RE: Where do you put your levels?
Set the camper good and level using a level in the fridge. Then stick on your outside levels.
This is the right way...
Works for me too.

RE: Solution to Trash Left Behind!
We have two campgrounds and people leaving trash behind has never been a problem.
Maybe an occasional can or something in a fire pit but that's about it.
We get compliments all the time about how clean our park is.

RE: Solution to Trash Left Behind!
You gotta be kidding me, it sounds like you're advocating dumping your trash instead of dealing with it. That right?
I thought the same thing. At least justifying dumping trash. :M

I changed the oil, filter and rotated my tires. I do this every 5000 miles.
I changed the oil and filter back in January, loaded my camper the middle of March and just took it off because I need the truck.
I towed a car from Las Vegas back in Feb that I bought so the truck has been worked quite a bit over the last 5000 miles and it didn't use a drop of oil.
I'm impressed and quite happy.

Factory brakes with 215,000 miles on them. I'm pretty impressed with the brakes too.
They're getting close to needing to be changed. Pretty sure I'll be replacing them with AC Delco brake pads.

RE: Solution to Trash Left Behind!
People dump trash because they are inconsiderate pigs, not because there's not a convenient place for them to dump it.
Its their trash and they're responsible for it. Period.
RV parks put the dumpster as far from the campers as possible so they don't have to smell it.
There are zero excuses to leave trash behind. Zero.

There's a lot of people out there that are pigs and don't care.
I pick up as much trash as I can off the trails as I can while out riding.
There's no cure.

I unloaded it off my truck and let half the air out of my tires. :B
That's the first time its been off since I loaded it back on March 15th.
I had to unload it so I can make a 400 mile round trip to get two sheets of plywood. LOL

RE: What did you do to your Camper Today?
Took the Lance steps off and got a cheap, more wife and doggie friendly step..
I hunted forever for one of those Lance steps and could never find one.
I guy in the Lance Camper forum gave me his and shipped it to me for free. The shipping was $76 alone.
There are tons of awesome people out there in the world today.

RE: Finaly got my new ARB locker!
My F-3 fitty has the factory electric rear locker for low speed three wheel drive. No locker in the front. It auto shifts to open diff as speed increases. I can't remember if it stays locked in if you are using low in the transfer case.
This is what I dislike soo much about the newer vehicles.
The manufactures and their attorneys think they know more about the situation that you're in and that they are mare capable of driving your vehicle than you are.

RE: Ford 7.3 gas burner mpg hauling TC
There are still signs to turn off AC on Vantage hill in WA last time I was there,
Maybe they're old signs.
The only newer trucks I've seen run hot pulling grades loaded are the Ford Ecoboost twin turbo V-6s.
Regardless of the grade, ambient temperature or load I've never seen the engine temp in my truck increase at all.

RE: Ford 7.3 gas burner mpg hauling TC
:h Are you saying that's a gas truck ? I'd say that was pretty good economy and longevity for a truck with that capacity .
Nope not gas. Just amazing that it gets the miles per gallon that it does.

This was my new work truck a few years ago and I still drive it when I fill in for the other drivers.
New it was averaging 12.2 mpg and now with over 580,000 miles it still averages over 11.5.
I'd take a new Ford 7.3 over and of the big three diesels.

RE: Used TC: does it have a lien?
https://i.postimg.cc/v8WwM84L/camper-sticker.jpg
I went thru the hassle and got a Utah for my 1995 camper. It took over 3 moths to get one because apparently there are people who work for the DMV here don't know the rules and regulations either.
Every year I pay $10 for one of these stickers. That's all I need.

RE: Used TC: does it have a lien?
Utah requires titles on camper that are 2015 and newer.
No plate on my camper, it stays on the truck.
The camper is registered separate and I get a little sticker to put in a back window that costs me $10/year.
I went thru the hassle and got a Utah title for my 1995 camper.
I like having proof of ownership other than just a piece of paper signed by the previous owner.

RE: Ford 7.3 gas burner mpg hauling TC
Why is gas mileage soo hard to figure out??
It's IMPOSSIBLE to figure out when you don't own the truck yet.
I wasn't asking the OP.
I was asking the others who responded.

RE: Ford 7.3 gas burner mpg hauling TC
What I found funny is that over the Labor Day weekend there was a piece on the national news wherein some "expert" told the nation that gas prices would be dropping as soon as the Labor Day weekend was over and folks weren't driving so much
Since then our gas prices have risen 30 cents a gallon.
I just bought gas today and its cheaper than it was over the labor day weekend.

I don't drive to get the best gas mileage.
I drive to get there.
The gas mileage is what it is when I get back.
