    DustBox - dust mitigation device - positive pressure system

    I'm going to say, after due deliberation and after contemplating various scenarios presenting potential disasters, I have concluded that the average time to cut a 5 inch by 5 inch hole in the front wall of an RV built in North America utilizing generally accepted manufacturing processes...

    Hierarchy of hard sided campers that handle the snow/winter?

    I'm no expert on slide outs, but a neighbor has one and cusses it regularly. You might consider one that retracts inside for the nights in really cold weather, just having less exposed surfaces to the outside will give the furnace a break.

    Does HP trump range on a loaded EV Pickup?

    Now, I admire your opinions as the forum's science guy, but can you explain this? More fuel isn't required for higher horsepower engines? As I recall, my VW's got about 24-28 mpg with 36 to 62 hp, my 300 hp Vet got about 10 mpg on a good day. The more fuel poured in from two 4 barrels gets...

    Better yet, turn it on when you need the extra power and shut it off and use your 2000+ watt solar gen set.

    Need ideas to carry motorcycle and bikes at speed. Off-road capable.

    Sounds like you could end up with a toy hauler. Just FYI, I picked up a 16' dual axel enclosed V nose for $1,500 and did nothing to it, 3 years later sold it for $3500, so while that usually isn't the case, you'll probably get your money back if you pick up a nice trailer.

    Need ideas to carry motorcycle and bikes at speed. Off-road capable.

    Thank you for your explanation. I have 5 trailers, 2 are for my motorcycle, roughly about 3x4/5 foot, 13 inch wheels, I could tow them at 80, I don't. At times, they have both hit 70 but 65 is a sweet spot. 2 other trailers are dual axel boat trailers, 16 and 24 footers, they have gone a bit...

    Good for you, glad to hear that. You do understand that confrontation takes two, you could have just let my common sense post pass, but noooooo, you had to make something out of it and post your rude reply and be pissy about pulling a trailer over 80 mph, as if that's a real smart thing to do...

    Trailer Hitch Extension Weight Limit Question

    No, but I understand what you're saying, my opinion is; you are over thinking the engineering aspects. I have a 2 carriers, different types, both hang back at least 18 inches, I don't know what the rating is for one, a bike rack but the other basket type is 500 pounds. Both have gone faster...

    Need ideas to carry motorcycle and bikes at speed. Off-road capable.

    Mind posting a trailer tire rated for 80 + mph....... When you see a speed limit sign that says, "Trailers 55" it doesn't matter what trailer you have. Exactly what is a "proper axel with a suspension" ? Hope you aren't next to me when you have a blowout!

    IMO, only idiots tow trailers at 80+mph, or is that KMs?

    Trailer Hitch Extension Weight Limit Question

    Go get opinions from real people, 350 pounds is like me and my dog standing on the ball, seriously, it's nothing.

    Trailer Hitch Extension Weight Limit Question

    I agree with you, I've only used Class A hitches on my Pickup, now that we know the bike is only 350 pounds, I second my suggestion, you aren't going to snap that hitch from the frame.
