RE: Quartzsite yard sales/Flea Markets
Howdy!
There is a place in town that has a tent set up that sells thing on consignment. You might want to check them out. Drop it off set a price and let them do the work. It was located on Kuehun st. on the south side just east of 95 or Johnson ave. Its my understanding the city of Q charges a fee for vendors. That is why a lot of the Mom $ Pop small street vendors have gone way, and they do enforce it even on the BLM land.

RE: ERS while double towing
Howdy!
I tow my 5er and have a Idaho tote attached to it that I carry a Yamaha Rhino on. Last year we had a break down on the tote in the Canadian Yukon. On cel service had to have it towed GS ERS refused to pay for the first tow stating lt had not been authorized. They then refused the next tow stating they would not cover a utility trailer. It's not a trailer its attached to the frame. It ended up costing me a $2000 towing bill. I droped GS ERS and now have CoachNet. They did state they will tow anything including my tote.

RE: I watched some idiot dump his trailer off the hitch today.
Howdy!
If I were guessing I would think the truck and trailer does not belong to either of them, or the other would be "Drive it like you stole it!"

RE: How Many Miles On Goodyear Maratthons
Howdy!
I've never been able to wear a set out without them being replaced by Goodyear and/or reaching the five year recommended replacement. Goodyear has paid for and replaced the last two sets for G614's.

RE: Ever Been Asked to Leave?
Howdy!
WNY_PAT, it was Lunenburg, VA. The sad part is we checked and could not fine any RV / Campgrounds within miles. When I asked the County Manager if there was a place near by if we wanted to return and do more research I was advised no there was not, not even a hotel / motel. She stated we should ask someone if we could stay on their personal property. So I Asked if we could stay at hers? She stated NO! What a shock.

RE: Exhaust Brakes
Howdy!
Wouldn't be without one now. Not only does it help with controlling the speed going down hills it save you brakes on daily driving. Just had the brakes checked on our MDT C5500 chev. and they advised at 80,000 plus miles that we still had 40 plus percent on the brake pads. We use the exhaust brake during normal driving also which saves on the brakes. Exhaust brake use is not recommended in wet are icy weather.

RE: Ever Been Asked to Leave?
Howdy!
We always ask for permission before staying. But we we're doing some genealogy research in a small town recently and were advised that we could stay in the court house parking lot, and that its been done before. We just needed to advise the police department dispatcher which were located in the same building. I personally spoke with a ranking officer (Major) of the police department who advised it would be fine to stay over night. Later that evening a polite officer knocked on the door and apologized stating that we would have to leave. The "County Manager" of the small town had seen us in the parking lot an called wanting us OUT!! Stating the Major did not have the authority to permit us to stay. We left and drove nearly 100 miles to another location to over night. I contacted the Major who apologized, and also the County Manager that conversation did not go well (long story).

RE: Metal or aluminum rims
Howdy!
When we purchased our 5er it came with steel wheels. All four developed pin hole leaks at the welds due to the high pressures required 110 psi. They were replaced with aluminum wheels.

We've been very pleased with our Carr-Lite 36XTRM5 and would buy another Carriage. Just wish Carriage would start making Toy Haulers again.
You might want to check out the carriage yahoo group for more info.

RE: Pulling Heavy Trailer with 3/4 Ton Trucks
Howdy!
Been there done that! We upgraded before going fulltime to at 36XTRM5 (14,000 to 16,000 #s) tried to tow it with my 1996 Dodge 2500 diesel. The truck could tow it but couldn't stop it! Most folks will tell you thats what trailer breaks are for, but that doesn't count for emergency and panic stops. We stepped up to a 2005 Chevy C5500 MDT. Its done everything we need the past three years fulltiming and it doesn't feel like the tails wagging the dog.

RE: Where is the best place to find used T-Trailers online?
Howdy!
Don't really know how good it is because I have not used it personally, but I look at crankyape.com and see some great deals on RV's and other things.
The web site is a repo site auctioning off items.
