Same thing with our Torque, no ladder for the top bunk from the manufacturer. We had the dealer include one as part of the deal. Took two trips back to the dealer as it seem there are two length of bunk ladders. Other things to watch for that should be included but not always; spare tire...
If your main use for the truck is commuting back and forth to work and the truck pulls your trailer fine, I would stick with the gas engine. The diesels are designed to pull heavy and long. They do not handle daily commutes all that well and maintenance costs are sky high in comparison to a gas...
I would try and verify that the generator has been properly serviced as per what I am assuming is Onan's specifications. I believe they are looking for oil and filter changes every 150 hours and a Onan center tune up every 450 hours, part of which I think involves cylinder head...
When random camping we do a lot of outdoor showers. A couple of tarps attached near the back of the trailer in a "V" pattern provide privacy and allow easy in and out access. We pick up water from local lakes or streams so we are not using our fresh water. We heat the water either over a open...
I am curious about the pin height, as you mentioned from the ground to the bottom of the king pin. We pulled a little nose high with our old 08 F 350 and the 17 F 350 is higher than our old truck. I am curious if some of the tow hauler model lines a better adapted for the new higher trucks. I...
We picked up our 2017 F350 Platinum on the weekend, it took me few minutes to realize the truck was turning the high beams off and on by itself. It is a great feature, a lot of times I just run on low beam as the constant on and off gets to be a pain. The adaptive cruise control is great as well...
The extra valve is cheap insurance, beats cleaning the mess up if you dump when pulling the cap off. Not that many people bother with cleaning up after themselves.
The crisscrossed safety chains helped immensely when I had a sled trailer with out a load on it pop off the ball on a bad section of highway. The trailer as it turned out did not have enough tongue weight empty which combined with a cheap trailer coupler resulted in a big dent in my back bumper...
We also deleted the DPF/EGR on our 08 6.4 and so far has been the best thing we have done with the truck, well next to a updated flash on the truck but that was related to another problem that Ford programmed in on a earlier flash (the dreaded over boost code). I found in the winter it was...
On our '15 you pull the top riser off the stairs going up to the bathroom/bedroom and the pump is pretty much right there just in behind the water heater.
The more I ask questions and read, the more I find that it seems they are dropping little features that make one's life a whole bunch easier.

Forgot to mention that, when I checked ours out it is designed to cool through the floor.
We have a couple hundred hours on our generator now, all with the door closed. Currently do not even have a means of keeping it open, I am not sure why they did not install some kind of prop. The door is kind of a pain when trying to access the batteries, etc.
Our walls are starting to take a beating from loading and unloading the kayaks, dirt bikes and other misc. stuff we cannot seem to live without. I was starting to think about installing some aluminum diamond plate at least two feet up the wall and then running some sealant along the existing...
Mud, the diamond plate rubber matting looks real nice when new or clean. But quite the pain to clean. I used the shop vac to get the majority of it up, but...
I take it the Swiffer wetjet is flexible enough to get right down an in between?
We pulled out of the backcountry on the weekend and the front of the trailer was exposed to a lot of wet snow/mud/water. We found that when we arrived home we could not get the front gear down. Last night after the trailer has sat and dried out for a few days the gear is working properly again...
We just purchased a Torque and the first problem we ran into was how to tie down the bikes. Our Torque came with 4 D ring type tie down points, basically one in each corner. That is all right for a quad or side by side but does not work so well for bikes. So far I have found two manufacturers...
