They have a height sensor switch for auto leveling if that would help you. I am not getting that because I only tow my personal camper and will know where to set it. I imagine it would be good for someone towing or hauling different weights all the time

not correct about gas buddy. Its for Diesel as well. You have to use the filters in the app man. Get the ES Advantage card.

Great video! Love the Princess Bride segment. “Okay, okay, okay.”

What does the In class test consist of?

Cotton swabs work great to clean the pin pocket. Edit: I'm not sure if you removed and lubed the second pin. Also, when you apply antiseize to any bolt, you'd have to reduce the torque setting on the wrench.

Well. I live in East texas about 70 miles east of Dallas . So I most definitely have to go south.

I recently retired from txdot . I was thinking of bringing back loads to Texas . Which is a tad over 1000 miles . I live in East texas . Maybe twice a month I would get loads

Do you need CDL or Commercial insurance to do this? I need to start making money asap I have a 2016 Ram 3/4 hem Hd gas burner 4x4 with 51k miles on it. already have 7 pin and 5th wheel I use for my camper.

Who were you working for at the time? and what type of truck were you driving with the sunroof

Extremely informative

You forgot to mention the full width mud flaps come out your pockets too lol ✌️

Hey, brother I just seen this video. I got started by watching your videos, and another guy. You all were the only ones doing it bout 2 or 3 years ago, now there's probably more than 100 guys doing the videos. Thanks for all the Info. Good luck on your next adventure.

Why are you showing drum breaks at the intro?

Loved this video! No B.S. just straight up numbers. I appreciate the info as there are so many RUclipsrs out there blowing smoke. I used to pull horse trailers and cargo trailers so I know your numbers are spot on.

I think alot of it has to do with where you live and how often you want to get by the house . Living in Indiana would be the ideal situation. Since both you and your wife work pulling rv"s then thats a big advantage. One thing that you and most of the RV transporters forget to mention is paying your taxes. You are contractors working for yourself so you have to pay your federal and state taxes. The company does not do that for you. Interesting content keep up the good work. Also for you that are thinking about starting RV transport if you don't already have a truck buy used, 4X4, crew cab 3/4 ton diesel 100k - 200k less then 10 years old.

If you don't get reimbursed, you can still get to write it off on your taxes.

Weight isn’t as important as wind resistance and drag Haul 5th wheels even if they are heavy. The wind drag is MUCH less, fuel economy is about 20-30% better and they pull much smoother. Bumper pull = 8 mpg while 5th wheel = 11

Thanks for the info, one question I have regarding the truck, I understand you went with Dodge but basically said it's somewhat irrelevant on the big 3, but I didn't hear if you recommended dually or single wheel?

do you need dot numbers ? do you have to go thru scales?

Powder coated rotors. That's interesting.

I have never used my parking brake. On my 2004 Dodge Caravan, it was a rusted out mess. I used a cutoff to remove my rotor and all parking brake mechanisms. I am doing this project along with new bearings tonight when I get home. Will probably end up getting new calipers and brackets like this car requires. Before you install them spray them with some good rustoleum spray paint to stop the corrosion and they will look better.

I use my stubby impact on everything. Combined with a universal swivel impact makes it super easy and fast

Weight distribution hitches are great until you're hauling a camper that is too light to a dealership that specifies no load bars/sway bars

Come on get to it!!!

Come on Toad get those screws in!!!

You were talking 1,000,000 miles before. Kinda full of shit I suppose!!!

Get rid of that belly. Things would be easier !!!

would have liked to see you had cleaned up both slide pins not just one, but other than that very good video.

Finally...actual information! Thank you!

Don’t do this. Do research and you will know

The Recreational vehicle industry brings in over-114 billion $ into the US economy. Employs over 600k people. A very important part of the US economy. But the delivery drivers that deliver the product to dealers make how much ? Sleeping in pickup ? Eating cucumbers in ranch ? How many times did I hear (sometime ya just have to eat it)-or-(it is what it is ?)

