RE: Field tricks to remove inside dually wheel?
I found running ratchet straps through the rim and putting a wooden block centered on hub put enough even force on the rim to free it. Just when I got it free, I got a call that service was 5 minutes out. I'll post up some pictures tomorrow when we are on the OR coast.

Field tricks to remove inside dually wheel?
10 hrs waiting on emergency service for an inside DRW flat. What's the trick getting them free? I have the truck up on a 12-ton bottle jack and the outer removed. Inside is stuck to the hub even though it was off less than year ago.

RE: Ford F250 frame hold downs?
With Torklift, you are buying a US made product with life time warranty. There are cheaper pre-made options but lack the support or are imported to cover the discount. The least expensive option is to build something yourself if you have the time, skills and location to do so. You will be your own quality setter by selecting the engineering, materials and workmanship.
I know I enjoy some projects and others not so much. Consider how much fun you have building verses camping since time is something you will never be able buy back.

RE: New shocks?
If your suspension is cycling more than once after going over a bump, you need shocks. Otherwise, you need more spring.

Typically the filter is on the input side of the pump.

RE: Fifth Wheel Hitch - tried searcing
There are two-part hitches where the hitch head and cradle separate to make them lighter. Anderson fifth wheel hitches are lighter but some people feel they are not up to the task.
If your truck has pucks or a gooseneck to mount a hitch, you have almost a flat surface and not much to push up on the under side of the camper. If you have to install rails, you will need to build up the bed surface to those rails before loading the camper.

These feelings are not just about camping. Fishing, hunting, mushroom picking also are close kept secrets...

RE: Insurance and RAM 5500
Do you have an agent that you work with?
(I'm wondering how to get with an agent that I can communicate with and who understands what I'm asking.)
The sub agent USAA used for Progressive Commercial was United Financial Casualty 800-444-4487
My rates were discounted for veteran service, full payment for the year and no accidents, tickets or claims

RE: A Little Help With Weights
The ABS instructions you posted are for rapid/emergency stops and not for any other braking operation. You would not follow this every time you need to slow nor when descending a grade.

RE: Insurance and RAM 5500
USAA connected me to Progressive Commercial. They wrote up a commercial policy for exclusive personal use. My Ram 5500 is a 2015 model and I pay under $1k/year for full coverage.

RE: Anyone Cancelling Truck Camper Trips Due to Fuel Prices?
Life is short, every day's a gift, and waiting for the perfect time is a losing proposition.. Camp on.
My wife uses the same phrase and we try to enjoy life while we can. We rolled by Realty Check on Thursday in search of better weather on the dry side of the mountains.

RE: TC and MPG
It is the frontal area of the camper more than the weight which effects your mileage once on the highway.

RE: Where have all the Everests Gone
There is Host official manufacturer group on Facebook as well as an unofficial owner group. A new group just popped up recently for the Host Super C motorhomes although many members are also part of the two former groups.

RE: A Little Help With Weights
My Mammoth is 6000 lbs when filled and loaded. If you do not plan to tow anything with tongue weight, you will be fine. If you tow a heavy trailer behind your camper, you will be pushing rear axle limits.

RE: Tesla Cybertruck Camper - 24K pricetag
This specialized camper for truck still not in production brings some hype but we will have to wait for distribution to the public to start before spending too much time on a dream.
On a side note: I saw my second Rivian on the road with new temp plates, so there is an electric truck shipping. Looks to be about the physical size of the Ridgeline/Ranger/Colorado class trucks.

They exist in the wild but you have search for them instead them finding you.
