RE: National General Insurance

Howdy!
Thats what they do. I tried National General. Started with a good rate and did nothing be increase to what you are talking about with no claims. They even promised my rate would go down after the first year which it ever did. I dropped them and went back to USAA.

RE: Gen Y vs. Reese Goose Box

Howdy!
I’ve been using a Reese GooseBox on my 2014 Cyclone 4000 now for a couple of years. I like it and would not go back to a 5er hitch. As mentioned the only draw back is the Gen Y has not been excepted by Lippert to not void your warranty. I like the Gen Y over the GooseBox because you don’t have to deal with airing up the hitch. Some have had problems losing air during travels, I was one of them. I would definitely consider the Gen y now as I’m out of warranty anyway.
You may want to look at the FaceBook “GooseBox owners group”. There are lot of folks using GooseBox and some with Gen Y that can help with truck and RV information.

RE: Zero-G water hoses

Howdy!
I started using Zero G hoses several years ago. The very first one sprung a leak after several months of fulltime use. It was replaced for free under warranty. I carry two 25’ Zero G hoses now and have never had another problem.

RE: Maritmes phone coverage

Howdy!
We had no problems using our AT&T phones in the Canadian Maritimes and Newfoundland when we visited. We did turn off our internet data as it would have been expensive, but the phones worked just fine. Our AT&T phone service covered us in Canada when we traveled to Alaska also year before last. So I would check with you phone service carrier. If it’s not covered it may be cheaper to add it than to purchase another service in Canada.

RE: 140 PSI Water Pressure

Howdy!
I ran into a problem with high water pressure ina park we had stayed at a couple of years ago. I have a good Watts water pressure regulator that I can set the pressure myself no problem. What I failed to consider was the connection to my black tank flush as I use a Sewer Solution and it caused a leak. I now have a inline water pressure reduced connected to that line also. Just something to think about.

RE: Where to store extra Propane tank....unbelievable.

Propane tanks fit perfectly into old milk crates, so you don’t have to worry about them falling over.

I use a milk crate to coil my 50amp cord up into. Makes it easy to handle and store.

Coach Net! The only thing CN has asked when they have sent out a tow truck which has been on a number of occasions is where do you want it towed to?

RE: Gen-Y 5th wheel goose neck pin box

Howdy!
When I purchased my new truck I decided to not go back the a 5er hitch. I purchased a Reece Goose Box 20,000lb and toy hauler is 18,000. I have been very pleased the last year of towing with the GB. If I had a 5er over 20,000lb or for some reason needed to replace my GB I would definitely consider going with the GenY.

RE: aluminum flat bed

Howdy!
We purchased our new I didn’t even consider a truck with a conventional bed. I went with a custom hauler bed from 2L custom. I also did not go with a 5er hitch. I replaced my 5er pin box with a Reece Goose Box and made use of the goose neck ball in the truck. Very happy with the truck and the Goose Box hitch.

I was a Android fan for years until I got my hearing aids. I switched to Apple iPhone as they would connect directly to my hearing aids. Between my wife and I we now own a Apple device of orchard.