Fair Winds & Following Seas Absolutely. Delivered campers for 3.5 years. Delivered many and ran hard. Started with this H company and it was the worst. They literally flat out lie. They prey on the newbies who apply and don’t know any better. To anyone considering delivery campers. Please do your research and remember If it sounds to good to be true it usually is. Here’s how it works. The new drivers are attracted to how the driver job is advertised. They spend thousands on advertising. The driver applying jumps through all the hoops during orientation. Some go as far as purchasing a new truck to pull with. They actually encourage and say that your truck can only be so old to try to get you to be locked in and stuck hustling paying for a new truck. I called them out on this. After working for them already for several weeks and they called me and told me my truck was too old and I needed to consider getting into a new truck. I politely told them that’s not gonna happen this truck only has 58,000 original miles on it and it looks brand new as well. The truck I was running a 99 F350 that was sent to classy chassis in Indiana right after it was purchased new by original owner. The second owner purchased it with 32k miles on it. And that was my father. I bought it from Dad with 56k . (Google: classy chassis in Indiana ). They tried desperately over the phone to talk me into buying a new truck. I told them they can say whatever they want but I’m not buying a new truck. As far as I’m concerned I already have a new truck . They said they would have to inspect it. When I got to the yard and the guy came out with a clipboard looking all official and walked around the truck and then walked around it slowly then come up to me and look me in the eye and said I think this is the best looking truck in the fleet. And started talking about designating me for pulling show units to shows. I did 2-shows and told them I’m not doing another. That’s a whole jacked up deal. All the time during orientation they are painting this adventurous beautiful high paying position with the company. The new driver starts delivering campers. 90%of return trips your empty. Hardly ever A backhaul. Burning up fuel racking up mileage on truck. By the time the new driver figures out they are not making much more than cost. But they try hard to make it work. They have a truck to pay for. A family at home they trying to provide for. That company doesn’t give a rip. Several weeks maybe months go by before its realized it’s just not gonna work. But they have delivered many trailers in the process before calling it. How does the company see it ?...NEXT ! There is literally thousands of dollars between the MSRP and dealers cost laying on the table. No reason but greed for not paying a respectable delivery charge. Shows on delivery papers even a respectable fuel surcharge paid on delivering the unit...which most every delivery company is taking more than half of that instead of giving it to drivers. Many times in delivery unit at dealer. They are treating drivers like second class citizens. Some not all but many way out of line and disrespectful with treatment of drivers delivering the product that they are selling. Their bread and butter. Never could figure that one out because there’s a good chance you will deliver another to them . But at one point many CEOs of camper manufacturers in northern Indiana held a meeting/event at the RV Haul of Fame facility inviting drivers to attend to seek input as to why they can’t get drivers to deliver campers. The questions results ? Number one reason...pay. Drivers could not make much more than cost of operations. Many running in the red in hopes things would get better only to get truck repossessed. Second reason was dealerships disrespectful treatment of drivers on delivery’s. Oh they really like working the retired folks looking for something to do. Let that one sink in. I could go for hours on this with many examples of rotten situations experienced. But not and end it with this if you are considering this. At orientation ask questions. Ask the awkward uncomfortable questions as well. And remember: none of these company’s care about anything but getting the units delivered. You as a delivery driver they don’t give a care because there’s another driver right behind you that went to the same Orientation class with the same line of BS they sold you they sold them. They hold orientation classes of 15-20 newbies every week for a reason. They know what works They’ve been doing it for years. Thinking 🤔 of the many drivers actually losing it knowing what kind of position they are now in. Family counting on them. Now further in debt than when they started. Seen several. This and much more happened in this testimony of my experience doing this. Ive done the best to my ability possible to not add anything to this thats not accurate. And I’m certainly not taking anything away from it either. knowingly and intentionally ruined many honest hard working good people’s lives operating in this way. They know exactly what they are doing. Next !!!

Thanks brother. God's blessing upon you. Safe travels

What do you mean by getting your own numbers.

You're gonna miss the road👍

Are you able to write off any of your fuel costs? Thanks in advance.

Is it worth doing this as a team? Is there enough money in it?

Just subed come back and make some videos lol

Absolutely right driving without a trailer is your time FK DOT

One of the most informative vids I’ve watched on this subject.

Damn you got the heated steering wheel the A/C cooling seats I am thinking you got the heated tail gate on that big bad ram so you don't freeze your fingers as you push that junk to the side of the road you know what they say if you want Power get a Ford if you want Comfort get a Chevy if you don't want either get a Dodge

Been driving trucks of one sort or another since 1968, have thought about hauling RV's lately. I appreciate your experience and your willingness to share your knowledge with us. In my career, I have trained many individuals, not only to drive trucks, but how to load and unload trailers ( pneumatics) etc. You are providing valuable information for those of us who are interested in hauling RV's. I'm not retired, wouldn't know what to do with myself if I wasn't working, have had a job of one sort or another since 1961. Wish I could break the habit (not going to happen) so I will continue to do something that constitutes "work" to keep me happy. Thank you 😊.

Do a video on why you won't pull a 5th wheel 🤔

Is there the potential of making more hard cash with the proper authorities viable ?

The small screws are there to stop high speed shimmy, not hold the rotors on. There's a reason Asian engineers put them there and it's for handling and stability. Put the screws back in with a little antisieze and cover the heads with a little barely there silicone smear to stop rust. And don't use a #3 Philips because it's a #2 slot. Using a #3 strips on the head doesn't have enough metal to metal contact inside the screw itself. You can tell by looking at the slot that it isn't as wide as a #3 but people keep using a #3 because they think bigger is better.

Great info, Thanks

Any tips on preparing for paying taxes?

I like how you're right to the point

Was this video shot in Feb2021? And is it always slow after 7/4th?
