Re: 35gal fuel station only takes 26gal
When I owned my Attitude I was told the fuel station would only pump until there was 6 gallons left in the tank, reserving that for generator only. I wonder if since your generator quit also maybe the generator fuel pickup is pulled higher into the tank and not reaching your last 6-10 gallons.448Views0likes0CommentsRe: The new ST tires. Fact or fiction (marketing)

Not every tire that comes of the line is put through the testing. They build an original "prototype" that is tested, and what is really being tested is the design and manufacturing process. What they expect is that their manufacturing process is good enough to consistantly produce the same results as the "ptototype" achieved. With that being said and knowing that if somethng can go wrong it will go wrong, not every tire that comes of the line is perfect and yes there will be failures. As consumers we just have to hope that the manufacturing process and controls at the factory are good enough that those failure are few.346Views0likes0CommentsRe: What do these letters mean?
All manufactures are differnet, so sometime it is hard to tell what they mean. Here are two examples from trailer I've owned. Attitude 23LFS - L=Light, FS=Front Sleeping. The trailer was also available with "Gel" exterior walls Which was LFSG. Sandstorm 286GSLR - G="Gel" sides, S=Slide, and I believe the LR tells where the slide is located, living room. Your question about "FBS? It a dinette slide out on the side.. Shouldn't that be SDS???" I'd say FB is either Front Bed or Front Bath. The S would be for slide. Just because it is FBS does not mean the slide is in the front bed/bath, just that there is a slide in the trailer. If my quess about my sandstorm is correct the letters after the "S" would tell you where the slide is located. The letters before tell you other things about trailer layout/options. But then again this is only my guess861Views0likes0CommentsHow long is to long?
I refer to myself as a backwoods camper, I like to camp off the beaten path. I currently own a 23ft bumper pull toy hauler but am looking to upgrade, but I have this fear of long trailers and getting into places I like to go. I found 2 trailer I like, one is bumper pull at 35ft and one is FW at 32 feet. Is my fear of length warranted or am I worrying for nothing? Will the ten feet make a whole lot of difference? When it comes to length and narrow roads and tight spaces which is better, FW or bumper pull?4.6KViews0likes20CommentsRe: 2007.5 Dodge 2500 steering wander?
I have had steering issues also and have been considering a stablaizer also. I replaced ball joints, tie rod ends and track bar and it seemed steering got worse. I had a steering box replaced a few years ago under warranty and after replacing all the parts my steering felt a lot like when the steering box went out. I was figuring that is what I would have to do again. One day I noticed my sway bar end bushing bolt was broken off and missing. I replaced both sides and it was a considerable improvement in steering. Might check yours also600Views0likes0CommentsRe: Yellowstone: what's the big deal about it?
It's not that Yellowstone is better than anywhere else, there is tons of beautiful scenery all over the world. It is however unique in the geysers, mud pots, and other geothermal feaures. Also the abundance of wildlife is hard to match. Unique and special in it's own right, but not "better" than anywhere else.145Views0likes0Comments
