    Best Tow Dolly Tires

    Never used a Dolly, but have 3 utility trailers, 2 wheel and 4. All have 15" wheels and 225/75R10 ply tires! Linda uses same on her 3 open trailers, but went with 16" on the box trailer's!
  2. 5 + months since he was on! Don't think you'll get a answer...
  3. My friends on Island just moved into my house yesterday, I'm 23 foot above normal tide, their yards are flooded and sewage system is backed up! Most of the west end of Galveston is on pier and beam, garage under living quarters...my 4 car garage is enclosed and living area is 13 feet above garage! I'm in a 3 house cull de sac, in Spanish Grant Sub Division 3926 Dos Dr, Galveston, Texas 77552...normally I would not do this, but it's For Sale, I have moved to Burnet, TX. Only things I have now in Galveston is clothing...house will be listed with Island furniture...Rattan don't go well in cow country! Wayne, are you in the Moses lake area? Like Herman said. On too many occasions, over the past 180 years or so, we have learned to take care of our own and not depend on DC or others! The only thing we don't need in South East Texas right now, is tourists! By Christmas, we will be back to normal....
  4. How's your other issues doing? Get everything else fixed?
  5. As Ian and Herman said. I'm a little confused about the flags. Do you have a Swede and Dane aboard that is not American? Welcome to the Forum!
  6. Wayne. Hate to be the one who gives "bad news". Any place within 20 miles or so of Dickinson is a lake. My best friend on Island took his fifthwheel to a RV Park in League City, between I-45 and Hwy. 3, it's completely under water. Very Sorry! They estimate that I can return to the Island and my home, in about a month! Glad I have friends, who are keeping an eye on my house...I'll be in Burnet today. Need anything, send a PM and I'll help!
  7. Newmar is at Nappanee, IN. We where half way between there and Bremen, IN. for DRVC pre FMCA Rally in July...lots of shops in area that will address any issues you may have. They are all good !
  8. Teri. Welcome to the Forum! I'm confused with the 10 day thing? Also, it's only if your going to board the animal in a different state, that the Vet needs current records for the year. That also applies in Canada and most countries...biggest deal is rabies and flu!

    Also, do you pack or carry extra stuff in your toad?

    What is the weight of the vehicle your towing?
  11. Bill A. There was a little company in Santa Monica, CA. that I worked for part time in my Senior year in High School, they made circuit boards. Name was Radar Relay. While there, they was going public and any worker could buy in lot's, counting the Secretary there was 7 of us. I was 16 at the time and my father would not allow me to invest, it was pre public, 1,500 shares at $4,000. They went Public under the name off Teledyne and split 2 for 1, 29 times in the first 18 months...the Secretary had bought 4,500 shares and 3 years later was CEO of both Teledyne and Rockedyn! Because of that, I bought 5,000 shares off Wall Mart 23 years ago and the same for Facebook and Alibaba when they went public. Don't have Wall Mart anymore. No, I have no CW stock and don't want any!
  12. I forgot what brand coach you have. On mine, the second inside step has 2 screws holding top in place, remove that and you will find an inline fuse to step. You might also have a stab in fuse, where all other 12Volt fuses are at.

    Inverter

    If no shore power, turn off when in storage. I have 50A in storage barn now, I leave inverter on and should the main or sub source of electric go out, my generator will come on automatically after 10 seconds and turn off when electric comes back on. By Christmas we will have 2 back up, propane generators to run house and outside in case of elect power lose. Brett snuck in...good ? My water pump has always been 12Volt.
  14. My Hummingbird brain, tells me that Marcus has no wish to acquire FMCA! Why would he? Not because of Insurance or roadside assist, etc. there are a lot of FMCA members who already pay for that via GS! Most of us, me included are life members of GS. ML today, is indirectly worth about 2.5 Billion. CW went public, but the majority of that stock is owned by a holding company, that is owned by Marcus L. My personal feelings for ML as a business man, is that he's very good at what he does....I just don't like the way he does it. He's taken a lot of small businesses and group them together under his umbrella company, by helping them from bankruptcy, he takes 50.1% because he has the cash flow. The original owners, have in affect lost their business forever.
  15. So much for FamCamps, Linda and I both carry at all times, one reason we have not been back to Canada of late. Linda is working on that, as we want to go back to Alaska....she has a Federal carry permit (another life). Do appreciate the heads up!
  16. I had the invisa brake before on a Jeep and the problem is that if you use the jeep for off road and I do...it gets wet and it does not work anymore, it does not like to get bounced around and it don't work anymore! I think that most brake systems work well, it just depends on the vehicle you wish to tow 4 down. Off road is a different animal, than a Honda CRV or a Caddy. Bill E. I had a 10,000 pound Blue Ox, as Herman can attest to, and when I sold the Silverado, I went back to Roadmaster...I was not found of the BO! Will not make that mistake again.
  17. Linda told me, hers also would all off a sudden come on...found a crack in the door, Duck tape fixed it...Dyson fixed it better!
  18. I have no problem understanding, why some OTR drivers can't stand us, coach or trailer! Most owner/driver of a RV don't have a clue and should not be trusted with anything bigger than a Civic! Even that is debatable!
  19. Got tired of messing with mine, so I got a Dyson Stick on sale at Low's. Linda got one for her coach also, then the house and my Dyson Ball now lives in the shop! Both our (she has a 40 foot Phaeton, DP 350 Cat) central vac systems are in the other shop!
  20. Since I also run with gen on, I turn my AH off, get plenty of hot water from engine. I turn mine to diesel for showers, electric for dishes. Only had the AH on one time for furnace while driving, got caught in Ice and Snow in Utah, 3 years ago! 54,300+/- pounds + toad, 45 foot American Coach. 6.2-6.4 avg. mpg.
  21. F94273S. Welcome to FMCA and the Forum! If you have your fathers cast plate, just paint a small S and use them!
  22. Wayne. Probably Snail speed & it's amazing how many people there are that don't know, or have that sixth sense of how wide their car is...now their in a RV! Good luck! BillE. If your hauling the long trailer...you can have some fun!
  23. Herman. That's a real good thought.. Here I thought you said your brain was a little simple!
  24. Common sense and courtesy, got replaced by "me first"! Time to add bleach to the gene pool and get rid off "Stupid"!
  25. Tom. Coming to your ex Gander will be trailers and coaches for sale...think CW. Ugh!
