Well . . . picked ours up and hauled it home from the repair shop after major axle and spring failure . . . and got the estimate for the repair!
Will be getting it fixed very soon the way it should have been when it was new . . .
The repair shop is charging us his cost on all the parts (axle, springs, & five tires & wheels + labor) . . . so now around $2000.00 from his original estimate of close to $5000.00!

Loading it up now. Getting read to hit the road. 200 mile trip should be a nice test for new Sailuns.

Those MaxxAire covers are awesome!
Took about 10 minutes to install the one on our trailer.
You can see it at right in the first shot and just in front of the AC unit in the second shot.

I went out and loved on it, and exercised the generator.

Just finished cleaning all 3 vents and the skylight in bathroom. Installed 4" Eternabond tape and then the 3 Maxxair covers. Just put the tape on the skylight.lol. Getting way to old for this roof stuff. Hence the Eternabond tape. Tomorrow I'll go back up and seal the small vents and wash the roof. I still have my strips of plywood on roof so my big a... doesn't fall through. Now, the only caulking to ever be done again is on the front and rear caps. Had Debbie help me with the cleaning and taping. We don't work well together.lol I almost had to shove her off of the roof on 2 occasions. So tomorrow I'll wash it with the one step cleaner and protector.

And how was the tow?

Towed real good, had a big head wind all the way mileage was just under 10 mpg at speed limit 65 & 70. Tons of power never shifted out of 6th gear. Return trip averaged 15 mpg at 72 mph. just turned 1K miles today.

I have some caulking separation on the left side they are going to look at.

That mileage is good news, I have almost exactly the same truck except mine has the 3.73 gears and just turned 200 miles today. I just got my Reese mounting adapter installed this afternoon, getting the bed sprayed on Wednesday and 60 gallon aux. fuel tank/tool box installed shortly after that. My first tow will be to the S. Texas Chapter rally in Boerne, TX on the 16th. Can't wait to see how much better it tows than my old 06 2500 Chev.

That is about what I get.
Good to hear the gears don't have much of an effect.
I suspect with an even heavier trailer like a Cyclone the mileage might actually improve a bit.
How does the front end feel?
