We've noticed when we first got it last year that there was a raised bolt under the linoleum floor. Now there are 5 and they're getting worse each time we travel. I opened the plastic membrane under the RV to see if I could tighten them but it looks like they're located under the floor and can't be reached. It appears there's a slight bend in the floor along the line of bolts. Is there a way to fix this problem?

It has a 10,300 towing capacity and it may be the ticket to tow our trailer across the country. Has anyone had experience with this particular truck. I would appreciate your insight.Re: F250 Towing QuestionHow about a 2006 Silverado 6.0L V8 16V with a tow package? I think it's rated for 10,100 lbs. That should do it.F250 Towing QuestionHi Guys: We have chosen a TT that weights 8,000 lbs. and now that we know an F150 5.4L V8 won't be enough, will a 2003 F250 5.4L V8 pull it without a problem? I'm asking because it's an older F250 but with only 95K on it. Thanks!Re: Will the F150 Do the job?Looking at 2009 F150 models, would a 4.6L be sufficient or would the 5.4L do the job?Re: Will the F150 Do the job?Thanks guys. Am I pushing it if I went with a TT that weighs 7295 with a hitch weight of 990?Re: Will the F150 Do the job?Thanks for all the great feedback. The trailer hitch weight is 540 lbs. plus 2 people (280 lbs.), WDH is 75 lbs. and about 200 lbs. of stuff in the truck = 1,195 lbs. The truck payload is 1,640 so I'm okay with that. The dry weight of the trailer is 6,500 lbs. and I'm adding 1,000 lbs. (just saying 1K but it won't be that much) for stuff we'll be taking with us.Will the F150 Do the job?We want to get a 2014 Forest River Hemisphere travel trailer that weighs 6,600 lbs. and we're looking at an F150 to pull it. I found a 2007 Ford F150 5.4L V8 Triton with a towing package. I read online that it will tow a max of 9,500 lbs. Will the truck handle this particular RV? I'm going to put a brake controller and weight dist. hitch on it also. Thanks guys.
