Humphrey Bear…Rob

For a little over the past year, I've been a weekly road warrior - flying back and forth. It always amazes me how some folks think being a total A$$ and bullying airline stewardesses, TSA, etc will get them anything other than MORE grief. This guy strikes me right off the bat as one of those loudmouth better than you types that has driven a CM to their breaking point. There is joking...and then there is intimidation. Granted, he chose a poor choice of words, but Karma has a sneaky way of circling round and biting you in the butt! :wedgietariant-smiley:

Our DIL is flying from Memphis to camp with us at the Fort next month and I was curious to see if the Magical Express would be a good option to get her to the Fort rather than me having to juggle the logistics of getting to the Fort, setting up camp, and having to run back out to the airport while the rest of our group is ready to head to MK! We will have her Magic Band with us, so I wasn't sure how this might work - I guess we could send it to her, but I wanted to reach out to the experts here to see if this option was worth considering. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I've heard you use other names for them..

Hey TNGibby - nice looking sign! We are just up the road in Kingsport, BTW.

We've been there a couple of times and it true, they have great prices! We ended up with a Grand Design Momentum, which they don't sell - but the Fuzion was next on my list!

We went from a 24 foot toyhauler to a 42' Inferno to a 39' Momentum 350. The good news is a 39' toyhauler will be no longer than a 30' go 32' Travel Trailer setup. The 42' was about 4K heavier and I can tell a difference in towing - the 39' is just right for my 3500 dually. I would get a good GPS app or trucker app to help you go thru smaller towns. We quickly ran into problems camping in our favorite spots from the 24' to the longer toyhaulers. The tradeoff being a much more comfortable living space. I don't think 3' is going to make much difference. My Inferno was a triple axle a

Awesome!

That's a great idea!

The dealer should help you set up your hitch height - barring some lift kit or the like, you will probably be fine. I moved my B&W companion hitch from my Dodge 3500 to my Chevy 3500 with no need to change. Get a lube plate - grease on a fifth wheel works, but is so messy and if you run into it (like I do), you will ruin countless shirts. The dealer may have these in stock, or you can buy online for under $20 bucks. Tailgate - I've never had a notched one - just remember to lower and raise. Bigger issue with a long bed than a short bed. My tailgate wouldn't hit on my longbed hitc

My youngest son had the opportunity to spend 3 weeks in Germany this past Spring with a family as part of an exchange program and had a fantastic time. As part of the program, their son is coming here to stay with us for 3 weeks this fall. it just happened to fall during our October trip to the FORT! We are going to bring him with us and he (and my son) are big Harry Potter fans, so Universal will be a must do, but we were already planning on doing Mickey's not so scary H'ween Party. They don't do Halloween in Berlin, so this should be interesting, to say the least. Keeping in mind tha

I don't think it would be too much - but I would divide it up to focus on one or two parks a lot on each trip with ample fort days. At your girls ages, I'd say go for it. When they hit those Teen years, they may want to do something else. Do Magic Kingdom a LOT first trip, Studios the 2nd, etc. We go down about every Fall (Halloween Horror nights for Dad) - be great if we could coordinate next fall. I think TN22 will be going down next fall also. Back in the days when you could buy "Never Expire" tickets, we dropped what I thought was a ridiculous amount on 10 day passes - and use

Be aware that there was an issue within a specific manufacturing window on the 2011 Fords in which the glow plug tips would break off and fall into the engine, causing major damage. I'm only aware of this because TN22 has a 2011 F250 and told me about the potential problem as his was built during this window. He got a great deal, so opted to take the chance. You might reach out to him. That being said, at 112K, I'd highly doubt this would be a problem. Like Lone-Star said, the 10K difference in price would cover the cost of a lot of repairs, but - Less Miles and Warranty is always better, a

SWEET iced tea....just saying..

This would bring an entirely new meaning to character meet and greets....

If its just leveling the rear I wouldn't think it would cause any major problems.

And this is less real than a mouse suit? :lmao1:

I don't know how I've missed this thread....spend a lot of enjoyable time going thru this and watching your youtube videos. What a project!!! FANTASTIC!

it's a crapshoot - if you get a ram (and stay up on maintenance in your front end!!) you may never have a problem. If it starts the death wobble...you can throw money at it all you want, and you may stop it for 30K miles, but having lived thru 2 Rams with Death Wobble and the inherent danger it poses, especially while towing - not worth it to me. Forgive me if I'm repeating anything, but to be clear - I've owned every brand of truck, Ford, Dodge, Chevy - never had a motor problem with any of them. The ONLY issue I've had was the death wobble on my 07 Ram 2500 at about 100K miles - droppe

We know Donkey is your hero... I vote Jungle Book!

I traded my 2013 that death wobbled at 21k miles for a 2015 Chevy - I know I won't be able to recoup my losses, but good riddance...

Are they from Southern Japan?

Great update! :cheers:

ah....10mpg makes sense. It'd tow a house, tho'
