I want to add steps/nerf bars to my long bed dually, but have yet to find ones that I like. My preference is a tubular step (round or oval) vs. a running board with the whole length having a stepping surface vs. the 3 individual step areas that some bars have. I'd love to see pics of what...

Does this get into using data on your ipad, mifi plan? Most places I have stayed don't have wifi that would support serious data usage, so have been hesitant to try the slingbox option...but still considering it.

As to the original question...I doubt there's a finite answer due to so many variables, but I'll pass my experience and advice on. Keep in mind we are from NC and never spent any time in the Midwest. We were in Kansas last Sept and a rain storm came up...just rain at first, then without any...

For the most part, I don't care where my locals are coming from. If they are where I last parked the RV, that's OK because like Bill says above, I can either use the campground cable or the roof antenna (usually) to get local locals. What I do get by having locals come in thru the Dish network...

As a TV junkie and hard core user of DVR, I needed a better solution than using cable at home and campground cable/OTA while on the road, sometimes for a few months at a time. I wanted to switch to satellite so I could have the same service at home and on the road. Direct TV came out and said...

Many thanks to all who commented and provided me with their experiences and advice. Aaron is just as everyone says he is, very helpful. I ordered the TS3 along with the air compressor w/ switch, 3" spacer kit as Aaron said I would need, the wiring harness that powers the air compressor, a lube...

Yes, they do supply them at a cost. It's not a lot, but I've had bad experiences with others working on my stuff, so I would rather do it myself. Not drilling extra holes seems like a good thing, but know that they won't weaken the frame anyway. I have found 3 different rails on the Reese...

Have hoist, can lift. I currently have a PullRite Super Glide and this is how I get it out of my 2500. I learned that not only does Reese have brackets that fit existing holes in the truck frame, but they have an "outboard" style bracket and rails where the rails attach to the bracket on the...

After reading reviews on several forums, I am looking to buy the TS3 air hitch now to go in a new 3500 Silverado, just wondering about a few issues & options: Does anyone use mounting other than standard bedrails ? I've never had bedrails that stay in the truck (only my removeable pullrite...

Lemme guess...Tom Sawyer's ?? Great place...must go back sometime.

Unless you've already "been there, done that", you would want to include the Keys in your tour to truly travel the perimeter. We did the perimeter of Fla a while back in a month...didn't see everything, but so glad we included the Keys.

Vinny, That's quite a trip you've got planned and certainly doable, but I don't recommend trying to beeline it. From my 5 yrs of RV'ing and taking longer trips, I'll offer my advice to make it a more pleasurable trip. Pick a route you want to travel and identify any stops you want to make to...

I find that the employees in my local Verizon store are just not in tune with details such as the above statement or I may have already purchased one. They also did not know the details of suspending the MiFi I bought in January...now I find that I can only suspend it for a max of 180 days per...

Re: rt40ashvillenc to pigonforge tn If your camper is well under your max towing capacity, then you should have no trouble at all. I've got a 3/4 ton truck and pull a fiver that's 3K lbs under my max trailer wt and I go up Black Mtn grade with the cruise on at 55-60 mph....sometimes I'm even...

I too am a potential Heartland owner. would love to know which other plants you visited and what your thoughts were after those visits...specifics are welcomed. If you don't want to post here, feel free to send via PM.

TST here. had one sensor quit after 23 months, but was replaced at no charge by TST under warranty. I bought as part of a "group buy" on another RV forum. As part of the group purchase, we got a discount plus an extra year on the warranty. Top notch system and folks to deal with IMHO.

High pinning would be raising the pin box too high for the pin to engage in the hitch, which allows the hitch to push the fifth wheel backwards instead of locking in. In that event, the landing gear legs could bend/fail allowing the fiver to land on the bedrails or (in my case) if using blocks...

At first I thought it was a German version of a cuss word, but later found out that DAMHIKT stood for "Don't Ask Me How I Know That"..

