Can you get me contact info for your agent? Farmers union here in Nebraska said they cant help me.

I contacted them . For my 33 ft it would cost $5,270 plus tax. Pretty pricey.

03 freightliner columbia registered as Mobile Home in Nebraska. $63.35 a month. $760.20 a year 93 Jayco eagle 33 ft 5th wheel $28.42 a month or $341 a year. State farm full replacement cost.

I have had both. I will never own another short bed. Yea, long beds are harder to park. Sometimes you have to park farther away. I need the exercise anyway. But then I'm out in the country using my pickup as its intended. Hauling stuff all the time. I need the space. When it was my only tow vehicle it was really nice having all that extra room in front of the 5th wheel.

Miller told me the same thing. I went to State Farm also.

Yea I though of that. I was going to put the lights into the bumper also. But, I decided to us the bumper for extra storage. I made end caps that clip on. I will weld the tube to the bottom then weld some 1/4 inch angle on either side for extra support. I was originally going to go with 4x4 tube or 6x6 but I got a whole pile of this 8x8 cheap enough at an auction. Most likely put some padding in there and store my big rod and reel in it.

I am in the design process. since the picture was taken I have changed my mind a little bit. I am going to extend the frame so the brackets will go straight down. That will be channel iron. The bumper its self is 8x8 tube 3/8 thick. I got a receiver tube that will be welded to the bottom of the bumper.

Funny I should run across this post today. I just ran across an old swivel wheel trailer in the back lot of a trailer dealer. This is an idea i have been thinking about for a while now. I have a phone call to make Monday morning.

Whats the distance from bottom of your bumper to the ground?

My truck has a Detroit 12.7 it gets 9.5 mpg. Its the cheapest engine to work on. Cat is the most expensive. Older Cat wont get as good of fuel mileage. I shopped for cummins or Detroit. This truck has 1.3 million. Been overhauled once but no paperwork. My mechanic ran an overhead and dropped the oil pan. He verified that it had been overhauled recently. All the guts are good but, I spent another wad on it. All new Air conditioner. From the condenser back including compressor. Exhaust manifold, turbo, Charge air cooler, all the coolant lines and hoses. I missed the crack in the exhaust manifold when I looked at it to buy it. That was my fault. Also, when someone tells you the A/C works it just needs charged. You tell them to charge it up then you will buy it. One line was cracked. But they were all corroded together. 3K just to fix the air. I don't care where you buy a truck from Get a good flashlight and crawl all over that thing. Dont be afraid to get dirty. Look at everything.

We decided to stay the whole 7 days after all. We are all set and looking forward to it!

Do yourself a big favor and put a locker in the rear end. I have one and have had to use it a few times already.

I am kind of wondering if there will be someone there with a solar set up I can look at.

Heck I'm color blind anyway. You tell me it was any color and I would have to believe you.

I have a cousin out there. I asked her. she sent me this. Hope it helps!

I would be up for a wine tour. Problem is then you have to have drivers. Or hire a bus.

Thanks. I will be coming up from the south. We are staying a day or so in Salt lake then I want to take the family across the salt flats on the way out.

Anyone ever overnight at the casino in Jackpot NV? We are not gamblers so the only table we are interested in is the Buffet table. The RV park there has spots for $24 a night.

Dang they are pricey. That would be a no from me. Sorry I even brought it up.

A while back I ran across a company that makes add on fuel tanks for Chevy trucks. It goes where the spare tire is located. Shure now you have to find a place to put a tire but that takes up less space than a fuel tank. I cant remember the name but maybe one of you internet experts can find it. If the make them for Chevy I bet them make them for Dodge and Ford also.

I did use a drill for a while but I burned it up. I was wondering if there was a kit to install a motor where the crank handle goes.

I have an older 5th wheel with the manual hand crank jacks. I would like to convert it to electric. Has anyone done this just by installing an electric motor to the existing landing gear?

Will be in Pigeon forge tomorrow through Monday. Leaving the truck and camper at a friend's place in Kentucky. Jen has a time share there. If anyone else there I'd like to meet up.

We are in the Daniel Boone Forrest right now. We will be until we go to Tenn. for a few days. My wife is from here. We are selling her old house and moving her mother back to Nebraska with us when we leave. So this is a working vacation. We are in Island City Ky.
