dunefreak Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I just thought it would be a good idea to start a list of things to start thinking about getting ready for dune season. Ya know, the things that oftens get overlooked like changing the genny oil, checking to see you are due for a chain/ sprocket set, etc. I'll start. Try and copy/ paste the list and keep it going if possible. :dumbass: -check trailer tires for separation/ proper air pressure -generator oil/ filter/ maintenance -current OHV stickers on all toys -whips/flags that are in decent shape -air filters on anything & everything with a motor -new gloves? ditch those old holey ones -check batteries on bikes and trailer that have been sitting -check flashlights for fresh batteries -propane levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxysandchick Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 On our to-do list - replace all of the gas lines/hoses before the season - replace the valves on the black/gray tanks and a cracked water line - reseal the roof after we fix the front cap - sanitize all the water lines and tanks One thing our neighbor showed us last year was the water heater anode rod, keeps the tank from rotting from the inside out. Camping World carries the replacements and a cleaning accessory to get all the gunk out of the water heater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iweb Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Get rid of milk goats so we are not tied down to the farm, go to Utah and get the toyhauler, service the Rhino and ready to go. For sale: goats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Agent Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Everything, all rolling stock is serviced and ready to roll to the dunes. Tire and rim conditions are the BFD this year. Trading in the RV for a new one. Need more room. So getting the new one dialed in and duneworthy will be the big project over the next 10 weeks. Our 9 year old is insisting on moving up to a Raptor 250 so the first and second trip will be a "learn-to-shift" little dunes trip.

EY3BA11 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Chains and Sprockets!! A easy to overlook item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtruckdrmr Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Don't forget to bring a tow strap, saves us everytime! Ohh and jumper cables are always a good thing leaving the radio and lights on in the truck tends to drain all the power. Might not happen often but when it does its a good thing to have!
