Returning from Disney World's Fort Wilderness Campground to Cleveland Ohio yesterday. 2,500 miles roundtrip and the truck towed great! Very happy with the performance of the truck. Had plenty of power and had no problem maintaining 65 mph on the uphill grades.
It was great pulling away from everyone at the toll booths in WV! Ecoboost is AWESOME!!

Sitting here on break and just seen a raptor screw with at least 2 people in it towing a 30ft tt. Wish I could have gotten a picture. The rear end was sagging like a sob and I didn't notice a wdh. Aren't raptors only rated at 1000# payload? I'm no expert on towing but I think he was a little overloaded. Also had out of province plates so he's been towing it far. If I see it again ill snap a few pics.

Is there any sort of outdoor pressure tank for campers out there? This is my third location, where I will be for a month, water pressure sucks here and at one of my other spots and the first time I didn't even use water. It works good for a while then drips to almost nothing. It's looking like a trend that pressure sucks in campgrounds. Do most people just fill their tanks and use their pump or is there some sort of outdoor pressure tank a guy could use to solve this issue? I've never used the tank and pump yet so I don't know how well it works but being in it for a month I would like good strong consistent pressure for showering. I was trying to save wear and tear on my pump but maybe I'll try it out tomorrow if that's what everyone else does. Just looking for advice from the experts, I hate to hijack this thread and get the whiners started up again but you guys answer fast and I appreciate it. Lots to learn about these things, so far I'm having a blast except for forgetting some essential items and having no water pressure! Oh, and tons of skeeters but tiki torches with bite fighter seem to work good.

The best thing to do would be to fill the water tank, hook the hose up for park water and turn on the water pump. If there is enough water pressure from the park, you will just be using that and the pump shouldnt kick on. If the park pressure drops, then the pump will kick on and you will still have water. You wont wear out the water pump. Those things can run for years with no issues, and they are cheep when they finally do break down after 20 years.

Does anyone know of any good rv forum with a mobile app or site? I use my phone almost exclusively and while its possible using regular Web Browser forums takes longer to navigate and is annoying. I have more questions but don't want to keep hijacking this thread since some people get all bent out of shape when they don't see a camper picture for a few posts.
