RE: Seat covers & floor mats

Why would you want seat covers? So the next owners can enjoy them? Just clean them occassionally. My truck is 6 yrs old with almost 80k miles & the seats look new.

RE: Tow mirrors

My favorite (after trying a bunch) add on mirror is the Grand Aero.
I just bought a set of these today & towed about 20 miles with them. They work GREAT. This is my third set of mirrors that I've bought & these are by far the best. Sorry I didn't buy these the first time.

RE: Land Yacht & Airstream

Very obvious as to the opinion of the interviewer regarding Airstreams or possibly any type of travel trailer, based on his snide remarks if you caught them. He made several remarks where you could hear him thumbing his nose at them.

RE: 2013 Dodge Rear End Option???

Wait a few months and get the diesel 1500...
x2
Or get the gas 1 ton with a 5.7L Hemi and never worry about pin weight again.
No one has any idea as to the quality of the forthcoming diesel. I've heard it's NOT a cummins, so it may turn out to be a POS. Would you buy one in the up coming months or wait to see if it proves itself a worthy motor. Not sure if the OP wishes to wait & see if it's any good.

RE: Um, So What Does This Guy Tow?

Last weekend I spotted a Smartcar towing a utility trailer down the road. I was driving in the other direction so was not able to get a picture of it.

Elec tongue jack. Atwood, Barker or Bulldog?

They are all priced in the same ballpark so which of these would be the recommended one? All would need to be the 3500 lb or above rated.

Barker Deluxe Hi-Power 3500 Super Jack vs non High Power

Does anyone know if the Barker High Power electric tongue jack with ball screw compares to the one without the ball screw. I see what the ads say but does anyone have any first hand experience of how they compare?

RE: Bal X Chocks?

I just have the black heavy duty hard rubber chocks & am wondering how the x-chocks are really better. I pull up slightly on the front ones them wedge the rear ones in place before unhooking. This way the camper is wedged in between them. How would the x-chocks improve on that? Just curious....
Already covered was the unlevel ground. Something no one has mentioned is that you have to get out of your truck, place the front chocks, get back in your truck and pull forward, get out of your truck again and place the rear chocks, then unhook.
With the x chocks, you just get out of the truck once and place the chocks, unhook. Saves a little time, frustration, and gas or diesel.
No need to be getting in & out of the truck to put them in place when I have a wife that knows exactly how ist done. I pull up slightly on the front chocks, she then places the other set behind the other tires at which point I simply put the truck in neutral to let the camper settle tightly between them, put the truck in park & proceed to unhitch. Works the same way on oneven ground or on boards where we simply add a board behind the tires that are raised on boards for leveling. Gives the chocks a flat surface that is the same height off the groung as the tires. Once the chocks are wedged in, they/we aren't going anywhere. Camping isn't rocket science as some have come to believe, NO DISRESPECT GIVEN OR INTENDED.

RE: T.V.

20" but then again I don't put much importance on TV when camping. I'm there to camp, not watch TV. I can do that at home. The only time it gets used when camping is when the weather is such that we don't wish to be outside.

RE: I know, wheel chocks again?! but theres a new problem!

I just use some heavy duty hard rubber chocks available at Tractor Supply for about $9 each. Why bother with something that needs adjusting or tightening when plain old wheel chocks work without failing. Been using them for years.

RE: Want to replace the manual lift crank w/powered unit .

Seems like a LOT of your answers are pertaining more to tongue jacks than lift jacks so you MIGHT get better answers in the folding trailer forum but:
IF you must have electric crank I'd suggest you NOT skimp and get one with a limit switch. It is very easy to over raise your roof and break a cable with an electric, especially if you get distracted by anything.
Good luck / Skip
Sorry for not being more spacific, but I was refering to a powered tongue jack.

Want to replace the manual lift crank w/powered unit .

I would like to replace the manual crank with a powered one. I also want to get one with at least a 3500LB capacity since the lighter ones often seem to be working very hard when lifting the truck/tougue for installing the WD bars. What would be the best brand/weight rating to buy? I'm looking more for quality/durability than trying to save a buck. ie.... buy cheap, buy twice.
