RE: Sisters, Or dispersed camping
Well, since you are new to Oregon...first trip probably should be to wander up and down the Oregon Coast.
It's a must do RV destination.
Welcome to Oregon and to the Forum.

RE: Performance Chips for GMC
Chuckle all you want, but it is not rhetoric, here it is from the Federal Trade Commission.. Whether it is called the Moss-Magnuson Act or not, it is not legal for a dealer to refuse warranty work, unless an after market product causes damage to a warranted part....then they "may have" the "right" to refuse warranty service.
Understanding the Moss-Magnuson Act

Fair or not...you and I are little guys. GM, Ford, are VERY big guys and they have buildings full of lawyers. Do you? Are you willing to spend the money and time on a long drawn out fight..
My bet is that they would wear you down and win..."Warranty claim denied."

RE: Testing Carbon Monoxide Detector
Carbon Monoxide test kits are available. I have also heard that lighting a match, blowing it out and then holding it near the unit will trigger an alarm as a test...

RE: ST or LT tires?
Wow..are you saying that your 19,000 lb. trailer came with ST tires? I guess they can get away with it because it has 3 axles and also some of the weight goes on your truck.
But,.... I still would not run any ST tires on a rig that heavy.

RE: Performance Chips for GMC
GoPackGo you are right on the money. I always get a chuckle when the arm chair lawyers chime in with the Moss Magnuson - "they have to prove that...bla, bla, bla," rhetoric.
My feeling is that IF you think you absolutely must program/chip your engine...wait until it's out of warranty..
Once out of warranty it's completely your truck - not partly theirs.

RE: marcus lemonis
Banks do the same thing. Offer perks and higher savings interest rates to NEW customers..long time existing customers don't get the same perks and are getting lower savings rates.

RE: Car Enthusiasts ....
Great cars...my sister has one. I love driving it... but it's really expensive to have ANY work done on it.
Also, check the availability of qualified shops and techs in your area. You may have to drive a long way to find someone that can "really" work on it.

RE: Performance Chips for GMC
The big "gotcha" you might have to worry about is that chipping your 2012 truck may void your warranty.
Also, you will see no mileage gains.
Unless you really know what you are doing (being a gearhead), I'd skip this idea.
My advice. If your truck isn't doing the job, maybe consider a different truck.

RE: When to use water pressure regulator on fiver?
Use it every time. A pressure regulator will not drop the pressure lower than what it is set for.
i.e...I have mine set for 45 psi. If the camp pressure is 60, I will get 45. If the camp pressure is 36, I will get 36.

This is a pretty good read and worth looking at:

Not sure if our government has much control over many of the factors.

RE: 2013 Ford Explorer
We towed a Fleetwood/Coleman tent trailer (Sea Pine) for years with our Explorer. Have lots of good memories, but got tired of dealing with wet tent ends (live in the NW).
When we went to a hard sided trailer, we had to get a bigger tow vehicle.

RE: Why is gas 60 cents more in same state
What you experienced has nothing to do with the oil companies and all to do with what taxes are added on to gas by LOCAL governments - often different county to county within the same state...
We live in the WA State. There is Federal taxe on gas, added on is the state tax on gas, add on any local gas taxes that are often different county to county and there you have the differences in gas prices even within the same state.
...and of course, each gas station can set their own price per gallon.

RE: Travel Trailer
Welcome to the Forum...
What are you trying to carry that would need this set up? What you are proposing sounds like you are almost wanting to 'double tow' which is not legal in many states.
Over the years we have learned to travel light and simplify. It's more relaxing that way (for us). If it can't fit in the bed of the truck or in the existing storage compartments then we don't need to bring it along.

RE: Pimples in wall paper
A picture would really help...
But, I'll take a guess.
Worse case: a leak- meaning that the wall behind the paper is compromised...bad news.
Better case: the wall paper has been damaged by repeated condensation from the inside thus no 'real damage.'
Or: the wall paper was not applied properly in the first place. What year is your trailer?
Again, try to post a picture or two.
