RE: rode a different ATV today
ive seen a few renegades in the dunes, they have a ton of power
a lot of side by side guys buy an outlander or renegade, take the electronics and motor out of it, sell the rest, and swap the 800 rotax for their stock motor....makes a huge difference
That seems like a pretty expensive and tedious route just to get a few more HP into a side-x-side duner. On the other hand you could get 2-3X the HP by doing a street bike conversion for a lot less $$.

RE: what other youth quads comparable to trx90?
I recently picked up a 2003 KFX80 (same as LT80) for my son and its a great little quad. I believe 2007 was the last year of the two stroke and that is what you should base your buying decision on. Don't worry about the red sticker.
Here's what I have done to ours and the thing rips pretty good in the dunes
- Shaved .030 off the head
- 13/26 gearing and chain (428 size)
- 18" glider paddles
- Front wheel spacers
- removed two rollers from clutch
- removed oil injection. 32:1 Torco GP-7 smokeless oil

RE: WW FK1900 - Can't find out what one of the switches does...
The lighted red switches are generally exterior lights. THey do that so you don't crawl into bed accidentally leaving an exterior light on only to find your batteries dead in the morning. My 04 FK1900 does not have exterior flood lights and as a result I only have three red lighted switches (front, porch, rear) instead of four. Since you have floods I would agree that is what the fourth switch is for. It should be an easy fix once you get the screws off. Yes the square heads are all over your trailer. Best to go pick up a couple of bits at your local HW store.

RE: Fuel stop planning
It never hurts to throw a 5gal can of diesel in the back of the truck until you get some miles on it towing and have a better feel of what kind of range you will have with the factory tank. Having that can in the back makes it a bit less stressful when you have to pass up a station or two and are at 1/4 tank or less.

RE: Oceano Dunes purchase moving forward
Unfortunately good news for us means we only get to keep what we already had. Basically nothing really changes... Really good news would be to get back some of that land we lost to the south back in the 80's.

RE: Meguiars RV Waxes/Polishes
Not sure why the RV wax/polish would be any different than the auto wax/ppolish since they're both doing the same thing. I use Meguiars Golc Class on trucks and RV. It's the easiest and best I've ever found.
the difference between rv/marine and auto wax/polish is night and day. A modern gel coat is about 25 mils thick and extremely hard, much harder than automotive paint (which usually has about 2 mils of clear coat). Cleaners and compounds designed for gel coat use are far too aggressive for use on automotive paint, and most all auto paint products just don't have the cut needed to really affect a positive change to these ultra hard, and ultra thick, gel coats.
Not all RV's use gelcoat (fiberglass) siding...

RE: CanAm Maintenance
Thats pretty lame you can't reset. If it truly is only a reminder for regular service that you could do yourself, it sounds like a sneaky way to put some dollars into the pockets of their service departments.

RE: Waxing
I have just purchased a new 5th wheel and they want to do a Platinum Shield Paint Protection. It protects against sun fading and is guaranteed against Fading or Oxidization.
Skip it. I have looked into these similar type offerings from auto dealerships and they are nothing more than a high quality wax that will be gone in a few months just like any other wax if not re-applied. It is an easy way for dealers to tack a few more hundered dollars onto a sale.

RE: Need help finding quad for my boy...
I would pick up a Raptor 250 or a Suzuki LTZ250 before considering a Honda TRX250. Both the Yamaha and Suzuki have undergone updates in recent years while the Honda continues to be the same old design that allows it to finish last in every 250cc sport shootout I have read.
THe thought of a sport quad might scare off some parents but also consider that any ATV can be rolled. A sport ATV is a lot less weight on top of you than a 4x4 utility quad. He'll have a lot more fun on one of these as well than a big boring 4x4.

RE: Fridge wont keep cool while on the road
I have two 6v batteries that are always at full charge so no low battery issues. I have also done routine maintenance on the burner and believe it is working properly. Like I said it cools down quick and has no problem holding temperature (even in hot weather) as long as I'm not moving. 90% of the time I am always on LP before I leave and the unit is fully cooled the night before I leave. I also agree with some other that it sounds like a circulation problem. I would think even if the flame went out going down the road that the temps shouldn't be rising as fast as they are if everything was sealed up. Its almost like the cold air is getting sucked out of the unit as I'm going down the road. I found another post about a guy who had a similar problem and it wasn't the door seal, but rather the seal on the backside of the unit. He ended up having to pull it out and use some refridgeration tape on the backside of the unit to seal it up and it seemed to fix the problem.

RE: Fridge wont keep cool while on the road
Its a Dometic (not sure what model) installed in a 2004 Weekend Warrior Superlite. I can run it on either LP or electric while parked and either mode works just fine. Fridge gets down to ~40*. Its not until I get going down the road for few hours on LP that temps rise (50-60*). I have no way of running it on electric while going down the road.

Fridge wont keep cool while on the road
My fridge does a great job of quickly getting cool when I turn it on while its sitting in front of my house. I can load it up with food and it will still hold temp just fine for as long as I have it parked. After taking off and arriving at my destination a few hours later my freezer will be thawed out and the fridge temp has climbed by about 15-20 degrees. In order to get it to cool back down it seems like I have to pull everything out and throw it in an icechest. By the next morning my fridge and freezer is working fine again and I can put everything back in for the rest of the trip and it stays cool. Its only while going down the road that I have problems. Is it common for RV type fridges to not work well while moving? Is it the rocking back and forth? Or possibly venting issues that are caused by the 60MPH winds blowing by the vents??? Looking for any suggestions to keep my fridge cool while underway

RE: lets talk grease!!!!!!
Dupont Dry Teflon in a can. http://www2.dupont.com/Consumer_Lubricants/en_US/products/dryfilm.html
Its about $5-6 a can at Lowe's. Also works great on motorcycle/ATV chains. Does not collect dirt/sand like wet lubes or waxes.

RE: Pismo
Good point. The last time I was down there in June. I watched a guy in a F350 pulling a 26-28ft hauler get stuck in a rut and he was determined he was going to get out on his own. He ended up blowing out his tranny right there. An expensive mistake...

RE: Pismo
I see so many people get stuck at Pismo because they dont take 2 min to get out of their truck and walk out and pick a good line into the dunes. THey think what looks smooth ends up being rutted out and then they have to get out of the gas and that is where the trouble begins.

RE: Help with black/grey tanks on Hobbi
When in doubt crawl up underneath the trailer and see which tank sits underneath the pooper... The black valve is usually larger than the gray for obvious reasons:)
