2017+ Ford Super Dutys with dual rear wheels come with a 3" tow receiver, instead of the very common 2.5" tow receiver. 3" tow hitches are harder to come by, and can be pricey. Sleeves are available to use 2.5" tow hitches in 3" receivers. Any significant downside to using the sleeve? I know...

Always a question in my mind, should never seize or grease be put in the tow receiver to protect the receiver from corrosion when not in use? If someone was to keep their tow hitch in the receiver year round, I would go with never seize without question. But if someone is pulling out and...

Driving south on I5 in Northern California, in a area of a lot of olive groves. I look to my right and see a RV park that the parking spots put the RVs under/ text to olive trees. How cool is that. I suspect this is not a destination park. But for a overnight-er right on the interstate, a nice...

This photo is fake, but still reminds me of RVs being towed in the Northern Utah area. I steered clear when I saw setups like this. In Utah, it was typically a truck, RV, and then boat. Going through grade and curves. Must work, but more than I can comprehend.

Recently I have been seeing a pattern of one wheel significantly dirtier than the other on dual axle trailers. Seems primarily the front left, but I have also seen the rear right. Just a fluke- or is there a reason?

A BITOG member sent me this trailer that goes to auction tomorrow. I can't post the pictures but here is a link to the trailer: https://www.schneiderauctioneers.com/auctions/30319/lot/12447-2007-atc-32-enclosed-cargo-trailer I am going through a change of life (how weird is that) and may need a...

Rented a RV storage space in Arizona yesterday. The storage landlord appeared to be a larger, well processed organization. The organization had vacancies, which was something I was surprised to find. The hours were 6am-10pm to enter the lot, instead of the typical 24 hours access. I sense...

Came across this on Facebook. $29k USD. Price seems very high to me, but I have not done the math. What I think might be the biggest issue is the weight over the rear axles of the truck.

Came across this article and thought to share the link. With the knowledge on this board- the article may contain erroneous information, but I thought worth posting. https://recstuff.com/trailer-parts-blogtrailer-bearing-grease-guide/?

I know many in this forum have RVed to Alaska- maybe you will have different thoughts from what the article's author posted. Of note- I tried to post this in the Alaska thread but wasn't anywhere to start a new thread. https://www.rvtravel.com/video-rving-alaska-2333/

For those that like a very comfortable weather centered trip, this article might provide some ideas: For travelers in search of the perfect weather, a climate scientist in Anchorage, Alaska, has mapped out the ultimate US road...

As I am researching RVs, starting to see talk about slides outs having functionality problems. So I have to ask- the extra living space must be nice- but with mechanical breakdown, weight, etc- do slide out benefits outweigh their issues?

I have heard RV parks may limit who can stay based on the age of their RV, but never saw anything in writing- not that I was searching. I am looking for a place to store three trailers and three pickups starting OOA MAY 2024, likely in Southern Arizona. On Tucson craigslist I came across a...

One has to look closely at this listing. Listing states loss is other, and primary damage is hail. State Farm is the Seller. I sense something more than hail is why this RV went to auction, but can't figure out what it is. I am the current high bidder, with my max bid of $1125. In no way to I...

Surprised to see a CDL may required in some states to drive a RV through the state. Most of the CDL requirements are based on being 45 foot or longer and or 26k GVWR. https://www.rvezy.com/blog/rv-drivers-license-requirements-usa
