RE: Onan 5500 Gas To Propane Generator conversion Kit
I had a propane generator in my 5ver. Only used it once in 4 years. They eat a lot of propane.

RE: Antifreeze
If it has been in there since 05 it probably needs changing. 8 years is a long time.

RE: Two "controversial" questions...
Wonder if the truck could be lowered. When I full timed I liked my 5ver but in WY you need 4WD. It causes problems with 5vers. I have a GN stock trailer but they claim the 5vers aren't built strong enough for a GN hitch. I tried a small bumper pull but went to a MH. I do have the advantage of a generator in a MH.

RE: What type of filter cartridge?
I buy the 5 micron filters for the one installed in the MH from Amazon. I buy a charcol filter for the one I mount on the hose outside the MH.

RE: Shhhh! Quiet that Motor - Ford F53
I think the newer MHs on the F53 chassis use the material to deaden some of the noise. Still noisy pulling steep grades.

RE: Difference between single rear wheel and dually rear wheel
Bottom line, check the acceptable load weight of your PU and the hitch weight of your toy hauler. If you are within the guidelines you are good to go.
A dually will probably give you more of a false sense of security. Last year there was a post and some pictures of a 5ver pulled with a dually on I-80. Dually didn't help a bit. The cross wind ripped the 5ver out of the hitch and down the embankment. The 5ver was scrap. Of course the dually was OK except for tearing the hitch apart.

RE: Best route
There is a grade on I80 from SLC to Evanston, WY. Is your plan to take I80 east to Cheyenne, then north? I'd be more concerned with cross winds west of Cheyenne. If you take I15 to Butte, Mt you will have some grades on I90.
Leaving SLC east on I80 I just take it slow. Use the right lane & flashers.

RE: fridge fan
I like the one with the charcol pack . You can buy more charcol packs. Seems to keep the odors down.

RE: Good bye V10. What should be next?
Most of the 6.2L Fords needed to be ordered out with the lower geared rear axle. Those shipped to the dealers are just passenger PUs.

RE: Protect your Credit Cards at Syracuse Rally
Probably a good idea. However, how your credit number was stolen is speculation. When we had fraud on our account they would not furnish any info to us. Some of these numbers are stolen & sold and used months later at honest vendors. We can only speculate that ours was stolen by postal employees by stealing our billing that we did not receive that month. We just don't know for sure & credit card companies refusing to furnish much info doesn't help. If a stolen number was used at a fuel station, for example, doesn't mean it was stolen there. They sell these numbers on the internet and used months later all over the U.S.

RE: Please read what this forum is about before posting
The software on this forum sometimes has a mind of its own. I attempt to post in one area and then after posting it is in a totally different area then where I tried to post. Amazing. I just roll with the punches and think about my next camping trip.:B

RE: Might be forced to buy Diesel
In Florida you'll most likely have less problems with low mileage on a diesel than in colder climates. I owned the 2000 F250 7.3L diesel in NW WY. I drove it once a week sometimes once every two weeks. It became very unreliable. I never knew if it was going to start or break down on me. It finally broke down on the way to town in the winter and I traded it for a V10 gasser. I can leave it parked for a month, and it starts and runs, never a problem. That diesel only had about 50,000 miles on it when it was traded. I think diesels need to be driven not parked for lengthy periods. JMHO

RE: Carrying Aux propane tank
Not only illegal but very dangerous. Read all the posts. Probably thousands of people carry them all the time in enclosed compartments.
Just a passing thought. How long can you do it without it having a problem? I would mount a bracket on the back bumper if it was that important to carry the extra propane tank. I saw one in the back of a pickup truck fall over because it wasn't tied down. Valve broke off. After seeing that happen I strapped my extra tank down on its side in the back of my pickup when I had a 5ver. The experience of seeing one propane accident will make an impression that will last a lifetime. JMHO.

RE: Full Synthetic or Synthetic Blend
I didn't know they still used break in oil in vehicles anymore. I would stick with what GM recommends.

RE: Cleaning the Gray water sensors?
For the grey tank I us the grey tank chemical. Never have any problems. For the black tank I made up a wand with valve. 30" of copper pipe with cap on one end & hose fitting & valve on other end. On the cap end drill two 1/4" holes on the side of the cap 180 degrees apart so water comes out to each side at high pressure. I made mine about 30 years ago & it works. Walmart sells one but it doesn't work that well.

RE: For all U Metal Detector guys....just a little help
I was wrong about my detector being a White. It is a Minelab Explorer. Quite pricey when I bought it. I got it from KellyCo in Fla.
I have been googling recently and I also came up with the Fisher F2 being the best one for not burning up batteries.

RE: Bed Rail Clearance 2013/F350 2013 Jayco Eagle Premiere
Truck bed rails seem to have changed recently. I see a lot of 5vers going down the highway looking like they are ready to take off into flight. If I ever decided to go back to a 5ver I would measure the PU bed height & bed rail height. Then measure 5ver height at level. Calculate hitch height & adjustment on 5ver. If I couldn't get 6" clearance I wouldn't buy. My Alpenlite towed down the highway level & with 6" clearance I had no problems. Measure this stuff before you buy. Don't rely on the dealer.

RE: For all U Metal Detector guys....just a little help
Bought a fancy White detector about 10 years ago. Only used a couple of times. Some of those fancy programable units really burn up batteries. If I purchased another detector I would be looking for longer battery life over the super duper features. Mine used either 4 or 6 D batteries. Been so long ago. Burned up 2 sets on one day use.
