Working under toy hauler, getting through plastic
Hello,
I have picked up a used Wanderer toy hauler. I want to put in additional tie down points and E track. The underside of the toy hauler is enclosed with plastic with insulation under that. Do I just cut a slit in the stuff and tape it up to get under it? I started to pull the staples from under the siding to see if I could completely drop the plastic down, but the stuff is wrapped up under the exterior walls. Is there some kind of tape that works well with this stuff (duct tape???) Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
RE: What kind of truck
Yes, I'm sure it's a 5.9 (says so right on the side :), 260hp.
I'm sure the newer gas engines run better, my dad has the new Hemi in his ram. Nce engine, but you still need to rev it to make it work.
The truck is only going to be used for towing.

RE: What kind of truck
Great posts so far!! I went out and put a scale under the pin of the toy hauler. It weighs 660 pounds with water and no toys in the back. As far as towing it with a 1/2 ton, my current truck has the 5.9 gas engine and I was not happy going 30 miles an hour at 5000rpms up the grades (only used the truck to pick it home from buying it)Most of my towing will be going up pretty good grades, so a Diesel looks like it would provide more "relaxed" towing. I can do my own oil changes, so thats not a big issue. Looks like if I move my budget up to 22 to 24K I can get a much newer truck.

What kind of truck
I just picked up a used 21' Wonderer Toy Hauler. I have a 1997 1500 Dodge, it is just to old and to small to pull this and all the other stuff/people we have. I needed a newer truck anyway, so here I am. I haven't scaled the toy hauler, but I'm going to guess its about 6500# loaded with water/ no toys. I want to spend about 20k on a used Diesel truck, thinking 2500 Ram or one of the last years of the 7.3 Ford. Couple of my buddies like the 2500 Chevies with the Alison Trans and 6.6. I want a automatic transmission, and 4 doors. So, what truck is best, most reliable, and is a 2500 enough. I'm hauling 2-3 dirt bikes to weekend races in Northern Ca. Any thought would be great!!
