my very own hell
believe it or not........ it's legalcookoo

Hmm, any details on the regulations concerning those? I'd imagine the larger trailer must have brakes, what about the total GCVWof the train? I may have a 5th wheel deliver run down south soon, along with a motorcycle delivery across the border, and I'd love to combine the two which would require me pulling a small enclosed trailer behind the 5er... My setup won't look as nice as Darrin's tho, that's one sweet truck he has :D ;Sweet

Darrin...that is hands down THE SWEETEST rig that I personally have seen ...only thing better would have been beside you rollin'

Your time in labor and fab work

Kind a have a soft spot for them bricks

gonna poke around your webshots pics .........

Thanks Geo! I appreciate the comments ;Sweet Wish you could have cruised with all of us.

darrin, how big is that camper of yours?

It is a 26 footer with one slide. Not too big, not too small,..Just Right!

Two trailers? And the state boys didn't bother ya?

Nope, and I saw plenty of them,..Before the trip I made sure that they were legal in all of the states that I was planning to travel. They are not legal in all states.

anyone have dyno sheets/numbers yet?

Yup, I do,.. Will post them soon,..

So just exactly how soon can we expect to see some numbers;Poke

I am really sorry I couldn't make it this year as I had been planning on being there for months. Still stuck in Modesto, Ca for a couple more weeks before I can go back home.:idiot:

Thanks for the rally update and I'm glad to see you had a safe trip.

We pulled in at about 8pm. We'd have been home earlier but we stopped in Noblesville to catch the new transformers flick at the IMAX. Very cool.

Kitty and I made it home just after 6, this evening. We stopped in Chillicothe, OH for the night and to pick something up from a friend of mine. We would have gone farther, but she said that she was fine till we stopped... :dunno

We drove the final 377 miles today...

Thanks to Heath and Missy, for hosting a GREAT rally!

I also want to thank everyone, that attended and made this rally truly spectacular!

Not home yet, my steering box it toast, even with the"TOO FAR" adjustment, I still have 90 degs. of slop. With tight spots at both ends. SO it's been slow going. I've stopped for the night at Sutton WV at the KOA/Days inn combo. Should be home Weds, afternoon

:backoff Wait a minute there Gary, don't blame me for us stopping for the night, your the one that stopped in the first place because you were playing "lead dog" :rotflmao:rotflmao:rotflmao:rotflmao:rotflmao

I want to thank Heath & Missy for all their hard work making this rally take place, and to everyone else for making it such a wonderful gathering for all involved.

I guess my trailer didn't want to be left out of the "problems list", I had a tongue repair made to it earlier this year, and it has reared it's ugly head again on this trip, so I'm researching another repair or shopping for a Sunline 5th wheel that I've drooled over for 4 years. OH, lord this is gonna get expensive :eek:

I'll try to get caught up enuff to get my pictures posted.

Kitty
