Dighton 02715 - just bored as you can tell from my last few posts

 

Owner wasn't around but cockpit looked legit

 

It sure does.

 

Morning everyone. How was everyone's weekend? What did you do this weekend?

 

I'm going to guess in the $4-5k range. Looks like they got the cab, door and bed all in one swipe. Can't see that being cheap to fix correctly.

 

In no particular order......mowed, laundry, cleaned, house shit, fished, truck (tweaked and washed), puttered (TW ), drank beer, ....

How was yours?

 

@DrFunker remember that puddle I was taking about? Haha whoops

 

Check the other end of that shillelagh, there may be a leprechaun attached to it.

 

7.5ft wide. I'd like the extra width next time I get a trailer though.

 

Morning all... 3 day week for me. Going to take thurs/fri to paint the SOS high clearance and attempt to legalize my evo (put the cat converter back in, fix some stuff and swap on the summer tires) for an attempt to get it to pass inspection for the first time in 5 years...

 

My trailer is really short, so one of the reasons I specifically chose the trailer I did was because it's a full profile camper. Mine's only an 18' box with no slides so I needed all the width I could get. The trailer I bought was one of the only ones I found that was a full 8' wide in such a short length.

 

YeYe the shorter they are the less likely for full width. I've got a 24ft box with the dinnette on a slide

 

I got looking yours up last night and found one of the Coachmen trailers that I really like. It's the Chaparral X-Lite 295X:

No where near in the cards now, but a guy can dream, right?

 

That's essentially what we want next too. Need a bigger truck first.

 

Hows the taco tow that thing? Is that right at the tow limit?

 

I'm torn. I have the truck for it, but don't necessarily want to be permanently tied to a bigger truck just so I can tow the trailer. Also, as much as I'd love to have a fifth wheel, dealing with the overheight issue scares me a bit. I like just jumping off the highway and taking back roads. With my little trailer, I can swing into parking lots and I'm still usually ok even on tight back roads. A larger fifth wheel could get me into trouble in a hurry...

 

In my mind yes it's at the limit but it's 4600lbs empty so probably about 5k when loaded for a week trip. Does fine, just wish I had a larger fuel tank for longer trips.

 

That’s from a bell ah-1 cobra attack helo

 

It's amazing how light they can make those things. That's not bad at all for a trailer of that size.
