Adrian: That sounds like the perfect setup for you. Congrats, and enjoy it! (I'd be interested in knowing how they plan to add the parking brake.)

2100: I quit trying awhile ago, and I agree: One username or ban.
I'm beginning to wonder if he registered under a third with the "What year, engine, etc. is this?" thread. Is someone really considering buying (sorry, "bartering for") a truck sight unseen from one pic and no description?

..

Cheers Bear,

Shipping things over to the UK isn't that bad but I'm lazy and just paying someone else to sort it for me the same as I did with the truck... lol
I might as well let someone who does them all the while do it so it's done properly 1st time

Thanks Ohio,

It should work nicely for us, Not 100% sure how they will add the parking brake but they also import 5th wheels etc to the UK so have had a lot of practice in getting them legal for over here.

This is from their website

HANDBRAKE INSTALLATION
Handbrake installation on all 5th wheels and travel trailers with our specially designed replacement hubs inc. all the necessary parts to make your unit legal in the UK.

And this is their transformer they fit so everything still works as it should

CONSTANT RUN TRANSFORMER
These transformers have been specifically designed for converting UK 240v electric to 120v for American RVs and fifth wheels.
Our transformers are specifically designed for us to the exact performance and needs of an American RV, for example, running air conditioning for long periods of time.

Alright.... this is too damn much. I wanted to think 10thgen wasn't Skylar, but just way too much in common.

AK and I talked about this and thought maybe we were wrong about him. But this is too much. I'm done. This is also the guy taking about replacing his IAC, and cleaning his EGR. You can't come clean and own up to running as 3 usernames, then go pound sand.

I was convinced from the start... I'm getting more and more cynical as I get older LOL.

Also this is how he calculated his poor gas mileage. Adrian must see his BS on Facebook too.

And now we wait for a new user to join who has a poor running truck...

Think it was on FB that the topic came up. But AK and I thought maybe we'd give him the benefit of the doubt because he said it was not him. But yeah, shoulda gone with my original gut instinct.

That was proven here as well, different thread, but you were involved. He so much as admitted to it. It was the show them off thread if memory serves. Use to be a sticky.
