I love using my 8 quart crock pot on a Saturday morning to make Stew, Pot Roast, Pork Roast for pulled Pork BBQ sandwiches, Spaghetti Sauce from scratch using fresh tomatoes and herbs and ground Black Angus Sirloin and many more things for dinner that lasts for several days of dinners and has enough left over to freeze for a few weeks later without the prep work. Just finishing a bowl of Beef Stew I made for the Super Bowl so I could watch the game uninterrupted and now it is all gone. I used Tri-Tip Steaks that were reduced for quick sale to $4.00 per pound and after cooking it on low all day and adding the Red Spuds and baby carrots once the meat was hot it came out great and everyone loved it even after a 3rd night. Crock Pots rule if you know how to make big batches and aren't afraid to freeze some of the recipe so it doesn't spoil or folks get bored with leftovers. I have not figured out how to get a pair of big BREATS in it yet but working on that lol

You do exactly what I do!  People ask me why I make 2+ gallons of chilii; 15 pounds of lasagna at a time?  To which I reply:  Why do you just cook enough for one meal, when you can -with minimal additional effort- cook enough for 10+ meals?  The food's cheaper in bulk, & you're also saving on TIME.  I go one step farther, & sautee or caramelize a bag of onions at a time, portioning them into an ice cube tray, then pop them into a ziploc bag for later use.  Nice to have that on-hand to send that dish from nice to awesome.  Do that with meats, too.  Couple pounds of pulled chicken thighs, pork, ground beef.  Make a q;uick enchilada, or sloppy joe, chicken sammich, whatever.  Now that I have this instant pot, I can quickly cook from frozen.  Starting an indoor herb bench & worm farm to recycle my scrap veggies & feed the greens; that soft head of lettuce I forgot int he fridge is now some nice, fresh basil for that pizza I'ma slap out with a dough culture I procured from Italy.  Gonna have my own worm castings, for free...& fishing bait.  W00t.  Crumbled, portioned, frozen bacon, too.  Nice chili potato with some bacon crumbles, cheese, sour cream.  You can throw a lot of shit together quickly because it's already ready, or almost.  Can eat a great meal or snack for cheaper than some bland msg bomb burger that was constituted from bone scraps treated with lye & then centrifuged.  Time.  $.  Quality (just the way I like it).  Is the answer(s).
 

Dinner at Timmahs tonight??? 🤔

last two times I made chili was in a crock pot and left for 8+ hours on high .I am sure yours fine . like someone else suggested got to have corn bread . I also want want shredded cheddar [Mexican blend] a spoonful sour cream and spring onions on top . and one more thing to say chili is'nt  chili unless it has kidney beans .anything else is dip 
 
 
 

I want to live in Miami. This evening I have to try to get my recycling bin out of the snow and ice to the driveway or Im stuck with putting new recycling in the basement for another two weeks. Jesus how much wine do we drink?

Pulling and braking with the primary being braking...Look into brake assist for sure as it is one thing to pull it but stopping it coming down a grade could be very bad

One last thing . every truck can haul at his limit of weight even get a bit over .
The real safety issue here is BRAKING , always keep in mind that your trailer gonna push your truck like crazy in emergency braking.
Keep your distance and always be aware in avance.

Plus consider what sorts of areas of this great country you plan to visit are and where you are most likely to spend the majority of your traveling time. If you plan to spend most of your time along the Coasts for example that is pretty level traveling but if you want to spend time in the Forests and Mountains of this great land that means more need for pulling power and stopping ability. Unless you are going to do this year round and plan to haul that trailer off road I don't see any need or benefit in 4X4 if you get a truck with some sort of traction control system/locking differential. You don't have to spend top dollar to get what will make your trips epic but don't skimp on the towing power even if you have to by a truck with a slightly bigger engine and different transmission. If your rating is say 12.000 lbs try as best as you can to not haul more than say 10,500 because you have not counted everything no one does and it's better safe than sorry and a big part of that rating is getting it stopped in a straight line. Good luck, my battleax wont do anything but a hotel or maybe a Bus RV she would make me park in some parking lot that calls itself a campground 

I also have weight distribution bars and trailer hitch for them as well to take some of the weight off the truck. The hitch has to be set up for your truck so truck will be level and trailer runs level.

not sure if this was told but  trailer weight is one thing but you have to add the weight of all the stuff you had in .
propane tanks weight and also if your water tank if actually its filled with water.
electric brakes on trailers is mandatory and also make sure you have the trailer package option on your truck.
 

Me and the mrs Muir are think really hard about this first we needed fix and sell the house .I have a 2013 ford  f150 two wheel drive .We plan on buying trailer 25- 30 ft will my truck pull this? do I need to step up to F250 4 wheel drive ..Never pulled a trailer

One big item to consider is not only the  towing capacity, but the pay load capacity as well.  In 2020 I purchased a F250 super duty to pull our 30 foot 5th wheel.  When you figure the pin weight in the bed of the truck along with any cargo in the bed of your truck as well as cargo you add to the rv, it can really add up.   I was looking at getting a diesel, however it added $10k to the purchase price and they are heavier in weight (heavier the engine, less payload available).    Just check every aspect you can before you jump into a purchase... And be careful what an RV sales-person tells you , they are trying to make a sale.  You may want to look at some rv user groups on facebook they are a wealth of information.
