Countless hours - New TT
After countless agonizing hours of looking at TT's I just made a down payment on a new TT. Springdale 296BHSSR. Still keeping my Jayco for a little while for those short trips in case I don't want to travel to my permanent site to pick up this beast.

RE: Hitch Weight - Chev 1/2
I know it will take 1,000 with the current hitch and I will be right at that depending on load. I was wondering if I can put a 1200lbs hitch on it. And would it be ok to do provided I'm within my weights.

RE: Hitch Weight - Chev 1/2
I was thinking more like 1000 lbs of stuff which brings me to 6600. Which .15 would be 990. Again a little close. If I needed a different hitch that's fine. Just didn't want to look at another hitch if the truck would not take the load.

Hitch Weight - Chev 1/2
Looking at purchasing a new RV. Dry weight is 5640 and hitch Weight is 840. Is the limitation of the hitch weight due to the OEM hitch on the truck or the truck itself?
The truck is a 2009 Chev Silverado 1/2 tow rating 9500lbs and payload of 1680. Factory hitch has a rating with weight distribution of 1000lbs. The 840 is a little close to my liking espcially with the propane tank up front. I usually tow without water, but not sure where the water tank is in this unit. I don't plan on pulling it across country mostly local trips.
Would I get the 1000 spring bars or 1200. Thanks in advance.

RE: OpenOffice.Org vs Windows 7
I would be surprised if it worked under Vista and not Windows7. They are basically the same internals.

RE: Another "KEY WEST" question
I drove down there in a pouring rain storm. Only the people in florida really know what real rain storms are. Not so much fun. Very interesting place though.

RE: State park booking?
The first day of the reservation must be 11 months way. The other days will be more than 11 months away which is ok. That's the way it works in WI

RE: Looking for TT size/towing suggestions
I just bought a 2009 Chevy Crew Cab. If you got the external Oil cooler which is in the performace package/Tow Package (Depends what they call it in your region) the rating is 9500. If you didn't then the rating is about 6500lbs. If you just are starting out I'd keep the length and weight low so you can get use to pulling something like that. I think 26' would work fine. If you didn't get a slide it would be no problam at all with weights with a slide might get heavy depending on the model.

RE: Prodigy installation in 2009 Silverado Crew Cab
Emailed them. They responded to me in 4 hours and sent me a technical document on how to do it. FYI no more plug in connectors. I just surprised I got a response from someone. Isn't that a novel idea...good customer service.

RE: Prodigy installation in 2009 Silverado Crew Cab
Go to the the prodigy site and see if that harness is compatable with the newer truck.
They don't list it for my year truck. I've checked. I didn't know Tekonsha bought prodigy...

Prodigy installation in 2009 Silverado Crew Cab
Just wondering if anyone has put one into a 2009 Silverado. I pulled the controller out of my 2004 sliverado. Do they make a cable for the 2009 or can I use the one in the 2004.

RE: Mac or PC laptop?
I just was going through the same decision after my 6 year old laptop bit the dust. I was all set to purchase a Macbook pro, but after I thought about it I deceided to go to a pc instead. However I also bought a IMAC for a desktop machine(well I have a linux netbook too. I have a problem). I could buy both machines for about the price of a macbook pro. Since I use a laptop for mostly surfing the net and reading email didn't need a macbook pro to do that. If you have only one machine though I would consider a mac. They have a lot of cool software for manageing pictures and they are pretty foolproof.

You will be fine with the 1500HD. It's a good truck.

Yellowstone Cabins - East Entrance
My family is planning a trip to yellowstone in august. We haven't decided whether to camp the entire time. (I would, but wife no way. Probably use a popup for the time we were there and stay at cabins lodges).
Has anyone stayed or notice lodging by fishing bridge, bridge bay other areas you would suggest that looked nice and may be reasonable? We will be coming into the east entrance. Nothing in the middle of nowhere (again I would, wife wouldn't).

14 vs 15 tires Math question?
I'm looking at two trailers from the same company. They are pretty much the same except ones a lighter , but I'm thinking they are both based on the same frame walls ect. (keystone hornet and keystone hideout) if the frames were the same would the 14 inch tires make the camper 1 inch lower or is it more involved than that? The specs
are all over the board.
