In the real world ,the shorter the trailer or closer the axle to the ball . will be the closer it follows the track of the back axle of the towing vehicle. If you want a trailer to track exactly to the back axle of your truck. My non scientific view would be . Match the exact distance from the...
It is very easy ,you just drop the trailer part into the receiver piece and shove in the pin and keeper . it is sort of guided into place buy a shoulder on the receiver . My trailer is very light so I may be at an advantage to some .I have found lots of times I just pull the main hitch pin and...
I have owned trailers with surge brakes and not too big a fan . When you need them the most on a ice and snow or slippery surface, they do not work .If the truck can not apply enough braking force before skidding it can't apply the force needed to activate them . Maybe things are different...
That is a nice looking pintle hitch , do you think it is made of cast steel ? Also do not know if you have caught it yet but there's a bolt falling out of the side.
Just an update . I have been going over the MTO website reading the rules for towing multiple trailers . And I know that we all live in areas with different rules . So first you are correct , it is illegal to tow more then one trailer with a passenger vehicle . But all pickup trucks are classed...
well this may not work but some one always has to be the first to try . I will not in danger my self or other people . as far as trucks ,the heaviest loads I have seen moved say 100 ton loads . they loaded concrete blocks on on the truck and used a pintal hitch with multiple jeep or dolly. The...
Well it is a bit of an experiment . I understand that proper weight distribution will be important . I know that my 14 foot boat trailer has low tong weight ,I usually load extra gas cans and stuff in the front to balance it better . I thought two balls were not allowed because the first trailer...
I think the first truck has two chains if you look close . But I think they are different vehicles . so the camper is probable tail heavy too ,they tend to put the bathroom and holding tanks in the overhang part . also make note of the long tong extension required because of the camper overhang...
Well I have a complete kit for adding a second battery to another project . But after reading this thread I wanted to have some fun and try. this morning I am going to turn the toggle switch around ,so if it gets bumped it will be in the off position . and change the cable to the other side of...
I have done normal towing with it ,and it is fine for that. I will likely never use it to its full capability ,as I do not have a truck that can rock crawl and such. My main purpose of getting it was to allow me to pull a second trailer behind this one . I want to bring my fishing boat along as...
ha ha that's a good one ,there was one like this with a bull mounted on her back and it said ( when your in a fix not every one that shows up is there to help }
OK so I did the dual set up on my 09 GMC today . the good cost out of pocket was 60 bucks and the 09 charges at 14.7 volts . also there is already a fuse between the battery and the main fuse block .so if you hook on the other side of that you have one fuse already .come to think about if maybe...
There is a dealer in Ontario CA right now selling 2019 1500 ST quad cab classic 4x4 for $ 28,683 CA dollars thats around 22,000 US. seems like a real good deal. silly to look at used for this price . the classic are left over last generation models . it is almost 20,000 off list
thanks for the info . it is a Spacekap at least it has there decals and name on it . it is not the same model as yours ,no overhang on the cab and looks to be about a foot lower in height . there is one on KIJIJI in Ontario under f250 fords for some reason listed at $1,500 Canadian that's...
Just watched the video , its great . I will be following along . My wife has informed me that when she retires in a few years she wants a van , not my hillbilly trucks . I hear that Ford will have 4 wheel drive on the transit soon . that could save a lot on a build like yours maybe ? Thanks
That is a great looking rig ,very clean and simple . did you spray foam the insulation ? and how did you cover it for protection from punctures ? The spacecap I brought home last week is only made from fiberglass chop, i was thinking i need to put a layer of woven mat on to strengthen it up...
