Re: '16 Ram 2500 CTD first tow. Some thing is wrond
I have a 2010 Dodge 3500, pulling 1100-1200 lbs. I use tow haul in towns, but turn it off otherwise. I usually use cruise control on the road. As a hill becomes steeper, speed will drop 3-4 mph below set speed before a downshift. On downhill grades, as speed increases, the speed may go 4-5 mph over before a downshift. I consider it normal. Down long 6% grades with curves, I will usually adjust the cruise down several mph below my usual 59 mph set speed.490Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dish Network On The Road

Some of the places we camp have no cell service. I sometimes change our service address to our next location before leaving our current location. Never been a problem. I use the Dish online chat function rather than calling them to make the change. Thanks for the info. Wife would like it, me...eh. Expensive proposition. We camped 34 days last year, in 5 different months, and our 2 weeks in Colorado in June has us in a campsite that I don't remember how well it is open through the trees to the south.

My 2010 Dodge 3500's GVWR is 10,100 lbs. With my Reflection 303RLS hitched, the weight on my truck's axles is 10,580 lbs. My Reflection's GVWR is 11,995 lbs. OP's Solitude's GVWR is 15,000 lbs. My 3500 is overloaded by 470 lbs. (and the RV is not fully loaded) OP's 2500 overload is a given.467Views0likes0CommentsRe: fifth wheel hooking up guides
Trailer aids (magnetic poles), left over from the TT. One on center top of the pin box, one on center of the 5th wheel mounting bar. Head in the center of the head rest and watch the mirror. Perfect line up every time. When the pole is knocked over, get out and make the final height adjustment with the landing gear. Back in the last foot. Hitched.318Views0likes0CommentsRe: A stop off I10 not to miss

But the experience will be welcomed. Nice place if your a Bass fisherman. A whole lot hotter, better not plan a summer trip there, JMO. We stayed there a couple of weeks ago, during a warm spell. We used both air conditioners in the day. Good sites with great views (lake side of the road). May go back, but in February time frame. This month, our camp site will be at 6300'.330Views0likes0Comments
