Stopped at Cabelas for some Elk jerky, what are the other must haves for a trip from Idaho to Nashville? 30 hours on the road without FTE, what am I going to do!

13160# GCVRW.

Guns, ammo, camping gear, extra fuel, oil, coolant, washer fluid, basic repair parts, cooler full of drinks, tools, toiletries/clothing, spare tire for trailer, dash cam, what am I missing?

Hi Bobbie, wet here in NY. How are things with you and yours?

Safe trip Tim. Do you have a "weight distributing hitch" ? Can't see in the pic. It's said they do help a lot. Looks like the rig is setting pretty good though.

Hiya folks, been around on the ford forums for a while but never bothered to really look at the state chapters and actually talk with folks. How's everyone doing?

I dont I had a reese straight line, but the V-nose's tongue is too short for the chain brackets. She squatted about 2" in the rear. I am 2600#'s below maximum GCVWR and 1500#'s below maximum tow rating so I am not too worried. Also have a Tekonsha brake controller.
