Re: Does generator brand make a difference?
I was looking at the predator, and saw the reviews on Harbor Freight website. The ones that made reference to using it with an RV said the same thing, popping the breaker too easy. I was considering the predator, but not now.

Re: Bed in a Box Mattress Advice
JR - Thanks. Did you look at the selection at Walmart? They have a 90 day return policy, and the prices are about 1/2 of several of the others. Take a look. I am leaning towards their mattress. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Spa-Sensations-12-Theratouch-Memory-Foam-Mattress-Multiple-Sizes/10086752

Bed in a Box Mattress Advice
Hey All - Picking up our new 5'er in a few weeks, and already know we will have to replace the lumpy token mattress. Has anyone tried the "Bed in a Box"? Pretty compulsive ads on their website with lots of testimonials. However, I am more comfortable with reviews that are not provided via a sellers website. Anyone with first hand experience with this product, please let us know your thoughts. Thanks! Dan & Shirlee http://www.bedinabox.com/

Re: Size Matters!
Just want to say thanks very much for the valuable insight. We have decided on the Keystone Montana High Country 305RL - 34' and about 20% under the truck tow capacity, so we are good to go. Hope to meet some of you down the road! Again, Thanks! Dan & Shirley

Re: Size Matters!
Thanks so far! Great info. We are looking at a 35' (Heartland BC 3150RL) with dry weight just under 11,000#. Figuring normal load of about 2,500#, this makes 13,500# which is about 15% under the rated towing load of the (2010) F-250 diesel. To those towing pros does this fit the truck, or still think 1 ton dually? Thanks.

Size Matters!
Hello All – We are new to RV forum. We have had smaller rv’s in the past, but now in retirement are looking to buy a 5th wheel TT. Currently looking at 35 to 39 foot long. We will equip to dry camp, so as to have the most choices of campgrounds. We have room to store the unit at home, and I am pretty comfortable with backing/maneuvering. Plans are to eventually do some long distance travel around the USA, starting in So Cal. What I would like to know is what experiences (good or bad) you have seen or had that make you favor one size vs. the other. Thanks in advance for your “seasoned” insight.

Re: Superglide Install
I did install this exact setup. As others have posted, it took a fair amount of time, but was not real hard. I have a ford F250, and my frame mounts used several factory holes for bolts and as reference. The directions were good, and accurate. I like to do my own work as I don't exactly trust other installers, and this is a critical install. You will need a torque wrench. The most tricky part is drilling the holes in the bed once you have the frame mounts installed. These have to be exact measurements. Recommend reviewing the install manual at the Pullrite website. I also installed Firestone 5000# airbags at the same time to accommodate the hitch weight of our soon to purchase 5'er. Good Luck.
