RE: Brake controller craziness, advice?

I had a broken wire underneath my Toy-hauler by the brakes themselves so only one side was braking.

RE: Fresh Water Tanks- Weekend Warrior

Hey ya'll. First time here on this forum. so excited. So we just purchased an 08 Weekend Warrior and when we went out for our first trip found out that 1 of the 50 gal fresh water tank is leaking. Anyone know where to find a tank for this toy hauler? I pulled it down and the crack is pretty bad. the 2nd tank looks fine. any help is greatly appreciated. Im looking all over the internet for it and no luck. its the one with this hole in the middle. can I post pics here? thanks

RE: Rear Deck System Worth It?

Sometimes when I've camped at the beach I'll drag over a picnic bench and open the door on to the seat of the bench for a little patio it's not really level but it works and didn't cost a dime.

RE: Birth of the toy hauler

A long long time ago over 40 years now, I owned snow mobiles, we would travel most weekends with our friends and kids and have a great time.
I also had an acquaintance who owned a RV dealership.
I went to him and floated the idea of buying a beater 24 ft travel trailer and gutting it then figure out how to open up the back to bring in a couple machines and live in the front part.
He told there was no way that would work and basically said it was a stupid idea. Huh!
Now everytime I go to a recreation area and see these toy haulers I realize that I was just underfunded and not brave enough to make something like that happen.
I know I probably wasn't the first to think about it, but there was nothing out there like that in mid 70's.

I'm with you on that! Long ago while stuck on a hill on my motorcycle I thought I need a hand break for the foot brake .

RE: Riding in Cal City

I'll just add something to keep you all confused. If you haven't registered your bikes quad or UTV for a Long... while just buy a non-resident pass. They only look at the sticker they don't ask for current registration.

RE: Riding in Cal City

Oh, and as for your plated UT x3, California doesn't reciprocate out of state plated SxS, so you might not qualify based on this technicality.
Not true! It's no different then an out of state vehicle traveling state to state on vacation. I'm plated in AZ. I've been to Cal-City a dozen times other places with no issues!!
That's great. I've read a lot of posts on other forums about people getting hassled with out of state plated SxS's. I'm glad you haven't been hassled in Cal City.
What usually happens because their plated their "not required" to wear a helmets. Hench forth ~ (RED FLAG) And from what I've personally seen a few of these drivers have had a few too... many cold ones and that's what gets them in trouble. We always wear helmets and don't imbed till we're back at camp.

RE: Riding in Cal City

Going with friends for the first time over Thanksgiving.
We have an X3 with Utah license plates. Do we need the Cal City OHV permit?
Any good tips on trails to ride? We can do 100 miles a day.
When you enter off off Twenty Mule Team Road you do not need a permit. The Town of Ransburg is nice to cuz to have lunch check out all of the old stores.

RE: Generator Issues

I suppose it could still be corroded battery wires. The posts and terminals are clean. I've seen corrosion creep up under insulation and cause problems. Too **** hot to mess with it right now.
Drain what you can of the old gas put in some new gas then dump in some Seafoam try to crank it a few times let the Seafoam sit over night try it again!

RE: Fresh Water Tank

Can you slowly add water now and see if it leaks and where it leaks from?
2nd that!
Ummm guessing I blew the tank? Have you looked for any damage yet.
I always keep an eye on my overflow while filling. I sure you could use a Flow~Meter Water Timer of sorts.

RE: Rear Ramp Extension Springs

I replaced the corrugated aluminum on my ramp door with 3/8" plywood and smooth fiberglass laminate. It looks great but the door is now a little too heavy for the springs. I need to find a supplier for these Old style garage door springs. Garage door spring companies don't seem to have anything this large available. They are 39" long eye to eye and 2-1/2" dia with .290 wire. I would like to find springs the same length but with a little thicker wire.
Anyone found replacement springs for their ramp?
Maybe Homedepot
