EY3BA11 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 it only took me 20 min to get used to petes truck and trailer Granted its only a 16' flatbed but it was new to me..

( his truck and trailer not towing.. I have been towing a trailer since i got my license.. ) That might be an excpetion though, Nick. I think anyone could tow w/ that truck w/ their eyes closed. :mc_smiley: That thing almost drives itself. Towing w/ an SUV is a lil more difficult at times. I know from towing w/ my Tahoe.

EY3BA11 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I know from towing a 16' flatbed w/ my moms GMC Jimmy loaded w/ 3k lbs of bottles.. its not tooo horribly bad.. just gotta figure out where the motor makes the most power and get used to the way it reacts w/ a trailer attached to it... its something that 30-45 min of freeway and 30 min in a big open parking lot practicing turning around a point and backing up... then all will be good.

rcjunky3 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 :mc_smiley: did he say backup, yeah right. be like my aunt who never backed up a suburban with a sea-do trailer my uncle said just do it and not only did she cave in 1 corner of the vehicle she caved in both corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 How big is the trailer... The further the distance from the hitch to the tires the EASIER it is to backup... HELL Even i have a hard time backing up a jetski trailer and i have been towing since i was 14.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjunky3 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 the one i am supposed to borrow is a just a regular 16ft car trailer. i know its easy to back up. i have been looking to buy a 16 footer myself but they usually are gone right away if its in decent shape and price. i would like to find the full width version but not alot of those around. its a real pain to always lift and spin my yfz around at the end of a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 your lady shouldnt have a problem towing a 16' flatbed... just tell her look... you have a extra 16' behind you remember that.. take the turns a LITTLE wider and dont turn so quick and be smooth on the throttle and brakes and leave yourself plenty of room... she will be fine.. hell thats what i learned with and i learned towing it with a 83 ranger..

dunefreak Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Ok, heres what I picked up today to add to the Carne Asada masacre on Saturday! I have... -1 large bag of shredded cheese -1 large tub of sour cream -16 oz guacamole -1 normal size bottle of red taco sauce -2 med sized bags of shredded lettuce -50 burritos size tortillas -some disposable tupperware tubs for meat, cheese, etc -48 plastic spoons and forks It's hard to judge how many people are gonna be grubbin, so lets just plan on alot. If anyone thinks we need more of what I bought, please feel free to add to it. We could probably use: -some more shredded cheese, maybe just another big bag -more taco/ hot sauce -more shredded lettuce if anyone thinks 2 isn't enough -some paper plates (I have a bunch but am not sure if it is quite enough) -any more burrito ingredients such as refried beans, salsa, green sauce, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don29palms Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I'm bringing a big ole cake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 So can anyone help out and bring some of that stuff I posted up 2 posts ago? Also, if anyone can bring out some tables and 1 or 2 EZUP's that would help out a bunch. I figure we can put the grills and tables w/ food in the center of camp under some EZ ups, otherwise we can use my (or somebody's) awning. I have a table and so does Steveo. We could probably use another 1 or 2 though. ANYONE??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I might be able to score a table from the office if i promise to bring it back... ohh wait the boss isnt coming back till monday.. WOOHOO!!! i should be able to bring one a 6 footer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
