Are you still using the Reese Strait Line John?

Hi Fish,

Yes, I am still using the original HP DC bought in Jan 2004 on the first camper. When the T310SR in my sig came along in 2007, I upgraded the trunnion WD bars from 1,200 to 1,700# and I bought the 2 1/2" shank to handle the heavier tongue weight of the camper. The the rest of the hitch moved to the new camper.

I'm still at 1,600# TW fully loaded, on just under 10K pounds GVW on the camper, the DC has close to 65K miles on it with the same older style snapup's bolted to the frame. The 1,700# WD bars and 2 1/2" shank at approx. 45K miles. We lost 2 years of long distance camping with Covid issues or the miles would of been higher.

Same camper, same hitch, same truck. Although I did buy a new ARE truck cap last summer, wish I had done that sooner. No plans in the near or longer distance future to change anything.

Thanks

John

Hi John,
Ya when we talked last you'd just retired and built a new house with a huge shop, glad you're doing well.

Not much change on this end either, same truck and trailer, take the Dodge off the road in the winter now, lotsa salt and sand up here and not in a hurry to buy a newer truck with all the pollution ****, sensors etc.
