    RV Towing Rant

    I see you are in SoCal. Ca has a license requirement for a 5th wheel with a GVWR over 15k. For a 5th wheel trailer, over 15k and you are required to have the Non Commercial Class A Drivers License. A Travel Trailer over 10k requires the Non Commercial Class A also. I took my test with a 13k...

    RV Towing Rant

    Also keep in mind that the typical 5th wheel pin weight is around 20%. My 15,500 lb (actual weight) 5th wheel is right at 3200 lbs pin weight (CAT Scaled). The OP's pin weight of a 15k 5th wheel at 2500 lbs is light for pin weight.

    I thought I was bad...

    Not uncommon to go to a restaurant and see everyone at a table on their phones texting or using the internet. I tell my wife that they're probably texting each other.

    Shocks for 2019 F250

    Bilstein. I just put the Bilstein 5100's on the rear of my 2019 F350 SRW (16,000 miles). I kept reading about how bad the factory shocks were, and after towing my 5th wheel on our last trip I realized the factory shocks were not performing well. I replaced the rear shocks after completing our...

    Truck Campers

    Rubi04, I have to ask, how are your getting 14k of payload from a 19.5k GVWR Truck? That truck before you even set the camper on it is going to weigh 10k +-. I used to own an Arctic Fox 990 Camper. Not the biggest model that AF made, but even it was 5k on my Dually. I'll bet that triple...

    Air won't come out of vents

    Go to your local auto parts store and get a 12" length of rubber vacuum line and attach to each end of the plastic vacuum line. If needed cut the rubber line shorter to make a clean bend in the line.

    Military Memes

    My experience or non experience with Air Force chow as a Marine was on Okinawa from 82 to 83. I spent a year there stationed at MCAS Futemna, with Kadena AFB a few miles away. Just before I got stationed there, they stopped all Marines from eating in the Kadena AFB chow hall, due to having too...

    What Are Your New Year's Routines?

    The Grapevine sounds familiar, but it's been so long I honestly can't remember. I didn't do a lot of Line Dancing, mostly couples dancing. I also got into East Coast Swing and West Coast Swing, but never got particularly good with them. It's great exercise also!

    What Are Your New Year's Routines?

    I struggled for a while with the lessons, then one day it just clicked for me. Glad I stayed with it. I wouldn't say the dance team was performance level, but we did dance at many county fairs, and the California State Fair a couple of times.

    What Are Your New Year's Routines?

    Me too. Couldn't dance for shit until I started taking Country Dance lessons in the mid to late 80's. Actually got to be a decent dancer and was on a dance team for a few years. Loved it!

    What Are Your New Year's Routines?

    It does get pretty loud just before midnight here also, but after getting the dog to settle down, I usually have no problem getting back to sleep. :) We're going to Breakfast at 8, probably not many in the restaurant that early on New Years Day.....

    What Are Your New Year's Routines?

    We'll probably be in bed by 10. Got things to do early tomorrow. Usually get awakened at 12 by fireworks or gun shots, and the Dog going nuts.....
