Re: how do towing services work?

I called Aaaaah local big rig towing place nearby and was told they bill 150.00 per hour and not per mile and there a 2 hour minimum charge. So I'm contemplating coach net coverage Sounds like you just answered your own question. What are you asking?????590Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2015 Silverado Navigation up, are you kidding???

More often than not it can't find an address, takes me the long way around or can't locate anything at all. Huge waste of money as an option...and now for only $159.995 I can get the latest updates for it. ARE YOU KIDDING ??? I can buy a whole new GPS for that and get free updates for life! If you are buying a new Chevrolet...don't waste any money on the piece of krap Navigation system....And now ask me how I really feel about it. B.O. It has alwsays been that way. Much cheaper to buy a GPS and get free service.203Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tripod for 5er
When someone is walking around inside the 5er it will bounce/wiggle. Rubber tires will bounce, suspension systems are made to bounce. To eliminate the bouncing/wiggling you need to keep the weight from pushing down on the tires and suspension by making sure your stabilizers are tight between the 5er and the ground. Don’t just let them out far enough to touch the ground, turn the crank more to make sure they are tight so they will not allow the 5er to push down on the tires. Use a bipod/tripod under the king pin. Make sure it is tight between the ground and the king pin, don’t just adjust it till it touches, tighten it so the front overhang will not move. Make sure to check the stabilizers and bipod/tripod every couple of days because they will loosen up over time. Doesn’t make sense spending a lot of money on landing jack stabilizers when the landing jacks are stable and don’t bounce up and down. If you have properly adjusted the stabilizers and bipod/tripod then you shouldn’t have any bouncing/wiggling. This has worked for me over the past 15 years. Chocks are to keep the 5er from rolling forward or backwards. They do not eliminate the weight of the 5er from pushing down and causing the bouncing/wiggling. If you park on a site that has a incline/decline then you probably want to use chocks to keep your 5er from rolling when you unhitch. There are a lot of other options out there to “eliminate” the bouncing/wiggling if you have the extra money and want to spend it.388Views0likes0Comments
