RE: A simple idea
After 11 years of trying everything I know, I have given up. Starting with the simple precept that if she can't see me in the mirror, I can't see her. I pretty much ignore her and get out if I have to. I'm at a loss as to what to try anymore when I've explained it so many times. Just easier if I do it and let her think she's helping. Every trip used to start with tension at the campsite. No more.

RE: Cleaning black streaks
I have used Reliable RV cleaner quite a bit over the years to great effect. It ain't cheap but a little goes a long way. Wipes them right off. You should wax after but you don't have to.

RE: Level trailer
Mine has been about 3/4" nose up for about 9 years and I have no issues. Just don't want to move and set up adjustments to get the 3/4" back. Tows fine, and you can't see it visually.

RE: Roof fan
I have installed one each Fantastic and Maxxair, and Have no complaints of either over 8 years. They both move a lot of air and do it relatively quietly.

RE: gravity filling tank
Just don't pressurize the tank. If I fill mine too fast near the end, it always burps water out. Water going in faster than air coming out. These tanks don't like pressure at all. I have a mini ball valve and hose extension on my water hose to regulate flow into the tank. I let it roll out for a few min to keep things clear.

RE: LED LIGHTS
I put 3200k throughout the trailer and it's a great light. I spent about $8 per lamp times 13. The best part is, the led doesn't scorch the inside of the plastic lenses. Almost no heat at all. Well worth the upgrade.

RE: Sunnybrook Edgewater 2009 Roof
I don't recall if all their line had a walkable roof, but our 08 is. I've been up there and it seems fine as long as you're careful and think light thoughts.

RE: Anyone ever use one of these
Guys at hunting camp use them. They say they work fine but won't fill up the cylinder completely full. I never used one so just going by what they said.

RE: What brands of Travel Trailers are NEW & Quality
Even for an entry level trailer, we have been pretty happy with our Sunnybrook (Sunset Creek). I don't know how they've been since Winnebago took them over, but they had the lowest employee turnover rate in the Midwest at one time. I toured their facility right after Winnie took over and the new units looked pretty nice. When you consider lightness and cost as the primary factors, It's hard to build quality without making it heavy. My biggest gripe is even the small tasks involved in building trailers get fubar-ed. I mean, how much longer does it take to properly drive a screw to do it's job than to slop it in sideways and miss the intended component? Goes to pride in workmanship I think. As far as I can tell, they're all varying degrees of junk. If they made them too well, you wouldn't need to buy another one. Or the cost would be prohibitive. The markup on trailers is obscene. As stated, if we continue to buy junk, they'll continue to make it.

RE: Best way to make white trailers white again?
This stuff is the bomb. Spray on, wipe off black streaks and bugs. Can add to wash water or use straight out of the bottle for tough stains.

RE: Ford's new 7.3 Super Duty Gas Engine for 2020
I'll be replacing my 5.4 L 150 with a superduty, so the 7.3L will probably be my engine of choice. I hope to see good results in the real world before I plop down the cash. Fingers crossed.

RE: Question re axle replacement
Trailers are notorious for bad axle alignment/installation. If you ever read the specs from Dexter or Lippert, I believe you'd find that axle installation measurements are supposed to be very precise. I had to have mine aligned and they ended up moving a spring hanger over 1/2" inch. Tires wear nicely now.

RE: Lubing my Reese Strait_Line hitch w/Dual Cam
I've used a dab of Vasoline on my cams since new. Tongue weight runs around 1050 */-. I have not seen any issues with control. Really helps quiet it down. I also shoot a little penetrating spray on the snap chains. As the bars shift, the links can pop and groan a little. Mine doesn't make a peep.

RE: firearm question
To those that say carrying a gun doesn't make you safer probably never owned one or can. One thing that's a fact while carrying, I go out of my way to avoid any confrontation with people. While driving or otherwise.
I believe this is in response to my comment. I'd like to clarify that I stated "simply having a gun does not make you safer". What makes you safer by having a gun is being properly trained in using the gun AND understanding that it is a last resort AND using all the other tools in your arsenal (like avoiding confrontation).
Many people who are not familiar with guns do think that simply having a gun makes them safer. If they've never handled, let alone fired, a gun, they don't realize it's not as simple as it looks on tv. These are the folks who will buy a gun for protection but not get the proper training or understand the responsibility or repercussions that go along with it. And these are the ones who make mistakes that destroy innocent lives along with their own lives.
With the right comes the responsibility. A firearm, or any weapon, is not a magic talisman against evil. You have to have the skill, knowledge and most of all, the will to use it. A gun will do, if you will do. If you have no interest in availing yourself of the proper instruction and knowledge, I would recommend against it. This is a good post from Toedtoes.

RE: firearm question
The short answer is no. I have not. But it's not about the likelihood. It's about the cost. Choose wisely.

RE: Shenandoah National Park in April
We've stayed at Andy Guest campground at Shennandoah River State Park. They don't have full hook ups but it's a nice campground and fairly close to Luray and Skyline Drive.

RE: 2016 F250 tranny
I don't claim to be an engineer, but I have to wonder why we need two OD gears? I'd rather have the rpm spread broken up more in the previous 5 gears and give me one OD with a reasonable ratio. My 4 spd dinosaur only has one OD and it runs fine that way for the most part. I do lock it out many times on hilly routs, so I'm fine with some rpms. I just fail to see why they make them overly complex with extra gears then ad an extra OD. I'd gladly take an extra gear between 1st thru 5th or 6th, then have one OD. Prolly all about fuel economy, but it it won't pull either of the OD without down shifting into "D", what's the point? If I want a sizable jump between any gears, put it between OD and the last gear before OD. It's going to shift out of OD anyhow.
