    new toys for the garage.... cars or anything

    @Kernsy Love those RVs! You've probably got the most exciting paint job that I've seen. Did you build it? We've been to Airventure at Oshkosh two years in a row now so we've seen lots of different ones and what some are capable of. Amazing aircraft. Our 19yo daughter is on her way to becoming a...

    Aftermarket speakers and control?

    I've had Polk speakers in the cockpit and on the swim deck for years along with a 5 channel Polk amp. The 5th channel is for the sub in a ported box. I have a 2 channel amp for the swim deck speakers. Two years ago one of the swim deck speakers started to give out so it was time to replace. I...

    Show me your camper!

    I would say that around 6k pounds and max of 30' in length would be manageable. However, i wouldn't tow a 30 footer with a LC unless you are very familiar with the how your vehicle handles a camper. It's very different compared to the boat. You're not gonna notice the weight anymore then the...

    Show us your tow rigs!

    The easiest way to tell if you have the max tow is that you have the trailer reversing steering knob thing on the dash. If you don't have the package, like us, the Expedition has a 6k pound max tow rating. With max tow I think is 9600. We have a very loaded Limited and I think the only thing it...

    Show us your tow rigs!

    Nice! Did you go with the max tow package? We have a '19 Expedition and we did not since we have a HD Ram diesel that is built for towing heavy. The Exp handles the boat beautifully though. My only complaint is the small fuel tank.

    Show us what you see!!!

    We were there for the whole week! First time! It was an awesome experience. Definitely going back. We took our camper and stayed off grounds at a RV park with hookups. We were next to Lake Winnebago.

    Tow Vehicle Tires

    I need to buy stock in tires! In the past month we have replaced 2 tires on my wife's 2019 Expedition, the Yokohama's were wearing out way too fast and were warrantied, we switched to Michelins. Even with just the 2 new ones on the rear I can tell a huge difference in the ride. On the same day I...

    Gulf Shores

    @WhiskyDan We'll be literally in your neck of the woods tomorrow with our camper. We're in Door Co. now and getting ready to go to a fish boil for dinner. We're really enjoying the area and the beautiful weather. We're moving to a campground on Lake Winnebago tomorrow to spend a week since...

    Show us your tow rigs!

    That's definitely a good size trailer. Why do you tow so fast? Aren't those standard trailer tires? Most of them are only rated for 65mph. If one of those would have blown going 80 it could have been bad. If 2 had blown at the same time you could have kissed the trailer goodbye. I know you have...

    Gulf Shores

    @midwest22 Are y'all camping at Gulf State Park? If you are then you'll want to take bikes to explore the park and take to the beach. Beach access for park guests is right across the main road from the park entrance. There's a bike parking area to lock your bikes up to go to the beach on the...

    What did you do to your boat today?

    Cranked up the tunes while enjoying a cold one in my boat garage/mancave. Gonna hook up the battery charger and hope to take her out at some point this weekend.

    MFI Trailer Work

    @scokill are you required in Dallas County to get it inspected to get it registered? It's below a certain weight capacity where I don't need to have it inspected in Kaufman County. I do have to get my camper inspected though.

    Advice please...

    All you really have to do is let the boat dry out. Let it sit for a week is usually enough in our climate. We used to be on an infested lake regularly, Texoma, and if we were going to a different lake that isn't then we'd be sure to be out of Texoma waters for at least 2 weeks. Now we don't have...

    Need to replace trailer plug

    Update: I threw in the towel and took it to a trailer shop this week. I got so aggravated I just said to h*!! with it! Took it in one afternoon after work and picked it up the next day. I was connecting everything correctly, but there was a bare wire within the trailer that they found that was...

    Need to replace trailer plug

    I'm considering doing the same thing so I can bypass the adapter. I'm too damn tired to mess with it tonight. I'm going start over on this project after a good night's sleep and breakfast in the morning. I'll let y'all know what I end up doing or figuring out. Thanks gents.

    Need to replace trailer plug

    Oh yes I still do. I've traced them and tried to duplicate it with the new plug and that's when I lost all lights.

    Need to replace trailer plug

    It's lasted for 16 years and it has finally developed a short. I ordered new 5 flat pigtail off of Amazon for $11 since no store had it in stock. I have cut off the old one and started to match up the colors. Well gents, our original 5 flat plug has six wires. There 2 brown wires on the trailer...

    Just another thread for a MR1 slow oil leak

    Mine have leaked for years and it's never been a concern. It's an excuse to keep the engine bay clean and wiped out. I always check the oil anyway so it's no big deal since I'm in there.

    Post up your funny MEMES (Nothing Political Please)

    @zipper I used to have the very first one that you posted. A retired State Farm agent that was a neighbor of ours growing up gave it to me. We always talked about traveling, especially since he had a Holiday Rambler motor home that I thought was so cool.
