Wow, that's pretty impressive. Is it SRW or a dually? How's breaking performance? Got any pics :)

Point taken. I'm interested in knowing about all the various RV water filtration systems and what various people's goals are, what they're achieving with them as well as their diverse & unique experiences. Some folks may be interested in keeping minerals out of their tanks & pipes, others may be...

Which systems/brands have you tried & liked & would recommend? Why? Which systems/brands have you tried & disliked? Why?

Wow, this is almost as cool as my BioLite stove! :P

List your favorite top 10 RV accessories & addons and why.

That is helpful to know. Thanks Mike. :)

Many reasons: personal health (some folks have medical conditions that make them sick if they sleep on fire-retardant laced surfaces), keeping toxic gick out of landfills & other places a used mattress might end up, cleaner manufacturing process, etc. No doubt there can be hype & marketing...

Exactly. Plus, irate poster above was one of the ones responsible for turning a simple friendly research question thread on another unfriendly forum into a mudslinging match that ended up getting locked because no one had any advice to give whatsoever, only post after post of criticism aimed at...

So I'm on a quest to find a non-toxic green mattress for my RV. I'm currently looking at the  MobilePlush Eco Green RV Mattress & the Luxury Cool-MAX Gel Foam RV Mattress II. Does anyone have any experience or know anything at all about either of these mattresses or any non-toxic mattresses on...

So I really wanted a Reese Airborne Sidewinder king pin box, but I recently discovered that it wouldn't fit my king pin box :( I've got the Fabex 730 & my service technician & Reese have both confirmed that the Airborne will not go on my 5th wheel. Now I'm looking at the Ultra-Fab Trailair Air...

Yeah, year model does seem to play a big role in determining the differences. After doing some forum searching I found several very interesting threads on this topic. This is the best one I've found thus far. Given that beefier springs, shocks & blocks only serve to level your loaded vehicle &...

Fascinating; do you (or anyone) have any idea what was done to the SRW Fords to "beef them up"? 10k-11k wet or dry? "Beefed up suspension" shouldn't matter other than having the truck ride even if the weight's on the axles/tires anyway, right? For me this begs the questions: What did Ford do...

Ok, so all this math has really got me curious about the differences between a 3/4 ton SRW, 1 ton SRW & duallies. What are the real factory differences between a Ford 3/4 ton SRW & a 1 ton SRW? What specifically are the chassis differences between these two trucks? In other words, what specific...

Probably because I just made those numbers up hypothetically. I wasn't ware that UVW + CCC = GVWR, but that certainly does make since. *sigh* I'm still trying to find time in my schedule to weigh my truck. Thanks everyone for helping.

I think I figured it out! Data stickers & Understanding ratings So, as I understand these explanations, the trailer's GVWR is not the same as the trailer's UVW. The trailer's GVWR is the maximum weight the trailer's axles can handle: weight of the trailer + weight of (potentially) a lot of...
