Whoa, is that tree uprooting?

I think it’s just being serviced

I think it’s just being serviced

I didn't know chevy made tree's.

Whoa, is that tree uprooting?

Yep, it is a full leaner. It’s being held up by those other two trees waiting to fall into the water.

I’m wondering if I’ll sit level without air bags? I have a 350 diesel, available payload 3374lbs, estimating 650lbs in passengers and cargo. I’m looking at a 5th wheel with 2150 pin weight, plus have to add the weight of the hitch, not sure on that, estimating 100-150lbs.

I saw this Chevy this morning. Perfect case of “it tows it fine”

Is the power pedastal and water on the wrong side? (for a campspot)... ?

 

[Loshad]

If I had killed off that bottle I doubt I
could have found my way home!

Isnt the power pedastal and water on the wrong side? (for a campspot)... ?

It was a bit of a PITA, and the sewer was on the other side where it should be!

Just completed my first camping trip in my Tremor. I'm coming from a Ram 1500 and pull a 30' TT, so my bar is pretty low.

What a night and day difference, the Ram had to work pulling my TT up the slightest incline. The 7.3 tremor grunted a little and continued chugging along like nothing was there. The shifts were smooth with hardly no gear hunting. I would have to manually shift my Ram the entire trip due to it constantly hunting for gears and bogging.

All and all, awesome experience.

I just got back from a weekend at Lake Chelan, third trip pulling with the Tremor and 7.3, coming from my F150 with the 3.5eb. Climbing up a grade that was marked at 12%, truck hit 7 on the dash gauge, and she just pulled straight up at 40mph, only needing to slow for the curves. On the straighter sections, no problem hitting the posted speed of 50mph - the 40 was advisory speed for the curves.

We were fighting a decent crosswind once we got up to the top and the rest of the way along Hwy 2 through the fields. Did that last year in the 150 and it was white knuckle at 45-50. This year in the SD we just cruised along at 60 and was as stable as could be.

I'm a weekend warrior when it comes to camping. I go every other weekend to different state parks around Texas as they are the only ones that don't give you a hard time about having 4 dogs. But seeing all these pictures and all the stories about camping makes me want to go every day. Camping is the best.

We made it to Alabama today. Staying just outside of Talladega. Tomorrow we finish the trip to Asheville. We will be in Asheville until Friday. This truck has been great to be out on the road! No effort pulling whatsoever. I completely filled the water tank today (39 gallons

) and it is a little nose heavy, but the truck is still pretty level.

If your Hitch is adjustable, try raising the Ball height up a notch or two. See what that does for the trailer.

Oh I just noticed you have the Anderson hitch! I'm highly contemplating getting one for my next trailer. Do you like it? Does it work as well as they claim? Any issues with it? Is it easy breaking down and hooking it up? Sorry for so many questions, just been looking for someone who uses it regularly like i would. Thanks in advaced.
