RE: Cruise testing, I would be uncomfortable
When the highway death toll drops to insignificant numbers, when tailgating and road rage are a thing of the past, when speeding doesn't exist, you will wish this happened sooner.
That sounds like a world that does not exist. As long as there is a "RAT RACE" those things will not go away...
But it does sound like a nice place ! :C

RE: Cruise testing, I would be uncomfortable
Human drivers kill thousands every year, but we somehow live with that.
We'll all be dead before this technology really takes hold, so it doesn't matter.
Way to put a positive spin on this discussion ! ! :B

I'm with the OP... I am all for progress, but at some point you need to be able to override that non thinking piece of electronics...

RE: New 5th Wheel Manufacturer
I just read a little into " their story"
Unfortunately I do not think they will do much to improve the industry as BOTH the brothers are "BEAN COUNTERS" by trade..
Now I have nothing against bean counters, but when they are the owners, that makes for a rough ride in my eyes..
Coley Brady -"Prior to Heartland, Coley graduated from the University of Notre Dame and worked as a CPA for KPMG (Chicago office) and Crowe (South Bend office)."
Ryan Brady -"has 9 years of experience in the RV industry. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame and an MBA from the University of Chicago. Upon graduation Ryan worked at Prairie Capital, a Chicago based private equity firm"
The bottom line will be more important that quality is what I read... Prove me wrong bros..

RE: just saw my 1st 2020 F-350's
I will say this, The guys down at Sheehy Ford in Ashland VA are always low priced as well.. They are who I use as a price check usually.

RE: just saw my 1st 2020 F-350's
I must have been sleeping. SRW or DRW?
Whatever it is good for you!
Ron,
almost pulled the trigger on the DRW, but with the numbers what they are now I went with the SRW.. I was at max before, now will I have padding... perhaps the next truck will be our retire truck, at that time we'll go all out for traveling.
I do too much snow removal in smaller driveways in the winter to drag around those hips...
payload was - 3364#... WILL BE - 4561#- I was over
GVW was 11,500#... WILL BE 12,400# . -I was over
RAWR -was 7000#.... WILL BE 7340# - I was right there
And I'm gonna sell the 2 year old Pullrite superglide and the rail kit and already ordered the B&W Companion 20k OEM

RE: just saw my 1st 2020 F-350's
I can say that we're lookin REAL HARD at getting a 2020 version of Red. If I can get it for around 42K we'll probably pull the trigger in the spring.
The Ford dealer might laugh a bit, then tell you to get off the property. :B
In Lariat trim, DRW with 4WD and 6.7, $42K? I'll take one also, maybe two.
May get kinda close with an XL with 6.2 gas, but I doubt it.
Yea, I'd cancel my order and go get matching ones...
I did get a killer deal for the Platinum trim from my local guy, only got me for $25,000 AND my trade , which he gave me 40k for.. 2015 with 58k on it. The Lariat trim was a few grand less

RE: 5th wheel tires
BEST is always a figure of speech, OR personal opinion...
MOST talked about here lately are:
Goodyear G614 (16") --- Goodyear G114 (17.5")
and the BIGGEST talker - Saliun.. that tire seems to have a TON of traction in the market now with great results

RE: Pigeon Forge and Nashville
We were in Pigeon Forge in 2017 and stayed at River Plantation, it was nice..
As far as Nashville goes. it's been 15 years or so since we were there, but the last time we did, we stayed at Nashville KOA North.. it was nice, and also close to the Opry..
They used to have lots to do, and you were able to book bus trips that picked you up right in the campground..
You could also book trip to the Opry and other places from the front desk. I would assume MOST in the area offer that as well.

RE: Mopeka Products
I think this is better:
Dometic LPGC10 LP Gas Checker
I had used that for years and was not thrilled with it, then I heard about these - Trauma
I have had it 1 year and so far its really accurate.

RE: Mopeka Products
I tried them a few years ago but at that time they gave you rubber spacers to raise tanks to gain space for the sensors and both on my sensors got crushed over time spent bouncing around on the rubber feet. The sensors worked pretty well with the app but the remote wall mount wasn’t very accurate. I think they have since made the spacers out of metal to protect the sensors . I now use a hand held device , Truma propane tank gas lp level checker.
Mike
They sent me replacement feet that were machined from aluminum for free...
The sensors were more trouble then they were worth in my eyes..
I removed them and started using a hand held again..

RE: Class A crash
Although it is easy to be an armchair Quaterback after the fact, I'll toss in my .02
My opinion is that the driver of the RV was not paying attention closely enough, and reacted too late.
It was clear ( to me ) that the big rig was stopped with enough time for the RV to react and adapt..
Just MY opinion... Sorry for his loss, hope insurance was paid up !
