RE: tow with all wheel drive?

Tahoe / Suburbans are 2WD or 4WD, not AWD.
not true. there are versions with AWD as well as versions that don't have a center diff and are 4wd or 2wd.
Show me. I looked at the vehicle configurator and all I see are 2WD and 4WD options. The brochure also shows 2WD or 4WD, with 4WD being standard on the Z71 package.

RE: Sway Bars

I'm thinking sway bars.
A sway bar is something that goes on the tow vehicle - generally bolt to the rear axle and the truck frame.
The device you are referring to as part of the trailer hitch is a sway control device of some sort.

RE: May have towed too much weight

when I was comparing a pilot vs my highlander, the pilot was rated to tow 5,000 lbs. towing a boat, 3500 towing a trailer.
bumpy
Two tow ratings on one vehicle is the most bizarre thing I've ever heard.

RE: Selling my trailer...where to list?

Never heard of Pop RV. Is it a dealer? An online selling marketplace?
I've listed stuff on RVtrader.com, Craigslist as well as Facebook Marketplace.

RE: VIDEO: TAG AXLE For Carrying Your Heavy Truck Camper

I'm sure the wheels are sprung so they only carry so much weight putting less weight on the bearings
The springs have no bearing on the weight on the wheel bearings.
Whatever amount of weight is placed upon axles is the weight it carries, regardless of what type of springs it has.

RE: Fuel Ecomony - Towing

A long time friend once said "People that get concerned about fuel economy when towing probably can't afford to RV in the first place."

RE: Goodbye CH751 key!

Don’t count on much security with those little barrel locks.
Security is not what I'm after. I want the convenience of only using one key for everything.
Congrats, less keys is better for sure!
YEP!

Goodbye CH751 key!

Last night I replaced the CH751 lock on the water fill hatch with a lock that matches my entry door and other compartment locks, which were replaced in previous upgrades. One less key to mess with!
WOOHOO!!!
There's also a thumb turn style lock available.
I wanted the locking version because I camp remotely most of the time and I don't want someone dumping unmentionables in my water tank.

RE: Just curious

Anyone out there drink the water out of their fresh water tank??
NOPE.
Bottled water only, either from the store or containers I will up at home and then haul camping with me.
Water from the fresh tank made me sick once, so I stopped drinking from the fresh tank probably 15 years ago.

RE: Repairing a small crack in the roof of my camper trailer

Since part of what needs sealed is a vertical surface, you will need the NON SAG version of Dicor.
If you use the "self leveling" kind, it will make a mess and run down the wall.
Self leveling is meant for flat horizontal surfaces only.

RE: Walmart overnight parking

If you want to see a Walmart parking lot that turns into a campground, go to the store in Pendleton, OR during the Pendleton Roundup.
8 years ago I was there while picking RVs to haul back to Spokane. People had lawn chairs, patio mats, dog fences and all sorts of paraphernalia strewn about around their rig. It really did look like a campground!

Do you drain the water heater too? You didn't mention if you do that or not.

RE: 2024 Chevy Duramax HD Ike Gauntlet

The went and hid the headlight and 4wd switch behind the steering wheel again.
That's the only complaint I have on my 2009 Silverado.

RE: Walmart overnight parking

... downloaded a Walmart POI file from POI Factory
I sure wouldn't rely on some random app being 100% accurate. Things change faster than people can provide feedback to the app creators.

RE: Walmart overnight parking

Parking at Walmart is a store-by-store situation depending on local ordinances and other factors.
Ditto.
The stores around me disallow it.... there were too many tattered and junky RVs hanging out for several days at a time, which made it appear as the people in them were homeless and moving from parking lot to parking lot.

RE: Smallest Class C that can tow a Jeep

...a Jeep Wrangler Sahara.
Weights vary quite a bit between the TJ, JK and JL, and 2 door / 4 door for the JK and JL.
Need more info beyond "Wrangler Sahara."

RE: Walmart overnight parking

https://corporate.walmart.com/frequently-asked-questions
Per the information at the link above:
Can I park my RV at a Walmart store?
While we do not offer electrical service or accommodations typically necessary for RV customers, Walmart values RV travelers and considers them among our best customers. Consequently, we do permit RV parking on our store parking lots as we are able. Permission to park is extended by individual store managers, based on availability of parking space and local laws. Please contact management in each store to ensure accommodations before parking your RV.
