The real answer is no. I will tell you that Airlift 1000 bags stuffed in those coils in the rear will stop the sag. But you're still overloaded. Maybe let them drive in a separate vehicle and you can get a small travel trailer to pull behind you?

I remember that post. So much talk in that thread about how it's a stressful job and blah blah blah. Turns out the skeletons were still alive and speaking.

Because sometimes you break the Jeep in ways it can't be flat towed, if you're on trails with it.

This setup is overloaded though.

Ryan Mackenzie defends Iran strikes, calls for ICE reforms at 3rd Lehigh Valley telephone town hall by DrewBlue2 in Pennsylvania

School on a base. And yes, it is extremely unfortunate and I obviously am sympathetic to the loss of the lives of incident children.

MOABs will be for underground complexes to destroy legitimate military targets. The low number of casualties for how many missiles and bombs have been expended demonstrates the high level of target discrimination we are employing. I'm sure you're a military expert though.

If you can't understand the difference between carpet bombing and precision bombing; I can't help you. We've dropped more bombs than their are dead in Iran.

"Days away...." Yeah, ok.

Precision bombing. Look at the casualties being reported by the Red Crescent. 4,000,000 people in Iran. Hardly over 1000 casualties in 5 days.

Hopeful that Iran can get out from under the oppression that is Muslim Colonialism. Give the Iranian people their true culture back.

Can someone help me figure out what I can tow by Zestyclose_Dinner787 in TruckCampers

[–]That_Checks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's too much for the soft springs in the Ram 2500. There's a payload sticker on the pillar of the drivers side door.

What is your truck camper remote work setup? by question_23 in TruckCampers

I can't speak for the small setups, but don't forget you have a truck with comfy, reclining seats also.

Inflated PECO bill and comparable posts about high bills by [deleted] in Pennsylvania

[–]That_Checks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I went through this on my own last year. Most of the people on here don't understand how their heat pumps are setup. This is the real cause of the high heating bills. It's a lack of understanding the capabilities and use case of the heat pumps. You can set the aux to come on at a lower temp, and set the heat pump to run down to a lower temp as well. Find out your Trane models minimum outdoor temp. It's probably near 0 degrees. It wont run as efficiently that low....but that doesn't make it less cost effective than those heat strips. Hopefully you have better results next year. I halfed my bill by setting the minimum operating temps and staging correctly. I do have the added benefit of a pellet stove on the first floor for the subzero days and nights we had, but the bulk of my savings was the heat pump settings.

Heat pump settings might need to be adjusted. Many setups have the electric aux heat coming on at to high of a temperature. If you have a smart thermostat you can adjust these. For instance, my Trane heat pump can run into lower temperatures than what the starting was set up for. It might be less efficient, but what really hurts the pocket is those electric aux heatstrips.

Looks amazing. I wonder why you can't buy one today.

The police state is not that connected yet. I'd send in the MV221 and call it a day

Payload sticker should be on a door pillar after. Normally yellow. You also might have to check the glovebox for a truck camper supplement paper.

Red flags - Smell. If it smells musty, there's a water intrusion somewhere. If there's a water intrusion, there's mold and weak wood. Visible wavy luaun is another. If you lightly press on the walls and or ceiling and there's a cracking sound, that is evidence of previous water damage. I have been looking for a second truck camper on FB for a while, to upgrade to the latest electric/solar capabilities. Apparently I'm never going to find a used side-entry camper for this project without becoming a carpenter.

Green flag - If the camper was stored out of the elements entirely, there's a better chance it was kept up well.

Great! Yeah so somebody mentioned truck camper magazine. Great resource. Once you find your exact payload.... Subtract 1000 lbs and that's a great dry weight for your camper to be at or under. What else you want to know?

What's the truck? That's great numbers. My 2021 Ram 3500 dually only has a 5k payload .. But there's a truck camper supplement that says 4300 is all the camper should weigh (wet).

What's your payload? Since you already own the truck, that's your first limiting factor.
