Good word. Very good word. Thank you! - Michelle

Thanks for the info , Flex.

Privated your carnivore video I see, Pathetic, really..

I wish more folks would do what you just did. Very important information to have if you are towing any distance at all. First thing I do when I get a new tow vehicle or trailer is load it all up the way we travel and head to the CAT scale so I know exactly where I am at. I like to measure my truck loaded for travel but unhooked and see where my front axle weight is at. Then when hooked up I use my weight distribution hitch to put weight back to the front of my truck so that my front axle is the same weight with or without the trailer. This ensures great handling, and is not overly stressing my truck or trailer. Been doing it this way for over 40,000 miles and no issue yet, and it handles great. Safe travels....

Thank you! This is very helpful, I’m just trying to be more active and that’s hard with this heat. Although this week has been cooler 🩷

Thank you, all great points 🩷

Thank you! This was great! I walked over 2 miles last evening outdoors (81 in OKC) and it was so nice to get out. Thanks for the kick in the butt 😂🩷

All the Blue Ox hitches are bottom of the line kits. Upgrade to something like the Weigh-Safe. It’s much safer and works better.

My first question was did you climb the Manitou Incline, though?!? And YES, you did!!!

Great opening sequence! Nice demonstration of how you pack down the inside of the RV to travel. The air is thinner up there!! Well done doing that hike! -Michelle

I have been doing that for all of my adult life.

Is it mainly for arms or shoulder?

We love our International as well - best color scheme of all the choices. "Home" is anywhere our Airstream is! th-cam.com/video/VOfosnaBIW0/w-d-xo.html

24 minute video with no chapters? Nope not watching.

I would never own this system. To dangerous.

Another comment/observation - on Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating. We discovered a mystery in Ford's calculation of this number for our 10,000 lb rated F250 truck, which advertises it can safely tow 12,000+ lbs. So we did the simple math: 10,000 + 12,000 = 22,000 Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating. HOWEVER, your list on this topic shows the same info that I received in my owners manual. With a 3.73 rear end our GCVWR is only 19,500! IF anyone has an answer on this >2,000 lb discrepancy, pls respond. No one at Ford Forums, or any of the dealers I have discussed this topic can provide an answer.

Great review. Your CAT scales weights as displayed were excellent as well as your explanation of the various weights that many folks on AIRFORUMS do not understand. Not sure if you provided the payload on your tow vehicle, and how far over or under you are as packed for that particular trip. A friend had a F250 Diesel 4x4 King Ranch with std bed and had a payload rating of less than 2,000 lbs. In your situation, if you had a 1900 lb payload on your tow vehicle, you would only. have 1900-1050 (tongue weight) = 850 lbs remaining for driver, passenger, dogs, bed topper, and anything in the bed. Based on our friend's experience we purchased an F250 gas Lariat package and have a payload over 3,500 lbs.

4500 lbs in the front axle without the wdh is plenty to not effect the steering in my opinion. Be interesting to see if you noticed a difference if you drive for awhile without the wdh. This is why I upgraded to a 2500 over a half ton. The 1000 lb tongue wt wiped out all the payload.

Great video, however, your first video was with a half ton Tundra, now you have a 3/4 ton Super Duty, a big difference. What are the spring ratings of your torsion bars?

I also own a 3/4 ton truck with a 27 foot trailer using an E-qualizer WDS. I have done similar to what you did in this video and came to the conclusion that minimal WD is needed for my typical trip setup. I may not actually even need the Sway Control given my particular tow vehicle weight and electronic sway control, but since I have the WDS already setup I still use it at a minimum setting to add sway control assistance for worse case scenarios. I’m always on the lookout for separation issues, and had a couple rivet pops before these adjustments. Any thoughts on a damper style hitch instead of the WDS? Great job on the comprehensive video!

I find people who never move from their hometown tend to stick with friends of their own age.

Loved the car analogy 🎉

right after you got done making the point about not letting a drive-thru trip turn into a habit/setback, there was a McDonald's $5 meal deal TH-cam ad that played. well played, SATAN

man, y'all are making me nostalgic for the mall glory days. people actually shopping in them...PICCADILLY!! oh man... take me back

I am a 61 yo woman, been lifting for a decade. I am stronger than when I was 20.

Wow....thankfully mine came with a ProPride hitch

Do you need wifi connectivity to operate the waggle monitor and camera?

The people building these things are wrong and giving you the wrong instructions. They are putting too much energy in the system. You will end up breaking your truck and trailer

That's way too high!

This is genius

I’m commenting to help and not to be mean spirited. So she put on gloves and then immediately touched the sewer elbow. Then with those same now contaminated gloves, touched the valve release handle, black tank flush hose and while hooking that up the city water inlet cover. After putting on new gloves, disconnected the sewer hose and elbow to stow it and then touched the water supply valves at the site, the fresh water hose and filter, the yellow bag for the sewer hose support and some other tools. All with contaminated gloves. Yes the gloves are to keep your hands clean, but also so that you can take them off or replace them so you’re not getting everything else dirty. Bleach everything because it’s all contaminated. This is why I Clorox the water supply spigot at every site when I arrive before connecting.

Did we ever talk about how the top part of the Berky filter will sit in the bottom part of the Berky upside down? Like a nesting doll? 🪆 Making me nervous with that black tank valve closed 😬...all it takes is one distraction! 😳💩 I think the video speaks for whose job is harder! 👀 1000 subs 👀

Picking up our Classic 30rb from Airstream of Austin on Saturday. Great team!

Adorbs!

Sweet trailer & nice upgrades.👍🏼

Where did you get your lamps? I didn’t see them on your Amazon lists. Thank you!

Jesus! Look at how bent his torsion bars are. Way too much pressure. Dude is going to destroy his front wheel bearings

"anything that is recorded in a grocery store"... laughed out loud a bit at this 😆 !ALDI GROCERY HAUL FOR FAT LOSS 2024! lol

Do you have your trailer brakes adjusted properly

Zip tie, brilliant I am totally going to do that. Thank you!

i do not like the chain style bars

Excellent… we are definitely considering your rig. Love the 27. Thx for the great information!

First off terribly sorry to hear about your accident, I'm glad you recovered, and it wasn't much worse than it appeared to be. Secondly, thank you so much for making this video, absolutely crucial and vital information across-the-board especially on the safety side.

badass

Covered a lot of details even the manufacturers and dealers skipped over completely. Thanks!

you entirely have way to mush pressure on your weight distribution

Ez-lift is much better. Once the trailer is locked on the ball. I raise my truck and the bars with fit right in place. No chains and no broken teeth.

Interesting information. Thank you for your opinion on this. - Michelle
