Re: Not the Way to Start Off wityh Ford

Don't think you are alone with new truck issues. Friends new 2011 GM 2500 was DOA in Myrtle Beach recently. Had to extend trip by a week due to parts availability
Ps our V10 has had zero issues in almost 3 years.

Re: Well it Happened!!!!

I have 8" of clearance and would not want any less. Came close one time backing down a hill over crowned driveway. Darn lucky I saw it in time to try different approach to campsite.

Re: tonneau covers

We have been using BakFlip hard cover and very satisfied with it. Folds in 4 places so we leave it with one section down when towing. Once trailer is disconnected easy to cover box.
Customer service was excellent as I lost a few parts and they sent replacements nc.

Re: New truck is quiet

I agree the new deisels are quieter and less stinky but when filling up do not spill a drop on yourself as the stink stays with you all day. No arguement they out pull anything but if I can get away from needing one I definitely would.
Drive them both.

Re: Wanted: The oval light that goes between sofa and dinette

Really easy fix if light is too bright. Put a lower wattage bulb in fixture. Have not done ours yet as we hope to get out this weekend for first outing

Clearance question

Figured this would be the best forum to ask since we all have Cardinals. I have a 2009 F250 short box 6'-7"I think with the Reese slider hitch. Do I need to slide unit back or is there enough clearance when making sharp turns? Will check when we go out for the first time but I am getting curiou...

Re: Recent fuel price increase

It's amazing just how greedy the oil companies have become. A few record years of profits from gouging us by jacking the prices sky high and now they expect to make it every year. Here in Ontario we are being robbed in the neigbourhood of $3,45 a US gallon for regular. To top it off Esso charges 52c...

Hitch manual shows 6"minimum clearance so you should be good to go.

Re: 2008 Ford F 250 power stroke questions

We stuck with the 410's. Should be more than adequete for our trailer weight. Not that gas mileage matters when driving a truck like this but every little bit helps as we will not tow cross country yet
