Another good word for Pleasureland in St. Cloud, Minn. We bought our unit about 18 months ago from Vinnie, also, and got what we think was a very good price. We just had the rig, a Crossroads Patriot...

Years ago in one of our closets in our house, we installed cedar lining -- tongue-and-groove cedar about 1/4 inch thick that we nailed up.

We're thinking about something similar in our 2011 325CK...

This seems like a grand device. But I can find no stores in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota that carry them. Seems kind of pointless to pay $5 for the device and then anywhere from $5 to $7 more to...

Well, the responses have pretty much persuaded me to buy the portable surge protector and to get a lockbox for it. Thank you all for your responses.

I'm getting the idea from the posts here that the portable surge protectors aren't high-theft items, though there seems to be an impression that they are. Am I wrong?

Yup. That's the knife storage. When we got our rig a little over a year ago, that nifty little storage feature prompted us to go out and buy an honest-to-goodness set of decent knives.

I don't think you should tow a heavy trailer in anything more than 5th gear. I think 6th is kind of an overdrive -- better mileage, not as much power.

We always put our Ram in tow/haul mode, then...

It's unlikely to have one built in. You can buy a non-adjustable one for anywhere from $10 to $20 at Camping World or any RV dealer, though. It'll keep the pressure around 50 psi. I don't know that...
