Re: Looking for dog friendly park in Yuma, AZ
We spent January at Cocopah Bend RV & Golf resort. Dog park is almost 3 acres, and even though it isn’t fenced everyone lets their well mannered dogs off leash to play. Our dogs absolutely loved it, best experience we’ve had so far. Flanked by cauliflower fields and the golf course, it is outside of town on the north west side. Very quiet, all kinds of activities and everyone was so friendly. The rv sites are gravel with a concrete patio. We had plenty of room to park our dually in our site, and still have room to sit outside and enjoy the weather. Unfortunately I was not able to fix my slice.632Views0likes0CommentsRe: Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer. The Real Deal
Truck full of fuel, hitch, tonneau cover, two dogs, wife and I: Steer 5390 Drive 4730 Total 10,120 And pinned up: Steer 5434 Drive 8294 Trailer 13728 GCVW 27,456 GCWR 37,800 2015 Ram 3500 DRW Mega Cab with 50 gallon Transfer Flow auxiliary tank and B&W Companion hitch, towing a 2015 Dynamax Trilogy 38RE. Full of fuel, myself, wife and two dogs. Trailer stocked for camping including 3 30 pound propane tanks, full fridge and pantry, and full fresh tank. 5500 Onan, separate washer and dryer, 4 deep cycle batteries, residential fridge. Under on all axles roughly as follows: Front 500lbs Drive 1500 Trailer group 2250 But GVWRs I only have 300 pounds on truck. Trailer has over 1k room. I would like a bit more weight on the steer axle, but it tows so nicely now, and can turn sharper than I am willing to twist the axles with side stress. If truck didn't have auto levelling maybe it would be an issue?437Views0likes0CommentsRe: Young FW full timer needs a new rig 4 months out

Thank you for the replies. I do believe the electric is working, but it seems to have quite poor performance. I will check to make sure I am not getting cold mixed in with the hot, and go from there. I appreciate the feedback regarding the on demand unit, don't want to spend the money if it is a waste.212Views0likes0CommentsReplace suburban SW12DE with Atwood On Demand?
Hello all, We are finding the water heater in our new coach leaves a bit to be desired. We prefer longer showers, and the recovery rate does not permit this. Our old trailer if you had both power and gas heaters on, provided an ample source of hot water and fast recovery when you did run out. Perhaps I am missing something here, but I have the gas heater on, as well as the electric and even a relatively quick shower exhausts the hot water supply. So we are considering replacing the hot water tank with an Atwood on demand heater. Interested to hear pros and cons, or different ideas all together. Thanks in advance. We camp almost exclusively in full service sites. Overnight in walmart a few times a year. No boondocking, no kids.1.4KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer.
