I do get tired of the attitude of those retired who think the whole world needs to slow down to their speed because they now have the time, especially on two lane roads. ...

I noticed that too on my Jeep Danny. I too like to carry around the manual and read it when I can. Dory's new BMW is the same way, however it is also online and most of it is video so we can watch...

62 mph would be a hard speed to hold - why take a chance? My G614s were rated at 75 mph and "sometimes" I got there but most the time not. At least I wasn't over-running there rating.

Not sure what year, but our 2014 was behind the basement wall below that little door as others have stated. The arrows in the pics point to other things (check valves) so disregard. I made pics for...

We had a 2014 Redwood 36RL, and I have no sour grapes about it. It was reasonably well built and didn't require any work that my other brands didn't also need. The Redwood was by far my favorite...

I just have old cars :)

Given the trailer bearing technology is in line with what cars used to be 20+ years ago, my point is still valid. I think you would agree that when disk brakes became...

Think about if you really even need to do that repack. Tapered roller bearings on your car typically ran 40-50K miles before repack at the next brake job.

I don't think they are Lippert either. They are a short sighted RV CEOs dream company, and US production worker nightmare company. They are based in Hong Kong with regional sales in Elkhart.

Thats comforting to know Mark and thanks for the input! I think the tire is going to be the limit. She does not have airbags and I notice her truck doesn't even sag in the back.

It's just the 850. No slide and pretty common model for a long bed, but it does have a Gen and AC. Wet spec is 2,850 but we know how those go :) Dry is 2,500 lbs. Her F350 cc is 3,770 lbs, so its...

Thanks all,
She is at 11,700 without food and water, with a GVWR of 11,500. I showed her your comments and told her to load it and CAT scale it again, with the 7,000 lb axle weight being the red...

Here is the weird part - When it does get too cold, only one will transfer to the furnace if it gets below 40 because only one is linked to the furnace. The other one is independent.

That's strange they stay short of the axles and tires. I told her at the very least make sure not to overload the rear tires, or even the axles, but I think she is already over GVWR.

Yeppers, that was the first mod we did, following the lead from the first Redwood owner Dave (I think) :)
