Re: 1/2 ton
You have got enough posts for you to know that it is not a good idea. There are not many fivers that should be towed with a 1/2 ton truck. Forest River stated that my fiver, 2012 V-Cross 275, 32 feet long, loaded up ready to go, pin weight 2,000 lbs and trailer rated for 9,950 lbs can be towed with a 1/2 ton. I would not even think of pulling it with anything less that what I have, 2011 F250, diesel, CC, RWD, longbed. Additionall, the tires on the type of fiver you are looking at are rated for 65 MPH and should not be driven at higher speeds.375Views0likes0CommentsRe: septic tank on our hunting ground
On my small ranch in SE Texas we have a septic system that I, together with my son and son-in-law installed in about 7 hours. it is the only one on the ranch. We did it without permits and knowone else knows that we did it. This was done for a total of $1,100 including rental of the backhoe. Had I got permits, $300, which includes a test that would have required a licensed installer and a arobic system at cost of $7,000 plus. Good Luck540Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fifth-Wheels
I also looked at the three fivers that you list and I have a 2011 F250 CC diesel longbed RWD and I know that they, when loaded up and ready to go, will be to heavy, the pin weight will be your first problem but there will be other issues regarding weight. I opted for a lighter fiver, a 2012 V-Cross 275 which has a listed dry pin weight of 1,193 lbs, hookedup and ready to go it has a pin weight of just over 2,000 lbs. Those three listed will have pin weights of around 3,000 lbs and you will be over the 10,000 lbs limit for the truck. Good Luck441Views0likes0CommentsRe: Purchasing a Fifth Wheel
A thirty foot, new fiver, all seasons, of very good quality for $30,000 or less, good luck. I looked for 17 months and never saw one that fit those requirements, not one. I felt that all of the Montana's were to heavy for my 2011, F250, XLT, CC, diesel, longbed, RWD and if the Laredo's and Jayco's are not up to your expections, I would not know what to tell you. They both have good reviews and are as good or better then the 2012 V-Cross 275 that I did buy, for $29,000, with 2 ACs and fifty AMP service. All season is a big problem, the ones that are all season will cost a lot more then that, even an Artic Fox will be more then that and I have not seen a cheaper all season fiver then the Artic Fox.

I got the Tailgater, 211 receiver and fifty feet of cable for $199, FedExed to my house, two day service. The catch is a new two year contract at about $40 per month, not pay for the months that you want. Also no sales tax because it came from Florida and I am in Texas.476Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hartford Auto Ins? Check this out.
From time to time I read of people who don't like AARP and when I ask why, most don't answer and some of those that do say because of their liberal views. Having never seen AARP as liberal, I ask for examples and as yet have never received an example? I have been a member for many years and read everything that they send and have not seen anything liberal.391Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hartford Auto Ins? Check this out.
I have never seen or heard of anything such as on insuring a $35,000(?) truck for only $13,000? If he has a loan on the truck, I wonder what the lean holder thinks of that? Autos and/or trucks are insured for ACV and RVs should be insured for replacement cost for the first five years, that is all most insurance companies will go for. Many people who add RVs to an auto policy that does not have repalcement cost will be in for a shock with a totaled RV that is paid off at ACV. In many cases they will owe more on the RV then ACV.

In February 2012 when I was looking for a fiver, there was no Montana fiver that I would or could safely pull with my 2011 F250, diesel, CC, longbed, RWD. I don't think you need to wait for real numbers, you would need a one ton dully. Good Luck315Views0likes0Comments
