Cooke Forest is within shouting distance, along the Clarion River. Plenty to do there...also the Kinzu Resevoir between Warren and Bradford is a good spot. Lots of camp grounds

I am going from a 2015 Ram 1500 Quad 4x4 to a 2019 Big Horn 1500 Crew 4x4. I tow a TT 26 ft at 6000-6500 lbs. My LHD is a Centerline sized for a 600-800 lb hitch wt.  What is the consensus? Will I need to return to my trailer shop to get it adjusted? Its two hours away.

Looking for suggestions to clean my awning from residual leaf stains and water stains.

Ok final trip numbers 4057 miles Gallons of fuel 265.26 Avg $ per gal $2.52 Avg MPG 15.29 Thru the hills of Pa, WV, Va, & NC- 13.73 mpg Oil temp never went above 260*- mostly 235-240 Tranny 199* Cooling 221*

A follow up on the mpg.... from Florida to Myrtle Beach 16 mpg; MB up to Roanoake Va 15.50 mpg. I am sure going up thru WV and PA we'll be in the 14 range

Had mine dealer installed....it looked too complicated for me to try

just the WDH.... no air bags

Into southern Florida all the temps went up marginally...Tranny went as high as 212; Oil stayed at the 235-250 range. MPG was a little better as well into the 15.5-16.0 range. again this is with a 3.55 rear end and tow mode and mostly on cruise @65

Update heading further south... SC,GA, into northern FLA.... 14.5 MPG; oil temps no higher than 235; trannie stayed 195*

the truck gets 28-mpg on highway; 21-22 in town.

2016 25ft Salem Hemisphere Lite....dry about 4400; max weight 7000....we were at 11500 with TV. Don't know what GDE tune is.... Husky Centerline weight distribution system

2015 Ram 1500 Quad Tradesman 6.4 bed, 4x4, 275/55/20

my tt tires are rated at 75... but thanks. I did watch tranie temps but they were in the 190-195 range for the most part. Didn't pay close enough attention to that. Will try as I continue.

forgot to mention it has a 3.55 rear end oil temp went as high as 257*-hovered around 225* Moderator edit: Fixed broken end-quote tag

Just had our maiden trip with 2015 eco diesel pulling a 25 TT...total weight was 11,500 lbs. Trip went from western NY thru Pa, WV, Va, NC into SC.... 635 miles at just over 13 mpg. Cruised in tow mode at 65 mph.... Should do better from here on south.
