It’s been towed away. I don’t know where it went to but it’s kinda ironic that the landfill is only a few miles away. It sat there for 2 days. I was thinks some ranch 5000”s along with some 19.5 tires along with a heavy duty sway bar and air bags would have solved the issue. Lol

It is easy to play smart when you can afford it.
I own rentals in low-income neighborhood and very often those people have to make choices when pressed "back to the wall".
They have no means to drive to Costco or Walmart, so they buy groceries and gasoline at local places, most of the time 30-60 % more expensive.
Booze is kind of tricky as I buy it in advance at Costco and big bottles come very cheap, while I observe that in poor neighborhood local gas station has long waiting lanes at night, with customer buying small bottles... for 4-6 times more what I am paying for the same stuff.
So owner of Ranger picking up TC for his guest quarters and not renting Superduty for the job is not big surprise to me.

Yeah, that Coachmen TC is in pretty rough shape. I see quite a bit of damage on it. Maybe it was on its “last ride” to the dump? The F150 prolly steered a little funny.

As for the F350 hauling the humongous Okanagan, I’m saying the extended trailer tongue caused that. I told you that wasn’t a good idea. 😛 <- See what I did there? LOL

:):)


Actually the extended trailer tongue would reduce the tendency to do that, extended hitches increase it.

This photo made the rounds a few times before, I’ve forgotten what happened but it isn’t from the camper and trailer, something else had to make the frame buckle in that direction.

I can only imagine his wife sending him saying "don't come back without a camper"

It would be fine if it was pink. 😉


But only if it was the 6.5' bed with E load tires. Just being pink doesn't fix everything! Lol

Too many geezers, self appointed moderators, experts, and disappearing posts for me. Enjoy. How many times can the same thing be rehashed over and over?
