I just bought/installed this very setup for my 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD CCab, Duramax, and for the same reasons you mention - I work with wood, and can't be bringing back boards that have been damaged/dented by rails in the bed. I'm no mechanic, but I installed it on my driveway in around 2hrs...

I'm honestly not sure whether these guys carry RV batteries, but I've ordered snowmobile/atv batteries from the following guy's, and their pricing/service was awesome (shipping to Ontario): http://saskbattery.com

Camping ain't camping without A/C and satellite TV! ;) 1) I'll let others get into the science behind weights, but I will advise: Just 'cos you *can* tow a certain weight, doesn't necessarily mean that you *should* (OR: would want too). I towed my current 36' Keystone Sprinter 311BHS trailer...

As others have stated (1ton, dually, diesel from any of the big 3), but I'd also add: - 8ft Box. - Tow Mirrors. - Trailer Prep Package. I like the GM/Chev machines, but they (like Ford) have a brand new model line-up for the 2017 model year (GM has just released a brand new diesel engine in...

I've had great success with buying LED bulbs from overseas sellers, including the following: Wish.com (50x T10/921 bulbs for $12CAD + $4CAD shipping) Banggood.com

We're considering somewhat similar fifth wheel floor plans - have you looked at any of the following: Jayco Eagle HT - Four models: 29.5BHDS, 29.5BHOK, 29.5FBDS & the brand new 30.5MBOK http://www.jayco.com/products/fifth-wheels/2017-eagle-ht-fifth-wheels/floorplans-and-prices/ KZ-Durango 1500...

CH751 ;) We found that out when our "friends" "broke into" our trailer one weekend as a prank. They removed every single label from every single tin can in our pantry. We weren't sure if we were opening Stag chilli or dog food for several weeks?!

kwbush/meternerd: As an aside, Grand Design have at least one model (albeit a (and considerably lower-roofed) TT) like that: https://www.granddesignrv.com/showroom/2017/travel-trailer/reflection/floorplans/312bhts We saw it at the recent Toronto RV show, and both my wife and I picked up on...

Yes. Absolutely. and per Thetford's published Trouble-Shooting tips (see link to the owners manual at the foot of this post): 2) Toilet won?t hold water: a) Check for and remove any debris from blade/ball seal track. b) Check blade/ball seal compression with mechanism. If blade/ball seal is...

I'm more concerned with the landscaping surrounding the lot. A few years ago (August 10th 2009 to be exact!) we received a call from the campsite owners where our trailer was located on a seasonal site. Midweek, a storm had passed through, and one of the trees in the park took a direct hit...

Try grabbing a pair of disposable gloves, step on the pedal to release the ball, then gently pull the black rubber seal out completely. Let the seal soak in regular ol' white vinegar for 10 mins or so. (also try wiping the ball with a paper towel soaked in vinegar too) Rinse it off in fresh...

Ignore the propaganda? Half-ton towable 5th wheels are anything BUT half-ton towable. I'm also about to enter the market for a 5th wheel, and I've already found that there are VERY few that my Duramax Diesel powered Sierra 2500HD can tow? (max trailer weight: 13,900lbs; max payload: 2085lbs...

Any of those are great trucks, and very capable/reliable. My recommendation? Don't buy a brand new model truck (not in at least the first year of release) - you will be the guinea pig for any 'flaws' yet to be identified on the mfr's pre-production test mules! I came from a Ford F150, and...

Personal choice - they'll all do the same thing. I like lysol wipes - they serve a multitude of cleansing purposes around the home/RV, but to each their own!

Hand sanitizer, or a plastic tube of either lysol disinfecting or baby wet wipes.
