RE: Driving with camper windows open?
One dog generally rides in the camper, so the front window and covered vent are left open. The front window below the overhang is well protected from bugs and rain. Dusty roads will cause a shift in that policy, though.

RE: Adjusting tire pressure for load

The source is the Tire and Rim Association, so it should apply to all manufacturers.

RE: Warranty work refused
Lots of people were unhappy. However, they were NOT his customers!
And they never will be. Also their friends and family members. And nowadays this attitude will be posted on internet forums so the group of never-customers becomes that much larger.
Of course, he never applied this policy to someone traveling from out-of-town with an at-need situation. Just local people who bought elsewhere and then came to him for the quality service under warranty.
Of course those who are not customers and are unlikely to ever become customers are cared for while the local potential customers are shown the door.

RE: Centering devices - how much slop to you allow?
My guides don't allow any slop. Not too worried about jack strain, I get more strain from just raising and lowering since the jacks are not perfectly parallel.

RE: Rear Sway bar upgrade from stock--suggestions?
Beagle,
Are you changing the front bar as well? Or wait and see? Looks like you bolted it up to the existing drop rods?

RE: Hard Sided under 8 feet tall
E. Break the rules for as long as you can get away with it. Isn't this what they all do?
So assuming you've found a flat bottomed hard side with no valves or tanks sticking out below, and a good low boy style cart to put it on; how are you going to lower it that far? Camper jacks are placed low so they can lift far enough to load, not high so it can be dropped to the floor. You will likely need some jacking points so the camper jacks can be removed after lowering it onto a a second set of jacks that will drop it the rest of the way.
What does the HOA have to say about fork lifts?

RE: Atwood 6 gal water heater leaking
So far my home has remained at the same altitude while my truck camper has been from sea level to 12000ft. The air gap size and pressure changes with atmospheric pressure, so the pressure relief gets a work out on my TC.

RE: Front hitch receiver
I was thinking about installing one also to carry a dirtbike. I am concerned about driving at night and the affect on the headlights.
Yes. I installed a front hitch, loaded up some bicycles and took a night time test drive. The test lasted all of a half mile. The glare from the headlights reflecting off the rims prevented me from seeing beyond the bikes. I put the bikes in a utility trailer instead that summer.

RE: Lowest gas prices you remember.
I remember seeing some of those low prices, but only after the pumps ran out of digits. The actual price was what was shown plus a dollar; a Y2K warning ignored.

RE: What mistakes have you made that might help others...?
Where do you people mount your air bags? Between the bed and frame? On my old truck they were between the frame and axle, and frame mounted tie down tension remained constant.

RE: Timbren vs air bags
I've had both, but the comparison may be unfair. The air bags I had were not aftermarket, they were part of the factory supplied load leveling suspension system on my last truck. Very convenient to load, just load up the camper and the compressor kicks on until all is level. Not so convenient were the frequent blowouts. I believe the blowouts were caused by the way the bags invert so the bag rubs on itself. Some of the aftermarket units are more accordion style, and would probably not wear the same way. I now use Timbrens. Also convenient, just bolt on and forget. The inboard Timbren mounting location on my Ford increased the sway though, so I fixed that by extending my overload bump stops.

RE: The story of Bear...and his eulogy
Whazoo,
Wonderful tribute. So sorry for your loss. The biggest problem with dogs is their short life spans. I've buried three not counting those I grew up with, and it's tough every time. What would be much tougher, though, would be life without them.

RE: Kitchen Sink Drains
I use 3M 5200 marine sealant. It won't work loose from hitting waves or washboards, but later disassembly (if ever needed) may be difficult.
