RE: Should I convert my Gooseneck to a 5th wheel pin?
I have a fifth wheel camper and 2 gooseneck trailers. I have been thinking about changing the other 2 trailers to 5th wheel but I am just too concerned about my B&W 5th wheel hitch having enough movement for some of the places I take the trailers. If it wasn't for that, I would have already set them up

RE: Venting Indoors
Are you sure that it is the RV vent and not another building drain pipe which is open and allowing fumes to come back into the building?

RE: Generator question
My guess is the oil level sensor also. It might be just low enough to not be a problem on smooth road or sitting still but shut it down if you hit a bump

RE: CPAP Battery for Boondocking
If you can put in a 12v outlet near the bed, this 12 volt cord will probably work fine. Like others have said, the heated humidifier is the biggest power hog on the machine

RE: Needles Highway (too big?)
I do not know how much difference there is between make and year model but our 2007 GMC dually went through. We folded in the mirrors and it looked to be around 2-3 inches clearance on the rear fenders

RE: Rig for two couples?
I used to have a Salem that had a second queen bedroom in the back with a half bath. It was fine with our daughter but I do not have any friends that I would want to be that closely confined with for that long

RE: Finally added the solar Next up, water storage
For extra water I got a 25 gallon spot sprayer from Northern Tool. I took the spray hose off and put a quick connect for a garden hose and a 7-way plug on the electrical cord. I just plug it into the regular trailer receptacle in the truck bed. You have the tank and pump all in one unit and can fill it up at home or wait until you get closer to your site.

Cargo light replacement bulb
I have a 2007 GMC 3500 and I would like to replace the cargo light bulb with a brighter LED bulb.I would like to be able to get enough light to easily see the level on my pin box. Has anyone used a bulb that is a lot brighter than stock they recommend for this?

RE: Please help me choose between these two portable smokers
Interesting!
I am very new to smoking. I have been using a 30-inch unit, keeping the temperature as low as I can and still get smoke. But after 4 hours the bacon is cooked. Does that mean I'm doing it wrong? I slice it up and freeze it and fry it for breakfast and it makes me very happy. But is it not supposed to end up cooked?
I don't carry a grill with me, but I could, if that is a better solution. I have a little one that I got for free. I've never used it.
I don't really understand how it is different from my propane stove, except that there is a little Hood over the burners. Is that to keep the grease from putting out the flame or catching on fire or something? Do I really need both a grill and a stove?
I'm feeling a bit clueless here, but eager to learn!
With the Masterbuilt smoker, you can not get enough heat for the smoke without cooking the meat, whatever it is. That is why I use the cold smoker box to actually create the smoke. That way I can keep the smoker temperature low. This picture shows the cold smoker box mounted on the side of an actual smoker.

RE: Please help me choose between these two portable smokers
It may be way to big for you to haul around but I use a 30 inch Masterbuilt with the Cold Smoke box attachment. Using that, I can get the smoke without cooking the bacon. I cure mine in a brine for a while then smoke it in my smoker. After a few hours of smoke, I slice it, vacuum seal it and freeze

RE: Cost of dental work on a small dog?
Prices can vary greatly but probably at least $500 for just a cleaning. I have heard any dental work can be dangerous for the dog also.

RE: Honda 2000I versus Cpe 2000 inverter
I do not mean to hijack this thread but it does make me ask a question. I have one of the new CPE 2000 watt inverter generators. I want to upgrade my converter but I do not want the generator to rev up so loud like is being mentioned with the 75 amp converters. Right now it just idles with the stock converter. Does anyone have a suggestion on how big a converter I can get and still keep the generator quiet? Thanks.

RE: Recommendations for quiet portable generator
We were tailgating for a college football weekend in cold weather last week and were surrounded by every kind of generator imaginable. Since all I really was concerned about was battery charging due to the furnace, my little Champion 2000 watt suitcase was one of the quietest ones there. All of the builtin Onans drowned out mine so I could not tell if mine was running by just listening

RE: furnace while driving
Thanks everyone. I think I will probably stop about 30 minutes before my destination Friday and start the furnace to knock off the chill before I get there.

One quick question, how many of you run your furnace while towing in cold weather? Thanks.

RE: trailer size and campsites in National Parks
If you plan to focus on national Parks, you might want to consider tank size and room for extra batteries as well since you will most likely be dry camping
