Rene They have a pre pass which means they get annual inspected and pay a fee to get to pass by scales. They have an electronic thing in there cab that sends a signal to the scales then the scales either give them a green light to go by or on occasion a red light meaning they need to go in.

I have a 2013 F250 crew cab swb 6.7 I was pulling a 24' tt  I now have a 2015 32' cougar lite fifthwheel. I love pulling the fifth wheel compared to the tt. I looked at the Fox Mountains when I was looking at new trailers but did not like the weight issue. I know the reason they are heavier is...

I would price out some different brands of hitches, so when to start negotiating on the trailer and hitch you know if it is a good deal or not. If you have any mechanical skills at all you can install the hitch yourself.

I use a B&W companion hitch for my fifth wheel, but if I had it to do over I would probably go with the Anderson hitch. Much lighter and easier to take in and out of the pickup.

I have a 2013 F250 crew cab short bed diesel I hold 26 gals in the main tank and 30 gals in the auxiliary tank the reason I put the auxiliary tank in is so I can fuel when I want. when you pull a fifth wheel trailer it is sometimes hard to get in to stations. You should be conservative and...

Also from California senior semi-retired  and traveling when we can and enjoying it. I agree it is in the layout, find the layout you like then start shopping. John

I would think there would be another fill neck for that tank, maybe get underneath with a mirror and a light see if you can look at the top of the Transfer Flow tank for a filler pipe and wires to it. That will tell you if there is another way to fill it and if there is a sending unit for the...

We are leaving today for Charleston harbor marina rv park for 3 days then on up to Winchester bay and stay at Windy cove rv park and camp ground which is a Douglas County  park just across the road from Winchester bay.

I bet this scammers and phone solicitors hate caller ID. I wish there was a way to send something back on there phone that would make it useless. What good does it do to be on a do not call list you still get them. My MIL is 92 and not great health, so the other night we are in bed and at 10:30...

My wife's mother is 92 she lives alone, right across the field from our house and up until March of this year she drove. My wife then had DMV pull her license and so now with no transportation we had to arrange for her to get to her weekly bingo game, Dr appointments and grocery, plus check on...

I think you should go find a place that rents TT and rent one for a week that is like the one you are looking at. Go for a week trip with it and see how it tows. Better to do that than find after buying one you can not handle it.

I think to become a dealer you should have to pull an oversized trailer with a 1/2 ton pickup then maybe you would stop pushing people to the limit. I drove truck for years and pulled heavy very heavy loads ,the thing I worried most about was stopping them not pulling it.

Been there done that and my wife won't let me forget it every time we dump " did you take the cap off ? "

You can look the model up on RV Trader and get an idea of what that model is going for. When I ask for an otd price that is what I am making the check out for no add on not even license or tax. I would check other places for the hitch, brakes and camera.

I have lived my whole life in California, 66 years and all I can say is if you don't go north of San Francisco and see the Giant Redwoods you will miss the best part of California.
