WOW! My comment seems so trivial now. We had really planned our trip open ended with a goal of 7 hours of driving a day (i.e. 7 hours * 60 MPH average===~420 miles per day). It wasn't a time thing on my part, I'm generally happy to show people my vehicle and/or my tear drop, same as I...

hmmmmmm......... thanks for this. Saw Sundance exit signs, but we were trying to make some time and did not choose to go thru there. In hindsight and with your comments, fearful I made a mistake there that I will not have the opportunity to remedy. :(

I think that tops anything here or in the forum archives!

6 state trip/site availability/strange on-lookers Just completed a 2600 mile, 6 state trip. Highlights include seeing Mount Rushmore/president heads, driving thru Sturgis (nope, not going on right now, I just drove thru), saw Devil's Tower, and multiple national parks. Expanded out a little...

I've got extremely mixed feelings here. There are none of your comments that I would disagree with. And i'm very happy to have and be able to used the park and forest services provided to us. But the whole wood thing is specifically like they are forcing us into a narrow path to purchase...

much fancier than my solution. I have one of those big rubber horse mats from Tractor Supply on the flatbed of my truck, and that horse mat does a pretty good job of protecting everything. Not as neat as this though.

Awesome to hear you (and others) are starting to get out. Planning my 1st big trip soon too. I think that all the corona's are dispersing. If I understood correctly, I believe last night on TV, Biden said that 200 million people had taken the vaccine. Overall, I think we are seeing the...

Not for specific places, but more for timing. Either way, lot of beautiful places both in Texas and New Mexico. I've been to Big Bend twice, and both time, way to far past spring and into summer. Depending on how any typical year plays out in Texas, we can have 6 months + of triple digit...

Sorry about that. :(

well.......yea............for a lot of questions, maybe so. But for this one in particular, not sure that anyone one here could really take care of you, other than Cary. Either way, good luck with your repairs and upgrades.

That's my neck of the woods, at least the New Mexico and the Texas part. Any specific plans for those area's yet ?

The only correct answer here it to talk to Cary.

@Sweeney - I'm a big hydrogen fuel fan myself. And it kills me inside at how much further the asian countries are so much farther ahead of us in their hydrogen infrastructure. Its not that I'm against battery/electric vehicles, but IMHO the tech just isn't there yet. I know it works and...

this comment is both from searching the forum archives and observing the actions of others plus their recommendations, and my own personal experiences. I'm in the deep south (not east coast), and its triple digit temperatures 6 months out of the year. I don't have an AC in my Camp-Inn, and AC...

I would second Lipster's comments, tear drops, by their very nature are very light. If you're truly experiencing shock from towing, I would definitely share your setup, along with several high quality pictures posted here. This is only me putting myself in your shoes, but I'd look at...

[SUMMARY POST] Thanks again everyone for the comments in my thread. Had a chance to go out this weekend and test everything. Not that there are any surprises, but the new extension cable worked great. And also a reminder to anyone else doing this or something similar, I replaced my OEM 2...

thank you to everyone for your comments and inputs. From the (2) suggested above, I ordered the Carrofix brand one. It was $3.00 USD more, but advertised waterproof construction. I'll try to do a summary once the cable has arrived and I've got a few miles of usage on it.

Thank you for this, rather have something just a little bit shorter, but I'm going to let this thread stew for a couple more days, and also (hopeful) that Cary will chime in. If nothing else pops up, chances are strong I will run with one of these (2) you've found, and probably just zip-tie the...

@ Henry, Thank you for the post. I'd like to think I did a thorough Internet search, but we all have off days, and I am no exception. I did come across a few of those coiled cables in my search, like you shared in your picture, and they seemed like a good idea to me. I'd also be curious to...

no, I haven't but good catch. OTOH, that thread I referenced is 9 years old, so I'm not holding my breath in hopes that there are still some laying around. But I suspect Cary will see this and pipe in if there are some available. Thanks for looking !
