RE: Broken rear window
I was thinking Plexiglas as well. Easy to cut and work with even at home. Clear sheets are usually readily available and you could apply window tinting to match.

RE: Are damage deposits at parks customary?
Never heard of this and I'd almost certainly not stay there. Just raises a flag to me.

RE: Poop in outside sink
falcon brother, some sinks do indeed drain into the black tank. Seems to go against logic of grey/black separated tanks but its done.

RE: Crushed F-150
jkwilson, nice work finding that. Surprising no one pointed out that the truck was facing the wrong way on a highway in the original photo. Would be interesting to know what the official, documented cause of the rollover was. And it almost certainly has nothing to do with it being a 1/2 ton Ford. Isn't what's important here is that there were no injuries?

RE: Need awning input...
The challenge may be clearance for the door when it opens out vs. in like a residential door does. Something to keep in mind.

RE: The Horrible RV Magazine
@Good Sam Care Team
Why do you need someone's memebership information to pass feedback to the correct leadership team? This is not, and likely won't be the last, that criticism of the magazine is posted in a online forum. Sorry, but there's no reason to PM you with membership information in this care. Shame on you.

RE: Ram 1500 at Load Maximum Woes
Having driven a RAM 1500 with just a small ATV in the bed I can't say I'd be comfortable with your set up. But then my DD is a 1ton diesel pickup.
Just be safe out there and enjoy!

RE: Build my TV
Its only opinion but I'd seriously consider the CRW. While our SRW is solid, its not as solid as it was with a shorter, lighter trailer. We're under 12k. While I've not towed this trailer with a DRW, I'd towed others and the difference is quite noticeable.
Brand, trim doesn't matter much. Diesel, yes if you can afford to do so. Otherwise the Ford 7.3 or RAM 6.4 with the highest gearing available will get you from A to B.

RE: Turning Point pin boxes on new campers!
Pin boxes are easy to change - talk with your dealer to work in another pin box that suits you better.

RE: Incline Parking Tips
abmatos714, I actually fully extend the landing gear, nearly raising the front axle off the ground and I'm still several inches low to the front. I can easily park a sedan under the king pin of the 5ver its up so high. Ideal, no but its secure and works. Storage is prohibitively expensive here.

RE: Incline Parking Tips
We use 6x6 treated lumber cut as chocks. With a large 5th on a driveway MUCH steeper than that. Use the good chocks, allow trailer to settle against them as part of unhitching. Level the rig and move on. If concerned use chocks on the downhill side of each wheel.
Enjoy your new house!!!

RE: 2008 F250 with 5.4
They do the job. Just have reasonable expectations of it.
Had a friend follow me across I-80 & 90 from NJ to SD driving on of those towing a ~6000 TT. I had a 9500# 5th behind my 13' PSD. Simply put they could not keep up. We swapped positions and I followed. Slowly. A v10 of that vintage would be much stronger. I've towed a large 5th with one, it did reasonable well.
So staying local, acceptable. Long distance or mountainous terrain... pass. JMO.

RE: How many miles a day can we go?
We'll do 800 miles in a day. Its not ideal, but with limited days away from work its a choice. Tougher with kids now. How long/far is really a personal thing. Even related to your rig as mentioned. Only YOU can decide what YOUR comfortable with.
Of course this year the wheels are not doing much turning. Fingers crossed for next season.
