Do you care to share a few photos of your setup? I’m not opposed to a 5th wheel except for the truck bed storage. Thanks.

Thanks for the info

My only question about gas burners is the longevity factor, when used for towing mostly. I also like the idea of hill descent speed control with a diesel. I could live with the mpg issue, if it has enough torque to pull those long grades without shifting in and out of lower and higher gears. Had...

I appreciate what you are saying but I’m 60, so I likely won’t own but the one travel trailer. I’ve got maybe 15 years left to travel without being a danger to others on the road. Hopefully I can go for 25 years but that will be pushing it most likely.

At one time I wanted a 5th wheel, but have ruled it out because it takes away the storage capacity of the truck bed. If someone has a large 5th wheel they have plenty of storage, but not on small ones. I’m going to install a retractable, locking bed cover for coolers, generator etc. that will be...

I don’t want to strain the driveline is why I’m going with the heavier duty pickup. I was out west in 2019 in a gmc 1500 with a 5.3, not towing and those long grades out there made the trans gear down to maintain 80 mph. Going into a strong headwind I had to back off to 65 mph to keep it from...

I have plans to purchase a 26-27 ft travel trailer and truck for towing. My question is about the truck mostly. It is my great hope to travel the country quite a bit in the years to come. My question is basically gas or diesel? At a minimum I’m getting a 3/4 ton but a single wheel ton truck is...

8-4 best case.

Just stop.

Hype played a big role in this. His in game decisions sucked. Going for 4th down in your own end reeked of desperation and his refusal to go under center and do the scrum push everyone else does that is near impossible to stop is on him. He should have punted both times. The whole 2nd half was...

Don’t overthink it. Put in a pitch to counter the middle blitz. If they are bringing everyone, let the end leak out and just lob it to him. Oh, no wide splits by the OL either. Make it a rugby scrum.

Had opportunity to go to this game but declined due to heat. Body can’t shed heat well anymore since vagus nerve was damaged.

Mush ado about nothing since they managed it. I worked in heat most of my adult life. Some days it bothers you more than others, but everyday managing the heat is on your mind. Anytime you are on a surface the heat reflects back up, it’s way worse. During basic training at Ft Benning in 83, I...

They had all week to get their minds right, why would a weather delay help?

We struggle badly against lefty pitchers no matter how good they are.
