Oregon dunes
I'm looking for campgrounds with full hook ups and dune access (trailering to the riding is not an option). The family is planning a reunion in southern Oregon and my crew will be the only one that rides, so a spot that is close to lots of other activities would maybe convince them to have it there.

RE: Oil Pressure Gauge
I guess I should say its very similar as far as monitoring. The app doesn't add any extra horsepower

RE: Oil Pressure Gauge
I'm not sure about Fords, but I would think that the ECU would have the oil pressure and temperature. With that said, you can go on Ebay or Amazon and buy an elm/327 module that connects to your ODB2 connector and will out put a bluetooth signal that can then be read by a smart phone or tablet using an app called Torque. Now you will have more info than most can use about your engine. The module and app is less than $20.
Torque is a very cool app. Only available on driods right now though. A friend bought a $20 dongle on ebay and uses the app. Very simliar to my $1000 cts/juice monitor. I would definitely look into it.

RE: Has Best RV improved?
Does Attitude have issues with their dealers not wanting to do warranty work? If so, why buy anything from them. As we travel around the great USA, I don't want any warranty work denied cuz of where I bought my RV. Just saying.
Haven't heard of any problem with Attitude warranty service. But I have experienced (and so have my friends) several other dealers in the general area refusing to warranty service the RV that was purchased at BESTRV.
I guess It's their way to get back at BEST and you for undercutting them. I think they know there will be no repeat business at BEST after going through BESTRV service center.

RE: Has Best RV improved?
I dealt with them this spring. I could go on forever about them but I'll keep it short and clean. If you buy there you will probably get a good price and they have a huge selection. But I would not recommend them to work on it and you will never be able to get any other dealer in the central valley to do warranty work on a RV from there. They simply refuse to due warranty work as I found out the hard way. (yes, dealers have the right to refuse warranty work,longer story, and I spoke with lots of them).

RE: Goodbye AAA
California always has different rules than any other state, so it seems, but thats where I live and I have to play by AAA Ca. rules. I see some people here that live in Ca say they can have their RV towed by an AAA company and not have to deal with reimbursements, whether they actually have or just beleive they will be is something I would like clarification on.
Still confused as AAA has specifically told me I would only be reimbursed up to $300,and that's a good enough reason not to continue with AAA.

RE: Goodbye AAA
From my understanding, AAA coverage is different depending on which region you obtain coverage through. If you visit the different regional sites, you'll see they all offer different coverage names/types/levels.
I see you are in CA, which is the same region I have my AAA Premier coverage in. You can see the terms/conditions here, http://calstate.aaa.com/membership/compare-our-membership-levels/membership-terms-and-conditions
Note the following section,
Vehicles Eligible for ERS Services
-Automobiles and light utility motor vehicles are eligible for all services, provided they are not loaded, altered or constructed in such a way as to make servicing the vehicle hazardous. Unloaded dual wheel pickup trucks are eligible for all services. Service must be able to be performed safely with ordinary servicing equipment, including sling and/or wheel lift devices, car carriers and dollies. AAA cannot guarantee the availability of car carriers or flatbeds in all areas or at all times.
-Motor homes, cab-over campers, tent trailers, recreational trailers and trailers transporting a boat, jet ski(s) or snowmobile(s) are eligible for all services, except towing, winching/extrication and tire service, as long as the service can be provided safely with ordinary service equipment.
-AAA Plus RV Members are also eligible for reimbursement for RV towing up to $100 per incident.
-AAA Premier Members are eligible for service of their motorcycles and scooters, if service can be performed safely with ordinary servicing equipment, including sling and/or wheel lift devices, car carriers and dollies.
-AAA Premier Members are also eligible for reimbursement for RV towing up to $300 per incident.
-All motor vehicles must be registered for highway/street use to be eligible for services, subject to the guidelines above. Vehicles that are untagged, uninsured or not legally drive-able are not eligible for service.
-Taxicabs and limousines are not eligible for service.
This section somewhat contradicts itself. They say that Motorhomes, Trailers, RV's, etc are not eligible for towing services but then below they state Premier members are eligible for $300 in towing reimbursements. The way its written, it seems they won't tow an RV/Trailer if you call them for service, but if you contract your own Tow service, they'll reimburse you $300.
I'm going to try to email them, and get written clarification to this.
This is exactly what I read and what was read to me by an associate on the phone. I also asked about the RV plus membership, but was told it was not offered in CA.

