RE: Just curious
Parents in their 90's, 2 daughters with their respective families, 3 vehicles, a boat, and a TT. What is spare time?

RE: When impatience hurts!
Anyone that thinks the big rig driver should have done something needs to reconsider.
Do you want a 80K pound load running across the median and killing himself and oncoming innocents?
The truck driver was correct in maintaining his lane or it would have been much worse.

RE: So tell me about your perfect couples travel trailer
We have just done the same thing. From a Ram diesel dually and a giant 5th wheel we went down to a 2010 3500 Chevy Express 15 passenger van and a 2015 Puma 30RKSS. The van was necessary to haul all of the "stuff" that fit in the underbelly of the 5er but not in the TT. We removed some of the seats and may remove one more row.
The 6.0 Vortec engine does just fine pulling the 8800 pound GVWR TT.
I did find a low mileage Ram 1500 with the diesel but found that the specs were too light for towing our TT.
Storage will be an issue so a truck cap will be needed if you go with a pick up. The fridge will be smaller and you can forget that big closet in the nose of the 5er.
We found several "almost" trailers in our search in your price range so they are out there.
Good luck with all of it

Wait to buy the stock would be my recommendation.

RE: AC tripping generator
Kudos to the OP for doing all they could to solve a problem rather than the norm on the interwebs of just throwing out a vague request for help.

RE: Considering a fifth wheel
There are some awful nice TTs out there. That could be your answer.

RE: Manifold Replacements
"the grease pit side of things" is what fixes things. The engineering side of things is what caused the issue to begin with.

RE: Nascar Follies
There is not an EV that can go 400-500 miles on a charge. Current pit stop 11-13 seconds, EV pit stops will give viewers time for a short nap.
However, they will figure it out or lose their money pit.

RE: Tires again.
$223 each at a Discount Tire here locally. By the time you add labor, insurance, valve stems, etc that $1200 isn't out of line. It is Cali after all.

RE: Nascar Follies
I cringed when I saw how Larson's car folded. I do like the suspense of the big tracks watching the the lines dance back and forth due to one car's move.

RE: Twisted Receiver Square
Check the option list for that truck. They may have missed checking that box when they ordered it and had one installed by a bonehead.
