RE: Ford Gas 6.2 vs 7.3
Can’t be a gas cap issue because they don’t have gas caps. Lol If that IS the issue, capless gas tanks have been around a long time and I’ve never heard of issues other than some people think they’ll get all kinds of dirt in them. Maybe the poster will break his silence. But he did say he wouldn’t talk about it!

RE: Best wheel bearing grease
Another vote for Lucas Red N Tacky. I grease bearings every other year and it’s been the only one that looks like it did when I packed it last. Truth be told, I’ve never had a bearing failure or seal leak even with the grease that is “liquified” after 2 years.

RE: Half ton towing
I like it when people ask about towing with my f150 at the campground. Sometimes it goes long enough that I mention the HDPP and they look at me like I have 2 heads. They have no idea what it is or that it’s available. I’m sure some of them walk away thinking I’m making it up.

RE: Towing With Water Pump Switched On. Burn Up Pump??
I would just carry a gallon jug of water to fill the toilet bowl and leave the pump off to avoid mishaps. I actually just leave pressure in my lines and I can flush a few times before needing to turn the pump on also.

Both responses are what I expected from keyboard tough guys. The constant monitoring of this thread from both of you confirms exactly what I stated. Thanks for the laugh

RE: Pet peeve, neighbors leave porch light on
But is one camper's habit of leaving their outdoor light(s) on all night the campground's environment? Or is it an individual camper's idiosyncrasy?
For me, I would say follow the lighting protocol of the campground. So, if the campground has no artificial lighting then leaving a porch light on all night would be a no-no. If there are lights outside the restrooms that are on all night, then a porch light would be reasonable. If there are "street lights", then additional lighting would be acceptable.
And the campground may have different sections that differ in what's acceptable. A campground I visit often is like that. When you drive in, there is a long stretch with full hookup sites and "street lights". Around a corner is a loop with just electric and water. This loop has no " street lights" but has an outdoor light at the restrooms. Another section is dry, but has the outdoor bathroom light. The loop I stay at is dry, no "street lights", and a vault toilet with no lights at all. Across the road are three group sites with varying degrees of lighting.
If someone came to " my" loop and left their porch light on all night, I'd take issue. But it'd be fine in the other sections.
I can’t believe what I just readSeemed pretty straight forward and reasonable. Can't wrap your head around that?
What I’m wrapping my head around is there’s a bunch of controlling (at least trying) bullies that try to dictate what’s acceptable (to them) of what you can and cannot do in a campground that they don’t own and that has no rules against. If you want to control every aspect of the night in a campground, do everyone a favor and either stay home or camp out in the desert. If seen enough in my lifetime of camping to know when someone is just an *******. For example “if someone came to “my” loop”. and also earlier in the thread “I’ve got the right to swing”. I’d welcome anyone to my door to ***** about a porch light(btw, I don’t even have one). I’d be willing to bet it would be “lights out” for one of us. I hope I dumbed it down enough for ya.

RE: Pet peeve, neighbors leave porch light on
I’m wondering what some of you do when you have to camp near a bathroom or shower building? Or god forbid, a streetlight? Do you complain about those too? Maybe you should rent 3 or 4 sites so a simple porch light won’t keep you up all night. Maybe start a campground that has a “lights out” rule 30 minutes after sunset? Good grief

RE: How to carry blackstone griddle
Sounds like some people aren’t flipping the griddle over before storing it? That solves worrying about getting grease inside the bag.

RE: Endurance Tires
The trailer shows a 7495 GVWR = 1875 lbs per tire....
Dry weight says around 6265 = 1560 lbs per tire....
This = around 1200 lbs of CCC so most likely the trailer will weigh close to its 7495 lb max gvwr.
The Endurance ST 205/75-15 load D at 65 psi and a 2175 lb load capacity will give the trailer a nice 15% load reserve capacity. ?
Some tire dealers have excellent experience with trailer wheels tech and tires tech (matching pressures/load capacities/proper width/etc).......others ??.
For this trailer I would stick with the OEM sizes/load ranges.
edit ....jim
Are you forgetting tongue weight deducts from axle weight? The 7500 GVW would be closer to 6500 on the axles.

RE: Big Tires pulling Small tires.
Many open snowmobile trailers have 8-10” rims and tires that have 20” diameters. Highway towing is NOT an issue. In fact etrailer has tires that are rated for 81mph. As long as the bearings have the proper maintenance and the axle isn’t overloaded there’s nothing to be concerned about. Plenty of cars had 13” wheels 20 years ago.

RE: Timbrem or Sumos on F150
I have the black Sumos on my F150 with a 1” gap. It rides like stock when unloaded and drops 2” when towing the 5th wheel. Would definitely buy again.

RE: Towing with a 2022 Ford 150 3.5 EcoBoost
The rig in my signature “engine brakes” better than any gas tow vehicle I’ve had including GM’s 5.3, 6.0, and 6.2. BTW my 5er weighs 10K lbs so it’s not exactly light for a 1/2 ton.

RE: New truck pricing
I was thinking that exact same thing seeing pictures of rows incomplete vehicles waiting for chips/etc. With the end of the model year approaching and knowing Tesla has over a million preorders for their fast coming Cybertruck (maybe not something us RVers would want but still digging into truck sales overall), it seems like the legacy manufacturers will feel the need to chop prices dramatically to move the backlog once they obtain parts to finish them. I kind of doubt finishing those trucks is only a matter of plugging in a part and shipping them. I would think the vehicle would still need final inspections back on the line and then need to be loaded and shipped. I wouldn't think those trucks would be at dealers until at least September when buyers would be expecting to see 2022s. With GM and Ford teetering, this might be the end of one of them
Teetering? You can’t be serious

RE: 1/2 ton towing a 5th wheel
If you're within weight limits, it should work. Be prepared to get 5 mpg when towing. Keep it under 65.
You lose all credibility when you make a statement like that.

RE: 1/2 ton towing a 5th wheel
My 5th wheel is 10000lbs gross. My F150 HDPP w/ max tow has an actual payload rating of 2565 and a rawr of 4800. At the scales with me, wife and dog with a full tank of fuel, it’s at 7980 which is 130 over my 7850 rating which I can live with. Rear axle is 4500.(300 under) Pin weight is 1850 with a total trailer weight of 9600. With your particular version of F150 you’ll be overloaded and I’d strongly advise against it. If it had the HD payload package it would be doable. That’s what makes or breaks this combo.
