RE: motorhome pricing
Have bought 4 MHs and always paid less than NADA low retail which is $21K for a 2005 Open Rd/workhorse. Keep looking as it’s no longer a sellers market.

RE: Ford F-250 Brake Controller Install
My 21 F350 is capable of towing 18,000 lbs, but like Steve’s, didn’t come with a brake controller. Dealer wanted $300 for the controller and $100 to install. Bought a $40 Ebay and had the dealer install for the $100. Works well.

RE: Towing Frontier on Dolly
I would rent (borrow) a non steering dolly and see how it behaves. You are correct on how you inflate your tires.

RE: Summer Plans
Taking our 45’ DP (does that make us a A+?) West (CO, WY, MT) this summer staying mainly in public CGs. Don’t do reservations as not sure when we’ll go. Hopefully there won’t be fires as that changes where we go.

RE: MH used newer or older
At 35’ you do not need a diesel engine so go to 40’ so you have no choice plus you’ll save a step or two and a fair amount of money. I made the mistake 20 years ago believing 36’ was max for public CGs… not true even in a big rig.
Went to the Tampa Super RV show last month and again was not impressed with the new DPs…poor fit and finish plus very heavy and surprisingly poor CCC. Agree 03-08 (if it has a 06 engine) we’re good years I’m partial to the Monaco products, especially the bigger ones with a tag axle… 40’ or more. Great handling rigs and well built.

RE: Harvesting Solar
Not sure if you’re complaining or bragging. 2 loads of laundry assuming dry too is a waste of battery usage… crank your generator. Your refrigerator #s are way off, even with the ice maker on. My 21 Whirlpool draws 8 amps measured before the inverter and only runs 40% of the time… confirmed with a KW meter at 1.3KW/day with the ice maker off.
When using a high amp item for any length of time, crank the generator and turn the ice maker on to harvest the ice. With no one near you, what’s with not running the generator?

I’d seal the bottom vent closed until warmer temps.

RE: Michelin vs Toyo tires
On the fourth Class A
In 38 yrs of RVing only have had Michelin on all four.
Looked at others but always told, "yes they are cheaper but not as good of a ride""
So how do you know if others ride/handle just as well if not better? 40 years nothing but Michelin, will never buy another.

RE: Tire Ply 14 or 16?
Unless you have to run the max sidewall psi for your weight (you have weighed your rig) there’s no reason to go with a tire that has a higher sidewall psi… only difference in the “plies”.

Do it all the time in our 45’ towing. Hopefully you’re coming from the Tetons.

RE: 24 feet versus 26' dilemma, have to decide fast
Thanks for the good chuckle! Yes, with my 45’ it’s harder to find sites, but not impossible. We mainly dry camp in public CGs during the summer without advanced reservations… been doing it this way for 20 years. Buy a 30’ and don’t worry about the extra length, it WILL NOT be a problem.

RE: Directv ??? what are they doing???
The satellite version of DirecTV is a "dead man walking". If Starlink doesn't kill it, expanding 5G cell phone service. Both offer TWO WAY communication, something DirectTV can not.
Don’t hold your breath that 5G is a solution… it needs an antenna every mile for coverage which is possible in a large city but you can forget it in rural areas.

RE: Toyo tires
The sticker besides the driver’s seat is the psi IF the axle is loaded to its MAX… go weigh and set accordingly. While the OP may weigh close to the max on the front and assuming a tag the 6 on the rear will be less than 100 psi.

RE: Blue Ox True Center issue.
I removed the S-T-+ stabilizer until I could make it adjustable on the fly… made my own using a linear activator.

RE: Turbo
Yes and it’s fairly easy on the mechanical injection engine. You can buy a different profile fuel plate or like I did, grind it to the better profile. In this post there’s a picture of the different profiles. You should be seeing 25+ boost on hard acceleration.

RE: Best ride for the buck
At that short length you do not need a DP plus there’s not many that short. I made the mistake of starting at 36’ because that was the longest for Public CGs…not true. Buy more MH than you think you need…one time.
