Nice setup. I was a VW fanatic for years, owned 9 (1 mkI, 1 mkII, 4 mkIII, 2 mkIV, 1 Passat) before I swung to Volvos.

I can’t believe no ones told you that you need a 1/2 ton to pull that yet!...

I’m amazed that your Cummins is only 3 gallons. My 94 5.9 out of a medium duty has a 19 quart oil pan.

Advice on my wdh and how it's leveled.

Not one of us is smarter or faster than the computer. The only time I put it in manual is when I want it to sound good because I grew up driving sticks.

I know it’s a little different rig, but my 2017 29.5BHDS is set up exactly the same, and I have 3 grey tanks- (1) ~32 gallon up front for the bathroom, (1) ~32 gallon midships for the kitchen sink...

Ah makes perfect sense.

As for the charts I agree that’s ideal- but the statement that running at max psi will cause premature wear in the center of the tread is just not true, at least in my...

'P' to 'E' tire swap

I think there might be some confusion here- in your first post you’re talking about LT275/65-R18 tires, which are LT tires, not P rated tires. The P I suspect you’re referring to is the speed rating,...

Just be thankful you don’t live in the land of no- fault aka Michigan. Our premiums are approximately double most other states, depending on zip code, credit score and age.

No reason you can’t open them.

We’re not ac people and almost never run it, so our emergency windows are open essentially 24/7 when camping.

Short Bed truck

I tow a 2017 29.5BHDS with a 2011 F350 short bed. I have a Curt 16K fixed hitch and have never needed a slider plus I prefer a lighter hitch and the space in the bed. I know a number of people with...

Gas truck considerations

The fact is that any of the big 3 3/4 ton+ diesels will outpull any gas engine by leaps and bounds but at a premium cost, both up front and long term. Also keep in mind that when the warranty is up...
