Re: TV/Fifth Wheel combo provide an acceptable ride?
4x4ord wrote: You said you run just enough air pressure to be off your overloads. I didn't think the F250 had overloads? I think you should try dumping the air out of your air bags. I'm guessing your overload springs are banging oon thier supports. My truck rides very similar towing as it does empty. Some F250's have overloads. Essentially he has an F350 if it has overloads. I don't use airbags and my truck rides on the overloads. I consider my combo to ride quite comfortably. I agree try running with no air in the airbags so the truck will use its suspension the way it was originally setup.431Views0likes0CommentsRe: Full time rv living
This is crazy.... So many negative people here. I and my wife are fulltiming in our rig with our 2 kids and a dog. Our kids are ages 2 and 4. My kids are happy and don't care. When we talk about the house we are trying to build sometimes my 4 year old gets sad because she doesn't want to move out of the 5er. We have been full time in our 5er for 17 months. We expected to have our house almost complete by now, but have had some wetland, tidal, critical area hurdles to cross. The climate is not nearly as intense here as it is in Ohio. We had a very cold winter this last winter. If I remember correctly we had 7 or 8 days in a row the warmest it got was 32F. We had no freezing issues whatsoever. We had no skirting either. I am not recommending to go without skirting, I am only stating we didn't have it. The winter was fine, no hardships. We played in the snow, built snowmen. We had a 6' Christmas tree in our living room and Christmas lights hung inside the 5er. All was well and still is well... The one thing I can agree with is that living in an RV is not exceptionally cheaper by any stretch. Our 5er insurance is actually higher that our homeowners insurance was. Our car insurance went up because we lost some discounts. By living at your in-laws you will save your current mortgage or rent, but you will gain an RV payment.762Views0likes0CommentsRe: Washington State parks over crowding

Traffic was terrible. It took us 6 and a half hours to travel 191 miles. Traffic from Everett to Olympia has also been terrible lately. It took a friend of mine 10 hours to get from Bellingham, WA to Vancouver, WA a couple weeks ago.489Views0likes0CommentsRe: Propane tanks on 5th wheel

Mine came filled I have purchased 2 fifth wheels new, each from different dealers, and both came with filled propane tanks. Hopefully during PDI you would find out if full or empty. I always test my furnace and hot water heater on propane during PDI.241Views0likes0CommentsRe: Where To Dump Black Water When Dry Camping
Grit dog wrote: City folk vs country folk......love it! Some of y'all need to get out of the city more..... Question to the nay Sayers, what do you do when you have to take a leak or drop a deuce in the woods? Hold it til you run back to "civilization"? Bag it and throw it in your pack with lunch and the compass? Here's a nice little fact to gross out the city slickers. The entire Victoria BC area dumps ALL their raw sewage into the water. Have been forever! We just got the contract to build the first sewer treatment plant there, lol. (Better stop eating that wild caught salmon and halibut from the strait of Juan de fuca. Them fish get fat on recycled poutine and Kokanee!) I just caught a halibut out on Middle Bank on May 4th. It was delicious!!!282Views0likes0Comments
