Re: Not liking this new format very much
I sure don't find this new format easy to use- as been said, to much facebook. There is a reason why I am not a facebook convert. Also, the log in using the RV Net sign in didn't work (as I expected). I will give this site a few more visits before I abandon it.765Views0likes0CommentsRe: One gas tank for fuel station and an onan generator
From what I remember with the Forest River products is they had one tank that was for both the genset and fuel station. One pump- a large one supplied the fuel for the ATVs or whatever vehicle you were refueling. The genset had its own fuel pump that pulled fuel from the tank.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How important is 90 degree turning?
What will "get you" is if you are turning while the truck is going up a slight grade while the trailer is facing down. Think of pulling out of a steep driveway while turning to enter a lane of travel. Same thing if you are cutting it sharp while backing into your RV space next to your house- up a 8% grade.2.9KViews1like0CommentsRe: F150 5.0 V8 or V6 Twin Turbo
I had an '11 F150 5.0, I pulled a car trailer hauling a Mustang, as well as a 21' TT. It pulled both with power to spare and delivered decent MPG, mid 9's-10. We had zero problems with the truck over 100K miles, traded it for a 6.7 F250 when we got a larger RV. While the V6 delivers lots of power, there seems to be a lot of talk regarding turbo longevity and of course the infamous cam phasers, both of which are greatly affected by how often the oil was changed, so if any candidates don't have solid maintenance records, I would pass.579Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fifth wheel Jerking with gas truck... not as noticeable
Krusty wrote: Sounds like it could also be a driveline shudder. Some trucks are more prone to it than others, depending on driveline type, wheelbase etc. They are fine at normal ride height until a load is applied and it changes the u-joint angles enough to create a shudder felt on accel from a stop. I had a similar issue but with a Ford, actually a couple of Fords (all LB CC DRW) It was finally determined to be just that driveline shudder / driveline wrap, most likely due to the carrier bearing being "soft" and allowing the driveline to whip around, as CC, LB has a long driveline. Were all your trucks the same? CC/LB..ETC? Do you know any Ford or Dodge owners? Perhaps a test tow with a non GM is in order.1.1KViews0likes0Comments
