I currently tow my 2018 Flagstaff Microlite 25' BRDS with my 2012 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi (only 78,000 miles. The interior is in excellent condition. Never had any problems (easy towing/low maintenance) until now I am having problems with the transmission slipping (only on long steep hills)...
I'm very confused.
Our 7 pin connector to the vehicle is stiff as a board. I can buy a new one but our A192HW goes from the 7 pin to a 6 pin connector on the trailer. Forest river cut the yellow wire between the 7 pin and the 6 pin.
As the yellow wire is supposed to be left turn / hazard not...
Hi all
I have recently downloaded the Pilot Flying J app as I plan to fuel and overnight at their truck stops. I have linked my Good Sam’s card, my credit card and my military ID for max discounts. I have also found that I can see if any Pilot location is RV friendly and offered amenities...
What does everyone use for maps?
To avoid low bridges or light weight overpasses I was looking for a good map. Google doesn't allow you to put in your weight /height. I tried truckmap app, but it seems clunky. I tried others but none that I liked.
What are you all using?
I have decided to part ways with my finished build.

I've seen a few posts asking what truck people are towing the 5.0 with. How many of you have 4x4? Do you think it is necessary? Anyone worry about getting stuck in sand, wet grass, etc. with 2w drive?
Thanks.
We crawl in and poke around the upcoming Ford EV to see if this is the most high-tech truck around
Hope this has more then what has been posted already.

I wonder if any of members bought a new F150 XLT and hook up and tow a fifth wheel. How well does does it handle, is it durable, concerned about damaging the truck bed.

Well friends, my truck has come down with a bug.
Not Covid, but bacterial slime in the diesel fuel tank, fuel lines, and fuel filter.
