This may be a silly question, but my truck has TWO fuses for the trailer brake controller. Have you made sure that all related fuses have been replaced and not just checked? It is possible to have a fuse check good and still be bad.

Hills don't necessarily mean anything when it comes to tornadoes. Growing up in tornado alley taught me that. Search for "Burnett's Mound Topeka" or "Tornadoes Colorado Mountains".

Sorry. I do not know what browser you use but each of three I commonly use will show the full link without having to click on it.

Yep, this. I recently had the same symptoms after using the pump on several occasions. I found that the top of the inlet filter had cracked somehow and with that the pump was unable to get suction. I had envisioned an expensive fix like a pump replacement but it ended up simple and cheap.

Granted, while T-Mobile coverage is not perfect, it works for us. With our 55+ plan we have unlimited Hot Spot on BOTH of our phones.

Yep! Enjoy!

As a long time resident of Colorado Springs I can tell you this is not new. All the city did was refine the earlier law (that has been on the books for a long time) so that it was clear that short term parking on the street was OK for loading and unloading for a day or two, shopping, dining, etc.. It made clear that long term parking was not OK, nor was staying/living in an RV while parked on a city street.

We had that problem with the DW's mother. Driver License renewal solved that when she could not pass the vision test. Every state is different though on renewals for the elderly. Licence renewal by state

Red Mountain Pass is on US-550 and Monarch is US-50. All Colorado year round passes are well maintained in the winter but, as a Colorado resident, I would hesitate to take my RV over one of the high passes unless I knew for sure the road conditions. Even Raton Pass which is a "low" pass can be a little unnerving in the winter. This is the best place to look at Colorado road conditions.

If you changed things in your sig to have a map.... it was a bust.

#4 - YUP!! Our maiden trip was to a campground that was both near our home and a Walmart. #5 - This is a cardinal rule no matter what state, county, city, town, village you are in! #10 - Not so (at least in our RV) #16 - True that! #11 - Absolutely true!! I have even managed to convince my son that "glamping" in his TT is better than boon-docking all the time.

That is for a generic drug. I pay $24 for 60 days worth of Humira and my wife pays the same for her diabetes test strips and these are in the formulary. Non-forumulary items (if you can get approval) will be $53.

The tire rating system has not really changed as much as it has evolved to be more precise. Tire Rack has an excellent explanation. And yes, it is possible to have a speed rating of G, but not too likely as that is only 56 mph. As to Load vs. Ply with modern technology far greater loads can be achieved with fewer actual plies whichis why the Letter rating is dying. The common D, E, G, H rating common to RVs and in our discussions are actually a thing of the past and the load ratings as explained the link are the way to go. Changing the size of tires on a trailer is not necessarily a big deal and on most newer vehicles, if one is willing to pay the price, electronics can be reprogrammed to account for tire size differences.

Where are the camping facilities going to be there? We were just there and while it is not a bad place in the middle of nowhere, I did not see anyplace large enough to host a major rally.

We have stayed in the KOA in San Angelo and it is not bad and they do have some long term spaces. If you are military eligible you might also look at the Famcamp there although there might be some time restrictions.

My G rated Goodyear G614 tires are only rated to 75 miles per hour. I cringe when passed on the highway (when I am doing 65) by folks that I am pretty sure are only running D or E rated tires. I expect to see them down the road and off to the side. And I have a couple times.

Yes, I think you are right. I wish I would have had the presence of mind to video a Tesla owner arguing with a police officer at our local Costco about why he was parked in a handicapped spot with no permit. The owner said it was because the spaces are wider and he was less likely to get any scratches on his car. The officer said he hoped it was worth the $350 fine and mandatory appearance in court.

In western Nebraska, check out Scott's Bluff National Monument. For a stay there look at Robidoux RV Park. It is a nice city park with FHU. In the Nebraska panhandle check out Fort Robinson State Park. Well preserved Army post with buildings from the 1870's to WWII. There is camping there but I am not sure how big rig friendly it is.

🤣My F-350 One Ton Identifies as an HDT.

You need to be aware the some states, particularly those in the mountain west, mostly require chains. Colorado, for example requires truckers to carry chains (even if they are not needed) from September 1 to May 31 on a certain stretch of I-70. And, yes, for purposes of this law you will be considered a commercial trucker.

One consideration I do not see mentioned here. If you live in an area that does emissions testing you run the risk of failing the test if you make modifications like one of these tuners unless you remove it before testing.

A route not mentioned above, albeit a longer one, is to take I-25 to Colorado Springs and US-24 west to Leadville. None of the passes on this route are above 9500 feet, where the I-70/CO-91 route takes you across Eisenhower Tunnel and Fremont pass which are both over 11000 feet.

Most CB radios do NOT come with an antenna as there are so many antenna mounting options. The quality of antennas can also impact your transmission range and quality. If you want to use CB a good antenna, properly mounted and grounded, along with a quality radio like Uniden or Cobra are musts. Unless you are going to be traveling in full on boonies most of the time I would simply rely on a good cell phone plan. Even if you are in the fringes where text/data may not be available you can generally still place an emergency call.

Do you have a reference for this? We had a septic system for many years and were told by the guy that maintained the system that TSP was no worse for the septic than bleach or other household chemicals as long as it was used in proper dilution. TSP is also a food additive and is deemed safe by both the EU and FDA.

It was a good article. As a computer tech and tech trainer in life before retirement I always go through a new computer and remove bloatware. The article would definitely help out for those wanting to slim down things.
