  1. My agent: Cory Jacobs Executive Sales Agent 800 Superior Ave. E. Cleveland, Ohio 44114 (216) 592-7173 Cory.Jacobs@ngic.com Just sent me my renewal paperwork today, so I know he does for Florida. Not sure if your location causes issues, but give him a call.
  2. I'm in the renewal process with Good Sam, and I have replacement value on the trailer of $168k and stated value on the truck, replacement value on contents, and my rate is staying the same. You might want to check with them.
  3. I had a good trip to Halls in Tyler, TX. They fixed my boost leak, boost sensor, performed an overhead, PM, and replaced the cab suspension for what I would consider to be a fair price. Got it all done in two days.
  4. What kind of trailer did you buy? Nice truck, btw. The bed and drom are about perfect.
  5. Check for TSLB's too, if you're considering Trailer Saver.
  6. TrailerSaver makes one rated 7.5k/32k. Think it's about $3.5k, but not sure.
  7. We were there Christmas of 2017. It was a mild year to that point, a dusting of snow and temps down to the teens. Was fine in our trailer, no issues. Just fill water tank and disconnect, or have a heated hose.
  8. From my very limited towing experience with the HDT (singled long), it pretty much matched my 2017 F350 DRW for turning. Just have to go a little deeper into the turn before turning the wheel. Other than getting the extra length into someplace, I imagine it being a negligible difference between the two trucks. For me, my front bumper is about 8 feet beyond where the front bumper of the F350 was, so signs/trees/corners/other obstacles my be present that I would have missed with the F350. This is from a combination of overall length and the hitch being behind the rear axle.
  9. Will be headed over there. Funny how life works out, I actually visited Mark and Dale when they were selling their Travel Supreme.
  10. Got ahold of him and he provided me with a quick rundown of the history/maintenance history of the truck. Good to know the truck has been in RV service since 2008 with annual fluid changes.
  11. I got ahold of the Brusses to contact him for me - hopefully I get a response.
  12. The Heavy Haulers Resource Guide site shows him as a past owner of the truck I now have - would like to get in touch with him if anyone has contact information for him. http://www.hhrvresource.com/node/428.html

    Dog Ramp Ideas

    You have any details on those steps available? Install/storage/function? Do the ride on the bottom step?
  14. Would be nice. I only "need" the smaller 3k inverter, but would like to get rid of the smart phase selector that I'm using to tie it into the whole coach. If they do a 5k, I'd upgrade a bit, depending on cost.

    Balancing tires

    I'll give it a longer evaluation period before making any changes. That, and check the lugnuts.

    Balancing tires

    I'll have to look and see. Not sure off hand.

    Balancing tires

    I just had new tires put on my new to me truck - singled 2001 Volvo 660. I also had Centramatics put on steer and drive axle. Driving home, there was a slight "wobbly" vibration around 45-50mph. Tire shop balanced the steer tires, but not the drive. Should I have the drive axle tires balanced?

    2030

    I think it's a lofty goal, but the power grid isn't there yet. And there are still cars on the road from decades ago. So, while it's a stated goal, and we'll feel some pain from it, I think we're gonna be ok for awhile. It'll take time to rid the country of all the fossil fuel vehicles. An example of a place doomed for failure is California - they can't meet their current electric needs and are not building more electrical grid infrastructure. So - how do they expect to charge all those EV's?

  20. I just bought this truck from someone in Kentucky. They got it from a relatives RV dealer, from a couple that used it full time to travel US and Canada. Believe the lived in Canada, but had US military service. Hauled Harleys on the bed, I think. Looking for history/details on it. Thanks for looking!

  21. Retired Navy, did my 20 and started career #2. In the words of my first CMC when I was a young Sailor - "It changed too much, that's when I knew it was time to retire"
  22. I'd like to get a declared value policy, but that doesn't seem likely to happen. So, I'd probably settle for liability and comprehensive, if I can find it. Not terribly worried about collision, but comp covers all the acts of God/nature out there.
