  1. We just filled truck up last Thursday just outside of St. Louis for 3.10 tsd discount, pump price was 3.66. Checked gas buddy and the it was within .05 cents at the cheapest station. That’s not worth trying to get in to the pump then only getting to get one tank at a time full. We usually fill at truck stops whether we are hitched up or not. In the last year we have only fueled up twice at non tsd stations. Once we used cc and had to restart twice because of station limit and would not take it the third time so used debit card to finish and the limit there was 75 for debit cards. That was enough aggravation to not use a non tsd station again. No matter the price we’re going to keep buying fuel might just drive a little less but probably not. We went full time to travel and will look for lowest price but like food you have to have it.
  2. We set up our domicile almost 2 years ago while still owning our home in Illinois. We were going to sell in about 2 months so we set everything up early and even registered one car and trailer in South Dakota. When we ordered our hdt we stil had Illinois drivers license but by the time we picked it up we had South Dakota license and paid tax there. No problem doing domicile early for us and and dmv there were some of the best people to deal with.
  3. We are getting our 2021 fifth wheel roof replace in Madison Mississippi in December. I haven’t read a bad review yet and being a quieter roof was great to read
  4. Hi mr cob we have Morryde 8000 I/S 3 axle and it rides great and things do not bounce around in the trailer. We had ours aligned at a truck/trailer repair place and doing an alignment with a laser alignment machine makes a big difference than a laser and tape measure as you know. ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS Camber (+0.5 degrees to +0.8 degrees) Toe (+0.01 inches to +0.06 inches)
  5. You can go to any dealer and buy it. Doesn’t have to be done “specialty company”. Buy the truck then have the title transferred to an rv or motorhome. Get a loan at your bank or pay cash.
  6. It’s just as easy to do it yourself. It’s 2 pages of info that you fill out for registration half of which is for boats so you leave it blank. Same papers for cars, trucks and Rvs. Don’t pay someone to do it
  7. You can get on the web site and get a real close figure I think it’s a certain amount at 10000 lbs the extra in 500/1000 lb increments.
  8. We bought a 2004 f350 with our last fifth wheel it only had 72000 miles and before we started using it we had it bullet proofed and a programer for towing and never had any trouble out of it. The point is if it hasn’t been bulletproofed do it before you get stranded for 2-3 weeks. Would not have hesitated to take off in it with the trailer after it was done.
  9. Better look at the Ford 6.0 for those years. Lot of engine work unless it’s been bulletproofed
  10. Those turned out real good. Hope Susan gets feeling better. She might have just wanted a day off from the shop.
  11. We stayed at a park in Peyton Colorado this summer for a couple day when we made reservations they me how old trailer was we said 7 months. We got the impression that they didn’t have a lot of junkers in there. Wow what a dump. Old trailers that were not taken care of a people living in a old suburban suv. With a baby but they had a tv in there. Will never go back there. It would be nice if the campground people would put real pictures of their campground and not just the ones that look good. We don’t usually stay at campgrounds that have certain rules about camper age and type. We know a lot of people that have older trailers that have been kept up or remodeled and look better than some new ones.
  12. We hesitated to get the vaccine but finally did because of all the older people we have been around since full timing. Not sure it was the right decision as we have been traveling throughout the whole “pandemic “ and have been in close contact with people that had it and never felt anything. We only joined escapees for the mailing address and not sure that was right either. Not sure of going to any escapees rally’s would benefit us as we have been camping/rving our whole Iives and don’t need the few who just started to tell us how to do it. I know most here have been doing it a lot but there are a lot of people who think they know more than most. We got our shots finally and are not going to wear a mask all the time even of it means we miss and escapees event. No big deal. We are living our lives like normal. We don’t get in big crowds or expose ourselves to anyone we think we shouldn’t. Let escapees and anyone else make their rules and we wi make our pin decision. Stay safe by your our rules
  13. Look for a product called rv digest-it. Turns it to liquid.
  14. Ours is set on large trailer and at 20 and I can’t feel the trailer tugging and only registers about 46%when stopping. When we are stopped it’s at 20%. I always thought it should feel different set that high. We are close to 28000 lbs trailer
