Thanks Carl, and back at you. 
Nothing like old soldiers and sailors getting together to tell tall tales. I'm sure Roy will chime in soon.

Howdy Carl and Shawn.....
We are in the Monster on the shore of a reservoir near Augusta Montana. Chilly and rainy. Limited access.
We could have fun with some sea stories. .....I look forward to us sitting around a camp fire.

Indeed, we could. We are in our toyhauler in a campground near Milton Ontario. It is clear and cook here. Tomorrow will be warm and sunny. Then the rains come fore the next three days.

Howdy guys! !
1st Tow with Jolly Green! !
Yippee! !!!
We are sitting in a nice comfortable 5th wheel. .....Furnace brought the temperature up to 70°. Outside temp 52°F. It has been raining all morning.
First thing I noticed was the easy and very smooth start and acceleration! !
Much better than the 2011 F350 SRW I had. 65 mph on a short run of interstate and then 65 on 2 lane roads. Up and down and windy roads.
Truck drove like nothing was being towed. The exhaust brake is much better than what the earlier years had.
The airbags are great. Started with 50 psi and then went to 60 psi. The truck was level and rode on rough roads very nice. The last 4 miles was up a steep muddy / rocky trail that flattened out to a muddy trail. What a mess.
It has stopped raining. Hope it is sunny tomorrow. We are on the shore of a reservoir outside of Augusta Montana.
Pictures when I get home Monday Evening.

today was the 19th straight day of rain.. supposed to get another 3inches overnight.. thunderstorms right now again..
but I did get to test the generator (converted to propane) thru the new wiring and transfer switch! with everything (both A/C's) powered up , all worked as expected.. I didn't test the transfer back to shore power, as there is a 4 inch puddle around the wall of the shop where the outlet is..
hm.. I could have turned off the breaker instead of unplugging.. things you think of later!
but now I can work on the install part.
good luck on the no rain for the rest of the weekend

Mine, on normal roads, if there is such a thing, works best between 30-35...on really bad interstates, I have put 45 in them to stop the porpoising. We have to remember, his is a toyhauler with a little heavier pin weight without a toy in the back. I've seen some around here that run 75 pounds in their triple axle haulers.

With my old camper I had to run 80 psi to be level with this 350. Didn't even have bags in the 450, wasn't needed. With my new camper 30 for the trick. 3500 pound pin weight down to 2000...

Hi guys.......
Last truck scale showed 4,400 lbs pin weight.
Gerry, yep this is a Theresa hualer.....
I noticed this morning that the pressure was 35 psi without the trailer weight.
