I don't think being 250 pounds overweight is a big deal. Most of us here do it. Cort rolls at about 2,500 pounds overweight and he's still alive to tell the tale. I run airbags on my 250. Not essential but they do level the truck out and reduce suspension roll when cornering or on rough...

Thanks for the advice. I was really hoping to hear that my stock 100 amp alternator won't need upgrading. The shop that did the work raved about the remanufacturing facility and how awesome the alternators are. The owner claimed a "lifetime warranty", not so sure about that. What I am sure about...

Man oh man! you are a poster child for the 'small vs "normal" sized' pickup issue!

well go over to the redwoods! the trees, with the cover they provide, at least make the rain easier to deal with. I know its all damp but thats what the ferns and trees love. ever been to hendy woods? very few people are out this time of year and the parks away from population centers are...

kate palin.....i think in reality they are identical - lovers of themselves. thye have suckered in a lot of people.

The road to the campground and beach area is 6 miles long and was in very nice condition. no washboards at all, flat, no ruts, easily travelled by cars. ...as of 12/10 one other person was camping this time of year although we encounter 3 hikers just coming down from Shelter cove. Long hike...

Like you, I have heard that about the heater and assumed it to be true. But I was just checking out the thread on Expo and the reply about it being caused more by exhaling than by the heater makes sense. On the older campers like ours, the heater is located right by the rear door. But after a...

i bought my 2000 new, was mostly special order, it has been perfect. 130K miles at this time. get the 350.

I installed a panel mounted voltmeter and use 12.06 volts as a baseline for my 50% discharge. I try not to discharge my battery below 12.02 volts. I find with good sun that after a full day charging the battery is pretty well topped up. I don't stress too much about getting the perfect charge...

thats a tough one for us..... i would like to see the marble bathtub.

I have a Engel 45 quart and a 65 watt solar panel with one 75 amp hr battery. I have had no problems with it keeping the Engle going on a fridge setting of 34 degrees. I do usually have good daytime sun where I usually go and have done up to 5 days without moving. If you are going to run the...

I'm scratching my head trying to figure the best place for an HF antenna on my permanently mounted FWC/Blazer. Any ideas, photos appreciated... 73 de N6ZKS thats a common problem, fwc, or not. see deltaRAT for his screwdriver install on his dodge 4wd pu. and i do mean pu. ha ha. not hi...

i saw a f450, 4wd, drw, with a factory fifth wheel prep...rv connector in the bed etc. 65k wow there should be a law againg showing things like that in public!

Hole in the ground CG, in Lassen Natl Forest

while driving through oregon i noticed that all the weigh scales are left active even though they are not open/manned. i decided to take advantage of this and finally weigh my vehicle. with myself and my two brothers, their gear, 2/3 tank of water, 30 gal of fuel my truck weighed in at 5000...

i want one to those "save an elk...." stickers

brag brag brag man oh man whre are the pics?

if i stand outside the camper and look up inside the upper exterior fridge vent I can see an electrical component on the left hand side. it is mounted to the wood cabinet (the reflectix is cut out in this area) just under the cabinet top. it looks like a thermal switch?

we will go to jedediah smith state park in december. no one is there that time of year. even the camp host bugs out. dont care if it rains or snows. always warm and dry in the fwc.

Pretty easy to vent to the outside. it collects on any surface near a battery....and eats away at anything it contacts. all of us have seen the diff between a new battery compartment and one thats a year old. i dont think having that on the inside of a camper is going to work long term. its...

Plate size/weight most likely. Might infer the platinum is slightly more robust, or it might not be as efficient in materials usage/selection, could go either way. Local battery shop doing a closeout on that model, highly discounted. Those would be flooded cells which aren't an apples to...

allright, what did you goof up?

wow what is it? is it LED? i would mimic the stock install. do ya already have the exterior lights?

Jeff - According to the website, the plugs for the "big tire" size are 8" long and the standard size plugs are 4" long. The website makes it sound like the 4" size is correct for "light truck"/pickups (and cars) and the "big tire" size really refers to things of a scale like double-axle trucks...
