Neat little trick conversion
I am moving and instead of paying to have my RV moved this time I decided to pull it and I rented a U-Haul to pull my 20’ cargo trailer. The only problem I had was my trailer is setup with a 2 5/16” coupler and the U-Haul has a welded 2” ball rated for 10k. My trailer is lighter than this and even though the U-Haul has a 2” channel to put an offset hitch in I really didn’t want to spend a ton of money on an entire hitch just for the one trip. So how to use a 2” ball with a 2 5/16” coupler? I found this, I didn’t even know these existed but super cheap and as long as I’m not exceeding the rating of the 2” ball.

I’m dropping it for a few small repairs before I sell. 85 to 90 psi would be just fine with that weight but what is the ply rating, E, F or G. They are G rated.458Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tire life?

My question is I have S637 tires that are 12/15 dated with lots of tread so what’s the usual life span on these tires? Also they list 110psi on the sidewall and I’m running 80psi. Should I air them up to max? In a couple months I’m making the journey from Houston to Orlando and prepping early.3.2KViews0likes26CommentsParks around Houston
Are there any parks around Houston area that have some room? Everything I’ve seen so far has been a parking lot with hookups. Most seem to have sprang up since the hurricane last year. It’s not just Houston but seems most parks are trying to maximize quantity of RVs to maximize profits but dang give me a little room. I remember 3 years ago staying in Arkansas at a park that you had almost a house plot for your site.460Views0likes1CommentRe: Never thought we'd consider a 5er...but .. (part 2)
Nice coach! Threw me off when you said built Aug 2019. I was like wow your super patient to wait that long. I really love Montana’s front windows and that opposing rear door is super cool. I’ve never seen that. Enjoy the new found room, I switched last year. Jeff418Views0likes0CommentsRe: What 34-39' FW do you recommend for FULL TIME Living?
I would look at the full body paint (looks way better especially a darker color) and stay under 10 years just to prevent the hassle. Lots of the parks in CA and here in Texas I’ve done have had 10year rules. One in CA did check and make a copy of the registration. Usually a waiting list to get in the parks there so you don’t argue lol. I found that around 3-5years is a sweet spot in age and depreciation. My Landmark was 80k new in 2013 and I bought it in 2017 for 26k.473Views0likes0Comments
