Re: Your Rig
Here's my little 32ft Rage'N XL3205. This was the first weekend of Aug at Vail Lake in Temecula Ca. My boy and his friend are in the back of Bart (Big Ass Red Truck) and that's Bath (Big Ass Toy Hualer) in the background. While I'll be the first to admit it ain't the biggest looking at some of the rides posted here, It's still a handful for me, and the biggest I've ever owned.404Views0likes0CommentsRe: WW Repairs
O.K. so I just bought my Rage'n Xtra-Lite 3205 in February. I was sure it was the best of the best and I am still convinced it is. I did invest in an extended warranty, whew!!!, and don't expect any issues. However, should I need parts, what to do? I called Rage'n and was told yes the doors are closed, bummer... But there is another separate company, Weekend Warrior Gear http://weekendwarriorgear.com/wewatoyhapa.html , and parts can be purchased here. This company is disconnected from the parent, and as such is not seized with the other assets!!! Yipeee!!!! So, if you need parts, you can get them. My guess is that warranty work, other than those specified in the lawsuit, will be a thing of the past. I'm wondering how the extended warranties will be used if the company is no longer in business? Guess I'll have to ask my lawyer. Dan ...378Views0likes0CommentsRe: Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer. The Real Deal

I talked with GMC, the local guru on towing, and anybody else that's had an opinion on this and my goal became to stay under 10K. Not only for the license, but the truck actually performs well stock. I am adding a tranny cooler, K&N filter and Magna Flow exhaust. I expect to pick up another 30hp and 11 ft-lbs of torque. As everyone told me I wouldn't win any races, and I have more than enough truck, but I can pull Cajon Pass in So Cal at 55 mph (the speed limit) with no less than 35 mph at the steepest grade near the top at 2500 rpm. I could most certainly run it to the floor and maintain 55 bottom to top, but what's the point. I'm getting 8 mpg with trailer and about 12-13 mpg without. I'm sure there's a few here with opinions that have loads of experience, so please jump in! I'm glad I found this place because all of my homework was by myself, and so far I think I did it right.
