    A little nervous

    That's really promising, as it appears i should have a 600-700# increase, although my exact specification is not listed. I have 4 x 2, SRW, Crew Cab, 11100 GVWR. I have called Ford and my dealer, and I don't have an answer yet.

    A little nervous

    Our pin weight rating is at least 3700#. I have read that if I replace my LT 245 17" tires with 265 19" tires, it will increase the pin weight rating. Can anyone confirm this? If so, how much would it increase?

    A little nervous

    We just picked up our Bighorn on Friday. The brochure dry weight is about 12,400, but I guess all of our options took it up to almost 13,300. I have a 2011 F350 SRW 6.7. The max towing capacity is 16,000. Not that I can do anything about it at this point in time, but is this going to be a problem?

    Extended Warranty Cost

    Our finance guy said he was offering us the warranty at $50 over cost, but he sure seemed disappointed when we said no.

    The waiting is the hardest part!

    Thanks. We have had a lot of rain this Winter, but our Winters are real tame compared to many others. We do plan on going out locally for a 3 nighter over MLK weekend.

    Dying for new photos!

    Robert and Louise, Nice rig! Maybe all of us 3585ers can get together sometime? I guess we can let the others join us as well.

    Removing TV in 3585

    A somewhat related question. The bedroom tv has a restraint strap for travel. Should the living room tv have some sort of restraint as well, or is that not necessary due to the way it is mounted?

    would like to see a front living room unit

    I assume you have towed a TT? I have had 2 tent trailers, 1 travel trailer, and I am waiting on my 2nd fifth wheel. I would never go back to a TT. A 30' TT would add the same length when towing as a 35' 5er. But, the biggest difference to me is how much easier, and less stressful it is to tow a...

    Socal spring rally 2011

    We tried to check out the campground yesterday, but they don't let people drive through on the weekends. We did check out Prado Regional Park in Chino, and we were pretty impressed with that one. We will probably do our "shakedown" at Prado, then join you guys at Canyon in April (with some...

    Skid wheels

    My parents have a similar concern with a new 5th wheel. They were discouraged from putting n the skid wheels. What they are doing, is having the dealer flip the axles on the trailer. They will gain about 3" by doing this, which should give them the clearance they need. They also won't have to...
