All ActivityMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsRe: 5th Wheel vs. GooseneckYou can put a goose neck hitch in the bed and use a hitch on it like the b&w companion or an Anderson. Most rv pin boxes aren’t strong enough for a goose neck adapter and manufacturer warranties won’t support it.Re: Pulled to the left when being passed by Big Rigs Lantley wrote: A Hensley or Propride hitch will eliminate the big truck push pull. Not exactly. While the hitch will help, you will still have the push, only it is different. The truck and trailer get pushed together as one and won’t flex at the hitch point like a regular hitch. You will be more in control and won’t have sway but you will still feel the bow wave.Re: Frig won't ignite on propaneMake sure battery is fully charged. My fridge won’t light unless battery is over 90% even if plugged in to shore power.Re: Thinking about the next Tow Vehicle5100lbs dry? That can easily push 6500lbs loaded. That will exceed the tow limits of most mid size SUVs. You’d be easily within the range of any half ton with a turbo V6 or V8. A tuck will have a longer wheelbase than an SUV and be more stable. Since you specifically mention a Tundra and buying used I would recommend checking it out. They are reliable and will hold value over the long run. The drivetrain is bulletproof. It is geared for towing and won’t even notice that weight except for in MPGs, it is thirsty. The Taco is a little undersized for what you want to tow.Re: Where have all the members gone on this forum?I’ve noticed the same. New posts usually decline over the winter months to less than a page but the summer months usually had easily 2 pages of new posts per day. Today including this post there wasn’t even half a page. Sad.Re: Fifth Wheel Hitch - tried searcingGet an under mount gooseneck hitch and then either an Anderson or b&w companion fifth wheel for it. The b&w isn’t light weight but is a superior hitch.Re: RVing with a HD Pick up in Ontario shum02 wrote: I got caught as well owing about a little over $300. Seems someone renewed my plates at the passenger rate instead of the HD pickup rate. Drag. I spent a bit of time with a nice girl from the MTO who took me through it on the phone after being on hold for two hours. Even if I had noticed while renewing the plates that is what they where doing at the time. Still waiting for the invoice to pay. It's a PITA that I'm actually going to have to send a cheque in to pay for this instead of online or at an actual office, not even sure I have any? Considering who's at the helm of the Provincial .gov here in ON I shouldn't be surprised. You can pay it online after you’ve gotten all 3 letters and set up the account.Re: RVing with a HD Pick up in OntarioGot the third letter, the actual invoice, today. What a waste of money on postage and paper. The method of payment is also very inconvenient. Certified cheque or money order or you can pay online through the Ontario Pay and File website which is not very user friendly. Pretty sure it cost the government more than the $23 I owed to send 3 letters and process payment. No wonder the MTO licensing stickers were dropped because it cost more than it made.Re: RVing with a HD Pick up in Ontario JaxDad wrote: camp-n-family wrote: Any vehicle in Ontario with a gvwr over 4,500kgs (9900lbs) is automatically deemed a commercial vehicle regardless of its purpose. That’s not true, there are certainly many vehicles that are not caught in that. Motorhomes are a prime example. All 3 of mine, A, C and a ‘work in progress’ truck conversion have “passenger” (blue) plates on them. The C has a 10,500 lbs GVWR, the A has a 22,000 lbs GVWR, and the TC has a 60,600 GVWR. You’re right. I was specifically referring to trucks but wasn’t clear.Re: Idle/Drive Ratio2017 Ram 2500 Cummins 102,000kms (63k miles) 125 idle hours 1511 drive hours 8% idle hours (cold winter start warm ups) and average 68km/h or 42mph
