You are correct, you have completely high jacked this thread. It doesn't matter, I have learned what I need to know. Thanks for the replies.
Easy there, fella. You're still kind of new here. You'll almost always find the answers to your questions here, but there is also a certain amount of "conversation" that goes along with the technical Q&A.
The toy hauler community has an unearned reputation as being hell raisers. When we see a corporate figurehead like Ryan Andersen behaving so irresponsibly and vandalizing public lands (something that WE are frequently accused of), it's no surprise that members will speak out against the guy.
Personally, I support boycotting his products if he is that far out of step with his customer base and the natural resources that we all hope to enjoy, just like the boycotts we saw against Camelbak products when the company made major donations to the Sierra Club and spoke out publicly against the OHV community. I agree with anyone who votes with their dollars.
I can't speak for a lot of toy hauler owners but many recreate with OHV's and we depend on the continued access to our public lands for recreation. Some of us have been and/or are very involved in OHV rights and anything that desecrates our outdoors and reflects badly on the OHV community (right or wrong) is detrimental to our efforts.
Also not unusual for a thread to turn sideways. If this forum does not meet your needs, have a nice day.
