This is no word of a lie!!! I was checking into the campground after driving 400 miles today. The truck was running and I reached over to grab an envelope at the entry and touched the metal box while I was touching the truck. I GOT SHOCKED!!! Way more than a shock like I get while dragging my...

Hi All, I am a new Sunseeker owner. My first RV was a 2001 Shasta that I fixed up and absolutely loved but it was time to upgrade. Now, I feel like I don't know a thing! Either I need to replace the truck battery or something has pulled the juice from it. I have looked through my manual a...

Hey all - not technically a trailer question, but the truck is my TV so... Moved back to Ottawa. Already seeing tire spin issues on wet roads with my 2500 6.7L diesel. It came with Firestone Transforce A/T. Thinking they won’t work in the winter here. What do y’all use? GY Duratrac? BFG...

I've been snooping around the forums for a while. Just finally signed up. After camping pre-kids, and renting some RV's with kids, we're getting ready to pull the trigger and buy. I've done my research, but I'm still new to a lot of this and want to make sure I don't screw it up. We want to...

I did not want to take the thread on whether you take your generator along when camping off topic. I don’t take mine along regularly, but would like to do so more often. It’s a Craftsman 2000 W inverter. The reason is that I have not found a way to reliably secure in the bed of my 2018 Ram...

I saw this advertised today. Not sure how viable of an idea it is but maybe someone is interested. Mfg and info website is here. I did not research it since I have no interest in it.

Thanks for all the responses to my previous question about the Ford 6.0 diesel. I'm still shopping for a tow vehicle. I'm now comparing a 99 F450 dually with the V-10 to a 2005 Silverado 3500 with the Duramax. Both are in very nice shape, crew cab dually, similar miles (130-150K) and similar...

anyone have a new GM product with the TPMS option to add trailer sensors? I'm in the market for a TPMS and will be upgrading my tow vehicle from 2013 Duramax to 2021 this fall and wondering how their system works. Would rather not add ANOTHER monitor in the cab since already have rear view...

Been camping with my brother and his 350 for 7 years so I'm somewhat familiar. Mostly looking at used F250 gassers, but diesel may work. 1) Would this type of driving be enough for a diesel? Camping 60-400 miles 5-10 times per year. Maybe once a week or less it will get a 30+ min drive on...

Still in the planning and research stage here. I'll retire next year, sell the sticks and bricks and go full time nomad. Endless research has led me to 2 solid decisions. I will track down a used Newmar 5th wheel and I'll be pulling it with an HDT. Newmar hasn't manufactured the 5th wheel...
