Any Mountaineer 347THT Owners?
Picking my 2010 up soon. Plan on putting the Road King in the garage. I am wondering what others who have this model are doing to haul their bikes. Main questions are: How did you outfit it with...

Just got back from our cross country adventure picking up the trailer in North Carolina. Dealers, what can one say? We had a pretty good experience but they still managed to not have the right capture plate for the Superglide despite my calls, emails, and providing them with the correct part number for the Fifth Airborne pinbox allowing us two additional days time and expense to discover the greater Greensboro, NC area. They did give us a generous gift card for their camp store to help offset their error.
Haven't tried loading the bike yet and still have a lot of manual reading to do over the next couple weeks. My wife still thinks it's a bit huge but really loves the room and spaciousness. Likes running the slides out with the remote. Go figure? You never know what going to float a person's boat.
It "seems" to me the hitch weight is causing truck to ride a bit on the high side for the front end. It doesn't effect the truck handling but it looks quite sloped in the center and we get folks flashing us at night even though our high beams are off. Does this seem like a job for truck bed airbags? I'm don't really want the tail end of the trailer hanging much lower and I seem to be at the lowest setting on the pinbox. The truck is a 2011 F250 4x4 with the 6.5 foot bed and the tongue weight is well within spec. Perhaps it's the 4x4 suspension? The Superglide worked marvelously and allowed all sorts of flexibility in getting around fuel stations and other tight spots. I have a Transfer Flow 50 gallon change out tank on order to add some distance between fill-ups as well. Soon, we'll be looking to get that Condor chock installed.
I remembered someone writing about the garage not being heated? Our unit seems to be plumbed for both heat and AC.
Here's a question. Where do you put the recliners when the bike is in the garage?
It's a happy day having it home after all this time!
