  6. Air Ride Hitch

    Rich,

    I made a error mine is actually 49.5" to the top, but my frame is only 10.5" not 12" like most of your trucks. 20" center of axle 8" to bottom of frame 10.5" frame et junior 11.71" to top. I'm thinking about moving mine back 9" and dropping 2.25" and put rvh hitch pin on trailer and dropping 8" in length of truck and trailer.

    ET Junior mounted 3/4" below top of frame. With a ride height of 50 1/4". I raised the hitch pin to highest position on the DRV Fullhouse. Had to use 4" X 8" x 3/8" angle with a notch cut for the torque bar bracket and had to cut a coupe of notches for bolts down the side. If you want to take a look at the mounting stop by Crossvile, Spring Lake RV Resort. We'll be here until about June.

  13. Rear Leveling Valve

    in HDT

    Posted

    I think that the rear suspension leveling valve on my truck is bad. When I drop the rear and turn the key off the rear raises backup and now it is loosing all the air in a couple days and the rear bags go flat. Is this caused by the leveling valve or maybe a leak. What do you experienced guys think it is? I haven't done anything on the truck but wiring for the jacklopee  and the taillights. Limited knowledge on the mechanics of the air system.

    Thanks,

    Ken....

    Does anyone have a brochure downloaded from before they went out of business?  Trying to find some info on their model line.  I know they were almost all custom, but I know they did standards across their builds.

     

    See if this is what you want. I have a couple pdf's of floor plans and paint pattern if you need them.

  15. Keeping a pistol in my 5th wheel across all lower 48 states

    Keeping a pistol in my 5th wheel across all lower 48 states

    My desire is simple. I want a pistol for "home protection" only.  I'm not interested in open or concealed carry.  My desire is to keep the pistol in a locked box, permanently connected to my trailer frame.  The pistol will not be loaded during transport. The locked box will also contain a few loaded magazines.  

    I just finished an NRA Basic Pistol Course and submitted my application for a Connecticut Pistol License (with its embedded Federal check).

    The instructor for the NRA course raised some flags about my ability to freely travel state to state.  He used California as an example of a particularly strict state.  But all of my relatives still live in California, and I would like to continue to visit them via RV (with the gun inside) instead of by air.

    My impression is that, when I receive a Connecticut pistol permit and purchase a Glock with 10 cartridge magazines, I'll be good to go for visiting any of the lower 48 States.  I've spent a few hours researching CT, SD and CA gun regulations and did not any find significant concerns.

    I'm not seeking legal advice.  I am seeking a sniff test, from folks more knowledgeable than I, about gun restrictions for RVers.  I'm OK accepting some risk, but there doesn't appear to me, to be much on this.

    What are my risks, if any?

    Dan,

     check this site for just transporting not carrying.

    Quote from site:

    Federal law does not restrict individuals from transporting legally acquired firearms across state lines for lawful purposes except those explicitly prohibited by federal law to include convicted felons; persons under indictment for felonies; adjudicated “mental defectives” or those who have been involuntarily committed to mental institutions; illegal drug users; illegal aliens and most non-immigrant aliens; dishonorably discharged veterans; those who have renounced their U.S. citizenship; fugitives from justice; persons convicted of misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence; and persons subject to certain domestic violence restraining orders. Therefore, no federal permit is required (or available) for the interstate transportation of firearms.

    Hi Ken,  I filled out the online form for a new drivers license.  As you said TN requires two proofs of residency.  Our son lives here so “fudging” 2 receipts might be possible but might bite me later for example, at tax time.  Scratching my head for now.
    I went back over this topic for some inspiration.

    Sculptor,

    TN has no income tax so unless you are running a business or have a very big income from 401k you should not have to file a TN tax return. I believe TN doesn't tax 401k income until I believe @ $300,000.00 of withdrawal. We do our Federal taxes with no problems. We got random audited  a couple years ago and IRS didn't say anything about address. The only problem we had was last year with Williamson County on plates. We go back in November. Going to try and go to a different teller this year.

    I built a spreadsheet to do the math if you put in the numbers from the scale ticket. Some of you guys that know the number better may want to check the formula's as this is the first time I did this. The link below goes to the shared google drive where the file is stored. I also have on there that I have been playing with to figure hitch position and total length.

    Another question I have is about a TN mailing address.  Carl or anyone else have experience with mailing?

    It appears that, if we choose TN, we will need a mailing service based in TN so escapees is not possible at this time.  I read somewhere that a TN mailing company folded and headaches followed for all.  I didn’t look for details.  

    Sculptor,

    I'm using a UPS Brown Store in TN, however last November when I renewed my truck and trailer in Williams County they didn't want to renew without a real house address. The lady did agreed to do it if I paid cash but told me she would talk to her boss on Monday and they may call me and cancel the registration. They never called but in November I have to do it again. TN really doesn't allow PMD's as an address but several of us have gotten away with it for awhile, @ 4 years for us. The wife renewed her licenses in Crossville last June and they made her do a new application for renewal and sent it to Nashville for approval. They did approve it. When you transfer from NC to TN they may require you to have 2 proofs of address it is in there law they will accept insurance invoice, electric bill. phone bill or other utilities. I use to have a copy of the rule, I'll see if I can find it. found it

  25. using truck for daily commute

    Anyone currently doing this. I am kicking around the idea. It would mean another truck because mine just too long. Two vechiles lot easier to fit in rv parks. And with the newer trucks and def they need to be driven and not set up. But would bobtail use cause  emissions problems? I am cautious about new emissions trucks. Hearing 2016 up doing well now though. I should remind everyone too about my problems with my 2012 Duramax. Using it for a daily commute was problematic. Cloged up emisisons. Then go in limp mode when neeeding to tow. Really leaves me weary of them.

    Glen,

    I use mine as a daily driver, we have put 25,000 on it since last May and about 16,000 has been as a daily driver groceries, food and anything else we need to do. We have a 2020 Volvo VNR 640, single with 189" wheelbase and it is just a little too big for a single space but not much longer then a F450 the frame behind the cab is @ 10' long . It is our only truck. When we are hooked up we are @64.5' long with a DRV Fullhouse Toyhauler and the hitch is 6" behind the rear axle.

    Hope this helps,

    Ken....
