My plan is to go with Mor ryde and trimbrens. I had Timbrens on a 2004 Dodge. They worked great while hooked up to the camper but I always thought they caused the truck to ride very stiff when not hooked up. If memory serves me correctly when not hooked up they ride 1 1/2 inches above the axle and ...

Wow, sorry for the loss

That 3030 is a nice model. Hopefully Tom Allen will see this, he has a 3030 and uses a Ford 3/4 ton similar to yours and has pulled it quite a few miles. I'm sure he can let you know how the truck handles that size camper.

Good luck with finding that new camper!

Looks like a real nice place Wayne. How has your weather been?

I do too. Especially monthly rates and such. I just called a C.G. in Panama City FL for a price for a week early in May and it was $576 . A little rich for my blood!

Rich, I have a 2008 Chevy 3/4 ton diesel crew cab with an 8' box. The truck has a 3.73 rear axle ratio. I have 73K miles on it and have only had a few minor problems. The camper weighs around 13700# My fuel milege varies from 9.5 when I'm in a hurry and up to 14 mpg on flat land at 58 mph in O.D. Wh...

Looks like its gonna be a great place! Enjoy.

Hey Mike keep that bad mojo on your side of the continent until it goes away!!

I agree with what Mark says, "it'll be better than new" when you do get it back.

I guess you have to give Toyota credit to make future truck owners think they can go buy a Tundra and take the space shuttle camping but for some reason it cant be used pull my 5th wheel? You haven't been to Michigan for long enough yet! I've seen some awful small vehicles pulling some awful big tr...

LOL I know that feeling Tom!!

Were you able to recore the radiator or was the tank leaking?

Cannot believe I have to replace my radiator on a vehicle that is not even 5 years old yet, $1600. There goes my diesel fuel money for Az. OUCH :!: :!: That does suck Tom. What's next :?: Might be time to take one of those "test drives" I've been hearing about this year....you know the ki...

Sounds like a nice truck Bill, congratulations.

Pictures??

When my folks were snowbirding they used to have a house with hot water heat. My Dad filled the system with anti-freeze, blew all of the water lines out, emptied the hot water heater and dumped anti freeze in all of the drains, and in the toilet tanks and bowls. He also pumped it in thru the washer ...

Way to go Rich!!

I bet just a little touch up paint, maybe a new pin stripe and a coat of wax and you'll be good to go!

We do the same thing. Wave, flash lights, jump up and down, trying to get thier attention .

Thanks John, We will definatley check it out. My Dad used to take me fishing there when I was probably 8 years old. We used to stay at the State Park in Indian River and he always drug me out at 0 dark thirty in the morning to try a new stretch of the Sturgeon that he knew would have Mr. Jaws the Br...

Thought is was us until I saw Barstow. We were east bound on I-40 but it was at the other end of I-40 in TN.
