    Used 2014 Ford or GMC

    We are about to upgrade our TT (FE RKS246) to a fifth wheel (most likely Cougar or Keystone product). I think that I have narrowed down my TV to a 2014-2015 used Ford F250 or GMC 2500....it appears to be the "sweet spot" on price/options/mileage. I will get the higher ratio rear end (14-15k...

    As I am getting closer to retirement (4 1/2 months!) we are starting to look into cars to tow behind our I 5 30FW for when we take off on some longer trips. I currently have a Subaru, no way to tow it, besides, its 10 yrs old and has 105k miles on it. I read an article in Motorhome Mag that...

    Ford E-450 cockpit desk

    Having gone from a Class A (FR3) to a Forester 3051 Class C, the one thing that I missed the most was a way to use the cockpit area for a desk when we're set up. The FR3 had the typical pull-out shelf in front of the passenger seat. With the Forester, the front seats couldn't become part of the...

    Best shock absorbers for the Ford E450?

    What have you had the best luck with on shocks. I know the twin I beam is notorious for issues. I have already read up on the wandering issues! We have a 2018 Sunseeker 2500TS. Also, I was disappointed that it came with Hankook tires. Are these tires dependable? Thank you

    Ford V10 Maintenance

    I’ve had our RV dealer change the oil on the engine and on the generator, 3 times and we have 10,000 miles on the 2016. I feel weird about taking the rig into a Ford dealership to let them due the general maintenance. I have a hard time letting anyone just drive it. Does anyone else have an...

    It's not only Fords that have problems

    I was on another RV website and found this poor sole with a motorhome on a Chevy Chassis with only 10,000 miles on it. Long story short the engine blew up and luckily he has insurance when he bought the rig. It cost over $14,000 for a remanufactured engine install. So be thankful you...

    Towing with a Ford 5.0 and then a 3.5 EcoBoost

    Has any one towed their TT with a Ford 5.0 and then switched to a Ford 3.5 EB motor? Was there a noticeable difference in power from the 5.0? Any difference in suspensions (I think not)? On another note, has anyone gone from an F-150 to an F-250 pulling the same TT? I assume there was a...
