Re: Silverado 1500 Towing
We run at 7600#(just TT) loaded on a normal trip with our setup....not winning any uphill races but not having any issues in the hills of PA and Northern NY....mileage stays around 9 to9 1/2 in tow/haul mode.....stability is fine and we have same issues most have with tractor trailers......892Views0likes0CommentsRe: camping with friends

I'm far too old and far to cranky to share my toys. I'd rather camp alone with a good book than having to let others put wear/tear on my things that I've worked hard to pay for. Kinda harsh I know, but try it this way at least once before you toss I'm the towel. Your wife might like it better maybe. X2313Views0likes0Comments- 509Views0likes0Comments
Re: electric awning
Retired Alex wrote: There are 2 types of electric awnings. One type just extends and has an automatic dumping feature that allows one end of the awning to collapse when there is a rain water build up on the awning. The problem with this type is that you never know which end of the awning is going to drop and allow the water to run off. Many of my friends, with this type, have been soaked when the awning dumps. Also you cannot adjust the height of this awning to compensate for the sun's angle, it just extends straight out. My preference is the Dometic 9100 electric awning. There are two adjustable arms on it that permit you to slope the awning so rain water drains off the end you choose. Also these arms allow you a 24 inch adjustment on the height of the awning so when the sun is low you can lower the awning to get more shade. The Dometic is available from Camping World for $982. Yes......get the adjustable pitch awning if your gonna go to electric.613Views0likes0CommentsRe: Who has a Kodiak 300BHSL? What's your tow vehicle?

I understand safety, that's why manufactures set limits which I'm within. I'm not opposed to upgrading to a bigger truck but the argument of sending out a boy to do a mans job doesn't make much sense if the "boy" is capable according to the manufacture. I appreciate your feedback but if its bei g towed within the limits I don't see much a valid argument to upgrade at this point... WELL PUT! This argument about half tons not being able to pull anything bigger than a lawn trailer drives me up the wall. I pull mine just fine. exactly! again....dont underestimate the 1/2 tons set up correctly.530Views0likes0CommentsRe: already looking to upgrade

I would suggest that you look at a TT that will accommodate your family and then buy a tent for the rare times that there will be guest. Also keep in mind that you will be towing with a 1/2 ton truck. Have Fun. dont under estimate your 1/2 ton.....set up the right way you wont have a problem.349Views0likes0Comments
