RE: Pahrump to Winnemucca
Road is good. Be sure to have enough gas. I stayed at New Frontier Campground when I took that route. Recommend it. Winnemaucca.

RE: Hardside TC for 3900 pound payload shortbed
I had a 2019 Palomino hardside. Nice camper, was like 2400 dry. Had it on a 2500 Dodge 5.7. Was a great combination and handled very well.

RE: Brake buddy compressor power draw
I don't know the "draw" answer, but we had to have a separate line/plug run to the battery. The 12 volt receptacle in vehicle was not enough for the BB.

RE: rv towing companies
Back in 2008, I paid $3.00 a mile to have a fifth-wheel brought to FL from GA. My best guesstimate would be 6.00 a mile now? Dealers have transporters who deliver their units to customers. I used one they suggested. Bonded and insured.

RE: brake buddy use
Our BB never drained the battery. As you are planning to start and run the engine on the car every 100 miles, I would think that will help. We did have a line run to the battery with its own 12 volt receptacle as the 12 volt plug in the car did not have enough voltage for the BB.

RE: Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado
I did Wolf Creek Pass in 2019. I saw tour buses, semi's and motorhomes on it. Follow the speed limit and you should be fine with your rig. Beautiful road.

RE: Changing oil.
I used Ford dealerships when on the road. I called Ford Customer Service and got the names of dealerships in the area who service motorhomes. Worked out well for me.

RE: air compressors
I carry a hot dog compressor from Harbor Freight, 120 volt. It has worked fine for truck and trailer tires. Around $50.

RE: Broken Macerator - Tank Full
Never heard of no valve gate. Is there a compartment right about the outlet that maybe the handle is located in? I had a Pleasure Way and yes, it was low to the ground, but I did have the handles.
If me, I would call a septic tank service and get a pump out.

RE: Auxiliary brake system
Used the Brake Buddy Classic for years. Had one rebuilt. Excellent customer service. I towed cars, not trucks. When I sold my last one, a gentleman with a 1/2 ton truck bought it.

RE: Smaller or more minimalist truck camper
I had a Palomino truck camper on a 3/4 ton long bed, Dodge Ram. I put air bags on the truck and it was the perfect set up. Drove beautifully, no sway. Went from FL to the state of WA with it. Awesome way to travel. Had all the amenities. It was about 2400 dry and within specs for the truck bed when loaded. I did not find the long bed, crew cab hard to drive. I looked at the CampLite, they can be for short beds or long beds. A little concerned about the quality, but they looked good.

RE: Rear window reflective sun shade
Would a motorhome windshield sunshade work for your big window? I used a regular size folding kind in my fifth-wheel rear window. Worked great. Or buy a roll of it at Lowe's or Home Depot and cut to size?

RE: Towing with older vehicle
I had a 2003 Pleasure Way, hitch rated for 10,000#. I wouldn't have hesitated in the least bit to tow a lightweight car.

RE: Can I get on my roof?
I used to get on my roof (different units, different roof types.) Don't now, but only due to my age.
My neighbor next door just had his roof inspected and the person walked all over it. He has a rubber roof.
Just be careful if you go up there!

RE: Making the move back to a Class A
I had a Monaco Monarch, 2011, 31'.. full wall slide. That was a top notch coach. Ford V-10. Probably my favorite of all my Class A's. Next was a 31' Winnebago Sightseer.

RE: Rte 2 Across Vermont, New Hampshire into Maine
Many years ago I took it from Maine to NH. It was very doable with a Class A and toad. I do remember where it said "road out ahead" and lo and behold, that is exactly what they meant. The pavement ended and it was just a packed section! That was a shocker. But, a very pretty scenic road. Enjoy.
