only lasted 2 years. Replaced with Timbrens at the advice of an owner of a snow plow business. He was right...love my Timbrens!
Why did you pay to replace them?- they have a lifetime warranty. Just about every air suspension semi tractor you see uses the very same Firestone bags. I suspect you may have had AirLift- not Firestone.
They were Firestones without question. One of them developed a leak in the bag while quite a distance from home. Did not have the time to worry with warranty hassles. Not so sure mine had lifetime warranty. Still stand by my decision to go with Timbrens.
BTW, I drove OTR for 20 years on many trucks with airbags. Yes, they had Firestones, but MUCH better quality than one puts on a pickup.

RE: Dropped trailer on truck
The issue here is age. Some of you guys are too old to remember to hook your rig up properly before you head out. Anyone older than 55 should have a second opinion on whether they are road ready or not before they head out. Dropping your rig on your truck is just age related. I turn 55 next Sunday so I will be looking for help hooking up my rig after that.Finally, a rational explanation. :)
My view exactly. I do all the hooking up, but my DW is very capable and does a second visual check behind me. Works for us.

RE: Vacuums
Small Dirt Devil from Wally World works GREAT for us. Much better than the built-in we had. Cost $29.00.

RE: Different Hitch ??
Thanks BB, I read where the better ones will protect transmission wear and tires, etc. But not sure about those claims.
Hmmm...interesting
To me that sounds like a hitch manufacturer claim. You have a nice fiver and truck...don't scrimp on the hitch!
Years ago my Dad did an EXCELLENT job of rebuilding a 1930 Model A Ford, but got cheap on the paint job. What a disappointment for him. Just saying.

RE: hitch and pin gap or sizes
There's a good chance he will find the problem when he gets where he's going and damages the back of his truck cab while backing in the site. Can't believe he did not notice it right away! :E

RE: Use of Cinder Blocks
Would NEVER trust them. 30 years ago knew a guy who "supported" a car with them while he removed the transmission. Blocks crumbled. Closed casket service!

RE: Fantastic fan, a mind of its own ???
it was suggested to me to clean the rain sensor, this worked great for about a year, now the same problem is back
Cleaned the sensor a year ago? Clean again. Things don't stay clean forever!

RE: Long Box vs Short Box
Since you are looking for pre-owned, keep in mind that long beds have larger gas tanks than reg beds. Compare size of 36 gallons vs. 26 gallons. If looking for a gasser, they get about 7 MPG towing. So the range could be less than 200 miles.
Not totally accurate. My 2007 Ram QC Short Bed has a 34 gal fuel tank standard.

RE: Double pulling
OK... lets clarify. These type of posts regarding towing multiple units seem to have misconceptions. First, tow vehicle(truck), trailer(first tow), trailer(second tow)equals DOUBLE TOWING. Add another trailer(third tow) equals TRIPLE TOWING.
I have seen a number of RVs DOUBLE TOWING, never saw one TRIPLE TOWING. I have only been full time since since 1996, so I may have missed one. Some seem to add the tow vehicle as being "towed".
Jim
I agree that the terminology is confusing, but check the Good Sam / Woodall's towing laws. One tow vehicle with two trailers is referred to as Triple Towing.
Randy
Good Sam/Woodalls THINK they are God, but they aren't! They do not write the towing laws, DOT does! Tow vehicle with 2 trailers is DOUBLE towing....tow vehicle with 3 trailers is TRIPLE towing. The tow vehicle is not being towed.
