Nice. We camped 12 yrs in a fiver RV. Miss it…the camping stuff. Been curious of these top cab mounted sleepers. I’d have to go at it alone, but wife prob say no. Besides, has knees replacement and can’t climb ladders. But to put it bluntly, she could sleep on the ground. LoL.

What are those tower things in background?

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Could you offer the scan gauge you using, make n model?

The low viscosity bothers me. I did Blackstone report on mine too, and report low viscosity as well. Our Escape report had low viscosity as well. Gotta be that 5W-30 oil values.

I haulEd dirt and river rocks. Not lots squat. Driving on interstate approx 50 mph had wallows. I had wished added more air pressure to tires. Completed the haul ok.

Have a Maverick. Stuck with it. Yet no complaints so far.

My belief…unlike nitrogen, compressed air oxidizing agent. And rubber has some permeability, will see leakages over time. Compressed air will react with rubber compounds, essentially causing some measure of sealing. Nitrogen, being stable gas, will not reacts with compounds, hence any...

Made 2 big hauls few months ago. 2 truck loads of organic dirt. Then truck load of river rocks. Ricks load estimated to be 1,500#. My tail gate n bed spray lined, but to ensure a clean bed, laid down tarp over the bed before front end loader dumped the stuff. Makes it easier to clean the bed...
