Let's not get to comfy on that high horse there Mrs. New Jersey. Ever since Rolling Rock was bought by A-B and moved from Latrobe, Pa to some armpit in Newark NJ, I can't even drink it anymore. 2 sips tops and I want to wretch. Just thinking about how it tastes now is sending involuntary spasms to my stomach [emoji13] I guess that in the end it's a good thing though as it cut my alcohol consumption way down as that was my warm weather beer of choice.

Congratulations on finally being able to possess what is your rightful property!

We were camped across from them in March of 2015. Never got to introduce ourselves though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mo, So sorry to hear about Brady. I wish I knew the right thing to say to help, but I'm glad that you guys and him had a great bond for almost 15 years.

You made me go back a page and actually read the whole menu Jen posted. I hate you.... :)

Nacole, I did not have that issue with the Pilots/Flying J's back in March of 2015 for our 2000mi. round trip to the Fort. I did have that problem at other "normal" gas stations.

I love and hate my 36 gallon tank. Great for towing. Not so great at the pump when you are on fumes and want to fill up and the card won't authorize a transaction over $75. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here in Adams county the churches call it slippery pot pie. Up in Perry county it had crust. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I should clarify my post that I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't safe. I felt 100% safe there. South of the Border. I will not hesitate to stay there again. Scenery is lacking but for a quick overnighter, it's perfect.

I'm not sure if you're asking me or Nacole as she has a 250 and I have a 2500. Anyway, I have a full floating axle.

I think you might be getting confused about towing capacity vs payload capacity. The majority of the time, trucks will run out of payload capacity before they get to their towing limit. If you look at the video posted above by Lone-Star, they show at 1:57 the payload capacity that you need to know. Air bags and Timbrens do not Increase your payload capacity legally but will definitely eliminate the squatting. Back to the video, at 2:07, it shows the axle/gvw rating sticker for the same truck. This truck is showing a gvw of 10,000lbs with a front axle rating of 4,800lbs and a rear axle rat

My first TT had a broken water pump when I bought it from Camping Hell and they wouldn't fix it without an extra charge once I discovered it didn't work (Long after the sale). So out of principle, never planned on using and traded it back in that way. When they asked if it worked, I said "it is in the same condition as it was when I bought it from you". As for the current 5er, I have no idea if it works as we don't plan to dry camp. So, the water tank is empty. We always carry bottled water with us anyway, so we can use that for the toilet and brushing teeth if we need to.

You definitely need to change trucks if you buy any of the 5ers you've hinted at. Try to buy the same year as yours or newer. The frame and the engines are the same between the 250/350. Parts diagrams I looked at also show the same brakes. The springs and the spring block are the only glaring difference. I've seen anywhere from 17"-20" on both 250s and 350s. I would avoid 20" tires for ride comfort. If you're looking at different trucks. Look at the GM twins 2015 and newer crew cabs. All the ford fanboys at the auction building that have ford crew cabs all admit I have more leg room

There's a reason why the campground at south of the border is behind a gate and has a guard patrolling the premises at night. Had an enlightening conversation with him at 2:30 am while walking the dogs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From my own personal experience with walterboro that I probably can't talk about here as it would not be "politically correct" but a LEO was witness to & was able to intervene and call for backup before it escalated to severe injury on my part or the 7 animals who accosted me, I was would avoid that area in the dark. Particularly the McDonald's off the highway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We liked the 400 loop. Plenty of room on both sides for opposing sides and we had 4 little dogs with us.

I might have missed it mentioned in this thread, but how does one exactly determine they have bought a dogbone of good quality. I assume that most people have either picked one up at Camping World or the RV section of a Super Walmart. I'm one of Murphy's favorite victims....

Keep it there. I'm only an hour north of DC.

Thanks for the pic. Unfortunately, my truck did not come with a factory gooseneck/5er prep. I currently am using a worthless Reese 16k Slider attached to rails.

I've been looking at possibly getting this hitch, but it's my understanding that in PA, any ball mounted hitch must use safety chains and well, I'm not sure where exactly I would attach safety chains inside my bed. Are you using the chains and if so, do you have pics of how your 5er is hooked up using the Andersen?

I feel this exact same way. Still after 2.5 years of having a 5er, I can't back it up into my driveway anywhere near as easy as I did with the TT and the various car/cargo trailers I bring home that the day job owns.

Only $150??? Someone's had too much eggnog :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
