It’s a long, boring, shitty drive no matter the route. Keep the drive as short as possible and take I40. Spend your time saved at LOTO.

It’s a small cowboy town. If thats the life you’re looking for, you will love it. If you or your spouse need any big city stores or conveniences they are about an hour away. It’s 5-10 degrees cooler than Phoenix give or take, cooler if you are in the mountains. Still pretty hot in the...

It’s been over a year since we have been there, but at that time, all graded dirt- they basically just smoothed the area off after they removed the old trailers, so there were some small pieces of tile and other construction debris mixed in. I don’t recall seeing any glass or nails/ screws but...

The new dirt spots in the north section are larger and include some pull through sites. I prefer them over the parking lot vibe of the original area. Still pretty tight if you have a longer setup.

I never use mine, I don’t like them on when traveling or parked. If you think you will use them, and want them to match, make the dealer fix them. The question is, assuming what they said is the truth, do you really want them ripping your bedroom apart to make the repair? If it were my...

This 240 has been in the classifieds for awhile and has merc blue power: https://www.riverdavesplace.com/forums/threads/1999-hallett-240-closed-bow-price-reduced.228124/

Looks like a great time! Any details on the yellow 250? That boat is CLEAN!

Ran the numbers post 67A. MPG doesn’t seem to have changed, 7.5-8ish towing my toyhauler at 77-83, just under 10 at 57-63. Low teens towing my 24’ Lavey 65-75. High teens unloaded at speeds under 70. And low to mid teens unloaded in mixed metro driving with stop and go and 75+ mph freeway...

Beautiful FXR. Do you have a (reputable) local independent big twin shop that might be interested in taking it on consignment, or at least putting it on display for a month or two? If it were a regular old Softail or Dyna I’d say to list in the regular places, but clean FXRs are hard to find...

If all you are doing is replacing the block and heads, the Merc MEFI 1 or 3 ECM should be fine. Were you having issues with the factory engine not adjusting for altitude? If you’re not adding boost, or a bunch of cubic inches, get your injectors cleaned and flowed and call one of the guys who...

I know this is an old thread, but I had the same issue on my Lavey. In addition to the large o-ring on the reservoir, there is a small o-ring on the bottom bolt that holds the reservoir to the pump. The caps are also known to leak, there is an updated part number for the cap. Replacing the...

Time for some more boating content. I realized I had never updated this thread and figured it was time. The trailer was in decent shape with no rust but needed some love. Last spring I did a quick sand and rattle canned it (8 cans worth) along with new wheel bearings and seals, LED lights...

Neighborhood tie up at Pleasant yesterday

I put a couple in the RV picture thread, but didn’t do a thread for this years trip.

Hotel will always be cheaper. And usually more convenient. With an RV it is easier to accommodate pets, and you have the comforts of home. You also get the experience (good or bad) of being outdoors at whatever campground or park you end up at. Nicer RV parks have restrictions on the age...

At some point, you might want to pull the drums off and check the wiring, the wiring behind one of my drums was not properly secured and rubbed through, causing a malfunction. I went ahead and repacked the bearings and replaced the seals while I was in there, three were good but 1 had grease...

Correct. Without the max air covers, my vent covers would last about a year before the sun ruined them, and they were blown off while traveling. It was a PITA to find replacement covers on the road and replace them at a campground. The Maxair covers protect against sun damage and keep rain...

Congrats. Perfect size trailer IMO, plenty of room but still relatively easy to tow and park. A few suggestions and things to check that you might not think of: Every single outlet Your tv antenna (run a channel scan and make sure you actually get reception) Radio/ DVD player (all speakers...

They are out there, I’d throw a WTB ad on here, that might get you some leads. There is a fully built one in the classifieds for 30, that probably has 3x that into the build. I think a lot of people who are looking to sell are sitting on the sideline until desert season to get the most...

I would increase your budget a bit to around 20k, and find a clean 4 seat X3 or Turbo S with under 3000 miles that already has some upgrades done, like comms and lighting. You will be money ahead to spend a little extra now and get a car that is already built with everything you think you...
