📣MOST 1/2 ton trucks can not safely tow a 5th wheel 📣 Know your tow vehicle limits! DO NOT rely on the dealer/salesperson - shockingly, some will say anything just to "get the sale".<br>Great video guys, thanks. Ohhh, and I'm guessing you're headed for the mother land (Indiana) ::wink:: 😉

Please, I beg you, get a 1/2 inch torque wrench. Torque the bolts for the jacks and tires. One youtuber lost a 5th wheel, wheel, because he used an impact tool, which over tightened the bolts. The bolts sheered off not far down then road.<br>My wife and I really enjoy your videos! Before we could remember your channel one of us would say, "I wonder if the beauty and the hillbilly have a new video? 🙂<br>Great video, we have been full-time for almost two years but pretty much did all of those mistakes.

Get a heavy duty truck jack! Rotating those tires using the jack you used is very dangerous! Especially when you are posting about “what NOT to do”! We Love you guys and just want to keep you safe. ❤

I would also love a tour of Craig’s tool setup. He has everything anyone would need. Even duct tape and electrical. I literally take notes of what he uses. 😮it’s the truth.

Please make a video with “Craig must have tools.” You channel finally help me convince my husband to consider full time RV living. What tools should a newbie… start off with in their rig.
@lancewulfers2502 · 2 years ago
Never tighten bolts with an impact on high. You can easily over torque a bolt. it's fine to use to spin it on. But final tightness should be with a human driven wrench or torque wrench.

Any kind of maintenance or repairs whether it’s auto or home, flip flops and sandals are a big no no. Unless you want at the least black toenails for life! All you need is to drop one heavy tool. I’ve done that wearing sneakers lol
