Re: Voltage owners. Wood under the slide outs?
We love ours too! We use it 10 months a year and go out at least once a month during those ten months. If you keep the slides maintained, they haven't been a problem for me. I agree, the bottom of our slides haven't been wet. If you think about it how are they going to get wet? when you travel you close the slides and they sit above the inside floor, when you camp then you extend them, how are they getting wet underneath them when set up?553Views0likes0CommentsRe: First Long Trip Damage Report

Yes, this is GREAT advice! Also spray the silicone spray along the thick rubber sweep under each slide. Try to get the silicone spray on both the inside and outside of this sweep. Don't forget to spray the u shaped portion under each of the metal tracks where the rollers go.418Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2013 Ram 3500 or 2013 F350

Thanks Reports I have read indicate this option is a mid 2014 model year option, so not likely available until late next winter or early spring. I really like my Ram 3500! Not sure I would agree about ride being better in one vs the other anymore.287Views0likes0CommentsRe: 5th adapter

I am the one possibly risking my drivetrain by starting with taller gears. But not any less safe than the 4:10 MaxTow Dually. So ratings IMHO should be taken with a grain of salt. Just to correct a statement here, but there is a lot more different than gear ratio between the 2011 Ram the 2013 Ram. The 13 has a whole new frame under it, different front end, axles, etc.388Views0likes0CommentsRe: Toy Hauler Pictures

Does the new Ram have the new Aisin Heavy Duty transmission with the 850 lbs ft of torque, or the normal 68re tranny? Aisin with 850 torque = yes! I love it! It also has 4:10 gearing in the rear end.167Views0likes0CommentsRe: Question about tires
You can get nice All Terrain tires that can increase your capacity. Don't just look at the load rating, look at the actual tire rating. Example, most "E" rated tires will have a rating of 2900 - 3200lbs per tire. Falken makes an "E" rated AT tire that rates at 3900lbs per tire, so going with this tire would increase your tow rating. Be sure to match the rim rating to the tire, but a lot of aftermarket rim's will be rated up to the "E" tire ratings or slightly beyond. If you are looking for "G" rated tires then your rim selection is reduced dramatically. As others mentioned, if you increase the diameter of the tire you change the gear ratio's of the truck, but sometimes that can be beneficial. Again as an example, my previous truck with stock tires was a diesel, with stock tires would turn 1900 rpm at 62mph. 1900 rpm was that trucks strongest pulling and best mpg point. I put larger tires that did not require lifting the truck and was able to get to 1900 rpm at 70mph. This change didn't impact my towing experience as the motor still had enough grunt to pull my various trailers. I guess my point, is there is truth to the advice already given but also there is other options to consider. Good luck in your quest!243Views0likes0Comments
