Get a small mutt from the shelter and teach it to be alert when you are and to sleep when you do. We had a pomeranian in the truck for one trip and returned it to the owner at first opportunity; too hyper and constantly interupted our sleep, day or night. Our mutt from an Alaskan pound was our...

mvbn1: Several years ago, all comm'l vehicles had to scale in KY. The vans had bingo cards back then with a KY sticker. When KY joined IFTA, the bingo cards disappeared and the scaling in KY became a matter of concern to the vanners. I went into a scale house in Elizabethtown, talked with...

JBird: Your post piqued my interest, so I looked up the A/B CDL quals in the KY manual. The criteria , which should be the same for all states, is paraphrased as follows: Class A CDL states, in part; vehicle(s) being towed in excess of 10,000 pounds. Class B CDL states, in part; towing a...

The hinges on the rear-side door of the GMC/Chev have the interface (or the finger joints) of the two hinge sides facing forward. This configuration allows wind-driven moisture to enter the inside of the hinge barrel and rusts the hinge-pin. After a couple hundred thousand miles the rusted...

Once: The $1200 espar is heat only; they have a heat/air model for considerably more $$. Don't quote me but I think fuel, gas or diesel is about a quart for the evening. It is piped to your fuel tank by the installers. I don't specifically seal them. They are separated from my sleeper area...
