Re: Need RAM 5500 flat bed height
Do you mean from the stock truck frame rails to the ground? I can't answer because I have a 2015 on factory 19.5 Alcola wheels with 4 wheel drive. Asking about the height from the flat bed frame rails to the ground from any manufacturer could get you various answers, all of the right to the respective rig. Maybe this helps?1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Flat towing with your truck camper
I found magnetic lights on e-trailer often used with recovery vehicles to avoid stringing wire and lights over a towed vehicle. They're battery operated and receive brake, turn and running lights via a plug inserted in your 7-way. I have a metal cargo basket above my spare tire (2017 2 door Rubicon) and use additional velcro straps to hold them in place. 6 double A batteries in each fixture made it through our 6 week road trip last summer.1.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: NorCal Mini Truck Camper Rally - April 2023
Just arrived to spectacular scenery, light clouds and mostly sunny. Spent last night on the Sacramento River about 25 minutes away. Lassen, Shasta and peaks towards the Trinities are covered in snow. No need for weed wacking, the grasses are still low with wild flowers mixed in. See you guys here-818Views0likes0CommentsRe: NorCal Mini Truck Camper Rally - April 2023
Robert, we would like to take advantage of your offer of an early check-in. We have a friend within walking distance of your property and finalizing the timing of things for Wednesday or Thursday. Can I bring up a string weed Wacker and do any site prep for you knowing how we were arranged last year?485Views0likes0CommentsRe: Finally Common Sense in California (No Shows at Campgrounds)
Somewhat related, we were leaving the TCA rally in Quartzsite ( nice seeing 3tons and BFFord again!) to occupy a site in Joshua Tree reserved online (the good part) however the lone individual who runs the point of sales at Cottonwood Campground called in sick. Fortunately we have the lifetime senior pass for NPs and we coasted in. Others who needed to pay for an open spot or any merch within the visitors center was out of luck. Other employees were not trained or allowed access to the register. A lot of apologies were given put that day-1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Where to get three nights of peaceful RV time?
We run away to Ocean Cove just north of Timber Cove Lodge. No hook-ups but some beautiful ocean bluffs to walk on and a nice restaurant across the highway ( 2 lane) with views of the ocean. Closes up for the winter, first come- first serve.510Views0likes0Comments
