I don't have a Chevy, I have a Ford. I usually find I get better info on my truck mechanicals from the Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forum - www.ford-trucks.com - than I get on RV forums. You might consider searching for a similar Chevy truck forum. If it's anything like the Ford site, they will...

How big is your water tank? The recommended amount is 1/4 cup of bleach for each 16 gallons of water. You need to not only sanitize the tank, but also your hot water heater and all your water lines. Drain your water tank and your water heater, then close both drains. Hook your water hose up...

A couple of thoughts: If you are going to be sliding this in and out of the bed, you really can't go 50.55 inches wide. You need a little 'wiggle room'. I think most truck campers are around 48 inches wide. Why do you want to take your tailgate off? I believe Alaska Campers build models...

My first computer was also a TRS 80. My first attempt at networking was to use Desqview 386 to tie two computers together as a computer BBS, running Wildcat software. And I ran the Mace Utilities rather than the Norton Utilities. Peter Norton may have invented the UnDelete command, but Paul...

About as well as AMOS and ANDY, or THE GREY GHOST

This probably doesn't apply very much to truck campers but it's interesting nonetheless. Steve Lehto is a lawyer in Michigan who specializes in consumer protection and "lemon laws". He also runs a very popular YouTube channel. He's just done one titled FIGHT THE URGE TO BUY AN RV. The basics...

If you've been planning to buy a DJI drone, you might want to pull the trigger right now, while there are still some on the shelves. https://www.diyphotography.net/autel-robotics-wins-patent-suit-over-dji-calls-for-stop-of-sale-and-import-of-most-dji-drones/

And what do you want to bet the woman will try to sue the government over her injuries?

I see Truck Camper Magazine is looking to hear from people who've spent time in Big Bend: https://www.truckcampermagazine.com/weekly-blog/have-you-visited-big-bend-national-park/

Well, this isn't good . . . Oregon is closing their state forests to boondocking until excessive trash and human waste can be cleaned up. https://rvlife.com/boondocking-oregon-closed/

Here you go:

Between all the problems their diesels had, plus the spark plug issues their gas engines had for nearly a decade, I don't trust ANY new Ford engine. I'm running an F250 with the 6.2 gas engine, but I only bought it AFTER it had been out for a few years and was known not to have any outstanding...

The people at the Long Long Honeymoon YouTube channel had their diesel truck "bulletproofed" and documented the whole thing. They show the cab lifting rig at around 5:00 minutes into this video: It was quite interesting to watch.

My father taught me that trick also, and I used it once to pull a buddy home when his car died one night. That chain-in-pipe trick must have been fairly well known once upon a time.

If you choose to relocate him by driving several miles out of town before releasing him, he will have an awesome tale of ALIEN ABDUCTION to tell his fellow possums. Strange creatures, a mysterious vehicle, bright lights . . .

Thanks for mentioning that. I found it on YouTube. Very interesting.

I'm thinking they've picked the worst possible time for this relaunch. 1: The economy is going to be very bad for the immediate future. People aren't going to have money for luxury items like this. Plus, I suspect that people will be selling off RVs, boats, and other "toys" at bargain...

The KKH may be the highest PAVED road in the world, but there are GRAVEL roads you can drive that are even higher. https://www.dangerousroads.org/rankings23/5269-highest-mountain-passes-of-south-america.html From a gasoline engine perspective, I wonder what's the highest altitude you would...

I've got the old school system of manually locking hubs. I just lock the hubs occasionally and leave it in 2wd. Gets everything in the front axle turning nicely.

My father once managed to bury our Case tractor in our pasture - the one with a stream running though it so it could give a fair impression of a swamp. I got it out eventually with a come-along. But that was enough to convince me that I'll rob liquor stores if I have to in order to have an...

Tom Shephard and other Brits all claim that the FIRST thing you do when you are stuck is to stop and brew tea. :) This to give you some time to calmly think about it.

Or, assuming you have access to an air compressor, you could just let the air out of a tire and physically check to see if your jack - with your base plate - will fit where it needs to go.

This can be a rather complex issue. It can depend on where you are. It can depend on the time of day. It can depend on how many other people are trying to use the cell towers at the same time. Everybody and their kid brother try to use the same cell towers in quartzite during the winter...

I can't help thinking that a small turbocharged engine isn't going to have the lifespan of a larger engine that's just loafing along much of the time. Wonder if anyone is actually getting 200,000 miles from something like the 2.7 Ecoboost? Know I'm dating myself here, but I actually owned a...
