Read the article on the Ford and am not impressed with the power or the mileage. I am driving a Toyota Sequoia now with the 5.7 and have more hp and a little less torque and 6sp transmission and get better mileage. Pulling my Hi Lo throught the hills and mountains of California I am getting no...

I am also thinking of going the same route to keep from going diesel but with a supercharged Tundra. The supercharger supplied and installed by Toyota ups the horsepower and torque of the 5.7 to 500hp and 550 lbft and keeps the original warranty. Has anyone here had any experience with this setup?

Batteries and generators I have been on the road since June of 2011 and have done quite a bit of dry camping with the 2807 using 2 Odysses 12V AGM batteries in the tongue and a Lifan 3500 electric start gen on the rack on the back. Have been in every type of public campground you can think of...

Hi Jerry. Did you see my pictures of the other cabinets I built? I will send some of the wine boxes as soon as we move and I get the new floor down. Probably in about 2 weeks. Everything is a mess now and our Granddaughter is with us for the week, kinda slows the work down a little. :)

I just purchased cork plank flooring for the main area and the bathroom. It has double cork sides and is a floating click together floor. I figured it will cost $400 and add some insulating properties to the floor. I plan on sealing it with water based polyurethane and have rug pieces at the...

Well, we went to Total Wine and bought some wooden wine boxes and set them on every flat surface we could find in the bath and bedroom. The wife is rolling our socks, underwear, towels, and washcloths and putting them in the boxes for easy access. They then can be stacked or set on the floor...

I found clear replacements for the slider and the non movable piece at our local RV store. They fit better and look better.

My wife thought of another great idea today while in Total Wine. Using wine boxes for putting small clothing items in, like undies and socks and putting them on the divider shelf. They sell them for around 4 bucks and are pretty nice looking.

There a lot of good tow vehicles out there, just make sure it's a Toyota:D

I recently added four small portable cabinets to the kitchen and bath. They were made from scrap shipping boxes made of multiply plywood and some trim pieces. I designed them to hold all of our small incidentals that we were packing up everytime we moved. They are 5.5 inches deep by 24 inches...

P.S. Check online for Etrailer and Autoanything for your trailer and tow needs. I bought a Reese SC hitch at a huge discount and it has the built in sway control and I am pleased with it. Have bought a lot of tires and parts from these two sites and if you watch for sales, especially in the...

I had a 2007 Toyota Sienna with the 3.5 engine and it had plenty of power, but it will do a lot of shifting. It doesn't have the low end torque needed to really pull a trailer well. I have read that the early models already had the transmission cooler. If you decide to tow with the van, make...

I have already reserched the tires and rims and yes I am fully loaded. I think I have plenty of clearance, even with the new rims and tires. I am planning a trip to Alaska and would just like the idea of having a little more leeway on the tire capacity because of possible road conditions. Still...

2207 Classic loaded to 7000lbs 2011 Sequoia with 5.7 six speed 13 to 16 mpg at 50 to 60 mph I have done some tests and at 45mph in 5th gear I can get 20, so I know I can stretch it if needed, like towards the end of the month before my check is in the bank.

I have a 2709 and am in Naples till January. If you would like to see one email me at captbobster@gmail.com.

Have you looked at contact shelf paper

I bought the 3500 Lifan electric start at Home Depot for $416 with 3yr warranty and have been using it for the last 3 months in state and national parks and have had good luck with it and no complaints. It will run everything in the trailer except the microwave along with any kind of heater or...

I replaced the Wingman head with the Jack for $40 and the reception is great, you just pop the 2 pins out that hold the antennae to the square tubing and put on the Jack, 15 mins tops and smaller antennae with better results.

Hi Jim and thanks for the invite. We stayed at Big Meadows in the Shenandoah from the 3rd to the 8th of Oct and then at Greenbelt DC for 2 days and now at Pokomoke River SP at Snow Hill MD checking on some ancestry. Sorry we missed you but had reservations. Tires are still doing good, but before...

I've looked at my wheel wells and spacing and I can't see a problem with going to the next size tire. They are only 1.2 inches bigger in diameter and .8 inches wider and I seem to have plenty of room all around on my 2807. My car tires are way oversized for my car and that is from the factory...

Well I got to northern Ohio, Indian Lake near Lima, and had no more problems with tires. I still think it would be a good idea to step up to 225/75 x 15 and possibly to the D rated tire so I could run 65 lbs and have no worries of overloading the tires, plus I would think the extra pressure...

6 yr limit Hi Mike, I also have the same trailer as you and was towing from Florida to Ohio on our first trip, had checked all tires before we left for pressure and signs of wear. We had 2 2006 and 2 2009 tires on the trailer, all Marathons and all looked new, guess that should have told me...

Born in Lima, Oh., raised in Indian Lake, Oh. Air Force from 1965 to 1972. Moved to Naples, Florida in 1993 and am now retired and ready to hit the road in my 2007 28 Classic. Can't wait till I get to take the Alaska trip, so I'll be asking all kinds of questions from everyone. What a great...

Another possibility of repairing any rotted wood, could be using penetrating epoxy after the rotted wood is dried then regular epoxy to fortify it.

Thanks for the thumbsup Jack. Unless you work with batteries in a industrial way it is hard for the laymen to understand how complex they can be instead of how simple they look. I just wish I could talk more people into trying AGM batteries as they are both deep cycle and cranking rated, in fact...
