I do and yes but the sensors are not working right probably due to gunk on them. Clear soapy water (Dawn) filled in the tank for several days will help to dislodge the debris. In the black tank a good soapy run with slosh will help to get the gunk out that is stuck in the tank.

Didn't know about this the first time we took our TT out, but works amazing to keep things from messing up the sensors. Just sharing what works for me.

Hey, I'll bet this has been asked before, but is there any reason to engage the tow mode on the Ex if you are running on fairly flat terrain and the Ex doesn't do much gear hunting? It seems to me that mileage would suffer in tow mode since the truck would downshift instead of coasting on downhills.

No, the button is only a simple OD Off switch, the 4R100 doesn't have the fancy (and useful) Tow/Haul mode that the later transmissions have. Our trans was designed to tow in OD and that should be your towing default gear, only in the case of the trans hunting back and forth frequently between OD and 3rd gear should the OD Off button be necessary while towing. Another scenario where the OD Off button is helpful is while descending long or steep grades, turning OD off then will help to control your speed without needing to use the brakes as much, thus keeping them from getting overly hot and reducing effectiveness. I use my OD Off switch more for going down grades than going up them.

Leaving in two hours for a week long camp just outside Atlantic city. Getting away from the chores for my 60th birthday which is tomorrow. A.C. Boardwalk on Saturday. Wildwood beach and boards 2 days next week. 2 afternoons at the dog beach. The extended family is coming to the camp on Sunday for a Birthday Bash. God knows I hate birthday parties, especially mine. You just KNOW they are going to slam me with all of the Old joke presents this year, too.
Sigh..... At least I'll have a fire at night.
Gotta go finish packing the trailer and hooking up.

Stayed here.....

We have stayed here a few times in the past. I would call the campground itself mediocre, but.... location, location, location !!
Took a nice ride on the Conway Scenic Railroad.

Spent an afternoon kayaking down the NH portion of the Saco River.
