    Don't think i've seen a truck in the wilds with the rear wheels so spread. Helped adjust them once on a truck caught in the parking lot, but don't think I've noticed any driving like that.

    To many, but never done
    It's a spread axle trailer, it helps keep your load weight spread more evenly through the whole rig.
    Axles can't be moved but my 5th wheel can move about a foot back and forth.
    This helps get the weight off your steer tires.
    The trailer is a bitch to make tight turns with because the 2 axles fight each other.
    1 moves forward the other backwards as you turn. Only when tight turns happen though.

    Morning Connecticut :hattip:
    Snow last night :( which means salt on the roads :annoyed:
    Trying to avoid going anywhere since having all that work done on the truck . Avoiding salt . It’s just so clean right now . Dentist appointment late this morning though.

    Damn that is clean, I wish you luck in keeping it that way! Too bad the dentist can't make house calls haha.

    The salt has brutalized my truck this year, I did not do enough to prepare for winter and it seems like I'm caught driving at the worst times.

    Looking for info

    What's a good cleaner to remove the green mold looking stuff that is on the lower edge of my rubber trim around the windows.

    Truck is white and this green stuff isn't pleasing to look at. Especially the rear glass and side windows. Front windshield seems ok.

    What have you tried if this is happening on your truck?

    Thanks

    Never had this happen but Meguiars's Marine and RV rubber cleaner is good stuff. Better than the usual parts store stuff. YMMV.

    The belt moldings on my truck were pretty bad so I went and replaced them with new OEM parts.

    Might initially try a dilute baking soda solution. If no go then a more aggressive/expensive fix.
