    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    HI Gabe, what are CO's? Not sure a bigger tank would do much...............you are not going to get a tank big enough to air up all your tires and once it's drained you have to fill it up before you can continue airing up. My AIR CTI is new but so far I am happy with it. I will of course keep...

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    30 psi anywhere. It's the speed and resulting heat buildup not the road surface. That low of air I held my speed to 35 max and never got heat build up. Yes I get the worry of the exposed hoses. They have a YouTube testimonial from a logging company that states they have almost no issues with...

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    Airing down is only an issue due to the time to stop, air down - run - stop, air up. Consider an AIR-CTI kit. Expensive, until you compare it to the cost of a full blown suspension modification. Air up and down from the comfort of your cab. Also don't worry about airing down those 19.5.s I...

    I considered spacers as well. I don't need them with the Buckstop 20" wheels.

    Regarding regearing.........I thought that initially, maybe still do................However I am not lacking power, truck performs fine, still runs in top gear....................I have 4.11's. My son leaves next week driving it to Alaska. I will have a better idea about gearing, when he returns.

    That would be nice - our paths to cross. Always enjoyable to meet people with similar interests. Don't think I have ever ran as high as 90 psi. Then I typically don't exceed 65 MPH either. I find slowing down a few mph the most effective way to improve fuel economy.

    I have Hutchinson super singles with Toyo 285/70R19.5's as well. With the Ford at least they don't line up front to rear; they are about a half a tire width off. No idea why Hutchinson choose to manufacture them that way. I never aired them down. On my last trip with Toyo 265/70R19.5 with...

    New Expedition Camper - Overland Explorer

    I am still somewhat undecided. Like everything there are trade-offs. Noisy, harder to balance, wobble/shimmy issues. Can't say how many miles I have on the super singles. I have two different sizes. 285/70R19.5 Toyos and 335/80R20 Continentals. Big difference in size. I have also just...

    PTO uses for travel

    I have been told the opposite. It appears the issue is the invertor/battery overheating trying to push that much power through it. I have dual alternators even.

    PTO uses for travel

    I am interested to learn what new tech is available and more efficient for the amount of power a PTO can produce. I would be very interested in the ability to run an AC in my camper while traveling and no access to power.

    Diesel Stove & Oven Options??

    My update is I don't care for my stove. Gas is significantly quicker; to heat up, to actually cook or boil and to cool down. Plus you can set it up outside. After use my opinion is that diesel stoves sound great in theory and on the showroom floor but there are better options for actual use...

    New Expedition Camper - Overland Explorer

    ahhhh the 3000 dollar question. In general driving it feels fine. I have not towed with it yet. It has a 6-speed transmission and of course diesels are torquy. Still going up a small incline in low range it bogged down and it wouldn't spin the tires in loose sand. IN LOW RANGE. I am...
