Re: San Francisco RV Resort....Well Not Really

I was sent an email from Encore Resorts which owns the park. This email included a survey. Instead of filling out the survey which was cleverly worded and constructed to avoid any real criticism. I sent a note and a copy of my review here and on Google reviews to them. I of course expect nothing to come of this. But perhaps someone will read it and correct the desk procedures. Good for you! A little communication and effort on their part would have gone a long ways.495Views0likes0CommentsRe: HEY we need a sticky for our TT pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was wondering if there's a good TT rooftop rack for a couple yaks. One that doesn't require a bunch of mounts that have to be drilled into the rooftop to mount it.507Views0likes0CommentsRe: New TV coming home next week !!!

Why not with the low oil cost. It will make the project that much cheaper to build.291Views0likes0CommentsRe: New TV coming home next week !!!

That's why I'm going with a diesel truck so I have the capacity for the welder fuel tank and tools to run over the hills with ease. Is that a diesel or gas welder? The 302's are some smooth running machines! Especially with the xx18's. If they start hiring again will you send me a message. Thx!

I'd love it if we built some pipelines for natural gas and oil. From Alaska to Canada and Canada to US. I Don't see what all the drama is to build it? It needs to happen eventually if we're going to get away from desert oil. Those guys are going to be outta oil in 10-15 years anyways. Why wait till the last min? At least build the infrastructure and turn on the switch when it's needed. Don't get me going.....I could go on and on. Back to the forum. Lol. When they do build more pipelines. If a guy was smart and lived outta his RV and saved up his money. They could be semi retired in a few years.291Views0likes0CommentsRe: New TV coming home next week !!!

I almost bought a megacab from Gauthier in Wpg last fall, tons of room! Looks like they prepped it for oilfield work as it looks like the box is lined. I am heading to Sasktoon Monday, could have given you a ride half way :) Only got 2500 kms on mine thus far, so it will be good to put 1400 kms on the clock! Enjoy the ride home! Great truck Mud Chucker! It's always great to go to a 3500 from a 3/4 ton. You mentioned the oil fields thecdnmole. Are things busy up there still? I'm a welder / weld inspector and would love to work in CA before I retire. Hope the truck is perfect for you MudChucker.291Views0likes0CommentsRe: Just ordered a Blackstone Chianti. 280RDSB

This rating is the maximum permissible weight of the truck and trailer combination as it goes down the road. Using just the published curb weight of the truck and the dry weight of the trailer, your combination already exceeds the 14,000lbs limit by 95 lbs. Your truck will definitely weight more than that published curb weight, especially once loaded up for a trip. The trailer also will weigh significantly more than the published dry weight with the options that you've added. You're talking about being at least 1,500 lbs over your combination weight once loaded up for a trip. That's really over for a light duty truck. I wouldn't pull that trailer with the truck. Even if it was for very occasional trips. That comes from someone who's not part of the weight police group that's common on this forum. I normally keep my nose out of other peoples combos and weight. I'm the type of person that's ok with pushing the limits, even exceeding them every once in a while. But it's looking like you'll be well beyond the limits constantly. It's to the point of being unsafe and there's a very real concern that you might actually damage the truck with this combo. Also, don't fall into the money pit thinking that a few bolt-ons here and a few upgrades there will get you by because it won't. That's something that's more effective when you're within your limits. Leveling systems, hitches, suspension upgrades, etc won't increase your tow capacity. The strain on the cooling system, transmission, engine, drive shaft, diff, and axles still exist. When it comes to towing limits it is what it is. Unless the stickers in your door jamb give more ideal numbers, I would look for a more capable truck for the time being if you still want to get use out of the trailer. A cash beater could do the trick. You only have to drive it for 6 months or so. Thanks Proximo!413Views0likes0Comments
