RE: Ford vs Dodge 4 point fifthwheel attachment
If you are asking if a hitch for oem Ford puck system will fit the Ram pucks, the answer is no.
Jerry
You wouldn't want conformity what fun would that be. I purchased a 2017 F350 DWR to replace my 2009 F350 DRW> It didn't come with the puck system so I had a turnball hitch installed figuring I could use my B&W Companion hitch. Got to use half of it, the head was OK but the factory told me I needed a new base.

RE: Propane tank
Lift the tank and judge the weight. That will give you a pretty good idea of how much is left.
Try that with a 40# tank.

RE: Propane tank locks for my TT
I have never heard of anyone having a propane tank stolen in 40 years of camping
They might not leave you tankless but I've heard of some scoundrels switching out old dated tanks for newer ones.
I just take outdated tanks that fill stations refuse to Blue Rhino exchange. Good to go till thote expire.

RE: Advice on towing a 5th wheel
You might want to check on the length. I saw where they don't count what is over the truck in the total length. Only the length of the "box" it self. So a listed 33' 5er is minus the upstairs, or bed if it has a bed up stairs.
Just like on a Travel Trailer. The tongue is not counted in the published length. Only the Box itself.
This is where a tape measure comes in real handy.
Misinformed. My 5er is 37 ft from the pin to the rear of the fiver the 5th wheel hitch for the pin is 2inches in front of the trucks rear axle.

RE: Salt Lake to Albuquerque on a 40 Pusher then to Florida.
Don't sweat the indians. I'd be more concerned about the NM Gov. closing down everything, which she just did. Avoid NM at all cost.
They are termed native americans not indians
How can they be native Americans when there was no America. I prefer first nation peoples though that is a misnomer as well.

RE: 1500 curb weights
If your looking at new trucks ask the sales person to see the shipping ticket. That's the wt sans fuel other than the 2-3 gal shipped with and any dodads a dealer may have added.

RE: Domestic frig
I have a Dometic Refigerator, mod# RM3762, production # 921144207. I need a heater and I don’t seem to find my production #. Part # I see is 3850644422, but doesn’t show for my frig. Will this work in my frig?
I good at finding stuff on Google but from what I see is your model is no longer in production. It would be good if you had the orginal owners manual with parts list it might give clue to the wattage of heater element. Good luck.

RE: Any one else giving up snow birding due to the covid
As far as travel this year we have cruised the gulf states, been in all states west of the Mississippi other than OR,WA,ND,MN. Just about 8,000 mi. 30+ campgrounds. In many of the CG's we never saw management all handled by phone and many other were self pay. We're in AZ right now but plan on heading East in a a week or so. Haven't found a full campground since mid September in Billings Montana. My fault for not calling earlier in the day.

RE: Any one else giving up snow birding due to the covid
They are starting to test the chinese vaccine (CanSino) in Mexico.
It always amazes me how hard it is to get news, as to how other countries are doing with the virus. Its like our news networks are afraid or embarrassed to report anything from other countries on the subject.
Could be they don't want you to know how badly other countries are handling it. That would hurt the narrative they want to maintain.

RE: West coast - Washington to Mexico...starting October 1
Every year is different. What works one year won't work the next. Something I learned farming floods last year drought this year or vice versa.
One thing we have going for us is more reliable weather reports that reach out ten days or so. Not perfect but better than a big toe that tells you the weather is going to turn.

RE: Not Utilizing RV Parks or Boondocking
Let's just say my wife would prefer to join the bears in the woods before using public facilities. During the ten years we've been fulltime we've spent 4 nights in hotel/motels. Three nights were in NYC as the wife had never been there and I wasn't going to pull a 5er down Broadway to Central Park. The other was going to the daughters and had to work in the morning so got a late start on what otherwise would be a good days drive.

RE: Sharing our location/travels with others
With google maps you can keep a list of your travels, stops, places you've been daily travel and time of travel. You have control whether private or public and can delete as you please. Do a little reading and play around with it.

RE: New 5th wheel hitch.
I don't know how long a hitch should last but my B&W Companion is 10 1/2 years and 90,000 miles. Grease the zerts, white lithium on the uprights, spray lube on the pin.
