RE: Recommend An AC Unit
Absolutely love our Atwood AirCommand. Super cold, very quiet, blows air a long ways and is very electrically efficient.

RE: Are one ton trucks classified as commercial in some states?
Every truck in CA is Commerical unless it has a shell on it. Such a scam.

RE: Old Vs New Rig
Seeing your local where is you your camping and riding? We alternate between Glamis, Pole Line Road, North Marina Dive and Octillio.
Also I vote for keeping what you have. It's paid off, in a known condition and one could argue older is simpler and more reliable.

RE: 1/2 ton cement mixer.......
They are inteded to be loaded at the rental company. They have a conveyer that they load the sand, rock and mix onto and it loads it into the trailer all at once and they also inject the water at that time too. If I remember right the place I've gone too gives you 90 min to get back before a day charge is applied although I've not come close to running out of time.
Here's one I used to fill in old aviary bays before framing walls and a roof to extend the building. https://imgur.com/gallery/1vjyPiN

RE: Fresh Water Tank Replacement
Just commenting so I can find the link above at a later date. Both the 50G fresh tanks in my 05 Forest River leak and have cracked fitting. We lose about 5 gallons a day out of the 100 we carry when full. Probably pull them out this off season to have them re Plasti welded or just plain changed out.

RE: 1/2 ton cement mixer.......
Our local rental place calls this Tow Behind concrete and will not sell to you unless you have a 3/4 or higher. I used 3 trailers worth to do the extension on my shop. It ended up being just shy of the 3 yards so I wipped up some 12"x12"x12" boxes and put the extra in them with some hold down bolts embedded and now use them as rolling bases for a vise and grinder that are on pedestals.

RE: Ford Electric F150 spied during testing in Camo.
Since this is a RV website and trucks are used to tow expect a very short range when dragging your parachute off to the campground. While I would love a EV 1 Ton 4x4 crew cab long bed truck with a towing range of 300 miles I believe it will never happen short of being a hybrid with maybe a small turbine.
Ford will of course sell every single one of these trucks and it sure does make sense for commuters and home Depot runs.

RE: RV Mattress
We put these in all our beds and have zero complaints other than oversleeping from being too comfortable.

RE: Water Filter Cartridge Replacement
I buy the knock off 2 pack filters on Amazon and put a new one in at the beginning of each season in our FR trailer.
You can seriously see a flow difference in the shower with a used filter and a new one.

RE: Toy Hauler Trip Reports
My bike, a KX500 in a Honda CRF frame performed flawlessly. The wife's YZ250 had reed issues unfortunately. She did get to go on a few rides in friends buggies or side by sides so not all was lost.
Gotta give a shout out the the man and his wife that still ride two-strokes these days. Keep it up.
It's all either of us has ever ridden. I started with a RM125 when I was younger but since I was a big desert rider I switched to a KX500 soon after and have had one big bore or another for the last 30 years. My current bike will keep being rebuilt and refreshed as it is pretty much current frame geometry and suspension. I might pick up a new KTM 300 before California outlaws sales of New 2 strokes.
My wife grew up on kx65s, a KX80, YZ125 and now on her second YZ250 which we just did a complete new top end including the cylinder. Up until our kid was born she raced here in SoCal and tbh is faster than me. Lol

RE: Battery Storage between trips
I just leave my trailer plugged in when not in use. I check the battery water levels twice a year, never low.

RE: Toy Hauler Trip Reports
Leaving for Glamis tomorrow afternoon. Will take some pics and post next week. We don't get any kind of cell service out there at all.
I haven't been to Glamis in 30+ years! Post a trip report when you get back so I can live vicariously. WOOT!
Glamis is a 178 mile trip from our house in north San Diego county. We left Thursday around noon and got out there around 4pm. We took i8 the whole way out and then the 115 up to the 78 and on in to Glamis. Btw the 115 is where that terrible accident was a week ago or so where all those immigrants were killed in that crash. The roadside memorial and seeing the skid marks is, well I have no words.
We camp at the Canal, on the west side of it. The area is usually very quiet and our entire group has kids and babies so that's why we go there. It is maybe a 5 min ride to the dunes and just 2 minutes to the drags or Geko Road. The group usually does a kid ride in the morning and then a adult ride in the afternoon when the shadows and definition comes back. Around noon it is very hard to see what's in front of you as the sand is all the same color.

We put a Atwood AirCommand on our trailer. I liked it so much I moved it to our next trailer. Super quiet, moves a lot of air and is electrically efficient.

RE: How long do you drive/tow in a day?
Most I've towed is 714 miles from New Orleans to Louisville. We had planned two shorter days but just decided to do it in one and have a extra day to relax before a dog show we were attending.

RE: Mattresses
Have had 2 trailers in the last 3 years, 5 beds in total and every single one of them had a new foam Tempur Pedic matress from Amazon ASAP. I think we slept on a factory mattress one time and swore them off.

RE: 4 seasons toy haulers under 5000lbs dry weight?
We camped in the 20s at Yellowstone with our Sand Sport and it was plenty warm inside. I think the roof vents and single pane windows which are common among most all trailers are the major heat losses more so than the rear ramp door.
All the water hoses are like every other trailer.
