Re: 2013 Chevy 3500 Dually

The height of the truck came in real handy this past weekend. The wind got up fairly quickly and the awning was out. I was not sure how much wind it could take but decided not to take any chances. When I went to put the awning in, I could not get it to secure at the top and of course I do not have m...

Re: 2013 Chevy 3500 Dually

The little stool I use is plastic and it is only one step. I place it directly beside the tire and step from it up on the tire itself and then I am finally able to reach the release handle. My Dodge sits high. When the tailgate is down, I can hardly climb in it. Not bad when it is up because the rea...

Re: 2013 Chevy 3500 Dually

Love your new truck. I have the same problem with mine that Don has. The big hips and my big belly and me being short makes for a little trouble hitching and unhitching. I borrowed one of Cherryl's kitchen stools to help me reach over and release the hitch. It folds up and lays flat when not being u...

Re: So much closer to being fulltimers

Well today we had the carpet, sofa and chairs cleaned by a very good independent cleaner. This guy cleaned the carpet on his hands and knees. Looked great when he finished. We waited for it to dry and started moving some things in and making it look like our future home. We had intended on moving it...

So much closer to being fulltimers

Well the wife sold our king size bed and kitchen table and chairs today. The house is beginning to look as if it has been burgularized. We still have so much to sell or get rid of before the house closes; which is expected to be around August 15. We went to the county park tonight with some friends ...

Re: B&W Companion

When removing the hitch from the truck; after removing the top portion; do you just pull the handle under the fender and just lift the remaining part out. I watched a video on You Tube that was saying to loosen the u bolts. Is that actually true?
