Re: Can I tow this?
Yes, of course you can tow it. Get a good hitch like one made by equalizer with real spring bars instead of the mickey mouse flimsy ones that are out there. Then set it up right and it will tow and handle like a dream It's all in the set up. You won't break a rear spring or lose a rear axle bearing, a transmission or hurt your tow vehicle in any way. I've pulled a lot bigger with a lot less. Like I said It's all in the set up. Also keep your trailer brakes in good shape. I'm sure I'll get a lot of disagreements. I'm just going by my own experience.886Views0likes0Comments- 792Views0likes0Comments
directv dish
I have a question. I have directv and a small older automatic dome type dish on my rv. Since directv went to HD I no longer receive any programing. I've been thinking of buying a winegard GM 9000 automatic carry out dish and mounting it on the roof in place of my old dish. Do these have the ability to pick up all directv channels? I don't care about the HD I just want to get all the channels I used to get. I use the receiver from my house it's HD and hooked up to a 3 transducer dish. This same receiver use to work with my old dish until they went to HD. I would be grateful for any info.1.9KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Tires on a 5th wheel and aggravation
You can buy it or not but I've had two tires blow out over the years that I was using as spares. They were both good looking tires. They were Good Year marathons and neither one was on the ground and neither one had any discernible flaws. They also had the right amount of air pressure. It happens. I was in the house when the 2nd one blew. I heard a big bang went out and there was pieces of my spare tire cover all over and a big hole in the tire.2.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: DirecTV dropping DNS
I got the same letter as everyone else. I'm not sure changing to dish would make any difference. The regulations should be the same for both providers. I live in MT and receive both east and west coast network feeds. My sister, also MT and directv, gets just one feed for the networks. Not sure which feed. She didn't get any notice. Evidently it won't affect her. Where I live I don't get any tv period unless I'm on satellite. It will be interesting to see what happens. If I lose both feeds I'll have to check out dish as well. Never have gotten any kind of local feeds on directv and don't really care. Directv needs to do a better job of explaining.244Views0likes0CommentsRe: dodge 2500 with coil over air bags
IdaD wrote: Looks like a coil sprung toilet plunger I had several years back. What you see is not an airbag. You can look under my pickup and you will not see an airbag, a coil spring or leaf springs. I don't believe leaf springs are available anymore on any of the 2019 dodge 2500's. The 2500 is only available with coils. Now with that said, the auto air leveling system with bags is available as a option. They are exactly what they are listed as, a auto leveling system with the use of airbags. They do not take the place of springs. When you order the auto leveling you get a integrated coil over air. This is encased in a plastic shroud. That is what you are looking at in the picture. Crawl under one and take a hold of what you think is an airbag. It is just a cover nothing more. Very easy to tell because it fits very loosely around the unit. You can crawl underneath drain all the air out of the bags and still have up and down action due to the coils. It's obvious I'm just wasting my time here so I won't waste it anymore on this thread and will move on. You are arguing about something that you know nothing. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Kind of like politics, if it doesn't agree with your way of thinking it must be fake.702Views0likes0Comments
