RE: Death wobble
We have a 2018 F250 at work that suffered from the death wobble. It had just over 20k miles on it when it started. Ford added or replaced the steering damper, aligned it, and recommended new tires. ........ We are at 35k now and it is starting to come back,.
Something else in the front end is probably wearing out. Ball joints / or the like.

RE: Death wobble
Yeah. This is no way just a "Ford" problem. Any truck with a solid front axle. Google Ram death wobble.
Jeeps too (Wrangler = solid front axle)

RE: new mattress needed, any reason to buy from camping world?
Is there anything special about the mattresses in an RV?
Can i just buy one from a mattress store?
You can buy from where ever you want to, as long as what you get fits the space occupied by your current mattress.
Measure it.
Standard queen is 60x80
RV Queen is usually 60x74 or 75
Then there's mattresses with angled corners.

RE: Pre wire
It could mean prewired for cable TV or over the air TV.
It could mean "prewired" but no TV antenna is included. Some cheap, low end brands don't include an OAT (over the air) antenna on the roof.

RE: TT brakes maintenance
If you going to pull the wheel and check the brakes, it's smart to re-grease the wheel bearings and also check the shacles and suspension parts.
Here's a decent video on brakes and bearings

RE: Credit Score
I have 2 credit cards through Bank of America, a Visa and Mastercard. I pay both of them off each month, and it hasn't affected my credit score, as far as I can see.
Ditto - 2 cards with Bank of America.
One doesn't get used, the other one gets used for nearly everything I buy. The charges and payments are such that there's never an interest charge because I pay what's charged every month, as the month progresses, rather than waiting for a statement to arrive and then sending off a payment. There might be a balance at the end of the statement period, but it's all new charges from the week prior. All my accounts are with B of A, so I keep tabs on everything through online banking and constantly make balance transfers to the CC.
My score will fluctuate by 5-8 points, depending on what the balance is when the credit reporting agencies see the balance (and how much it is) on the card.
The primary reason for using a CC card for nearly all purchases is the bonus points I earn. I use those points to get free gift cards, then I go on a shopping spree.

RE: Tailgate on or off
Gotcha thanks, this Eagle Cap 811 is made to fit both short and king beds, so I wonder if I should just leave it off
Earlier you said you don't have one, so in essence, you don't have one to put on.
What's a King bed? We haven't heard that term in reference to a truck bed.

RE: Shutoff valves for appliances?
3/8" inverted flare cap...done
Or
Remove fridge gas line back at the 'T' and install a pipe plug...done
No 'brazing' required as RV LP System is screwed together from TANK to main line to 'Ts' to each appliance...screwed together
All the above.
I installed a cap. Done.
I've never seen propane line brazed. Copper plumbing, yes. gas line, NO.
Like Old Biscuit says, RV Propane systems are generally all screwed together.

RE: Converting a travel trailer to all 120/240 volt electric
do "park" models run stuff on 12 volt?
bumpy
Probably should start your own thread for your question, since it has nothing to do with the OP's topic.

RE: Air Shocks
No mention of a weight distribution hitch here? Come on guys. Come where?
This topic is about air shocks (or air bags probably) and NOT about a weight distribution hitch.

RE: Surge breaks on a dolly
Yes, a dolly needs brakes, so things don't break when you can't stop due to not having brakes.

RE: Anyone ? GM 3.0 diesel
I would stay far away from any small diesel. They are problematic and not worth the aggravation.
The Baby Duramax has only been out for a year (or less) so I'm not sure why you think it has problems.
