RE: giving it up
At 76 years, I'm getting very close. The bending over to hook everything up about kills me. Been getting some new equipment to try and stretch this out a little longer. Got an electric cord reel, a new soft water hose that's very easy to roll up and I'm looking at some sewer hose options. Going down to 20# propane tanks from the 30# it has so I can lift them. Longer hand railing on the steps. Auto level is a blessing. I guess it's all about adapting.

RE: Forest River
Cougar is a Keystone product. Keystone is owned by Thor, not Forest River. Maybe you talked to the wrong people?

RE: How old is too old?
76 here. Don't mind towing, love to travel. Bending to hook-up and unhook is getting tough and the rough ride ride on some roads is pretty tiring. Have to farm out most of the maintenance now. Don't know how much longer I will go. My body will tell me. It's been fun.

RE: Cab/living area COLD weather insulation - comforter?
Maybe a sleeping bag, unzipped and opened would work.

Bilstein shocks, oh yeah.
Changed out the original shocks on my 2015 Chev dually. 103,000 on the originals. I installed 4600's all around. Highway ride is nothing short of spectacular! I think I should have done this a long time ago. My originals were toast.

RE: Tripod for a new fifth wheel
I especially laugh when I see someone using it with an air ride hitch.

RE: Morryde Rubber pin box
Spend the extra money and get you an air ride pin box. We have a Reese 5th Airborne. I have one right now (Lippert Trail Aire) piece of junk. How much good can it really do when it only moves up and down about an inch and a half at the most. It's coming off to be replaced by a MorRyde I have sitting on my garage floor.

RE: Opinions on Grand Design Fifth Wheels
Run of the mill fifth wheel. Same major components as most of the rest. Same type of construction as most others use. How much better can they be??

RE: Portable air compressor
The whole concept of carrying a compressor has me scratching my head.
If your tires are losing air you have a problem, get it fixed.
I check tire pressures as part of my routine periodic circle check, but I can’t remember the last time I needed to add any air, then because I’d picked up a screw. Can't always get it in to have it fixed right away if I'm on the road. Hard to get into a station for air and many don't have enough pressure.

RE: Pullrite Superlite - Best Dry Graphite Lubricant
Not talking about a Super Glide type hitch. This is a light weight stationary hitch, much like an Anderson hitch.
I would use graphite spray on the funnel if anything.

RE: General 5th Wheel Brand Question
I bought a Cedar Creek 2016 Hathaway model. Here's what I like: Hung walls with residential insulation. Walls have studs on 16" centers and are screwed in place. Cannot delaminate, have room to allow electrical boxes and plugs on outside walls. Hydraulic leveling and slide out mechanisms. Room on each side of the bed even into the slide-out. Making the bed is a breeze. Very quiet and efficient ducted A/C. "I" beam frame also has a square tube stiffener welded along the length for reinforcement. Brand name appliances, carpet, furniture and mattress. Very happy with ours. Factory has been very receptive about sending me parts for things I can fix or okaying mobile service for other repairs.'

RE: Snowbird Refunds
I got taken for a $200.00 deposit by a park in Edinburg TX. when I found I had to have surgery for cancer. Let them know on plenty of time. No concessions of any kind. I'm doing fine now, needless to say I'll never go back there.
