    Need some advice on a tow vehicle

    DO NOT, repeat DO NOT buy simply because someone says a 350 or 3500 or bigger or whatever.......buy what is capable (including modifications) of pulling your rig. A DRW seems to be the wow item.............I pull a 16,000 lb 5er and use a SRW F250 modified and it will outcarry and outpull any...

    The Ultimate Self Defense Weapon for the RV and Home

    yes the TAZER really knocks the snot out of you (I also rode that monster) but attaching it to a bad guy is not as easy as you might think. Grab the wrist and turn it, well now you are going to get the volts. Also ever felt the spark plug shock..............wet your pants right...

    DRW vs SRW and Gas vs Diesel

    Forgot to add it will be a 2WD which can pull 1300# more than a 4WD simply because of the drive weight and configuration of a 4WD. Don't foget that most of the posts are about STOCK rigs and there is a concern there; but, begin modifications and you will see a world of difference. Air bags...

    DRW vs SRW and Gas vs Diesel

    After owning three differant desiel configs I must admit (oh I hate this!!!) that the DRW Dodge is going to be my puller (Bighorn 3580RL). It really is the only true desiel (inline) and the milage and power simply can't be beat. I wish I could hook it to an Allison tranny and a Ford...

    WOW! I was offered CW5 at my retirement in 1991. My best friend was Mike Novasell (the medal of Honer winner) and I flew with him that day! I received 47 air medals and 6 purple hearts. I was shot down 11 times, some as loach pilot and some as UH1C gun pilot with the 48 th AHC in Laos. I am...

    Said it before, will say it again!

    Most advise from "what tow vehicle to use" comes from someone that is a first timer or someone that is so impressed with what they bought it MUST be the best. Actually the average person has no idea what "true deisel" or "torque" or "pulling torque" or most any other term used in pulling means...

    Big horn & f-350

    Anybody that towes a 16K 5er at 80 MPH is either very new at this or has never seen the outcome of such a rediculous stunt! Blow a tire at 80 and it is all over. You aren't from UTAH are you?

    Anyone tow with a 2011 Chevy 2500HD?

    Agree with Bob and Patty in all BUT the "Legal" term. Legal only comes into play if you have a commercial tag on your tow rig!

    here we go again, water in the basement

    They (Heartland) do a VERY poor job of routing water lines. I took mine apart and ran them above the floor. They are one of the worst for this!!!!

    Blew the turbo

    Hasty! I am retired military also. I was in the 1st Aviation Brigade in I Corps Vietnam (282nd alleycats and then the 48th jokers). I spent about 2 1/2 years in Vietnam and 26 years in the military. I retired a CW4P but decided to turn down CW5 and get on with life.

    Blew the turbo

    I flew commercial aircraft (jet) for years and the temp thing is VERY important. In the aviation world it is called "peak soak temperature" and all jet engines run 2 minutes at idle to cool the internal parts before fuel is cut off. Temperature moves inwards and heats bearings and internal...

    Shotgun into Canada

    I lived in AK for many many years and worked for the Fish and Game. The term "Sour Dough" meant someone that spent a winter in the INTERIOR (NOT Anchorage) and now it means someone Sour on Alaska and not enough Dough to get out! I gave up on making a living there (but must admit, I lived so...

    I would never put blocks under the landing gear! Drop off is common and if the wheels are not blocked watch out! Bishes RV in Idaho Falls just paid out $12,000.00 on damage to a customer truck because they had it on blocks and when backing hit the pin and the 5er dropped on the bed with full...

    My new purchase

    A reply that means nothing! How many rounds do you fire a year? That would make it a worthwhile statement. I shoot IPSEC and about 5000 rounds a month and the weapon you speak of would NOT hold up in any sence of the word. Absolutely any gun will hold up with the average 200 rounds a year!

    Honda Generator Installed In 3185RL

    Great job! I don't free camp much and really like the extra space that the modification would take. I have two Yamaha 2000s that I ling together when I go places that need it and I put them in the Pickup bed. They weigh nothing and therefore are easy to get out if needed. I like the storage...

    Do airbags have any effect on tires?

    airbags are lifts that support weight!! Nothing more. They are NOT shocks and are not there to make the ride better...they are the to carry weight! THAT IS ALL THEY DO.
