Just for fun. This is from one of forest rivers higher end models. A micro lite. Careful when you’re reaching for a fresh pair of socks under your bed.

What gear ratio/ tire size? What do you tow?

3800 loaded? And if you want to tow the boat at the same time add 300 for tongue weight. You’ll need a one ton for that kind of payload. Pick whatever make or engine you like but remember Diesel engine trucks have less payload.

Camping World is buying up all the other dealers and changing their techs from hourly to flat rate. There’s no way a tech will do as good a job when he’s constantly watching the clock hoping he’ll make enough hours to cover his bills that week. Camping World’s CEO gets a bonus and the customer...

Yeah you definitely don’t need 2 converter chargers. If you’re not using that third bank have you thought of getting rid of it and connecting the solar power to the house bank? If the third bank batteries are better than your house batteries move 2 of those 6v batteries to the house bank...

The 100/30 I had is good for 440 watts, you could probably go with a smaller one if you weren’t adding more solar. You want to replace that converter/charger with a battery charger? The converter is more than a battery charger. It supplies the 12v fuse panel in your camper as well.

Forest river sells a couple similar campers. The floor is made of unpainted OSB and it’s exposed to the elements/ tire spray etc. I wonder how long before they rot, 7-8 years? Sad thing is they’re still about $25k.

Have you thought about a bigger fuel tank? I think they’re made for other markets.

I saw one of those yesterday being towed by a fancy Mercedes.

We sell forest river products so that’s the only ones I see new. FR has many different lines, some are better than others but just because it’s big and expensive doesn’t mean it’s better. The little r-pods and e-pros seem relatively good, and I’m told the Flagstaff are real nice. The other...

I’ve been an RV tech for three months now. 20k dollar trailers are built like crap. 80k dollar trailers are built like crap, but they’ll give you a 20 year loan. Of course the trailer won’t last 20 years… I spend 90% of my time fixing new trailers that the factory messed up, and they know they...

Only the base v6 and 2.7 trucks come with the 8.8.

Looks like a good salvage yard. I don’t know if you know but blazer brakes and sway bars are bigger than the p/u parts and they bolt on.

I’ve scraped unibody cars in the past because so much was rotted out underneath I thought they would crumple up if I hit a big bump, let alone what would happen in a rear end collision. If cars where made of aluminum this wouldn’t be a problem. My next truck will be an alumiduty.

I don’t know how the LSD works in the big trucks but on my old Mustang GT with the 8.8”you wanted less friction modifier for less slip. Drag race guys would run no modifier, but this comes with “chatter” with street driving. For street driving it called for conventional gear lube plus the...

Minneapolis is bad news, you should have come over to Saint Paul.

Do seat covers take into account the side curtain airbags that may be mounted in the seats?

Too bad they don’t put the 6.2 or the 7.3 in the 150.