While both products would appear to catch the pin on an accidental release or hitch failure, the one from Butch's would not appear to save the bedrails in the event of "highpinning" during hookup. I would say more dropped fivers occur during the hookup process than while towing or...

Was there in '08. If you really want to see the Canyon, stay at Trailer Village at the South Rim. Reservations are made thru Xanterra, a vendor for the National Park system. The shuttles are great and we drove to some of the easternmost overlooks as well. We spent 3 nights there and it was...

Just saw an article from RV Business talking about the new 2+5 warranty on the LM and it also stated "The Landmark is currently available in four floorplans in lengths of 33 to 41 feet, with two new floorplans coming to market in the next 90 days". Jim or Kary, is this correct ? Are we gonna...

x2 on Campfire Lodgings. The first sites you come to on the right have a wonderful overlook. Haven't stayed there, but did visit someone while they were camped there.

what about the width ? Seems like it's under 30".

Any results yet ?

In looking at those cabinets, I've wondered why they don't attach the shelves to the island and have just the door attached to the hinges. It would be less weight on the hinges and with a lip on the shelf, items wouldn't tend to try and open the door during travel.

Oh well. Thanks for the replies.

Thanks Jim. I believe that is the first TPO roof I've actually looked at....looks nice. What are the pros/cons of TPO vs rubber ?

I've seen at least two Landmarks with this option, but can't tell if the TV pulls out and swings for viewing or not....sales folks didn't know either. It would seem that it should in case there is a glare it can be turned. If anyone has one or knows more, please chime in. Thanks, Brent

Was looking at one the other day and climbed up the ladder to view the roof. I was thinking it was a rubber roof, but it looked different than my current rubber roof....it had a pebbled texture...looked really good. Was I looking at a rubber roof or have they started using something...

Here is a pic of where I had my plug installed in the bed. Just below the stake pocket, easy run for the wires. If your truck wasn't already set up for towing, you may have the "5th wheel trailering provision" which is just an extra receptacle with a long harness. It would be tie wrapped up...

Wow, really nice place to camp...nice rig & dog. gotta ask, where was the drip coming from to make the icicle ? Also wondering about heating the RV during sub-freezing temps...we typically use space heaters but haven't camped in sub freezing temps either. I assume you have to run the propane...

Oh goodness, you have picked a great area to camp in. I'll make a few comments now while they are on my mind. If we see we will be around, we may be able to make this rally. 1. Go see the elk that are nearby, they are rutting that time of year. 2. If any of you are square dancers, the next RV...

Our fiver (keystone product) a/c has a "dry" setting that doesn't necessarily cool the air, but runs it across the coils to get the moisture out. I hear the compressor come on and off, but the fans runs continuously while in that setting. We use space heaters instead of the furnace, so are...

I have the Pullrite 18K hitch with superrails (under bed mounting) and it is heavy, so I intalled a HF hoist in the garage ceiling and built a dolly to put the hitch on and roll it out of the way when I do take it out of the truck.

What part of NC is the home/land in ?

Hi there, I'm a bit late to the party for Hershey, but just haven't been on the site for a while. I joined last spring to learn what the owners had to say about their RV's and then realized it would be a while before I could upgrade. We are coming to Hershey to narrow down our "shopping list"...

I do believe I'd like them on my next RV, and have wondered if there are any downsides (other than $$) to having the toppers a foot or so wider to better prevent rain/debris from getting on top of the slide ?

Have stayed at MBTP & Apache. Apache has 90* back ins, real tight on both sides...won't go back when MBTP is a mile away and has nice pull thru sites and the Lazy River. We've camped at MBTP the past 3 yrs in Oct. Would like to try out some CG's on the south side, but the folks we visit in...

On our way to Fla in Jan, we stopped at a Walmart in Valdosta, just off I-75. Fueled up at the Murphy station at Walmart, pulled into the back of the parking lot with few more RV's and went to bed. I had called ahead to ensure they allowed overnight RV parking. Brent
