Motorhome can have up to 24,000 pounds per axle.  My motorhome has 24,000 pounds and a 12,400 pound with a GVWR of 36,400 and a GCWR of 46,400 pounds.  Here is the ruling and I quote: In 2011, Congress passed the Moving Ahead towards Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21; Public Law...

We bought into the steering stabilizer from Roadmaster that supposes to take that initial shock out front tire blowing and help control the rig.  It like a big shock absorber on the steering.  I have no idea if works or not and I hope I never have to find out.

Will I think it is and here are some of the reasons I believe that. I Quote "There?s a common misconception that a truck?s GVWR is determined by adding gross axle weight ratings (GAWRs) together for all axles. Although this was a common way of calculating GVWR many years ago, it?s no longer an...

That is incorrect.  Tires get their load ratings from the amount of air in the tires and running with less air pressure will cause the LT tire to exceed the weight carrying  capacity of the tires and damage them.  Passenger tires are made for ride and will hit the weight capacity way before a...

We got our first 15,000 mile service done by Freightliner shop and cost use 830 and we gave them two and half pages of stuff to inspect, re-torque, mag plugs to check, oil and fuel filter and oil for engine and generator.  REV Group quoted 389 to do the first 15,000 mile service and I showed...

Take the passengers tires off and put real stiff side wall truck tires like on F250 has then up the springs to what F250 has and heavy duty shocks like a F250 has and only rides a " tad more "trucky" yea right.  Put all that on less than 5000 pound truck so does NOT make sense that it would be...

I have to laugh at people that purchase the Heavy Payload Option for a 150.  Puting real truck tires, heavier springs, heavier shocks, heavy duty axles on a truck the weights less than 5000 pounds makes for terrible riding truck.  My neighbor had one for awhile and I took him and his wife for...

Maybe this video will help some. http://rvsafety.com/rv-education/matching-trucks-to-trailers

Pick up a Newmar or Foretravel and stacker trailer.  Nice Corvette on the upper layer and a couple bikes on the lower level and your all set.  It's only money.  Last year a guy pulled on the campgrounds with that setup with Z06 Corvette and two full dress bikes with a ForeTravel with the stacker...

Have you check out YouTube..  Here is link to a bunch of them. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=2018+Tiffin+31MA

Couple of links you might want to read before you hook that toy hauler up to the F150 http://www.personalinjuryclaimsblawg.com/personal-vehicle-towing-liability-for-rvers/ http://kennethjannislaw.com/practice-areas/auto-accidents/rv-accident...

I had a Solitude 310GK 35 foot 5er with 2350 dry pin weight and exceed my GVWR (11500) and close to axle ratings before I added a generator and washer and dryer.  I was faced with selling my GMC 1 ton and SRW and going to DRW or exceed my GAWR if I set up the 5er like I wanted it.  I only use...

Interest fact on diesel option..... I paid 6,500 MSRP for the diesel option but I got 12% off MSRP of the truck so I paid 5720 for the option after taking the 12% discount.  I went to Used Car Prices and found that on a 4-year truck the diesel option adds 6100 to the retail price and 5850 to...

OK, so you don't care about the ride it's all about the payload.  Putting LT tires and heavy suspension on the light truck makes it ride really rough but if that the ride doesn't bother you then go ahead.  I would personnel would spring for heavy truck and better ride and I would purchase...

I don't understand why someone would buy an F150 with the heavy payload option.  Surely not for the ride since my neighbor had one and even he agreed my 1 ton GMC rode heck lot better than his F150 heavy payload truck.  He caught so heck from his DW that he ended up trading it on an F150 max tow...
