RE: Gordons Well Checks

To pull two trailers, all you need is a current medical certificate, commercial truck license that allows towing two trailers, the proper brakes on all trailers, and a truck heavy duty enough to tow it all.
Well that wasn't a problem for our guy as he is a commercial trucker.
I was wondering about our friends from AZ as I have seen several towing doubles to the dunes in the past. I would think if it is legal to tow in AZ on class C licence, then there would be some reciprocity.

RE: It happened to me too Carlisle tires

A site 4x4groupbuy.com has Denmans available in all sizes for what look like great prices. I think I'm ordering 5.
Watch out, the Denman's are now made in China. I found this out when I needed tires a few months ago, my tire guy called Deman to order some and was told they were switching to a supplier in China and the first shipment hadn't arrived yet. I went with Maxxis E rated.

Gordons Well Checks

This past weekend at Gordon's the LEO's were checking DL's for proper class. One of the guys in our group had his has checked because he was towing double. He said a rig from AZ was turned back because of doubles. Any one have a problem with this coming in. There was a large present of LEO's, saw a lot of people stopped this past weekend.

RE: WW radio not working

Also, If I remember correctly their might be an in-line fuse in the space the radio is installed. You will need to take the four screws holding the panel in that cupboard to get to it. I replaced the stock radio and cleaned up the birds nest WW left in their. Have fun
Griz
Griz is right on, the radio has an line fuse just as if it was installed in car. The access is above the radio inside of the cabinet. Along with the power amp if installed, was an option those years. I found a lost screwdriver in there as a bonus.

RE: frame issue

Didn't post model/make but if it's a Weekend Warrior they did have problems with thin metal tongues and frames on certain years. See the sticky on top of forum for the WW.

RE: WW FS2500 Tire Suggestion

Although I don't have an FS, I do have an LE and I replaced the WW supplied tires with Maxxis 225/75/15R E's. So far they have been excellent, they have been on around 6 months now. The rims are stock steel chrome WW rims and have not had problem with running 80 PSI in them. Make sure you use steel valve stems too. One other route is to replace the 15" rims with 16's and get a better choice of tires.

RE: Question on outside speakers?

Do I have to modify the existing holes?
-----------------------------------------------
We give up,....do you ??:E
But IMO, outside speakers should be outlawed !
I know, you didn't ask for my opinion,....sorry:E
But IMO, Blue Hairs should be outlawed in the TH forum !
I know, you didn't ask for my opinion,....sorry:R
Be sure to check the space behind the speaker to allow room for a larger magnet too.

RE: Forest River Toyhaulers

And speaking of WEEKEND WARRIOR, I talked to the parts guy today to purchase something I needed and he told me that they are real close to starting their production line again. Which is good news for all the Warrior guys who have been out of work. Let's hope they make it. Well, that's not quite true, WW is dead and gone (everything was auctioned off). A new company, Warrior Lifestyles has risen from the ashes of WW but is not producing a full line of trailers yet. They have started serviceing/repairing WW trailers though. I did see the new trailers that they are going to build but right now the they are going to produce only bumper pulls with a very small line up to choose from.

RE: Fuel

I have been wondering about this too, as I have seen stickers for LSD on pumps.
I did some searching and found this from Fueleconomy.gov/Feg/lowsulfurdiesel
"Most diesel pumps in the U.S., and all in California, currently dispense ULSD. However, since retailers can still sell regular LSD until 2010, new diesel owners should be careful when purchasing fuel.
"Pumps dispensing ULSD must be labeled as such (except in California)."
So I would say most have already made the change, since it wouldn't be economical for the refiners to produce 2 types of diesel with 2010 just around the corner. Probably just old stickers that weren't removed.

RE: Satellite Setup for Weekend Warrior

Hey River&Sand,
Instead of a tripod, this setup is very lowprofile and easy to build/setup. Wind doesn't effect it...
Regards, Hamshog
This is what I bought Clicky looks pretty close.
We had a great weekend camping and we even had satellite TV.

RE: Hello,I have a truck Camper but new to 5th Wheel experience.

We did the same as some above, had a TC went to a 5th, have a Reese SS 18K hitch for the 5th wheel, removed it to load the TC, worked great. Sold the TC a couple of years ago, now wish we hadn't, would be great for quick getaways.

RE: Satellite Setup for Weekend Warrior

Got all the wiring done, got a dish and will get the Sat box today. I decided to go with a portable dish and mount it on tripod to start with and later maybe get a roof mounted one. Will hook it all up this weekend while camping and hopfully have Sat TV watch the NASCAR race on.
