kids.....

I've found that I can usually find fuel off the highway a bit and save more than any discount might be. And I have about 1,000 mile range so can be kinda choosy. That said, I agree with Paul and Kirk as stated above. And I won't use CW or any Sam's/Wal-Mart either. Both are bad for small businesses.

No bob tail restrictions for us, through Lazy Days. Miller said no bob tailing.

I confirmed with Deer Run that we're in for 4-15 through 4-28. Campfire seminars are good.👍

X3 on the above comments. Air ride hitch isn't that expensive, considering how it allows the trailer to "float". We towed with the commercial fifth wheel for two years. When we went to the air hitch, we couldn't believe how things in the trailer "stayed put". We bought a used Trailer Saver with the third bag. Out toy hauler is about the same size and weight as yours, and it handles if well. Oh, you can put a goose neck ball on an air hitch too. The Jackalopee is a worthwhile investment, and very easy to install. BTW, nice truck!

When we bought our truck, I got commercial insurance with the understanding it was temporary, until I could get MH status. Cost a few bucks, but it was simple.

Tires are like oil. Pick a brand, and you'll find those who love it and those who avoid it. For instance, many folks won't even consider a Chinese branded tire. I have a set on my work truck, and so far am happy with them. But, they are the high end of the Chinese brands (Sailun). Find an independent tire shop near you and see what they recommend. Build a relationship and it will pay dividends in the future. Initial sale price isn't as important as service after the sale.

As a side note, today my bride and I went out to lunch. I'd been handling lumber with evidence of mice sprinkled about, so thought perhaps I should wash my hands. Finish washing and what do I find? No paper towel dispenser, just one of those whiz bang air dryers where it looks like you're putting your hands into a big sandwich and it blows off the water. Issue is, my hands don't fit. I make contact with the machine from the knuckles back. Sanitary my butt.........

Hmmm, so wouldn't Modelo be an anti-dote to Corona? Make mine Negro.

Had a Vette for a while, C-6. Sad day when it left, but Grandma needed a 4 door to haul kids. The Vette and the smart weren't cut'n it. It was the daily driver for two years, no matter the weather.

We'll still be there. I know we'e putting our lives on the line, but the camaraderie is worth the risk. Hmm. Someone here has in their signature a line about living, rather than shying away from danger.... Dan?

Stocks are on sale right now. I sold two tractors, and I'm putting the money in an S&P index fund. Don't really care if I pick the bottom, just have it where there's lots of potential. That said, perhaps I should have sold the Henderson motorcycle......... Nah, I can still ride it to go get toilet paper.😂

That is too slick.👍

No camera. I'm a tight wad. I do same as hitching to a commercial trailer, but much gentler. Get it close and either go take a look, or have another set of eyes (wife). We usually nail it first try, but sometimes....... And yes, rv's are pretty dainty compared to the commercial stuff. No bang'n around with the hitch.

I'd like to "qualify" my above post. I'm no insurance guru, but I believe different companies may have different rules from one state to another. For instance, our policy through Lazy Days is actually a Progressive policy. Other with Progressive can't bobtail or pull any trailer other than the one listed on the policy (they required we have both truck and trailer with them). OTOH, pricing the same policy through Miller, they said I couldn't bobtail or pull any other trailer, besides the one listed. Is this all clear as mud? I hate insurance, until I need it.

Yep. S-I-L is finance mgr. for a pretty big dealer. Too get the rebate for taking mfr. finance, you likely have to ask.

Call Lazy Days RV in Tampa FL. They know their stuff. We got better coverage for lower price than any of the others mentioned. I can bobtail and pull any non-commercial trailer all I want.

My LGT is an F-150, and is near GVWR with me and one passenger. Crew cab and a cross box full of tools all add up. So, I guess it's never really "empty". It rides a lot better than the three F-350s I had. BTW, on my King Ranch, it came with 20" wheels. Less sidewall = harsher ride. Son-in-law found that out when he traded his Platinum for a Tremor.

Agreed. I know I'm not normal, but I don't like debt, unless it's making me money. Besides, at my age, I shouldn't need to borrow. My last two pick-ups, I financed through the dealer to qualify for a nice rebate. After 90 days, I paid them off. Had I paid them off earlier, the dealer would have had to eat the rebate, and since my son-in-law works there, I didn't want to ruin my chances of getting a good deal next time. Do the math. Usually, 0% financing is not so great if you figure the rebates you may be passing up. In the end, cash IS king, if you do your homework. YMMV.

Perhaps he meant it was the Canadian Screech that caused the delusional pattern........

LGT fits in the garage at the house, rides better when empty, gets better fuel economy when empty, has 4 doors. HDT has to sit outside most of the time (which keeps me from using as a work bench), gets neglected for long stints, but does everything I ask of it. I'm glad I have both. And about the same total investment as a dually. $25k in the HDT including bed and hitch, and $42k in the F-150, bought new.

Uhhhh, this thread is almost 4 years old............

We used to go "skinny dip'n", now we go "chunky dunk'n". But only after sundown.😮

Cab bags too. Don't ask how I know.......
