You are the "Little Johnnies" I do not call on as Freshmen in my Biology class because I know if you are given a chance to talk you will say something not quite appropriate for class, then I will have to turn around toward the whiteboard / chalk board and laugh, compose myself and have a private conversation with you in the hallway, where I say that was funny but not in class!!!! 😞
Yup, that was me 🤣 You didn't expect anything else from me did you Cory?

Oh come on. Why not? Remember all those times, sitting in class when you wanted to say "Uh, Teacher, that's not right." but you didn't? Well, now's your chance.

I would lean toward a wheel seal leaking, and the hot brakes catching the grease on fire. I can't imagine the brakes, alone and unnoticed, getting hot enough. Could have been a bearing failure, a single brake dragging...things that might have been noticeable on a flat surface requiring the truck to overcome the drag but not noticed on that downhill grade??? But then that is why they invented downshifting.

He needs to call his satellite provider (Dish or DirecTv) not Winegard.
Winegard is has technicians that can walk you through most issues with Dish and Direct and are very knowledgeable in both carriers, whereas Dish and Direct have no knowledge of Winegard products and are no help whatsoever if you are not using their equipment.

Phil, thought I remembered you staying you went with Farm Bureau commercial policy for noncommercial use.
Nope, not me. I went from Farmers to National General to Progressive.

You're absolutely correct. According to the AKC, and our daughter (a vet who specializes in orthopedic care), the use of a ramp or stairs is strictly personal preference.
I have seen two dogs (Trash, a chocolate lab who belonged to Jim Brumfield and my own Bullet, a chow/lab mix) who could not put enough pressure on their hind quarters/hips to walk up a ramp. Both, on the other hand, had no issues with the PetLoader. I watched Trash struggle up a ramp, took my PetLoader over and he made it right up. Jim ordered a set that day and had them delivered to the rally in Kansas while we were still there.
Nothing against the AKC or your daughter, just first hand experience with 2 old dogs who couldn't walk up ramps but had no issue with the large step platforms of the PetLoader

progressive will not talk to me without a cdl.
Then find a different agent. You do not need a cdl for a non commercial vehicle. Texan Ins in Pasadena got my policy through Progressive. Stop giving them "extra" information, although you may have ruined that possibility through Progressive already. Dont say "I'm buying a commercial truck to convert". Tell them you are buying a large truck, class 8 if they insist...period

Cory, Jim's list is fairly inclusive, the only thing I would add is a copy of the trailer registration just to show that the entire combination is yours.
Don't you hand with some Nevada cops? They could point you in the direction of the section of Nevada law that states your truck can be registered as a personal truck or MH or whatever Nevada lets you do.
Simply print a copy of that section and carry it. Registration is reciprocal. If Nevada says you can do it, then other states have to accept that.
Check your PM for my cell number, since you obviously didn't keep it

Ramps still put strain on the dogs back and hips. Steps, like the PetLoader, are much better for the dog.

Damn, Dave was a good guy. I have missed him at the rally. I'm sorry to hear he has left us.

New Horizons or Spacecraft (more$$$$). Read DRV reviews or issues. Hard to find issues with New Horizons.
I know several NH owners who have had issues. NH just makes fewer trailers than DRV, so fewer reviewsl

Well that does blow a large hole in my theory

Who says it is even wifi related? It could just as easy be a device to measure the water level.

My Thomas Payne junk lasted 2 years. I've ordered Lambright as a replacement.

Onboard air
in HDT
Look on the back side of the dry tank. There is probably an un-used and capped access port.
-
One other consideration is that our rv's weigh less than a commercial trailer. A bobtail truck rides rougher than a truck towing a loaded trailer. Our light weight trailers do not even begin to get into the trucks suspension, hence the advantage of a air ride hitch. Moving the hitch back puts more weight into the suspension, improves the ride and let's the air suspension on the truck do its job.
My HDT, bobrail, rides better after the bed was built and installed. It rides very nice with the smart and trailer.

Vern, my passenger side tank has a small (3" or so) plate which is the where the fuel gauge is mounted on the other side. It is held on by 5 or 6 screws. I drilled and tapped a pickup tube into it for my generator. Right next to it was a 3/8" (?) plug. I removed it and used it for the return. I can take pics tomorrow if you want.

in this day and age there should be O date caps, and places like comcast should be forced to cut there rates in at lest 1/2 if not more, and the $$$ hurts the "poor" the rich have found ways to charge it off to others. or as a tax deduction.
I'm not sure I understand your post. There is only so much bandwidth available. You open your post with "In this day and age"..well, in this day and age more people are working from home, schooling from home and are plain stuck at home so they are streaming more and more. That uses up the bandwidth and slows down everyone. You also mention that "places like comcast" should be forced to cut their prices. Forced by whom? Under what communist/socialist law is that legal? It certainly isn't legal here. Are cars too expensive? Should car dealers should be forced to cut their prices too? And what does a data cap "for home users" (as the article discusses) have to do with the rich passing costs along to others or as a tax deduction?? Did you read the article?

Phil, I’m told you can find it on their prepaid site but not post paid. I used their chat and sent this note, “I’m interested in the 50% off Inseego MiFi M2000 along with the $50/mo 100GB data plan.” Took a couple minutes to connect with a CSR. After brief chat to make sure he understood what I was looking for, had him call me and it took about half an hour to sign up. Pretty easy.
Thanks Jim

Can someone post a link to this new plan? I'm on their site and I do not see any data only plans? Even their online support people can not tell me how to view the data only plans on their own page.

Carl, come to the National rally (like you should have) and stock up at Rose Auto Supply in scenic downtown Hutchinson. 🙂
HDT carrying cars other than a Smart Car.

One good picture here....more might be found searching the old rally pages.

He pushed the hitch in so the rear door/ramp came down enough, then pulled the hitch out to tow. The hitch in thebpicture on the page I linked is "in".
