RE: Truck bed plug or just use plug in bumper for 5th wheel
Both my trucks came with plugs in the bed (both had the full factory towing package) although the Chevy was a "cleaner" installation than the RAM.
I wouldn't choose o tow a fiver without it.

RE: Florida to Yosemite
If you can arrange it, stop by Caverns of Sonora (sp?) in West-central Texas.
Nice little on-site campground. Amazing underground tour.

RE: Ram box on short bed - ill-advised for towing a 5th wheel?
20% of length added between the axles equals 50% improvement in overall ride comfort.
Try it! You'll like it.
I'll never go back to standard bed.

Moderators. HELP
Why do we keep getting error messages when trying to contact mods??
Go to Beginning RVing and look at user named "24hrtowingusa". Pure commercial user!
I tried on two different groups to contact a mod and got error messages both times.
Great management!

RE: Length and Height
Federal Highway Administration requires 13'-6'' clearance over any part of a federally funded roadway (including state roads with partial fed funds).
Any clearance less than 14'-6'' must be clearly warned at least a half mile in advance and at the last "Bypass Opportunity" intersection.
per FHWA Greenbook.

RE: About painting a 5th wheel
Lets see:::::
Typical auto: 300 square feet. Custom paint $1200 to $1800.
Typical 30' fiver: 800 to 1000 square feet (not including the roof which you would probably want recoated to go with the new paint).
$4000 to $6000 ????
(plus roof)

RE: Advice on handheld electric drill for jacks
The cheapest cordless impact driver on the Harbor Freight wall.. Use it for two years and put it in the donations box. Get a new one. Three $33 drivers from HF equal one $99 DeWalt and you get a new battery every other year.

RE: electrical question
After fifteen years of seeing what inept people can do to campground power systems, I will not plug my unit in without a Progressive Industries EMS between me and the box.

RE: Experience towing w/ 2WD F250, 2500 or other 3/4 ton
My 2500 RAM quad cab, short bed, diesel was great when I had an 11,250 pound fiver. When I moved up to my current 13,500# Titanium I ran across CAT scales and found that I made all limits but didn't "feel" real comfortable.
I moved up to a (used) Chevy 3500 crew cab, long bed, diesel and will never go back.
The difference in the ride quality between the short and long bed wheelbases is amazing if you have never experienced it.
The drawback is that I now have the longest consumer pickup GM makes and some things like parking and u-turns can be a problem. (it has it's own ZIP Code.)

Snow
It looks like there was a dusting of snow last night at Yellowstone, in the high country above about 9,000 feet.

RE: Terrible Trucks
Buy used.
You will be amazed at how many people buy a nice, big, truck and then find out how "BIG" it really is in traffic and parking lots; turn around and sell it.
For instance, look at what is listed at Gibson Truck World.
