The ET hitch was out of adjustment. It was running 1 inch from the bottom. According to Henry's web site it should ride about 3 inches from the bottom. A little adjusting of the valve raised it. The trailer should be about level now. I put the truck in the shop this afternoon and started working on some of the small items. One of the hood latch cables was frozen. I had to take half the dash out and remove the air cleaner to get it out. I have a list of filters to pick up tomorrow. It needs an oil change and general servicing. I have an air leak at the solenoids on the cross member under the cab. One of the solenoids is cracked. I need to remove them in the morning and then decide how much to replace.

Yep.

Front of the camper needs to go up.

We have already lowered the pin box as far as it will adjust. I still need 1-2 inches higher on the front of the trailer to be perfectly level.

We are now part of the hdt community. It is a 2012 Volvo 630. The plans are to put a bed on it at some point. We want to add windows to the sleeper and replace the bunk with a bench seat. I trip to see Jack Mayer may be in the planning. We lowered the pin box on the trailer after these pictures were taken. I still need to get the hitch an inch or two higher. I have not played with the height valve on the ET hitch yet. I am not sure if I can raise it or not.

Thank Guys, I see two advantages to a MDT, but there are certainly cons also. The MDT is heavier than an LDT and will control the trailer better. The MDT is smaller and can be used as a run around vehicle after arriving at the destination. My ideal HDT would haul a Jeep. That truck is getting long and maneuverability would be bad in some RV parks we have stayed in. You see a few MDT's with big block engines that have the same power/torque as an HDT. But they are hard to find. I am still studying the options. I like the idea of the MDT, but the price is certainly a draw back. Having no power advantage over a LDT is certainly a draw back.

What moved you from the MDT? What are the specific advantages to an HDT over an MDT?

I keep a lot of that stuff in stock. I usually make pretty good orders. I am not sure what their current minimum is.

I am a couple hundred miles from Atlanta. Let me know if I can help. Might be able to store the truck for you and I have a CDL.

No

We are between Decatur and Muscle Shoals. Yes length does concern me. It limits stopping places when traveling.

Hi to all. By way of introduction, my wife and I live in North Alabama. We are slowly working our way toward a full time RV life style. We are studying options for when we replace our current truck and we might move toward a heavier FW in the future also. I farm and I own 3 class 8 trucks so I am quite familiar with trucks. But I am getting bed ideas from this and other forums. I would like to be able to haul vehicle such as a Jeep, but I see that length becomes a problem.
