That's messed UP. substitute messed for (many adjectives)
-
I can't comment on that, but as one who had to clean out my dad's place without my dad, you could ask your kids to help start the process. Many things left behind from dad that I don't know the story behind. I pray for my children that I will not leave a mess that I had to process after my dad passed. OR, hire a local to take stuff slowly down from attic, sort through it, and give to kids as you hope for.

At least you work at a place with a great loaner program

I agree, and I would change your filters as well. Also, get online and complain to the Main site, Marathon, whoever. Might get a voucher

Great. Those are the best fixes, cheap

My daughter recently got employed by Hormel Foods. Rest assured, Spam is still a significant product, they ship it globally by the truck loads on pallets, many third world countries. I personally saw one of the production processes in Omaha, crazy. They cook the Spam in the can flying around the conveyor lines. Then wrap the can at the end. The bulk of it is produced at their plant south of Minneapolis, where the Spam Museum is.

It would be hard to get a fair trial, The man that puts on the MD at his place in Oberlin, owns a 3rd Gen. Puc in 2020, he's too honest of a man, we'll never get someone like that representing 'we the people' -

I'm a fan of Mobil.1 for my wife's Camry. Only needs changed every 10k miles, although I do it at 9k. Meijers sells 5 gal 0-20 jug for $23. Go on Amazon and buy a case of filters, much cheaper in bulk. Me too, I just wish they would get with the times and let you type a receipt code and do it online. Yes, Yukon XL loves it as well. -
I have a cover, you'll hear arguments both ways. I keep mine covered to keep the sun off the graphics, cover all my tires for same reason. You wouldn't want to shrink wrap it, it is important that the cover and process breathes, or you will uncover a moldy mess in the spring. A couple tips: I take my battery out, but whatever you decide, you will want to install a battery disconnect switch / lever on the post. I have a keyed type, micky mouse plastic key I mounted to my battery box. The TT will have a parasitic drain, mostly from the propane sensor you will see probably by the floor under the oven, small white box, also the radio. After a month, the battery will be mostly discharged if not disconnected or charging. Some leave TT plugged in, but for me, I only use mine 7-10 times a year, and it sits beside garage. I don't keep plugged in until day before I'm leaving, and I do disconnect battery with switch. Keeps little fingers from playing with outside light switches and power tongue too. (obviously, if you install disconnect, it needs to be on when you plug the TT in, or it won't charge the battery) On the WDH, you will find to use your power tongue, keep your hitch connected, raise the tongue and rear of truck slightly, it will take a bunch of the tension off the WDH bars and make the connecting or disconnecting process way easier. The power tongue is painfully slow, but beats crankin. lol Keep your refrigerator and freezer door propped open when not in use, it will mold inside if you don't. Feel free to PM if you have newbie questions.

AND power levelers, sweet. and I thought my cordless drill was nice.. Safe travels, take it easy, no hurry, you got a load behind you.

Realy Nice Trailer Freebird. Life is good, new bike, new truck, new camper Here is a link to the first thing you might upgrade on the beautiful new TT. That crankin gets old really fast. https://www.amazon.com/Lippert-285318-3500LB-Power-Tongue/dp/B00JMHHF9Q/ref=asc_df_B00JMHHF9Q/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312087868266&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2586950643733008826&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016155&hvtargid=pla-433996485816&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=58868507981&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312087868266&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2586950643733008826&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016155&hvtargid=pla-433996485816 And I agree with VideoAZ, that WDH hitch is a good one. I have a Reese trunion type, I like it. Make sure if it ever had water added that it has been winterized, or nasty surprise in the spring.

I'll bet it was better than a cup of Joe getting the adrenaline pumping. I have key on a small ring, I once turned off bike, pulled key, dropped it down the steering neck, in-between the radiator and 'hot engine', on the road. I too carry a spare key ever since that 1/2 hour nightmare.

Nice ride, and color I agree with others, that color is the fastest, way faster than blue ones.

I'm a younger guy, never served in any branch, but just want to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you that served.

I do agree, they should meet specifications. Too many times I see stuff, and have bought stuff, on Amazon that is truly a knock off, packaged and labelled just like the original brand. My only fear is, I think the Dollar Store 'might' be more vulnerable to getting a hold of a knock off, more so than a Bigger name store or Autostore. Don't get me wrong. Dollar Store has it's place (great for birthday / holiday cards), but some items that have big consequences, I will spend the extra $ in hopes of better assurance that it is, what it says it is.

Yup, a lot of hatred here in Indiana as well. Seems it's hard to pick and choose the best candidate any more, so much BS, and truth is, on important votes, they must stay with their party lines. One thing personally I hope for is, we gotta put limits on how long these folks can stay in Washington. Way to much muscle power when someone from either side stays in office too long, they tend to get too far in bed with their lobbyist companies with financial means, and the insane amount of money being spent nowadays, you don't have a chance to win your seat without deep pockets. Meanwhile, the shootings continue. God Bless America

Plan on a 1 ton diesel dually to pull it
-
Don, good man, do your homework. Go to a RV show over the winter, just for ideas and floorplans that work for you guys. Floorplan is the number one thing, you will pull it for hours, but stay in it for days. I'm also on rvforum.net, great place for recommendations and advise, free to belong too. Quality is all over the place, and new trailers are certain to have an issue that needs fixed, big or small, and RV dealers are not held to same standards as auto dealers, so can be a pain to get fixed. Everyone on the RV forum, including myself will encourage you to get slightly used, and stay far away from Camping World. I'm all for buying slightly used off the elder couple that hardly used it, stored inside. Those deals are actually very common, just most people need to finance with a dealer, and fall into that trap. Jayco is still a good brand, I'm totally happy with my Forest River, Puma TT. I went this route because I'm a tall guy, Jayco and Puma are taller interior ceilings for a TT. Nash makes a good trailer, Airstream of course. What you will find is don't get all worked up over 'Forest River' and tag them as not good, they will have a decent line, and lower line. I say this tongue and cheek, because most all TT now days conform to terrible build quality, they just don't build them like they use to. The RV industry is busting at the seams trying to keep up, up 17% from 2016 to 2017. The biggest issue we see, is everyone thinks they can come close to maxing their 1500 or 150, and they are miserable towing it. Here is a great video explaining other things to consider I have seen many people argue and debate that their truck meets the specs, only to buy a 2500 or 250 a year later, including a neighbor of mine. Good luck
