RE: Honda generator to truck camper

Not portable, but awesome..... I'm not sure anybody makes a liteweight portable diesel gen set.
I guess it would depend on your definition of portable.

RE: Honda generator to truck camper

I just looked at a ONAN 3.2KW diesel get set here at the Tampa RV show. 30.2 x 17.3 wide x 18 inches tall
Comes with remote panel and has its own fuel pump. Was at the ONAN display. They fired it up for me and it was quiet. Air inlet and exhaust out the bottom. Looks like a reg ONAN unit in a nice green box.
Around $5500 I think.
Would be great for my Ram 5500 and Host.

RE: Slide when mounted to truck

Unless your slide hits something on your truck, there is no reason to take it off for the night.

RE: Insurance and RAM 5500

I started with USAA in 1987, the year I was a 2LT. I'm still with them but they are a mere shadow of their former self. They used to pick up the phone with a real person when I called at anytime in less than 30 seconds. Now, they are actually closed at times. It's all good, I keep 2 cars with them. Thats it.
My local state farm girl has both of my Ram 5500's. One is a 2021 and one is a 2018. Full coverage around 1K a year for each. I can reduce that if I pull collision off if one will be parked for awhile. Good luck.

RE: Electric Ford F-150 and Four Wheel Camper Make Alaska Run

Until these have a normal range of my current trucks and can refill as fast as my current trucks, I have no interest in owning one. I'm guessing it will not be for decades yet.

RE: What did you do to your truck today?

Cut the handle off my portable genet so it would fit into side tool box. I can leave the door open and run it in there. Great for road side stops.

RE: TC and MPG

Just did 4K miles between 2 trips. 10.5 to 11mpg. 4.88 axle on 5500. 74 gallons with dual tanks so I look for lower cost when filling up. Cruise on 65 mph.

RE: Anyone Cancelling Truck Camper Trips Due to Fuel Prices?

Last month I did 2500 miles to FL and then to Myrtle Beach and back to PA. With the TSB discount I averaged $4.50 a gallon. Avg MPG was 10.7. I drive 65 mph with cruise. I just got back yestaerday from Myrtle Beach again. No FL.
1500 miles total. With TSB discount , some of the same truck stops even I averaged $5.50 a gallon. 4 weeks difference. I will be going back to MB again in about 3 or 4 weeks. Wonder what it will be then. I also need to go to Branson, MO sometime in July. Getting my use out of the truck and camper.

RE: Parking permits in the GSMNP

I was at Zion and thought the shuttle system was the WORST I have seen anywhere in the world.
I will NEVER use them again. I will only go when I can use my own car to get around.

So if your "just" a veteran, you can forget about getting in.

RE: Military Campgrounds

I am a 6 year veteran of the Air Force. I was a captain and flew jets for them. I can't find any military campground I can use. My experience is you have to be retired military or have a huge disability to use them.
