RE: The warnings are there for a very good reason

We've been trying to save people from themselves for too long. Let 'em be stupid and pay the consequences. Might even drain some stupid from the gene pool.

Did California change its towing laws?

I was in CA heading to San Diego on I-8 last Friday and saw a truck doing a double tow (truck pulling a 5th wheel pulling a boat). All three vehicles had CA license plates. My understanding is this setup is illegal in CA or has the law changed?

RE: From a class C to class A ??

The V-10's are not the same; I believe the A has an extra valve. I like the class A storage bays.

RE: Custom diesel super C builders, 19,500 to 26,000 pounds GVWR

Tiffin makes the Allegro Bay super C with a GVWR of 33,000. It comes with a Cummins diesel on a Freightliner chassis. Worth a look.
THOR makes the Accolade at a cheaper price but lower build quality.

RE: Go Pro camera

When my wife was alive we'd take cross country trips and she would use her cellphone to film from the back seat. She took some wonderful videos and photos. No vibration when handheld. I've even been known to put my bike on cruise and take my own pics.

RE: State Parks

Cancellation policy is too liberal. If you cancel before 2:00pm the day before check-in the penalty is only $3.20. After that it costs one nights rental plus $3.20. If you arrive after noon the day after your first night then you forfeit all money. So you can cancel the day you're supposed to arrive and it is only one night plus the $3.20 to cancel. Should be more punitive to cancel to keep people from abusing the system.

RE: No place to camp in Florida

Same problem in AZ when the snowbirds show up for a 6 month stay. AZ State Parks helped out by limiting stays to 14 days.

RE: Axle and tire?

Yes, dump your tires if they say Made in China. I run 16" Michelin XPS RIBs. Zero problems in 9 years of towing all over the USA.

If you're a county resident then why does your signature say Holcomb New York.

RE: Used 6-point levelers to change a flat

And that's a GoodYear tire!
I'm on my 2nd set of Michelin XPS RIB tires on my triple axle. They're commercial grade truck tires. No tire issues in 11 years.

RE: ARE THERE ANY SNOWBIRDS ANYMORE?

The fairgrounds in Tucson where I work is usually full of snowbirds this time of year but currently it's maybe half full.

RE: Tires for Towing 20k 5ver and Snow at altitude

The Michelins you have are M/S, which means mud and SNOW. I wouldn't change them. I'd be more concerned with the tires on the trailer. I run Michelin XPS Ribs on my trailer.

RE: Tesla delivers there first semi

From the few studies I've seen it remains to be seen if there will be a total-cost-of-ownership advantage for fleet owners to switch to battery electric trucks. We'll see what they decide to buy.

RE: Changes at CG's in the Tonto National Forrest Roosevelt Lake

My family grew up on Roosevelt when we were into boating/camping beginning back in the 70's. The feds came in and ruined how we boated/camped at Windy Hill with those ramadas. Boaters don't want to shore park their boat and be 1/4 mile away in a ramada. And those fees they charge are outrageous. I used to pay $10 a day to put my boat on the federally owned Roosevelt. Seems to me the feds don't want our boats on THEIR lake. I've been to the Texas gulf coast and also the Florida Keys and there is no charge to use their boat ramps.

RE: Traveling to California

I-10 and I-40 are both good choices. My advice is to look at a terrain map of your route and it will show you mountains to avoid.

RE: Newbie - 36ft vs 41ft fifth wheel

My first 5th wheel was a 35 footer. Next I got a 40 foot toy hauler 5th wheel, which I still have. Towing them I can't tell the difference in length. I can tell the difference in the weight, though.
