I am looking for opinions on hauling them on a truck roof. I have a super crew F150 with a topper and am considering purchasing a rack that clamps onto the door jam, but would like to hear your experiences first. Thanks!Helper springs or air bags?Hi all - I have a 2019 F150 3.5l EB w/6.5' box, and a 24' Coachmen Apex BH. The rig tows fine and I have good WD, but am considering helper springs or air bags to help with the slight sag I have. I have also read that helper springs can aid in sway control, and I am curious of its validity. I don't have sway issues, but naturally a strong cross wind can lead to some white knuckles. I would appreciate any opinions from those with experience with either. Thank you in advance!Re: Couch, or No CouchWe chose the 24ft BH variety with the U shaped dinette due to vehicle constraints and it works for us with a 3 yr old and 1 yr old. But our next will definitely have the couch. So in short, yes couch.Re: Build Quality SoonerWing03 wrote: Completely new to the Travel Trailer game and am wondering if there are any brands that generally produce better quality trailers than others. I know that you can find gems and lemons from any brand but wondering if I can increase my chances of getting a gem and limiting them of getting a lemon with one brand over another. With a budget of ~$20 K obviously Airstream isn’t an option. With all of the brands seamingly making roughly the same floor plans, which brands should I consider... or does it really matterThe floor plan we like is one like the Apex Ultra Lite 245BHS. We purchased a 2017 Apex 24LE last year and so far are very pleased with the build quality and trailer overall. No issues so far in 3 trips and 10 nights.Portable Waste tankHi Everyone - I am considering buying a portable waste tank for some longer trips we have coming up and am looking for advice. What is a good model? Do you recommend for both black and gray? My tanks are both 30 gallon, what size should I target? Thanks in advance!Re: Upside down DIY drill press for working under the RVInteresting idea. X2 on the mag drill, very fast set up but most don't have access to one. What material are you attaching?Re: Camp Chef BBQ BoxThanks for the reply, I have had my Camp Chef stove and griddle for a couple years and love it. It looks like you were having some fun when you took that pic! Where is the margarita machine from?Camp Chef BBQ BoxHi Everyone - I am looking for opinions on the Camp Chef BBQ Box with hinged lid. I have the two burner explorer stove and thought this might be a good solution over buying a stand alone grill. Does anyone have experience with one?Re: Sunday's ham GordonThree wrote: Nothing special here. Rubbed it down with yellow mustard and brown sugar, smoked with maple wood. I enjoy cooking while camping, more so than cooking at home. Looks great! We had to bail on our Easter trip due to the weather and two sick kids... How was the trip?Re: Pit Barrel Cooker Gjac wrote: Do you just use regular charcoal briquette's with the PBC or wood blocks like oak or hickory? I use Kingsford blue which they recommend and also wood chunks for extra smoke.
