My apologies to you, and everyone else out there in I95 North that day. That was my RV that held up traffic for all those hours. Left rear truck tire blew out, and that was the result, I couldn't control it. The Dog and I walked away with just a seat belt bruise. Tow company wouldn't let me into the trailer, even after 2 days, so I rented a truck and moved onto Maine. I essentially lost everything I owned in that trailer! So much for my stop at "The Oaks"...

Because if a dog slips its leash or the owner drops the leash the dog is gone and the owner has no way of getting him back until the dog wants to come back! our dogs know if they leave our side or slip the leash they can be 200 feet away and I can still control my dog and make him stop on a dime from whatever he is doing!

When I purchased my 'snap pads' I knew the ground was not level everywhere we went. I ordered "Mytee Products (4 Pack) Round Outrigger Pad 15" Diameter, 1.5" Thick, 50,000 lbs' from Amazon and use them everywhere we park our 5th wheel that is not concrete. It works perfectly, inexpensive and easy to throw under the snap pads before leveling.

On another note I saw they were pulling that BIG 5ver with a single wheeled truck maybe a 3/4 or 1 ton hard to tell. This is my issue with towing monster 5vers with small TV's! At minimum a class 6 or above should ALWAYS be used for large RV's and 5vers. Yea, your truck can pull it but can it safely stop it that's the issue!

I did hear a lot of issues with people loosing them so I ordered the 6 pack so I would have 2 extras. I initially didn’t have the pins in 100% of the way, but took pliers, and then used Gorilla tape over the opening s. All is still good.

Hi, Aaron and Chris. I noticed the plastic underbelly was starting to peel way when you were installing the new snap pads, I hope you got that addressed before traveling anywhere. Please stay safe, that accident looked horrible, I hope they were OK. Personally I think as these RV’s and trucks get bigger and longer people should be required to have special training or even a CDL, just my opinion. Thank you for the great videos!

Going to Charleston and Savanna? Thousand Trails members? The Oaks at South Point on your agenda? I hope you bought the pontoon package for your truck and coach if it is. We had to wade through ankle deep water for 11 our of 14 days last year.

I believe that the RAM Magacab Dually and the long bed are exactly the same wheelbase and length. They are the same wheelbase because the extra room for the Megacab interior comes directly out of the long bed size. Therefore, they should turn the same and be the same overall length. Love your videos. Thank you.
@IreneIronTravels 17 күн бұрын
Thanks, appreciate ya watching! 😊 They are different trucks. The mega cab is about 10 inches longer than the crew cab and the 6'4'' bed is about 20 inches shorter. I think RAM has our truck listed at about 11 inches shorter overall and 9in shorter wheel base than the longbed crew. The Ford crew cab longbed is even longer I think 16-18 inches longer than ours. 👍 You can really tell in person when you see them next to each other.

the long bed and short bed are both the same wheelbase.

One question. It appears when your towing that you don't have the mirrors extended, can you see around the trailer ok? I think you would have better visibility if you extended the mirrors. I have an older megacab where the mirrors flip up and out and I wouldn't have any view with the mirrors down.
@IreneIronTravels 21 күн бұрын
Good question! We had just gotten this RAM a couple months ago and this was our second big tow. I think in all the "newness" we kinda forgot about extending them! But we do now for sure. I like the update of the newer power mirrors....but I also liked the look of the older flip ups too. What do people call them...moose ears.. or something. 🤣

Didn't realize the rubber jack rubbers prevent the jack feet from bending? We don't have them on a heavy MH and never have had bending feet problems but usually use wood blocks when off pavement.
@twlongtine 21 күн бұрын
Me neither. Same class A for 16 years, and never heard of jack feet bending, and we're not "resort" campers. Don't understand the need for Snap Pads. We've been planning to move to an Alliance 5th wheel, but beginning to seriously reconsider. What with frame failure, dropping tanks, detached walls, destroyed awnings, and such I'm seriously reconsidering. Great customer service is wonderful, but fifth wheels are beginning to appear too fragile...

We've been debating getting our ram ceramic coated also. Can you let us know approximately what it cost to have yours done? We are on the west coast, so it would be at a different place. Just curious of a ball park amount. Thanks
@IreneIronTravels 11 күн бұрын
Ceramic coating a vehicle can really range from roughly $1000-$3000, depending on where you go, how much prep goes into it, and what quality of coating you get. Just make sure you do your homework on where you're going to get it done and what they are going to do. We're hooked! 😊
@dirtroadsailing6418 21 күн бұрын
Since you have a mega cab with a 6 foot bed, you have the same wheelbase as a normal crew cab with an 8 foot bed. Ram doesn't make a mega cab with an 8 foot bed so you have the longest wheelbase they make. Any idea you have about the truck making shorter turns is just perceived.
@IreneIronTravels 21 күн бұрын
I think the perceived info is that they have the same wheelbase or are the same length. A lot of people think this... but according to RAM's website info on the actual dimensions of the trucks, the 8ft crew is 260in overall length with a 169in wheelbase and the 6.4 ft Megacab has an overall length of 249in and a wheelbase of 160in. They even give the turning radius of 26.8 ft and 25.3 ft respectively. Even greater difference than the Ford 8ft crew. So while our thoughts are based on RAM's actual dimensions it would still be interesting to see them side by side in actual turning and parking situations. 👍

FYI...we live 100 miles from Tallahassee. You would have been very disappointed in the "COE" park near there. It's actually Coe Landing, a county park and not big rig friendly. There are only 3 COE campgrounds in Florida, all in South Florida. BTW, do you have any idea what the ballpark price would be for ceramic coating on an F-250 and a 22ft Cougar camper?
@IreneIronTravels 21 күн бұрын
Oh, thanks for that clarification! I saw Coe and assumed! 🤣 I would guess a 22-footer would be around $4000. They do charge a little bit more than some of the other ceramic shops because of their coating formula, but some shops only last a few years. Give Briston a call and can give you an exact quote. 👍 850 300 0199

Yes, they pretty much coat everything thats painted on the outside, the wheels, the plastic trim, headlights, taillights, and the windsheild and windows. I think they have to put a differant formula on the glass though....
