    I follow Big Truck, Big RV on you tube and he seems to love the F450 for the turning radius. Sweet truck, enjoy!

    It was worth it 🙂 Whats funny is how long we had wanted the motor home, but the reality just never really fit in.

    We had some good and bad times with Rhino, but in the end we decided to go a new direction 🙂 It will be very interesting to see how a 10 day stay at the fort will be in our new trailer. We arrive on August 13th. Sadly, Rhino never got to stay at the Fort, but he did visit Disneyland.

    We have had it a few months now and done several trips. The good- Love the layout. Our favorite feature, the trash hole. For anyone that's had to deal with the age old trouble of where to put the bleeping trash can, we love it.Kid digs the bunkI love not towingThe sad- Went to pick up the unit and pulling out from storage we get a waterfall out of the joint at the bottom of the fiberglass front cap on the passenger side.. Keep in mind this was stored inside, very clean but this is 100% my fault. See, I hate heights, ladders and anything that puts me more than a few inches off the gro

    A few years later and the winner is!!!! Class C We looked at more trailers, Class A's, Disel Pushers and everything in between. In the end we liked the Class A's better, the Fleetwood Excursion 35B Diesel Pusher the best. Just that 160k price tag... There are a few gas models with the same/similar floorplan, but the Class A price tag was just a bit out of range. In the class C world, the Forest River 3010(Sunseeker)/3011(Forrester) was the floorplan we liked best. Meet Rhino, a 2012 Forrest River 3011DS we found used with 3900 miles. Comes with 2014 tires, assuming the original tire

    I tow a 20'ft ultralight with a 2013 Expedition. This will be the last tow vehicle we have that is not at a minimum a 3/4 or 1 ton truck. Before that we had a F150 towing a Jayco 29BHS. It did the job and the EcoBoost had plenty of power but it was never as stable as I wanted. With this trailer and the Expedition we use LT tires on the Exp and a Hensley Cub for the hitch. This combination makes it a breeze to tow although the V8 screams a bit. You can never have to much truck and if you think you will upgrade the trailer down the road get the most truck you can afford IMHO. Swapping ve

    We were there the 8th through the 13th. This month.

    If I recall, don't quote me, I was "locked" once the first FastPass+ was used and could not change anything until the remaining 2 had been used. I kept getting a error on the app on the phone, that of course said they were having a system problem. When I went to a Kiosk that's how it was explained to me.

    We just got back and I have nothing good to say about FastPass+ We were a last minute booking, booked on Monday and left for the parks on Friday. The day we booked getting any fast pass for our stay for the Mine Train was impossible, booked solid. With the new system we could either wait in hellish lines to do both Soarin and Test Track in the same day or book fast passes on 2 separate days. End result was we only managed to get 1 ride in on each. Last time we went under the old fast pass system we got 2-3 times in on each. Overall my impression is the new system is resulting in underus

    When I bought my first trailer used it had C tires on it. Not sure if it came with those but when I did the math they came up barely adequate for being able to carry the unit fully loaded. Since they were weather checked and would not pass inspection I just replaced them with the D's. Take your GVWR, subtract about 10% to 12% as not all of the weight will be carried by the trailer, the TV will be taking on some of the load.. In my case GVWR was 7500 -12% = 6600/4 = 1650 pounds per tire. Load Range C I looked at was rated at 1760, not giving me much over. I went with the D's, figured a

    Our trailer has a roof top AC with the standard controls on it, Fan Speed, AC Level (Low/High) and a temp dial that goes from cool to Arctic Freeze. Is there any way to fit these with a Thermostat that would cut the unit off after a certain temp is reached inside so it did not run 24/7? It's a small trailer and we certainly don't need to freeze ourselves out in the evening. I don't have the details on the make/model handy but can get them easy enough if needed.

    There are a lot of things that can lead to a bounce. Are you loaded or unloaded? Mine always rides better with some weight. We always have some fresh water on hand just to give the trailer some weight as we tend to roll pretty light anyways. Tension on the spring bars, depending on your setup. Tires, type and inflation. After switching to E rated LT tires I noticed less bounce and I don't even run them at high pressure, just more than the stock P rated tires we replaced.I've found that hitch adjustment, air pressure and loading have a pretty noticeable impact on tow quality I have anoth

    Will do. We have been there before about a year ago, this will be our third stay. They have some really nice facilities, the kids have a blast when we go up there. Will post up some photos. I like Fredricksburg for the German food. The WW2 Museum they have there is pretty cool.

    Did our first trip, 1k miles to Monroe LA and Back from San Antonio The Good: Mileage was around 9.6 Acceleration and performance was good, if a bit screamin at times. Stable in some heavy cross and head winds, winds good enough to stand fairly large flags on end with some nice gusts No porpoising, heavy bounces flattened out quickly and it felt very stable. The shorter setup than our old truck/trailer combo was much easier at gas stations The Bad: About 8-9 hours in each day the area around the shifter felt a little warm to the touch, trans was certainly getting a workout. Each day w

    New tires are a go. Hurt the wallet a little bit but I think we will all feel safer on the LT tires instead of the P's. Itching to get it out on it's first trip :)
