Re: Survey: How often do you chock your wheels?
Always when unhitched. Storage is flat so i just do one side but at camping site both sides get chocked. I know it's overkill but I use 12" 6x6 blocks. I needed them a few times on spots that were not level side to side and needed to stack 3 level blocks under the tires to get level side to side. If I had tried to use smaller plastic type chocks they would not have been tall enough on the downhill side. I've had the camper slide with the front jacks on wood before without chocks so now I chock every time.680Views0likes0CommentsRe: Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer. The Real Deal

Same truck as yours. At about 160K a ring broke in the overdrive unit and cut a groove in the overdrive gear. Got it replaced but could never get all the fine metal out. It finally started collecting on the solenoids so I had the tranny rebuilt local. Lucky for me we have a company called Suncoast Transmissions here and they build a great product. Best thing I ever did. I picked up a couple miles per gallon because the thing was slipping so bad before the rebuild. Installed a triple disc converter, new valve body, billet input/output shafts, and other stuff. Raised the pressure so it really locks into gear now with minimum to no slipping. Dodge built some slip into the tranny because of complaints that it shifted too hard which eventually leads to wear of the parts.657Views0likes0CommentsRe: Keystone cougar
1 year into owning our 2015 Cougar 303RLS. No major problems so far with about 1300 miles on it, would have more but work decided different. use for us is about 4-5 nights each trip nothing close to full time but we enjoy it. did about a 4 hour pdi on it when i went to get it after the tech was through with his checks. even then no major issues popped up. might fall apart tomorrow but today it's been good to us.585Views0likes0Comments
