RE: Ideas for a truck to pull 6500lb trailer?
Just go ahead an get a 2500 / f250 diesel and you won't have to worry about weights, and can still tow a heavier trailer WHEN the need arises,,,and it will.
This. Because many (not all, but many) RV'rs end up months or a year later coming back to the forum asking about upgrading a truck because now they want a 5th wheel or a truck camper. Getting a bigger truck first allows you to tow the current TT easily and safely without worry. New diesel trucks are very easy to maintain, just like gas trucks. DEF is like filling windshield fluid; very easy to do. The power and towing capacity of diesel, and especially the exhaust brake systems, are overwhelmingly beneficial.
But, a lot of people can not afford the additional costs of diesel (3500 is minimal cost difference to 2500 but definitely worth it). I was given this advice and got a 3500 even though I didn't need it at the time. After getting a 5th wheel I additionally bought a truck camper so I could camp and tow my boat. I have a choice I didn't think about when I first bought my truck.
Good luck whatever you decide.

RE: New trailer (almost)
T and that your going to contact an attorney, see what that does to the conversation.
Jay D.
My advice is against saying you'll get an attorney involved. In my business if someone says either of the "A" words (one being attorney) then I quit speaking to them and let my attorney get involved if/when we get a letter. Once you elevate the conversation to attorney then they may just sit back and not do anything. More flys with honey, as they say. Be polite, firm and respectful is my motto.
Good luck

RE: Looking for dog breed the travels well while Rving
Look at Cavaliers, they were bred to be lap dogs. Small and easy to please disposition. With any dog you decide on, get a professional trainer and it’ll make a world of difference!

RE: Camping World Terrible Customer Service
Be aware, it may be in the fine print that any refund from cancellation could be posted at the back end of the loan (if you did a loan). Meaning, you won't see a refund as it just lowers the final payment(s) by the amount of the contracts.

RE: 2011 Open Range Roamer RF316RLS
i have a 13' and had what they call frame flex at the front side caps. fixed under warranty but i can still see some flexing. The cable system is OK but they put weak switches in before 14' so you'd have to check for that upgrade. Overall I'm happy with my unit. If the owner kept up on maintenance then I'd say get it if you like the layout.

RE: Air Conditioner leaking inside...questions
The secondary thing you could do is next time someone gets on this forum asking if extended warranties are worth it; tell them your story. I also fell for the extended warranty sale and luckily was able to get a refund after just a few months when I had an issue and they found a reason to deny the claim. Good luck on finding your leak.

RE: Considering getting a truck camper
You will VERY limited on what truck camper you will be able to carry on that truck. Pretty much a tent on the truck bed.

RE: How to value trade?
Dealers offer low prices so they can sell it and make a profit. If you want what you think it's worth then you will need to endure the headache and sell it yourself. Dealers know what you will have to deal with and try to make as much profit as possible. That's why they lowball everyone.

RE: Chevy 1500HD vs. 2500
A pop up small trailer vs a nice TT with lots of room and amenities. That’s the difference between the two trucks.

RE: new TT what do you change first if anything?
If I have the spare money the first thing I do is swap out the tires to a better quality set. You can still sell the take off tires as long as they are new to recoup some of the money spent.
This! Manufacturers go with the lowest bid on tires and then get your money again when you have a blow out and there’s fender damage. Higher rated load range tires will give you peace of mind.

RE: 1/2 Ton Towable 5th Wheel
3) We have a 2018 Ford F-150 3.5L Ecoboost truck SPECIAL ORDERED (i.e. NOT off a dealer's lot) with max towing and heavy-duty payload packages. Payload capacity of just over 2500 lbs..
There you have it; it can be done if you change your half ton truck into a 3/4 ton truck.

RE: Have I Made A Mistake.....
I doubt you can return the TT; the bank owns it if you financed it. And, if you financed it, look at the fine print; you may get your money back for the service plan at the BACK end of the loan and not an immediate refund. (Ask how I know...)
Keep the pressure on and document all your'e doing because every day you don't cancel is more money in their pocket. Good luck
