    What if? (6.5' bed dually)

    Re: What if? I would not buy a different pickup without an 8' bed. So my answer is no also... Just out of curiosity, why buy a short bed. If you're going to pull a 5th wheel why loose the space? it really isn't a big problem... Not to me anyway. FWIW BC

    Larger wheels on 4100

    Hi Oscar.. I guess a picture is worth a 1000 words. I put 17.5" rims and G114 tires on my Bighorn. They replaced 16" Michelin XPS Ribs. The 17.5" is in the middle.. Glad I made the change. BC

    My list of Campgrounds and Escapees parks

    I downloaded Garmin MapSource, which is no longer being updated but is still good for existing file use. I opened the GPX and a GDP (Garmin Data file) with no problems. Duane.. You need to get an update of S&T's. Also found out that if you save older S&T files say before 2009 you can't open...

    My list of Campgrounds and Escapees parks

    Wow.. Didn't see so many problems. I can load the GPX file into my 2013 S&T with no problem. It does not load as a route but as individual POI's. I don't have MapSource on this computer to test it. I don't any other mapping programs other than BaseCamp, MapSource and S&T. Bernie: what...

    My list of Campgrounds and Escapees parks

    The file uploaded is a GPX file inside a ZIP file. Double click on the ZIP file and you should see a file of the same name but with a GPX extension. I exported it from BaseCamp and was able to import it into Streets and Trips 2013. When you see the GPX file you can copy it to a different folder...

    2011 F350 What to ask?

    Duane Where did you get the information about the coolant. My dealer has been pushing their Gold all the time. I had someone put in some red or green and they told me I needed to change it back out to Gold. The mechanics tell me that the only difference between them is the time you need to...

    What's your favorite carry weapon?

    I have looked at the Glock, the M&P and the XDs. I have not shot any of them. I like the M&P and the XDs feel. Handle is larger. However I would like to fire them. Any idea of how to fire them before I buy them.... I was looking for a 40cal but the XDs 45 looks to be a bit larger for my hand... BC

    Things you might worry about.. You water pump could freeze. Disconnect the water hose from the shore services and the trailer. Remove your sewer hose and put it in the basement in a plastic bag or box. Put 2 - 150watt light bulbs in the basement and lower or remove the wall in the basement to...

    Just Got My RV760...

    I am still enjoying my RV760. Have found a couple of glitches. Sometimes when I am making a turn or the GPS is telling me the street to turn on it will announce part of the information then a little bit down the road it will finish. Like "Turn left on Stacy Road in half mile" or something like...

    RV vs Truck GPS user updates?

Only problem I find with it so far is some of the places on it are not there or it takes me to the wrong...

    Just Got My RV760...

    One thing I want to make sure you all know... I don't know if this will route me away from low underpasses yet. I did turn on a street here that has a tunnel and it warned me, but did not indicate the height, which on this tunnel was way more than enough. When I find out if it will tell me about...
