I would think foam would be better, not sure what kind.

L96/6l90e My 2011 2500 has been reliable. I had to do exhaust manifold bolts due to an exhaust leak, and an o2 sensor. It keeps throwing a code for a bad cat which I don’t plan on doing anything about. Ive owned it from 90k and now at 170k.

My 6.0 Chevy gets 14mpg highway on bald 33’s.

I haven’t heard of the upgrade. I have a 2011 2500 gasser truck. You might have better luck on a a GM trucks forum

I remembered and looked it up. Post #22. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/window-insert-for-12vdc-fan-ventilation.161467/page-2

Jealous of the cobra. I had a ‘01 GT and still miss it.

Maybe a fan out of balance? Or a misaligned pulley?

You might be able to put a louvered cover over it to keep out rain and snow.

My summer tires are 33 on 20. My winter tires are 32 on 17. There’s a slight improvement with the 17’s. I’m on E load tires running about 50 psi.

I was working on a new big fifth wheel that had no brakes. The transport guy was the one that pointed it out. I wasted some time on that one. Long story short they didn’t connect the axle wires(brakes) to anything. I found the brake wires tucked up into the underbelly.

With a variable load like that I would want it low and close to the axle. If you mount it too far forward or back your tongue weight is gonna fluctuate a lot.

Free internet points if you can spot the problem with the break away switch on this factory fresh unit.

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.
