I would stay in 20 foot range with a Ranger. RV's are many things to different people on how they camp. I like to use mine as a weekend get away and for long road trips. Bigger is not always better. I spent three years researching our next camper, we were up grading from a pop-up. We wanted...
I have a Jayco 145RB I took it from Maryland to Yellowstone September 2020. Its not had it axel flipped and off road tires put on but going into the Shoshone National Forest Lily Lake it went fine just was aware of the drain. There are a lot of off road type campers a lot are being set up with...
Power boost seems neat but having a stand alone inverter generator is my choice for the cost if I wanted a Hybrid I would have gotten a Prius. I like the idea its just not for me and the way I camp and work.
WpgLariat,
This is brand new from Jayco. It is supposed to be boondock ready. Josh From Haylett RV on YouTube did the a video on the prototype 166FBS I think the other models are still getting the final touch before the data is released but I think you can base of the 166...
WpgLariat. I love camping I was thinking about the Scamp 19 myself. I love the idea of a fifth wheel
for a lot of the reasons you do. He is a few of my thoughts about a Scamp but first here's why I stopped looking at the other 2 from Escape and Winnebago. size and weight I don't want the tail...
I have a 2018 Jayco 145rb We live in Maryland. We have been to the Outer Banks in July and to Yellowstone In September, plus a lot of short weekend trips.
I got one night in Yellowstone at Grant Village the last day they were open and smaller is better. We did not make any reservations except...
Totes and containers have their place and are very useful I still prefer having a backpack with my stuff in it that way if you are having a significant emotional event say like" OH dear the truck is on Fire" you can reach in and grab this bag and your life will suck a lot less then if you have...
We test drove a 4x4 XLT and FX4 XLT the regular had a slightly smoother ride. However when I was crossing the Northern tip of the Big Horn Mountains on Highway 14A towing our Jayco 145rb in 9 inch's of snow we stopped to help some people that got suck about 500 yards on a trail I know buying...
GHB, BOB's all serve to prepare you for when you are having a SHTF or as I say When the Fecal matter hits the rotating cooling device kind of day. I have carried one since I started driving. I developed mine over the years I made one for my wife for here car I have made them for friends. You...
In the Baltimore area I've only seen a few SCREW's and one SCAB. The dealers seam to stock SCREW's the one SCAB was a bed delete, white, another dealer had only SCREW's, and a third had a XLT SCAB in blue the rest were...... you guessed it SCREW's
Ranger drawing kind of looks like Chevy invited Dodge over for Netflix and adult beverages and this was a result. The hood looks like Dodge and the wheel wells look like the flat top GM styling
Unless it is a catastrophic blow out I carry a plug kit and a decent 12volt compressor I can have my tire plugged before I can change it out. I take my spare down once a year a check it and the winch to make sure everything is ok. I borrowed a vehicle one time that wasn't up to par and had to...
I think Ford is trying to sell the Ranger as a first time buyer's fun truck to haul your toys. I believe that they are guarding their F150 sales very carefully
Nope very limited use item. Its ok on straight line pulls getting through a mud hole. If you are sliding into trees or rocks then you need to pull yourself away from that obstacle. The ropes have to be anchored straight ahead from each wheel you don't get a lot of defection and they are only...
Does any one know when Ford is going to update the Price and Build configurator on their website. I might have missed this if it has been posted. Thanks
Nice review I am really glad you posted it. I have a Jayco 145rb but after I get my new Ranger I want to get a travel trailer right about this size. I felt that a 17-19 camper would be the sweet spot for the Ranger your review kind of confirmed it. How was down hill holding or did you need to...
I was curious what a Leantu Camper was, I looked it up they are neat but my butt isn't climbing up a ladder and then down in the middle of the night to go find a tree. We got a Jayco 145rb this year for 10K vs 7K for a tent on a box. Not sure what kinda wheeling you plan on doing there's a good...
