  1. You pick them up, carry them to the next level, and love on them as long as you can.
  2. While boondocking we carry 10 one gallon plastic drinking water bottles that we fill up at drinking water kiosks in the area for 25 cents a gallon or 5 gallon for a dollar. We use that for drinking, tea, and such.
  3. I towed a jeep TJ behind a 38ft 5th wheel and a dually for 5 years going back and forth between Oklahoma and Colorado, through Texas and New Mexico without any issues, my overall length was 78 ft. After my wife decided she had to have a 4 door jeep I told her she was going to drive it, just too heavy and too much length. The TJ was just over 3300 lbs, the 4 door was a bit over 5000.
  4. I use a RDS 95 gal aux tank with gravity feed, love it, and its now installed in my 2016 Ram. was in a Chevy before. I can pick and choose when and where I want to fill up so it makes life much simpler and saves money too. You just need to make sure you have the ability to carry the additional weight. I usually refuel at 60 gal down or so because the truck rides much better when full of fuel.
  5. I operate HF and 2 meter using a Tarheel 200 screwdriver 80-10 and a 2 meter antenna mounted on the truck. I carry 2-100 FT lengths of coax and hook up to the antennas on the truck. I use a remote controller on the screwdriver to tune it from the trailer so I can hook up my base radio in the trailer and do what I want. works great except for running the coax, about the only issue. Big plus is it gets the truck and the RF away from the trailer which helps with the RFI, don't have the heater turning on or the awning rolling up. LOL.
  6. We had the same problem when trying to forward our mail, only the junk gets forwarded, any credit card renewals, financials, and other important stuff labeled do not forward or address correction required will not be forwarded. Since we live in a rural area and don't have anyone to pick it up my solution was to install the largest lockable mailbox I could find and let them dump it all in there. Since we are usually gone only two or three months this works for us, I have all the important stuff electronic and if something did happen to come that needed our attention, well, too bad, we'll deal with it when we get back.
  7. Well, I don't post here much but I follow your posts here as I really want to go with a HDT to tow my rig. But, for now, I'm still using a 3500 Chevy for my 38ft Weekend Warrior.
