    Telsa lays off 14,000!

    This is not just safety recalls--all recalls. Just did my truck today and it was a "foggy rear camera". Did a couple on DW's Explorer. One for laminate on window/lock control covers they deffered since they were fine and will only do once. Years ago I remember Honda came and got my car via...

    Should I switch from a travel trailer to a Class C?

    Because there are more of them. Few if any trailer folks replying here because OP asking for advice on switching to a MH. We trailer trash folk people have no insights or input. 😜

    It's the best time ever to buy a used Tesla

    Funny you reignited this thread with this. We Alaskan's all know where Grizzly Ridge is. It's a tight area-- Fine for a lil car but real PIA for all if a guy parked there with a truck and a 30' boat on a trailer. Solar power work great in the summer--Winter not so much.

    Weight towards back on trailer.

    I think your way over thinking / complicating this. I’d worry about what RVfixer said. 80lbs in the trailer will really do nothing IMO unless you exceed GVWR or it’s a tiny single axle trailer. Start adding up everything else you have in trailer. Adds up to well over 80lbs. Heck full...

    Tesla Semi Ready To Replace Diesel Trucks

    EPA says more stringent rules. EV car builder supports and says yea way to go Uncle Sam. We can do it better than ICE. This is straight up BS. I’m back home on a long heavy haul. Electric can’t do it PERIOD. I’ll be in and out of cell service for for next 5-10 days and now we want...

    “No EVs on a dead planet”

    Not all EV batteries recycled. It’s not that simple. Doing better though.

    “No EVs on a dead planet”

    Also the disposal of all the batteries. I’d say it’s still debatable.

    Ford F-150 Lightning review.

    Yep I love using cash.

    “No EVs on a dead planet”

    We are the same. It’s because you (and I and many others) worked hard, saved and lived within your means. New cars every 1-2 years, running up debt and CC’s, etc—gotta have what I want and want it now mentality is killing so many. So many think I’m rich. But I still work piloting oversize...

    f250 7.3l 3.71 rear end 10,000lb 5th wheel trip summary

    solarman--Those numbers sound about right on the money to me. Very comparable to both my F350's. So surprised to see your post. I am so used to the folks saying I get 25+ empty and 16 overloaded doing 80mph....LOL

    What to do

    Ford F-150 Lightning review.

    One says I’m wrong…….period. Other say I know a guy. Lol I said I know folks do it. But it’s not a regular thing for the majority. Jeeeez.

    Ford F-150 Lightning review.

    Really? I have a hard time believing that. I know you do, but I just got home from a 2 month trip—saw lots of Ev’s but don’t recall any that weren’t local. Same with last years 4 month trip. Sure some do, but not regularly.
