Re: Help moving camper thru mud
Success yesterday! Hooked 2WD truck to camper and then hooked tractor to front of truck. No plywood. Came right out. Thanks to jkwilson who first suggested tractor. 2WD truck was used because 4WD wasn't available that day. I think some of the other suggestions would also have worked. Many thanks for all the suggestions. I certainly learned a lot.707Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help moving camper thru mud
This is a fairly isolated hunting camp. The last time we had a truck stuck (a few miles away) we got some loggers to pull it out. The tractor was wedged against a tree and he used his winch. All accompanied by whoops and hollers. He did this expertly in spite of being drunk!382Views0likes0CommentsHelp moving camper thru mud
Here is my 24 ft camper https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cvcccg3aq4804id/AAA3SY9V7NJONwJuOqQXhD8ca?dl=0 I hope the picture works. I need to move this camper to a new location and could use some advice. I have never towed it before. It probably weighs around 4800 lbs. The Sequoia tow vehicle is a 4WD.I only need to move it about 75 yards to dry land where a 2WD truck will take over. We have had constant rain here in Georgia and the 50 or so yards in front of the camper is muddy and slick. The wheels of the camper are not down in the mud. The camper is on a very slight incline with the back about 18 - 24 inches lower than the front. It is about a two hour drive to the camper. I will wait until there has been no rain for about one week before trying to move the camper. My plan is to chock all 4 wheels, jack the trailer up and hook up the Sequoia. Then remove chocks from all except the two back wheels. Put the Sequoia in low range 4WD. I have two traction boards (and a shovel) and will use them if wheels slip a lot. Sequoia tires will have 30 lbs and I can reduce that if necessary as I have a compressor. If the 4WD can't find traction, I may try locking the center differential. A 2WD truck used a few days ago promptly got stuck well before reaching the camper. The Sequoia pulled him out using 4WD High range. Forgive the length of this but I am in uncharted territory. Suggestions will be much appreciated.5.2KViews0likes45Comments
