Last summer my truck appeared to have a bit less power while climbing a hill without towing the trailer. Curious, I looked over at the pyro and watched it shoot up to 1140. Backed way off in time to...

When we were in the South we got a lot of heat/sun through the large rear window. The local Camping World (not sure where) had rolls of window film made for this purpose. It was available either as...

Hi Steve

I went throgh tracing this a few years ago, and found that in my unit the one A/C was on my 20 amp line, and everything else was on my 30 amp line. So when I hook up at my home site I use...

Hi Kathy

We have a 2003 2880 28ft Montana. We ordered it without the sofa and put two LaziBoy's in its place on the side slide. The dining table (on the same slide) gets a little close, but works...

The backup sensor should not be able to be engaged unless you are in reverse, so that is probably not the cause. Since it happens every 60 sec, I would first suspect the clock (radio) as you probably...

At www.parallaxpower.com Parallax lists an option for "two-step" charging that prevents overcharging during long term storage. Don't know if it is available as an add-on, though.

I cut some 1x2 framing about 18 inches long. Got some velcro tape, and taped (and stappled) 4 inch long pieces of the hook side to each end of the 1x2's. Didn't need the other side.

The 1x2's can...

I have to agree with Steve. My 2003 F-350 has all the power I need to tow my 12,000 lb Montana. I had considered adding a chip for more power, but after towing in the Rockies and Appalacians last...

Just a note that if you were heading south toward Myrtle Beach on I-95, the road surface just inside the SC boarder is awful and noted for producing sway and surge. But it should have cleared up when...

I had one old aluminum "Tandum Wheel Lock" that worked great. Simple lever throw. But I only had one, and at the time I could not find anyone who carried it. (Camping World now does carry it again.)...

I bought a simular unit, and it has worked fine for me at many campgrounds. I usually only need 30 amps, but running two lines for 50 amps makes it less likely that I will trip a breaker. Since I...

Recently I added a desk and bought various clips at the hardware store. None was stong enough.

I agree with Steve that the tow-haul on the 6.0 auto will hold speed on 8% or less grades. So I don't see the need for an exhaust brake on my truck.

But just some notes

Bought one six months ago.
Doesn't fit anything useful on my PrestoLock system.
If I'm not mistaken, it only works if the drain fitting has two nibs sticking out. Many do. Mine don't.

Hi Gene

Hi Gary
You didn't mention what year your truck was, what engine it had, etc. (Do you really have 18 inch wheels, or was that a typo?)

Anyway, you are probably exceeding the GCWR for a F-250, but...

I also agree that you need a 1 ton diesel for that weight.
But the price difference between a F-250 and F-350 is only a few hundred dollars last time I checked.
