    Summer ready?

    :lmao:  I'm waiting till after Easter to even think about dragging the ol Ski Centurion out of it's hole and taking the cover off to see what kind of disaster is waiting for me under there... @nzulmer Nice Sunesta! I've got my future eyes on one of those or a pontoon with a proper size...

    I can't drive 55.

    Unless you head into a bunch of wind, you should def see a noticeable drop in fuel consumption. With our Winnie, if I set the cruise at 57-58mph, it puts the Cummins ISL right at 1500rpms where it seems pretty happy. Once I run it above that, it really seems to kick up it's drinking problem. She...

    RV (trailer) Rental in So Cal

    Anyone have any recommendations for travel trailer rental in so cal/san diego? Or have something you'd like to rent out? My wife and I may potentially do a summer trip up to Oregon to take my mom to visit family and having learned our lesson with our big diesel pusher on the 101 last year, I'm...

    Towing with class C motorhome

    We went from a 38' 5th wheel to a 35' Four Winds 34G super C on the 5500 Kodiak chassis with the Duramax. Power and brakes were amazing, ride and handling were awful. I pulled a 16' flatbed with a Jeep ZJ on it, scaled about 6500lbs so total combined was just shy of 26K lbs. Problem with most...

    Steerable triple 16. Front set way back and the spread on the drives. Impressive setup!

    How is your view from work today?

    Dual clutch trans out of this 2018 RS3 today for a trans fluid leak. It’s turnt to the moon on E85 and I already put a new engine in it 12k miles ago after #2 rod knocked holes in the block. Turns out the main input plate for the dual clutch finally got tired of the repeated super aggressive...

    Lifted jeeps in weekend warrior 5th wheel

    Sounds like you’ve got the frame part handled. As far as the rear jacks, are yours the scissor style or the single leg? The scissor style is what I had and they can deal with actually supporting the weight and still be able to be cranked back up after loading the Jeep in the trailer. I don’t...

    Anyone else Hot Rod their motorhome?

    Took a month but finally got the muffler. aFe MachForce XP. Nice unit that’s bigger diameter and much more heft than the Aero muffler. Sounds much different too. Haven’t taken it for a drive yet to know if the shriek is gone but much less “fart” type exhaust note and a whole lot more turbo...

    Stackers- Universal or Santek

    I don’t have any experience with stacker trailers but have towed numerous trailers for people over the years. This monster Santek gooseneck was by far the nicest towing trailer I’ve ever pulled. Even completely empty it was an absolute hoss but ran smooth and straight as could be up the 5 to...

    Buggy Hauler type trailers

    Doing research, still a ways off from upgrading but curious if folks have feedback or suggestions on brands that make 18' deck length 10k rated wide-deck buggy hauler type trailers. A couple that pop to mind right away are the MaxxD H5X Buggy Hauler and the PJ B5 Channel Buggy Hauler. Not...

    Tennis Elbow (Lateral epicondylitis)

    Being a mechanic for the last 20 years has taken it's toll and have been dealing with it in my right arm since latter part of last year. I wear the brace thingy and have tried to be mindful but it persists. Short of going to the doc, curious if any of you have had any luck with remedies or ways...

    Sierra snowmagedden over Christmas weekend at Mammoth and June Lake. The WK2 was a beast in the snow, no chains needed anywhere.

    Happy Birthday ElCaminoManT

    Thanks all! Wife and I spent the long weekend up at June Lake where we got a white Christmas and then some. Got snowed in! 395 was closed till Tuesday morning but we managed to somehow sneak out Monday morning in a blizzard. Jeep 4x4 FTW!

    Jeep pics

    GC’s first dirt last week up Silver Canyon outside of Bishop. Then out on Owens Lake. I had to keep reminding myself that it’s not Ol Flakey and I can’t just point it and shoot down whatever bushy trail like I’ve become so used to. The low front bumper is another thing. But, it’s not a trail rig...

    Anyone else Hot Rod their motorhome?

    Just finished an exhaust upgrade on Big Winnie. Going to Lone Pine for Thanksgiving so will see if it actually helps mileage and power as they claim. I figure even just removing that YUGE stock muffler will help save some weight. Since most of my camping is in campgrounds nowadays, I didn’t want...

    How many Members actually still go to Glamis?

    Yep, I've made many a life long friends that I can call 'family' from this place. Some are no longer with us and hit me the same as if they were actual blood family...

    Class A models

    @Punchdrunk Monkey If not a residential fridge, at least consider the 12v compressor RV fridge. I think it's kind of becoming the norm anyway. Buddy has one in his Grand Design Transend and it's impressive. Gets to temp super fast and even tho it is a single door size, it has basically the...

    Class A models

    @tjZ06is right about the slide setup. Our 40AD Winnie has opposing living slides and the bedroom slide is on the curb side. I tend to only extend the camp side slide on longer trips and/or when I'm in a campsite that has the room. Because it does not have a sofa or other seating (other than the...
