Re: FLAT TOW VS. DOLLY
You can tow the 2010 - just follow the emergency tow procedures - see http://www.remcoindustries.com/Towing/Store.php I bought a tow dolly last year - used it about 6 times. It does work but no fun to hook up when it is raining or in the middle of the summer. I found out I could tow my 2006 Honda Civic 4 down - got it setup last month. Made one quick trip - I think I am car tow heaven. Will be selling my tow dolly(listing in local classifieds) soon. Guess my point is - once you tow 4 down, you won't go back.448Views0likes0CommentsRe: First "real" Tow Dolly haul.
I bought the 80" Master Tow with Surge Brakes - bought locally at about 1600. I since ordered the ramp extenders. Ended up using 2x6s(soon will be 2x8/10s) instead. Lighter. I don't own a vehicle that I could tow 4 down so my choice was easy. If/when I replace one of my vehicles, I will at least explore all of the towable options.279Views0likes0CommentsRe: First "real" Tow Dolly haul.
Thanks for all of the replies. Yes. I did use the tow haul except the first 5 minutes:). It does help a lot. Especially the down shifting. Problem with the higher rpms is the noise. Granddaughter thought it was about to blow up. :). No backing up is in my plans. I have the surge brakes and I suspect that won't end well if they were to engage while moving backwards. Bought to head back home. Breaking out my ear buds and will let'er rip.280Views0likes0CommentsFirst "real" Tow Dolly haul.
Made my first haul today...140+ miles. Surprisingly impressed. Hated the first 5 minutes...loved the remaining 3 hrs. Seemed to pull real heavy at first. My v10 shifting isn't the greatest - holds gears way too long. Ended up babying it and solved that issue. Stopped 5 minutes in to check straps. Tight as can be. Stopped again at the 40 mile mark...took a couple of clicks on each side. After that no more needed. Towed my 2012 Acura TSX. The motorhome seemed to ride better pulling than my other trips down the 2 lane highways. I could run as fast as I wanted but stayed under 65 pretty much the whole trip. Driving back home tomorrow. Gonna take the interstate back. I just prefer it over the two lane roads. Thought I would share for those that may be interested.2.5KViews0likes9CommentsRe: DISH Pay as you GO
Maybe I missed something but the last time I looked at Dishes low-end package, it seemed to have nothing comparable to Direct. I was hoping someone would chime in that actually has that kind of package that would say if they had the some of the basic type channels.278Views0likes0CommentsRe: DISH Pay as you GO
What kind of packages can you get on the low end and still have the more common channels like CNN, TBS, USA TNT, FX, etc...Just curious...the one thing that see with Dish of Direct is that I believe HD is available through the mentioned receiver and dish(carry-all). Might be worth it if you don't have to give an arm and a leg.278Views0likes0CommentsRe: Joined tonight - how do I get discount tomorrow?
You should be able to go print out your temporary membership card - that is what I did for a following week trip. Same number as the permanent card. Go to -> https://www.goodsamclub.com/mystuff/MembershipDetailsstart.aspx?page=account and look to the right under My GoodSam Account. You should see it there.0Views0likes0Comments