RE: Goodbye AAA
HOLD ON A MINUTE, I am thoroughly confused now. First I was told by AAA they would cover towing the TH (which I guess is technically true, but only to $300). Then on the phone, I am told they will only cover up to $300 regardless who does the towing and I will have to be reimbursed.
So, if I call AAA and tell them my TH needs to be towed (lets say a broken axle and it has to go on a trailer) Does AAA "premier membership" cover my tow to the closest service center 100%?, or do I need to pay the remaining amount over $300?.
When I said unlimited distance/dollar with GSRA, I knew it was to the nearest center. I guess I should have been more specific.

Goodbye AAA
I went into AAA to renew our basic roadside service and decided to upgrade to their premier membership, which I was told would cover my TH in the event it needed to be towed.
After paying close to $200 to renew/upgrade, I got home and started to read the terms and conditions. I found that AAA will only cover $300 of the RV towing. I called customer service and they also said the same thing, which I promptly canceled the membership
I have switched to Goodsam and paid $80 for unlimited distance/dollar towing for RV or truck.
Anyone have problems with Goodsam's for RV towing, or recommend someone else?

RE: Insurance Claim for Truck or Trailer?
The trailer endorsement has nothing to do with licenses in this case. This "endorsement" is a term used in an insurance policy. Such as a Mexico endorsement (drivin your vehicle in mexico) and so forth.
Time to pull out that big ol packet they give you with all that fine print.

RE: Is A Toy Hauler Right For Me?
I really don't think you'll have an issue pulling this set up as long as the truck/trailer clearance isnt an issue. A hitch extension, like you currently use w/ the TC, would definetly give you the clearance you need but I dont know how that would affect your tongue/towing capacities.
A 163 track is going to hang quite a bit off the back of your truck. I'm sure someone here can chime in about towing a larger bumper pull TH with a hitch extension.
Good luck

RE: Is A Toy Hauler Right For Me?
I almost went with the set up you are talking about, but went with a fifth wheel cuz I really don't have the need to transport the sleds from camp to the riding area and 5ers tow so much better and offer better space for the total length. But when I was considering it some of the potential problems I saw was 1.) potential overload of trucks rear end ( may not be a problem with your truck). 2) overhang of the sled deck off of the back of the truck and the clearance between it and the front corners of the trailer on sharp turns.
Some positives about your potential setup, Sled decks rule!! No need to pull a dam trailer for the day trip rides, Toy haulers have huge capacities and are designed to boondock,(our Fuzion is fairly well insulated, dual pane windows are a must), THs are much more comfortable than TC's, and TH owners are just plain badass!!:B
A few questions for you, Are you going to have issues pulling a much longer trailer into your camping areas? How long are your sleds? Are you planning on putting the sleds in the TH at anytime?

RE: Screwing fiberglass
Got it done. Still a little trimming and final touches but it should block the wind a little better. I'm sure my dog will also enjoy his new dog house. I have a tarp for the length of the left side also.

Screwing fiberglass
Now that I have your attention, has anyone drilled or put screws into the exterior fiberglass siding. I have screwed some button/snaps onto the lower metal skirt around the TH and snap a tarp around to block the wind when I'm at Pismo.
Now I want to add to this skirt and enclose the fifth wheel portion but I'm go going to have to attach some of the snaps onto the fiberglass.
I figrued I would predrill and then put some silicone on the screw. Anyone fore see a problem with this.
