RE: Boycott “No Campfires”
wouldn't be at a campground like this without extenuating circumstances. 95 percent of my food is cooked on the fire when camping and its our evening entertainment.

RE: Deceptive traffic citations
hiring A traffic paralegal can take the fight to them without you don't the work. It will cost you but if this is a principal thing I understand. Will also keep your record clean if they are successful. They will go after the loop holes like radar calibration and such.

RE: Planning a trip to the southwest US and renting an RV
If you are on your third rental might be something to start thinking about owning. my first travel tarailer did 5 years of service for under 3k (including maintenance) Canadian. sold for half that.

RE: TT Upgrade Suggestions: TV: 2019 Nissan Armada
no murphy bed. I have a queen up front, triple bunks in the rear and a dinette that drops to a double. no need for me to convert stuff and given we don't spend time in the camper (I like camping I cook outside I hangout outside I am close to my tenting roots) it works for us. I really wouldn't want to be much heavier even though I have ~450lbds more payload.

RE: Perils of RVing
my shins are good and dented. poor wife came up unter an open window and split her head pretty good.
best one for us so far was when a little one projectile vomited apple sauce and muffin stew through my screen door and all down the door trim I think

RE: What do you want in a campground?
as much separation from the next guy as possible. Ideally I cant see you through the bush. electric is a plus. don't care about water and sewer. having a lake with fishing/swimming is a major plus. being close enough to home that we can enjoy some stuff on arrival/departure day and still have time for the trip is also a plus. not criminally expensive would be cool but I live in Ontario so not likely

RE: Jeep Rubicon Gladiator vs the Rubicon Trail
^ solids are better offroad all day long. undo the sway bar linkages and let the axle over travel and articulate further. google search jeep flexing and you will see the travel you can get. when I had my TJ I had quick connects so I could free up the front axle by pulling a pin. I believe rubicons had them stock.

I don't even have a printer at home anymore. What could you need to print while on vacation worth the space taken by a printer?

RE: Ideas for a truck to pull 6500lb trailer?
is the 6500 your gvwr or the listed dry weight. big difference. also payload of the truck will be your limiting factor here more than towing capacity.
look at the payload on the door frame
my f150 is 1985 lbs a lot of half tons will be less.
payload - weight of people in the truck - weight of hitch (usually around 100 lbs) - anything in the truck/truck bed = remaining payload
take this number and divide by 0.15 this will give you the MAXIMUM GVWR you should be looking at trailers with.
I'm a ford guy and I love my f150 with the 5L but my trailer is a lot lighter than what you are looking at. my truck could do it but that big id be looking at a 3/4 ton. gas or diesel whatever floats your boat.

RE: First TT advice
1590
- your family (going to guess 500 lbs adjust as you like
-100 lbs for hitch
- whatever you have in the car (going to guess 250 lbs adjust accordingly_
=740 left of your payload
740/1.15 = 4933 lbs gvwr.
I don't know your weight numbers but I suspect you are way out of payload
