RE: Are one ton trucks classified as commercial in some states?
All pickups w/o a camper permanently mounted are issued commercial plates in CA.
My e350 van had commercial plates when I bought it used so I had DMV change the title over to passenger plates. Saved me 50% on the annual registration fee.

RE: different axel width
Buy skinner tires for that axle. Problem solved. J/K.
Should be no problem with 1" on each side.

RE: forum
Thanks for the reminder.
Last Wednesday March 31st I towed my boat to Bodega Bay launch ramp and went Rockfishing the following day on the first day of opening season at sunrise.
Friend and I camped overnight, he slept in the boat and me in my e350 Ford van for the first time on the sofa bed I renovated with new cushions. The 5" firm cushion was a little hard but I slept well after the 3 hour drive leaving at 8 pm from the Sacramento valley to the ocean.
My friend and I both limited on Rockcod and Lingcod. Sorry but I don't know how (or even possible ) to upload pictures from my computer to share the photos.

RE: Testing a photo upload
I had my pictures on PictureTrail but it shut down so all my pictures are on my computer. In all other sites I belong I can upload a pic from my computer but not on this site.

RE: Escalade/Denali or Suburban 2500
Thank you all for your reply’s. I have heard that gearing would help. What gearing did you have on your ‘07 Yukon?
Also, what negatives have you heard about the Escalade? Should I assume that whatever is negative on the Escalade also applies to the Denali as they are largely the same vehicle?
Yukon had 3.73
The Denali is a GMC Yukon with added Bling Blings.
Do a search 'Escalade towing pros and cons' and decide if that's the vehicle you want.
Here's three youtube on Escalades that may interest you.

RE: Concern about RVing with Our Dogs
Don't bring your dog to the RV rental office then go camping or park at a shopping parking lot and see how your dogs react.

RE: Escalade/Denali or Suburban 2500
Hey OP, I just re-read your post and nothing mentioned that you have the "Tow" feature on. If the transmission is constantly downshifting on level ground then that to me is an indicator that you're still driving in "overdrive" and not in the tow mode.

RE: Escalade/Denali or Suburban 2500
I just sold my '07 Yukon XL 4wd 5.3L with a Hensley hitch that I towed my 28' travel trailer. Had plenty of power even climbing mountains to 6000' elevation. It's all in the gearing.
I considered upgrading to a 2500 Yukon/Suburban but decided to replace it with a Ford e350 1 ton van for the extra interior room for hauling more stuff that the wife likes to carry when headed out to camp.
BTW I read bad reviews on Escalade as TV.

RE: Need to get dinette cushions replaced
I bought off craigslist a Juki industrial sewing machine a couple of years ago to make crab bait bags and a couple misc stuff for the boat.
Fast forward to a week ago when I made new cushions for my van's sofa bed. Bought 5" form cushions from Walmart of all places and the fabric at a local shop. I used the existing cushions as the patterns and watched youtube for pointers on sewing the corners. Turned out nice and all for less than $150.

RE: Running boards + extra step
...this solution would also avoid making any modifications that the next owner of your truck may not want
Don't know about others, but I bought mine for the wife and my use, not for the next owners.
If she's having difficulty then I modify. "A happy wife is a happy life" https://www.irv2.com/forums/images/smilies/flowers.gif

RE: Anyone use a water meter?
Wife and I usually camp for two-three days but she insist to fill the water tank before each trip. We don't use that much water, so IMO a half tank is plenty and as mentioned, "How can one tell how much is in the tank?"
I'm thinking in the following weeks of adding a 12v water sensor and gauge kit that cost less than $90.

RE: Moving an RV ready to collapse
Take the loss and pay to have it disposed of.
+1. Best to pay to dispose it where it's currently parked. It'll cost you more to be stuck on the side of the road then having to pay someone to load it on a flatbed then dispose of it. :B
