RE: How do you decide how much to spend on an RV

Buy what you want and enjoy it now. You don't want to be sitting around years later thinking "I wish we had done this or that". It's too late then.

RE: Really Dusty Roads? Would this be viable in the US?

I've tried opening a forward facing roof vent on 2 travel trailers while going down dusty dirt roads. I can tell you that it doesn't help one bit keeping the dust out.

RE: Fifth wheel Jerking with gas truck... not as noticeable

They are still having issues. Look at the youtube video "Why We Ditched The Andersen Hitch".
I did s simple search "Andersen Ultimate 2 hitch failures".
There are just as many "why we love the Anderson hitch" articles out there as well.
Most people simply hate the Anderson hitch because of stuff they read on the internet which is ALWAYS overblown and exaggerated.
Almost none of their reasons come from first-hand knowledge, just hearsay.
ANDERSEN HITCH FAILURE RATE
It’s impossible to determine the exact failure rate of Andersen hitches as the majority are only minor and go unreported. Most drivers deal with the hitch failure themselves without reporting it or taking Andersen to court. There have been no major court cases involving damages caused by an Andersen failure.

RE: MGVWR and problems titling trailer

Take your trailer to a CAT scale first. They are certified weights so you will know for sure what your weight is. If you really are over that much, strip the trailer and then hit the CAT scale again. When you are good there head to the DMV with the CAT scale ticket in hand. Then you can get it licensed for your trip.
Thanks! Heading to a CAT scale on Saturday. Everyone I talk to from the dealer to the DMV say they have never seen this happen before. IDK .... weird for sure.
Please let us know the outcome with your problem.

RE: Ram 6.7 no start

Tried jumping to start, still just one click. I think it must be a fuse.
Power to every thing else.
Funny how this guy hasn't been back since this post on 5/1. Probably doesn't want to admit that one or both batteries was bad like everyone tired to tell him.

RE: Unable to identify model of trailer

That trailer is definitely not worth the time and money even if it is free.

RE: RV wind deflectors do they work we will see

My Ram is a 16. Have been pulling for 45 years. I think I know what I’m doing and not interested in debate.
We carry 100 imperial gallons which is bigger than the US gal.
Many times we have pulled 1400 plus miles before filling.
I pull between 60 and 70 mph.
So if you're comparing Imperial gallons to U.S. gallons perhaps you're also measuring kilometers traveled and KPH.
So those 1400 "miles" you claim to have gotten only equal out to 869.91 actual miles. That I can believe.

RE: RV wind deflectors do they work we will see

Okay, that makes a bit more sense since the Imperial gallon is about 20% larger than the US gallon. That translates to around 11 mpg. I can believe that.
Nope. An imperial gallon is equal to 1.20095 U.S gallons so it is smaller.
