RE: Is a tandem axle cargo trailer worth the extra $ over single
That’s right Marty. We have a flat nose single axle trailer in the family fleet complete with two camper jack shaped dints in the tin on the front...

RE: Is a tandem axle cargo trailer worth the extra $ over single
Most manufacturers publish the axle specs on their spec sites.
Also - my next trailer would be a v-nose model whether single or 2 axle. They have better aerodynamics than the flat nose tub I have.
Now you did it. They actually have a better aerodynamics only if you are heading straight into a wind or no wind at all. Rest of the time you get pushed around like all the rest of the square boxes. I put a nose cone on the front of mine and that my friend is the only way aerodynamically it helps. You do gain space in front with a V type front though. Here we go...….

RE: Found my replacement engine!
Why, I can see 2 12v Cummins’z right out my winda here. One in an experienced Dodge bale truck and 1 in a Kenworth dually.
The bale Dodge out pulls the 04 Duramax dually hauling the same gooseneck trailers. Bellows like a truck engine doing it (6 in a line 1800 rpm)
But the GMC is a tough hard working truck too. 17000 + engine hours and was moving some feed today.

RE: The danger of self-isolating from COVID-19 on public lands
Wouldn’t the idea be to take a setup in which you are self contained and not running in and out of places like you are on vacation?
What are you going to eat? What if you both get too sick to drive?
I eat in my rigs galley. I would remote camp where mobile has a signal and not move unnecessarily. If I got sick with what looked like C19 I would call 911 and explain my symptoms so responders are prepared. I would use google maps or what3words app to direct help to me with 3 meter accuracy.

RE: Is a tandem axle cargo trailer worth the extra $ over single
My towed garage is a tandem spring ride on 3500lbs axles all 4 wheels have brakes. It rides pretty nice vs a single axle torsion rubber suspension one we have in the fleet. The single axle wheels fall in the hole with no tandem to momentarily take part of the weight.
If your stuff in the trailer is not shock and vibration sensitive a single works fine.

RE: Recreational Border Crossing
Oh you mean “consumer buying more stuff to go with my stuff I already have” travel.
I haven’t met too many US citizens traveling western Canada in search of more pots and pans and a bigger TV. Most seem to enjoy seeing the beautiful scenery, the elbow room, and meeting friendly people.

RE: Canadian health Insurance
Noteven: Who is your insurer? Have you read the policy? Seems odd that one of those companies would actually be doing the right thing!
Moisheh
TuGo. I received a direct email from them explaining their coverage with respect to Covid-19. I contacted my broker who confirmed the information.
As the other party in the contract I am doing my due diligence to avoid a “known risk” using common sense.
MODERATOR'S EDIT: Per the site Admin's request, I am closing all COVID-19 threads and directing future comments to one thread in Around the Campfire.

And some insurers, like mine, say you are covered as per your contract if you left Canada before March 13/20.
