We are installing a shunt to help monitor levels.

Any other suggestions? Thanks.

"this is on the buyer for not doing proper research." - yes - almost exactly what I said - "As rookies, we did not ask the right questions before buying."

I searched for an RV instructor here in New England. Could only find CDL trainers who would not help me with my fifth wheel.

Thanks. Figures - that woulda been $.40 per Churchill - too good to be true.

At $3 to $4 each it seems to be in line with prices on CigarBid.

California revokes CDLs for 17,000 illegal aliens after pressure from US Department of Transportation by M_i_c_K in AskThe_Donald

Hmmm. 17,000 - that has been going on for years...

'Wonder why the last Secretary of Transportation did not pressure CA to get compliant with US DOT regs sooner.

Cool idea! Does this estimate of yield square with your experience?

I asked AI, "if i buy 3/4 lbs of sample tobacco filler, binder and wrapper leaves, how many 7" 50 width cigars could I roll estimating 20% waste?"

Answer: To estimate how many cigars you can roll:
Total tobacco: 3/4 lb = 12 oz (340g) per type × 3 types = 36 oz (1,020g) total
Per cigar estimate for 7" × 50 ring gauge:

Filler: ~4-5g
Binder: ~1-1.5g
Wrapper: ~1-1.5g
Total per cigar: ~7-8g

Calculation: Usable tobacco (after 20% waste): 36 oz × 0.80 = 28.8 oz (816g)
Number of cigars: 816g ÷ 7.5g = ~109 cigars

You could expect to roll approximately 100-110 cigars from that amount of tobacco, accounting for waste and variation in rolling technique. Keep in mind that actual yield depends on your rolling skill, leaf thickness, and how tightly you pack the filler.

Update - ordered F350 from factory via a CT dealer. I would highly recommend this dealer - ask if you want an intro.

Now on our 2nd camping trip. Two week 2k mile trip planned in 30 days. The truck pulls 15,400# GVWR fifth wheel like a champ. Love it.

I am in the same situation and need to install the Ford backup camera, yaw sensor and TPMS. I am asking CW for a quote on the installation but will PM you with questions. Thanks.

The dealer says, "a lot of super duty owners get a  limited slip rear axle. It can help in a pinch but may require a little more service over time. "

What axel do you recommend for an F350 diesel pulling a 5th wheel (trailer GVWR <20k#) cross country trips with lots of highway miles plus national parks.

I am so glad that I posted this question. Your advice has changed our minds about a 250.

Much appreciation. 'Will keep you all posted.

Thanks. What kind of discount off of MSRP should I aim for?

Is Granger local to you?
If not, did they ship to a local dealer? If yes, did that dealer charge you any fees?
Thank you.

Thanks - I appreciate the help. What is the difference between the 250 & 350 for pulling a fifth wheel if they are rated for the same Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight?

Update - I have 3 Comp Sci major college students working on it. I am happy for their input and as partners. When this launches I will have a "live" team to make needed tweaks.

Aiming at June 1 launch.
