Not sure about any 80% rule.  Make sure your pin weight (and anything that's in the truck and didn't come from the factory: people, pets, gear, lift kits, big tires, etc) doesn't exceed that payload number.  Your pin weight is generally 20-25% of the total loaded weight of the 5er.  Also...

Correct, 2017 Silverado with a 6 1/2' bed.  I'm on the road for work and don't have a picture, but I believe the ball for the gooseneck is centered over the rear axle.  I'm not sure if they have different weight ratings, I think they only have one that's pretty stout...I can't remember the...

A dealer would probably install it.  Or an RV place.  Where I lived we had a store that specialized in truck accessories.  I had them install the Curt Gooseneck turnover ball, around $400 installed.  I also had them do a spray in bed liner.  Then I installed the Anderson hitch myself (and...

If you go with the Anderson, you don't need to have it installed. You will just need to have a gooseneck turnover ball installed. The Andersen hitch itself installs in about 5 minutes. I haven't had any of the bed deformity issues mentioned either.  I've towed over 20,000 miles in the last two...

I just got to CA.  The router was off for a while on the airplane.  I fired it up, and it's giving me a position out here rather than IL.  Maybe having it off for a few hours was the trick.  I had previously tried a simple power cycle to no avail.  Thanks guys!

I?ve got the Netgear 1100 LTE/Router. Hmm. I never thought about the phone number and stuff. I talked to the tech folks at MLB. They tell me it?s location based off the IP address, for the AppleTV anyways.  A phone uses the location services if available.  I?m traveling to CA for work...

Do any of you fellow full-timers use OTR Mobile for LTE based internet? If so, could you do me a favor?  Can you tell me if your "location" when using a Non-GPS equipped device (like a laptop) indicates the approximate area which you were in when you activated the service? This site...

I've spoken to my warranty company and have scheduled a dropoff for troubleshooting/repair on Wednesday.  That works for me, as I need to travel for work for two weeks...and as I otherwise live in the unit full time, dropping it off would be a pain.  All that said, the curious side of me often...

Looks like the online registration for improved sites is now open. Having never camped there, are all the sites friendly enough for a 35' 5er?  At least in the drawing, some look shorter than others.

I got an email back saying they?ve got both 30a and 50a plugs at each site.

Here's an update, at 1300 yesterday after being parked and the fridge on electric, I noticed a little condensation below the fridge.  I opened the fridge to find out it had warmed to around 46 degrees.  The freezer was just below freezing.  I immediately switched the fridge to LP.  I also placed...

Thanks Howard. I looked over at the EAA forums and couldn't find it either.  I'm waiting approval to post over there as I just signed up.

Thanks. The links worked. I?ve been reading them, but I still don?t see any where the level of electric service available. I?m curious, if it?s just 20a service available it might not be worth it.  You could buy a basic site and use the difference to get one of those little Honda...

Does anyone recall if the electrical service at Camp Sholler is 20, 30, or 50a? I've looked at Sleepy Hollow Farm, I just have to imagine they're beyond sold out...but I guess I should do my due diligence and call...

For now it's been a thermometer sitting on the rack.  I'll try the glass of water idea. That said, I think my issues have resolved themselves.  I've had the fridge on electric set at 9 for about 16 hours.  This morning, my water jug was nearly frozen solid, the temp in the fridge indicated...
