    Need help buying a new hitch.

    Garry, did you order the 3500 with the bed delete option so you can put a hauler bed on the truck? I will say I have lots more usable bed space without the big 5th Wheel hitch occupying the bed. The only pain was swapping the standard pin box out for the Reese Goose Box, it weight around 180#...

    ATF: Gateway - stangermd

    Stangermd, I have the same model gateway as you have and I am able to run a 20 Amp extension code out to it to keep the batteries topped off and the refer running without any issues, not enough to run the A/C but it keeps the refer cold and batteries charged.

    Moving Up 1/4 Ton at a Time

    42' = 350/3500 Dually territory !!!, then you have the extra capacity to carry an auxiliary fuel tank and not max out with your pin weight, plus you could always move unto a 450 next year and an MDT the following year

    Re: ATF: Cyclone - Cyclone 4100 King Tires Bob, The G614 is not an LT it is an STR (Special Trailer Radial) and the Big Horn should have 7K axles unless you have downgraded them from the factory

    Don't think this is a good idea....

    Jim, The guy I was talking to was a retired truck driver with a CDL with double endearment with a HDT with a not for hire logo on the side, so technically he was legal since double pulls are legal in Az.

    Don't think this is a good idea....

    I saw a guy this weekend pulling a 40' toy hauler with a jeep being pulled behind it with an over all length of over 80'. His TV was a Volvo tractor with tandum duals and he had a Blue Ox brake controller on the jeep, so not a stopping issue but VERY LONG!!!

    TOWMAX TIRES Get rid of them! HEARTLAND REPS READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    John, If you are putting new tires on your trailer maybe you should consider the valor TPMS like I did because it get the internal PSI and temp and not just the PSI and temp at the valve stem, and since the tires will be off the rim for mounting they can install the sensor band while mounting...

    Problem with BBQ and gas line

    Ok, to answer a few of the questions here.... I have had experience with all of your problems..... Initially I had reservations about the gas hose length, I had my dealer provide me with a 6' hose, and it WORKS in an optimal length from burning the side of the rig. I keep the swingarm on...

    My question is Where do you purchase Sailun tires for your RV? If you are offered them as an alternative to TowMax and cannot buy them from a reputable dealer this would cause concern for me. Will Discount Tire or like nation wide dealers offer the tire warranty that are offered by the other...
