Don’t Harvest Hosts often have grassy parking areas?
So far, they have run the full gamut, from dippy grassed lawn, that could have been trouble if wet, to flat concrete, in good condition.

Upgrade if you like. I would at least research it and get time estimates but I wouldn't let it interfere with the prime camping weather we're about to have.

It'll probably come with a yr. of roadside assistance and most ins. policies have towing, if not far from a road.

I think Snake is right and you have time to figure it out.
Its not fun getting stuck but it is part of the journey.

We got to the "RV Resort" after dark. All the water fun was already shut down. I had 2 pouting little granddaughters that had been waiting all school week to play.

Alas, those under blanket bundles of energy were soon to awaken to a gorgeous beach morning.

Just go have fun!
Says the guy with Starlink, 4WD, 8 cellphones and a life flight helicopter on standby 😂

Oh and 🥰😍

I will consider and likely take the advice here to heart.

In fact there’s a chance we’re going to load it up and drive it to Houston for my Mom’s birthday with kids driving their cars in a convoy. We’ll stay overnight in the RV together during the drive. So, all my careful camping in the driveway plans are being tossed to the wind immediately.

It’s going to be treated like the family rental right off the bat. 😂

Here we go

Those are beast Class C's

If I lived out west, and I desired to do some awesome desert mountain boondocking? That'd be the ticket for sure.

I haven't seen a version of camping yet that isn't more desirable than not camping. 😁

I'm camping during 95% of my posts. Lol

That’s my concern. My truck is no off road machine but it does have 4WD to get me out of a grass parking area after a rain shower.

I wonder how helpless the heavy class C will be in that situation. Duallies will help but 🤷🏻‍♂️

A set of recovery boards may be just the ticket for wet grass and a whole lot cheaper/easier than a LS. Plus then you can mount them on the side of your rig and everyone will know that you "adventure"

Absolutely! I can do a homemade rear lift with wooden blocks. Slap some recovery boards on the side. Add a couple of those cool metal gas cans on the back, be the darling of the campground on my nice level concrete pad with full hookups 🥳

7.3l questions:

Is there a forum like this for for the Godzilla (including E-series which have a different factory tune than the trucks)?

Is there an OBDII data point for EOP - engine oil pressure I can monitor with my OBDLink MX+?
