RE: Good Sam ERS Hung Us Out to Dry
Sadly, I cannot say GS ERS has done nothing bad by us anytime we've needed them. Wether it be lock outs, tows, wheel changes they have always been good. To add to the problems w/ ERS companies, some good, some bad but none are truly 100% great.
OP should write a letter to what's his name that owns CW/GS to see what he says and report back.

RE: Where to in June
Very nice state parks on shore of Lake Ontario in NY. Or perhaps Sun Outdoors/Association Island west of Adams NY. Want to watch ocean/Great Lake ships? Then some NYS parks along the St Lawrence seaway/1,000 islands area.

RE: Water Heater bypass valve.
If you haven't torn apart things just yet, how about just replacing the check valve on the hot water tank 1st? It sounds like we have the exact same kind of docking station set up and the only thing I did from last year was just change the ck valve due to my screw up. So when I went to winterize it this year, no probs.
If you want to, PM me.

RE: Water Heater bypass valve.
Same thing happened to me last year as I have the Anderson valve set up. Only thing I did try last year for 1st time was blowing out the lines w/ air. Because I was on a tight deadline to get RV to storage place, I bought a water heater hose bypass (like 10-15 bucks) to get me thru things and worry about it in spring. Had to take apart the basement wall and such, but was able to get things done. This spring, replaced a check valve on water heater side. No probs all summer. So when I went to winterize it this Mon, I followed directions at docking station, flipped lever to bypass and turned the A-valve to winterize and no probs. Perhaps when I did the air thing, I messed things up......dunno.
I as well thought the A-valve or bypass valve went south and was going to replace the A-valve. About dropped my eyeteeth when I saw it was about 100 bucks and looked to be more involved than I thought. Found a place in OH that had the exact same type of A-vlave just not from A-valve co for a fraction of the cost. Ordered it just in case the check valve on water tank didn't work. Now I cannot locate it here in the house! Go figure. Anyways, I believe I put the cart in front of the horse last fall trying to be in hurry and messed up the check valve on water tank.

RE: What's you remaining payload weights as configured?
Personally after owning a 250 and now having 2 350's, I'd opt for the 350 as stated above. Currently, Ford has the biggest gas motor and will tow the RV in question w/o a problem. Should you decide to go w/ Ram or GM, get the biggest gas motor each offers. Regardless of which brand you end up with, the gassers will turn higher RPM's overall (especially on hills) but will get the job done.
Had 2 short box trucks which I loved and now have a dually. You can easily get by w/ a SRW as long as your under 15k total RV weight. Been many debates on a slider hitch or not w/ shortness and in the end, it's up to you. Had a slider when we 1st got into RVing back in '05, used it 2x in 10 years. My belief is that if your that tight, pull forward to straighten out VS trying to get a lil more and risk popping out back window. I DO miss the short box, but also like the extra room of the long box. If money was no object, the DRW would be used to haul the RV and a short box would be my everyday cruiser. Can do it w/ the DRW, but the short box makes things easier.

RE: New to RVs.....A Few Newbie Questions
Forgot to mention as it was said to me few years back that the heavier the RV usually translates into a better built unit. Thus it will ride better, stand up to long term use and better built quality overall (not always tho).

RE: New to RVs.....A Few Newbie Questions
SUMRX4 said the same thing I was going to say as well about attending the Hershey show. Do you have a floorpan in mind already? If so, look at those on factory websites and IF going to the Hershey show, call the mfr up of each brand/floorplan your interested in to see if it will be at the shoe. If not, then what dealer would have it that you could drive to see it within "X" mile radius. DON'T buy on BLING !!!!!! A lot of mfr's/dealers will load/dress them up w/ everything to get your attention and OUUUUUUU, AHHHHHHHHHH. Look at floor plans that meet your criteria and , "we can make it work" if it doesn't.
As you've read on this forum, many folks are partial to their brand wether it be RV, truck, hitch etc. Most will agree too that anything over 15k total RV weight is DRW territory. Translated: over 3k in wet pin weight and 15k in overall weight or max weight of RV. Do you want gas or diesel? Diesel will net better pulling and mpg's but they can be $$$ to fix along w/ other factors. Look at gas stats. Will you be in a lot of hills or flatlands?
Lastly, THANK YOU for your service to our country and helping the rest of us to be safe and enjoy the freedoms put in place by our forefathers.

RE: Air Filters For Your Trucks
All filters I use are OEM from Filter 1 out of NJ. Good prices and fast shipping. Believe they carry filter products for all 3 brands. Want to say, a few years back I recall the Dodge/Ram folks getting their filters from Gino's (??????) Garage. If not here, there was someplace that was a more Dodge/Ram specific retailer of products for them. Many liked this place. Anyone remember it?
