RE: Insurance coverage?
Good for u., Glad it worked out - Most of the coverage is from policy on the tow vehicle itself right?
Like Xfire said, we have a seperate policy for our RV. Then we get full comp/collision, roadside, hotel stay, etc....

Insurance coverage?
Last week mother nature got a hold of our awning and set it on the roof of the TT. We took it to our local dealer and called our insurance company(Progressive). The agent come to check it out and called us and said he will also have the tv antenna replaced since it was slightly bent. We are pretty happy with the results, and want to recommend you get insurance for the TT if you have been on the fence as to get some or not. Total cost to repair was $746, and the awning fabric was'nt even harmed. Happy camping.

RE: Do Dealers Carry Good/Better/Best Anti-Sway / WDH Set Ups
Dealer should have all that you are looking for. Go with the best and negotiate the price of it in with the sale of the TT.

RE: Flagstaff
Everyone has good things to say about them. Why are you trading?
We are looking at either getting a bigger truck, or a lighter TT. The only dealer we have locally sells Flagstaff. We love our Puma and have never had a problem with it, but the dealer is 90 miles away, and small warranty work would require to round trips and at least two weekends w/o the TT.

Flagstaff
Anyone had any experience with a Flagstaff TT or 5er. We are thinking of trading, and the only local dealer deals in the Flagstaff brand.

RE: trailer accessories are killing me
Pace yourself. Get some trips in the trailer before you return to CW.
GREAT advice. "Live and learn" is a good motto to live by for the first 3-4 times out there. Pen and paper is an absolute, write down all the items you find you need as you camp. Enjoy!!

RE: what TV is oulling your 27BH
anymore 27BH owners out there?
My TV pulls our rig, and it does OK. I am currently deciding on switching to a diesel or keeping the F-150 another season. If I had $50000 to burn, there would be a new diesel in the drive already.

RE: Water pump is WAY LOUD...what is best isolator solution?
I took a pool noodle and cut it to fit around part of the pipe that was banging against the floor. Now the pump is quiet as can be and it was a cheap fix.
Do you have a photo of this??

RE: Thinking about a new TV
I would go for the diesel you may want to get a heavier camper some day.
That might be the key to help make my decision.

RE: Thinking about a new TV
First, Newer diesels have this crappy "DPF" (diesel particulate filter). Yes, it's good because it prevents almost all of the black soot smoke which makes a diesel a diesel. But, the filter(s) even though are "self cleaning," cause losts of problems. Look at the PowerStroke problems with Ford for instance. The new diesels (dodge, duramax, powerstroke, caterpillar, detroits etc...) can not idle for extended periods without the filters getting clogged and the engine's computer shutting down performance. Chevy calls it "limp mode." Basically, the engine drops performance dramatically.
Second, there is a device called an "EGR" (exhaust gas recirculator) on the engines. This "parasite" reroutes 20% of the exhaust gas back into the combustion chamber to be burned again. Yet, it offers absolutely NO engine horse power or performance gain. In fact, it takes away power from the engine without explaining it longer in this forum. Yes, the benefit is again, cleaner air. The sad thing is it makes the inside of the engine dirtier without going into a lengthy detail.
What does all this emissions stuff mean exactly? Well, it means that the oil one must use now is the new API (American Petroleum Institute's) rating of "CJ-4." This is the newest diesel oil that is EPA approved for emissions standards. It is a cleaner oil that produces less
Lastly, and this is a big one: Post 2007 diesel engines have significantly lost the higher MPG fuel efficiency. Why? Because the post 2007 engines have been designed to produce LESS compression in order to clean the DPF's! With less compression (compression is and always will be the leading factor which makes a diesel stronger than gasoline engines regarding torque and lower rpm's) the engine must use MORE fuel in order to clean the DPF's.
. Thanks, you've given me something to think about.

RE: Thinking about a new TV
Is price a factor?
I have a dealer in my area down to $34988 so far on a 2008 GMC 3/4 ton Duramax diesel crew cab LT package. I can get a few more bells and whistles on the 1/2 ton, but I don't use them on the truck I have now. So, price is not an option I guess.

Thinking about a new TV
I have been looking to upgrade my TV and I have a few questions I wonder if you all can assist me. I am looking at 2008 GMCs and I am not sure if I should get a 6.0L Vmax 1/2 ton with the enhanced towing package, or the 6.0L Vortec 3/4 ton or finally the Duramax diesel with the Allison transmission. Fuel isn't a huge issue, since I only put on 5000 to 8000 miles a year. I am concerned about maintenance costs and longevity.

RE: Generator quesion
We run a 3000 watt Kipor and have been very happy with it. It runs the AC and fridge with no problems.
We have this as well and it nice and quiet even at full load.
And I think it was only $1400-1500 brand new.

RE: TOWING A CAMpER BEHIND A FORD F 150
If a 3/4 ton is in your budget, buy it. The 150 works fine for me though.
