RE: Hard sided campers under 1500lbs with 6' int ht spreadsheet.
Only issue that worries me is these Ford PTO'sfail around 70K if not fluid not maintained. If maintained, they last on average 250K. Ford says to change PTO fluid every 100K in owners manual but many have proven fluid starts looking like mud by 40K, (probably 10K if towing). What's a PTO?

RE: How bad is it really? TC on a Ram 2500 w/coils.
Not spam. :h Lots of build threads and discussion about campers on all sorts of trucks. Pretty sure the Ram coils have been mentioned a time or two. It's more of a hands on forum and you won't see 5th wheels or 30' trailers.

RE: Tires- LT or ST
Thanks. I have been using the Carlisle Radial Trail HD which is an E rated ST. No problems but they are getting some age. I'll probably replace with the same or the Endurance. I don't think I have room for 16s.

RE: How to search for tires?
You are really stupid with poor reading comprehension. The tire shops always recommended truck tire balancing and same shops said no need for TT tire balancing. You are anal about this like the loser troll Dirtdog. I feel sorry for both of you trolls and your low IQs.
Maybe you just don't understand plain English. Maybe a slow learner in school and always. No more replies to you loser trolls.
Cheers from the hot spot.Prunes and/or metamucil, fix you right up.:W

RE: Tires- LT or ST
My tires are also 225/75R15. A scan of Discount Tire site doesn't give me any LT options. Guess that saves me from having to decide....

RE: Financing Rates These Days
Yeah shouldn’t have gotten political. +1 That's all I ask. We aren't going to change any minds about this stuff on an RV forum. Though I do get the fun of throwing out the random snipe! I think we can agree that politically we'd like different options and less drama.:)

RE: Financing Rates These Days
Shelby, maybe look up the definition of racist or racism and then reconsider your comment. Look less silly that way.
Regarding the rest of that post you referenced, idk what to say. Other than maybe I should have said “some powerful people in our country” did their level best to try to tank the economy and the citizens of the US of A. Under false pretenses of “saving” people’s lives.
Apologies. I guess you can provide some evidence that the VP is a "hoe" other than she's a Black woman. More accomplished than either of us, BTW. Or maybe specific policies promoted by Joe that have "tanked" the economy. Dow is high, recession fears are easing as is inflation. Folks are getting a decent return on their savings. Seems to me we have weathered a global pandemic pretty well. Naturally, the 15 million dead and their families may feel more could have been done. I'm really not surprised by your point of view but I'm disappointed the mods have given you a platform to rant. Back on topic, if people are concerned about a couple of interest points, maybe they should rethink financing a toy. Living within our means is a good thing, regardless of our politics.

RE: Rank your RV issues
With my first trailer it was water leaks. I resolved that by going to a molded fiberglass trailer. The continuing annoyance is hub maintenance. I learned to do it but I resent having to. Hubs on autos seem to go forever these days yet you still have to mess with trailers every 10k miles.

RE: Selling an RV/payment
I've found the thread interesting and timely as I'm thinking of selling my travel trailer and I'm no financial wizard. I was pretty sure I didn't want to deal with $20K in cash but wasn't up to date on the alternatives. I've done some Googling as well. I need to check the specifics with my bank but it seems as if meeting with the buyer at my bank and doing an electronic transfer would be best. Fun to speculate as to why OP is trying to avoid banks. IRS? Ex? Debt collectors?

RE: Alarming spalling failures on 7.3 Godzilla
I'm assuming you use that service and can attest to it's reliability?
Just from previous posts, I'm thinking if he does use those services, it is not working for him. In all fairness, he's not been here that long, so a big improvement may be noticed as his post count increases.
Jerry I'm guessing a disposable "sock" of an existing member who feels compelled to post stupid/offensive stuff but hopes to dodge the consequences. Wonder who...?
Lol. Your interest for the well being of rv.net is noticed and appreciated. But I’m sure there’s an EV issue that you could better spend your time spinning yarns aboot…LOL, interesting that you would be the guy who responded.... FWIW, you won't see me in EV threads anymore. I figured I wouldn't discuss that with folks like you in real life so why bother on the internet? :R

RE: Ram 1500 owners.... tires
What he said!
And then get some LT E load tires if you’re towing anything significant or just want to experience much longer tire life for not much more money.Agree. IME they noticeably increased stability at the rear of the truck with no downside.

RE: Pet Peeves in RV Parks
Old myths. Modern diesels only need to warm up 3 or 4 minutes and aren't problematic to start. Things were different waaay back. On the other hand, that big throbbing engine may make them feel so frisky they need another few minutes to get on the road.

RE: EV alternative for light/medium duty trucks
Nope, you won't find even one legitimate source that disagrees with what the EPA has published in that link. You can't believe in facts and science and deny climate change (or the net benefits of EVs) when virtually all scientists acknowledge it. As for kool aid, it seems to me that climate change deniers often embrace a plethora of other conspiracy theories.Are you talking about conspiracy theories like J6?LOL thank you for reinforcing my point!;)
You should move to some nice liberal sanctuary city like Seattle or Philly or at least have to deal with the c rap of living in a blue state if you’re going to continually bash conservatives.
It’s super hypocritical to be able to reap the benefits of living in a nice conservative state/environment and yet bash everything that it stands for.
Put your money where your mouth is and come enjoy all the things you “love” on the far left coast….
Might change your mind if you had to live it…
LolLOL,thanks but I can't afford to live in the PNW! Interesting and sad that you think you are able guess my politics by my posts about climate change. Maybe ask yourself why one of our political parties became anti-science.:h

If the water came up above the frame, lobby for totalling it. Just like an auto, it will never be "right."
