Any have this 2011 F150 Ecoboost and 23 Corner International

Hey Everyone,

I am looking to see if anyone has the same Set Up that I will be "working" with when I pick up our Airstream next week.

I am not looking at suggestions or opinions or this v. that. I know that a LOT of members are pulling with the F150 Ecoboost and I was looking to get some experienced info from these folks.

We are picking up our 2012 23' Corner Bedroom International. Went with the Corner Bedroom to ease up on the Tongue Weight and I purchased the EcoBoost a couple years ago knowing that we were going to be getting our Airstream later. Got the SuperCrew and 3.55 axle knowing that I would not be going over a 6000lb loaded Trailer weight and wanted the fuel economy as its my daily driver. We are pretty light, its just me the boss and a Black Dog. With our max tongue weight at say 720 (this is the max of the Airstream specs) and I don't think we will max it out most of the time, we still have 400-500lbs of Payload to spare in the Ecoboost. I did add the Blue Ox hitch weight in also. Anyone pulling this set up? What is your performance looking like?

Cheers!




Speedbleeders size for 2005 landyacht

samedi 27 septembre 2014

Hi all,

Just bled and flushed the brakes, stopped waaay better now . Recently read a thread for brakes, and speedbleeders came up. Awesome idea to make the job easier, does anyone know what size is correct for 2005 landyacht gas.

Thanks

Generator Storage/ Transport Options

We've been transporting our generator in the bed of the truck but would really like to secure it to our Flying Cloud 27FB. My research has come up with almost no options for mounting the generator on the AS. I recently watched the video on how to install the Fiamma Carry-Bike bike rack to the rear of the AS. In the video it said the rack has a 77 lbs capacity. My 2000 watt generator weighs less than 50 lbs. I can visualize a solution where a platform is secured to the bike wheel channels on the rack and the generator bolted to the platform. The weight would be within the rack capacity. I'm looking for feedback on this idea or a better solution if one is out there.

New to Forums and looking for our 1st Airstreams and advice in South Florida

We're ready to buy our first AS and wanted to get some advise in getting started.

We've been to a couple of dealers but wanted to see if going more vintage/used and renovating was a more cost effective way to go. The potential pitfalls going this route daunting and looking around renovation specialists and used options in the South Florida area seem limited.

Any recommended AS finders/renovators? Pros and cons of going new or not used beyond upfront costs.



Appreciate any advise so we can see start out AS adventure.

Research

Thinking about a 30 ft serenity.



Would you recommend the coach floor plan or lazy boy chairs



Also what kind of vehicle would be required to tow



My wife and I are looking at this as an retirement option where we a explore for 6-8 months of the year the first 2-3 years into our retirement.



We've never rv camped..but we don't like to sit around and want to see all of canada and US.



How much in fuel cost would we look at to pull the model we are looking at.
