Be advised that not all phones will let you do that and Walmart doesn't carry that cable, USB to HDMI adapter. Denny

Depends on a lot of factors like pin weight, truck load capacity, trailer balance and extra weight in the box. In our case with out F350 DRW we have them but our trailer has 3400lbs of pin weight and we have a 50 gal aux tank, we only run 35 to 40 lbs in them but it levels the truck, helps the ride by keeping it off the overloads. We also have a onboard compressor so we can vary it from inside of the cab. Denny

I think I still have ours but it's in Nebraska and we are in Texas, I got brake fluid on the case so it's shot but everything else is fine if it's still there. Should be home for the summer next week. Denny

I will check on that, we went to Motorola phones this time because on my last two Samsung phones I had trouble with the USB ports, both old style and USB C. Denny

Didn't figure it would that easy. With our 5G Verizon plan each phone has 50GB phone data and 25GB hotspot data and our Chromecast is a pain to switch between the two. I may just buy another Chomecast and a HDMI splitter to make to make it easyer. I'm going to get a HDMI to USB C adapter so we can mirror the phone screen to the TV and use more of the phone data. For $10 more a month for each phone we can increase hotspot data to 50GB if needed. Denny

We have two identical 5G phones on Verizon and was wondering if I can change both hotspots to the same password so I won't have to change things over on my connected devices like our Chromecast and printer. Denny

On my Monarch pump I just remove and clean them. Denny

Before you replace or rebuild them make sure your check valves at the pump aren't leaking by. Denny

I'm pulling out 16K 5th wheel with a 2013 Ford 6.2 DRW 2x4 with 4.30 gears that we had from new. Pulling at reasonable speeds over long trips it will get 8 to 9 and 13 to 15 hwy empty. Denny

What ever happened to common sense, remember the days when you got sick you just stayed home so you didn't spread it and if it didn't go away you went to the doctor. Now you have sick people standing in lines to get tested spreading whatever they have to be told they are sick with whatever. We are vaccinated and came down with Omicron after the first of the year but didn't run out and get tested we just did what we have always done and stayed away from others and recovered without and problems. Anyone that can read should know what to look for and know that unless it gets severe just use over the counter meds. Denny

If you were in a area that has poor 4GLTE because it's overloaded so it's slow you would realize why 5G works better. 4G is going to be just like 3G when 4G came along and they stopped building out 3G. Denny

We just made the switch to 5G on our Verizon cell phones and won't be looking back any time soon. Would really like to see how good it is in a area that had the Ultra Wide band but for now it's way better than the 4G LTE here in Yuma. Denny

Yes they do run on 12volts DC but for the price I would go with a residential running on a dedicated inverter because the 12vdc units are 120 volt ac compressors with a inverter mounted to the compressor. The residential would also be cheaper. As far as your 20 year old RV frig if it fails I would replace the cooling unit with a Amish replacement, they cool faster and have less run time and you won't have to worry about keeping your batteries charged. We have the same unit and replaced the cooling unit with a Amish cooling unit 5 years ago. I put a new Domitic frig in a friend's MH last week and it was a cheaply made piece of junk IMO. Denny

We have two compressors one for the trucks air bags mounted to the frame and a 1.5 gal 150 psi 120 volt in the second tool box. I have a 20 volt cordless impact for lug nuts. Denny

Thanks, I just can't stand to leave our homebase without my tools. 🍻 Denny

You should really consider a Toy Hauler, lots of room to store your tools in a dry environment. Denny

Here's another option, the first box is a 50 gal aux tank but it can be a large tool box, the second one is a box designed for a short box so its tapered at the bottom for the hitch. The other two are 10" side boxes. The hitch has been replaced by a Pullright SuperLite so its really easily removed. I would never go to a TT because of the lack of storage when compared to a 5th wheel. Denny

Our taxes are about as simple as they can get and we tried Turbo Tax free and it's not free and that's probably why it's no longer on the IRS web page. We use one of the other free sites linked on the IRS site. Denny

What tires do you have? This is what I got off the site Sailun Tire Americas, Inc. (Sailun) is recalling certain Sailun, RoadX, Blacklion, Blackhawk, and Ironhead brand tires, sizes ST235/80R16 and ST235/85R16 with DOT codes 2020 through 4120. Due to a manufacturing issue, the tires may experience a belt separation Denny

The S637 tires aren't on the recall, if you look at the recall there are 4 listed by name, roadx, blacklion, blackhawk, and ironhead brand. Denny

If the incoming water is high in salt the softener will not remove it, I don't know of anyone that drinks Yuma water from the tap. After you use a water softener for awhile the scale buildup in the water heater tank will come lose and and clean out of the system if you remove the drain plug and open up the high pressure relief valve the water will rush out and take most of the lime with it. We only use our RO system for drinking and cooking, we have a separate faucet at the kitchen sink. There are 3 things we would without in our water system 1. sediment filter before the softener 2. water softener 3. RO system. When we are away from Yuma our water out of the tap has no salt taste to it. Denny

First are you sure that it's hooked up properly? Even with running it through a softener and a filter we will not drink Yuma water straight from faucet, Yuma water is notoriously salty and it just tastes bad. We use a RO system for drinking and cooking. Check it with a test strip on the cold water side not the hot because it takes a long time to get the water changed out in the water heater. Water softeners will not remove salt, and taste from the water. Denny

That is caused by a hole in the heat exchanger. Find a RV tech to confirm, if the rest of the furnace is in good shape they can replace the exchanger. Denny

We have a water softener at our homebase and one in our trailer and have for years and when I get my blood work done my sodium level is either the low end of normal or below normal. Denny

Back to our question we use the On-the Go smaller unit and it works great with a recharge every week when we are in areas of hard water like Yuma AZ where we are at now. We also have a RO system for cooking and drinking water. The softener makes a big difference in the water spots and longevity of all appliances and faucets. The biggest problem with boondocking is having to be hooked up to water to recycle it. I would highly recommend one. Denny
