Re: Do you have a bed liner?
I don't have a bedliner. My last two trucks had plastic bedliners. No rust in the bed. But I also stored the trucks in a barn/shop. My current truck does not have a bedliner. But the wife keeps telling me to get the spray on...I just haven't pulled the trigger.331Views0likes0CommentsRe: Gap year, family of 6, TV and TT recommendations
It can be done...but I wouldn't do it. My buddy uses a Ford E350 2015 with the 5.4 liter motor. Pulls a Bullet Ultra Light (Don't know the exact model). There are six of them. He hated towing over the Rockies. Another buddy has a 2015 F250 with the gas 6.0 pulling a Wolfpack (Don't know the exact model). There are five of them. He also hated pulling over the Rockies. He was doing 35MPH at 5500 RPMs in the truck lane. He told me this after they got back July 2019. You could start out with what you have. Since you are going for a year, is it in your budget to upgrade if you don't like your setup? Good luck.244Views0likes0CommentsRe: Toy hauler for kayaks and bicycles

Our first camper was a 1988 Prowler. We had it for 3 years. Our last two campers have been toy haulers (bumper pull) with all the fun stuff we carry.679Views0likes0CommentsLate check out
So this past weekend we got reservations a month ago for Friday thru Monday. Sunday afternoon I asked the camp ground owner if we could get a late checkout. He obliged. I told him that if there were people coming that we would leave. It's an 11:00 AM checkout. He said he would put them in the next site until we leave...we were planning to leave by 2:00 PM. The reason is the wife and I wanted to ride some more mountain bike trails, make brunch, shower and pack/leave. Well, the people showed up at noon. We were in the process of packing. They parked in the site next to us. I approached them and apologized. I told them we had permission to get late checkout...and that we were hurrying to get packed/leave. The lady proceeds to tell me that we were in their spot. Duh! She also tells me that they were supposed to be there Sunday. I didn't respond and just apologized again. They left in the car that was following the truck and fifth wheel. We were gone by 12:55 PM. Any body ever ask for a late check out? This is our second time asking. Never been turned down. On our invoice it states 3:00 PM arrival. There is no checkin time anywhere on the campground web site policy.5.8KViews0likes34Comments
