    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Blasphemy! Considering a travel trailer?

    Looks like a great vintage find UHAULER. Glad to see that silver Ford is treating you well, it's funny how close I came to buying that exact truck. So far it's been good, I've had it about 10 months and put on about 13k miles.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Blasphemy! Considering a travel trailer?

    I might be one of the few who think a small camp trailer would be ideal. I picked up an old (1977) 15' trailer. I nicknamed it KINDLING :lol: It didn't cost a bunch of money so if it doesn't work out I will either sell it or burn it. I think a very practical small setup that would still be...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Memorial Weekend 2011

    Here is how I spent Memorial weekend. This was our first trip in our "retro" trailer, a 1977 wilderness 15'. The UHAULER just wasn't working for us, a regular cab was too small for the two of us and a dog and the camper part was too tight, we were always climbing, tripping over stuff. I sold...

    Here is my post from another thread regarding full size 3/4 ton GAS trucks. Of course this is comparing older gas trucks to pre emissions Diesels. I'm not sure if the difference in fuel mileage is as great on the newer trucks. That said, if I was looking at buying a new truck today I would...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West looking for a new truck

    I'm not sure which rear end gear set I have in my 03 Dodge quad cab 4x4 with a hemi auto but unloaded going 60-70 I'll get 15-16mph. With the FWC I'll get in the 13s at those speeds (at 80mph I'm high 11s to low 12s). I've never towed with it though. Diesels sure are nice though. I've got...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West looking for a new truck

    I just got back from a trip from Sacramento to Portland and back, 1150 miles on I-5 :angry: I was driving a company truck, an 05 Dodge quad cab 4x4 with the Hemi, Auto, 4.10 gears. Driving 60-70 mph it averaged about 11-12 mpg. The same truck towing a 5,000# tractor on a trailer weighing about...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Time to start from scratch

    I really admire you guys who can keep a vehicle for a long time. My brother just sold a 1985 cj7 that he has had for 23 years. My record is 7 years, I just sold a 2000 silverado 1/2 ton 2wd that I bought in 2003 with 45k miles. I've owned it for 7 years and put an additional 110k miles on it...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Loon Lake- short trip

    One neat thing we did encounter was a bunch of rock crawlers, I think it was a collaboration of 3-4 4wd clubs taking disabled Vets on the Rubicon trail. I think it was called WOUNDED WARRIORS.
