Always enjoy these discussions. And I've spent a fair amount of time considering the issue, before replacing my old 2006 F250 6.0 liter diesel this winter. Researching the difference between F250 and F350, there essentially isn't any except suspension. So a set of boosters in a 250 makes it...

In this part of the world we have a saying: "a 2wd pickup is a truck looking for a place to get stuck". Unless you never drive off the pavement and never drive on snow, I would suggest 4wd is the answer. Re: DRW - IMO, the only reason for having dualies is the extra load carrying capacity...

Good idea. Will give that a try, when the time comes.

Thanks! We're gonna do some shopping! Definitely like them...

They look great. Two questions: - what make/model are they and where did you find them? - do you restrain them (tie them down) on the road? If not - have they moved much on you? Thanks for the inspiration! Don

Made the (apparently common) mistake of running my electric landing gear all the way up last weekend as we hooked up to get on the road. Never do this normally, but got distracted and it just happened. And surprise, surprise - it stopped working. OK, thinks I - fuse blew. Checked fuse panel...

Did you have any problem pulling out the dinette, and were the walls finished behind it, or did you have to do any work beyond just pulling them out? Curious, Don

What a good question. Haven't gotten that far, but I suspect we'll just toss it. It's not as if this is a quality piece of furniture, and I have no idea where else we might use it. Appreciate your thoughts on the subject. When I get around to the reno work, I'll update this with some pics...

Great tip on Makarios RV - went to their site and found a pretty rare adaptor (50A twist-lock female to 30A blade male) that I've been looking all over for - found one just one place and they wanted $115 for it - and Makarios had it for $65 + shipping. Needless to say, the order's been placed...

We want to replace the Dinette/table assembly with a pair of recliners. We almost never use the dinette table, eating off trays and a couple of small folding tables. And we find the dinette seats marginally comfortable at best. A pair of small recliners, like the ones sold at Camping World...

Roger the CO problem, and how important it is to avoid it. But just a question from maybe a simple-minded RV'er: Why are you running your Generator for so long a period? Particularly when you're sleeping? We dry-camp regularly when snowbirding, sometimes for weeks at a time, and have never...

We don't full-time, but have spent a couple winters snowbirding, and LOVE the garage for use as a workroom, storeroom, shop area when we're on the road. We do carry our Motorcycle back there, but unload whenever we're stopped for more than a day or so, and park it outside to keep the garage...

Replace the shocks?! You've got SHOCKS?? Not me! Sure wish I did, but there's nothing on my Cyclone 3210 but springs and axles...

Interesting. The outside speakers on our 3210 were always on. No way to turn 'em off, (we and many others tried everything known to man) but the volume was low, so I ignored it for a while. Eventually I got sick of the problem and just disconnected the speaker wires at the speakers. Do you...

If you believe you can't have ramp problems unless you misuse the ramp, then you've missed the saga of our 3210. See here: //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/28726-ATF-Cyclone-Loading-ramp-failure?p=225418#post225418 Now: I would also not let this keep me from buying a TH. The flexibility of...
