The old mechanical cameras have self timers, so self portraits are possible with a tripod. I suppose I could do a selfie (hand held) if I adjusted the exposure to use an aperture of f16 or f22 to give me enough DOF to account for the inability to manually focus when held at arms length.

Film, B&W photo of my Ram 3500 and GD camper. Taken with my 1979 Nikon FM fully mechanical film camera. I developed the film myself and scanned the negative. Analog rules.

We purchased a new Grand Designs 295RL 5th Wheel. It has a fixed pinbox with no warranted replacement other than a Gen Y gooseneck. We have a BW Companion hitch set at its lowest setting. The camper rides well above the rails ~7.5" but I can't lower at the hitch or pin-box. It is sitting...

Finally got to tow the camper for a few hundred miles this week up to Smith Mountain Lake VA and back. About 400 miles round-trip. The mileage was kind of disappointing. I averaged 10.5 mpg. My Ram 1500 averaged 10 mpg pulling the same trailer. Back when I towed a similar TT with my 2005...

I just purchased a new 2.5" shank for my existing hitch. The 2.5" shank was $200, far less than an entire new hitch.

Do you know if the wiring is already in-place? I haven't ordered my Bakflip cover yet but it would be nice to have lights under there when I do.

I think you're looking for a different forum ?

I'm curious what is supposed to fit in the circled hole. I'm also wondering what the rectangular plastic cover pointed to by the arrow is for since that hole simply appears uncovered on the other side.

Welcome to the forum. Your 2500 Tradesman will have no problem with that travel trailer.

That looks surprisingly good for a non-custom cover. Thanks for the images. Your images show more detail than the website.

I've been trying to find the load chart for the stock Nexen HTX tires, but the tables only show total load capacity at a given speed rather than load capacity by inflation pressure. Unless I just don't know how to read them...

Well if it's the same design those forums offer advice on how to self repair. Basically, you just need a new gasket and lots of Black Silicone.

Do you have a picture you can post?

Howdy neighbor. That's a nice looking truck, and nice looking family. I'm sure the kiddos will appreciate the upgrade.

Hey neighbor. Any opinions on good stations to buy diesel nearby?
