Pullstart 62,878 #126 Posted August 30, 2021 How can I argue with such sound advice… except Mrs. P is crushed by this more than I am. I’m on board with the Skoolie Toy Hauler, but she can’t see how I could possibly make something as nice as (appearance wise) the big manufacturers. I guess I’ll need to just prove it. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 12,227 #127 Posted August 30, 2021 I admire several fellow members' advice to find your own way to let this pass, especially as we all know how hard that can be. Few things seem quite so satisfying as chewing on a good grudge, right? This Calvin and Hobbes strip has stuck with me (and saved me on occasion!) 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the first of each month when money isn't being drafted from your bank account Mrs. P will love the looks of Skoolie! An added bonus is that you won't suffer depreciation. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They purchased this for motocross events, for their up and coming star son rider. 1-1/2 years after they got this trailer, he broke his neck in a bad crash, ending his racing career. He has full and co plate movement now, but is not allowed to race by doctor’s and racing organization’s orders. This camper has sat with one or less camping trip per year since then. We ended up paying much less than the new one we had ordered, and this is so much more. Win/win. The Onan 5500 genny has just 270 hours on it and runs flawlessly. We have a standing offer to purchase or other camper, as soon as it’s cleaned out. Hopefully we’ll get it cleaned out tonight and I can deliver the other one tomorrow. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #139 Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) Sawwweet Kev! Can't wait for a show with you now! When's Portage??? Bring to Plow day.!?!?! Can it haul a Senior???? Interior looks real familiar! You got soooo much more there and for not much more coin than mine! Is the 325 for 32'??? Edited September 9, 2021 by WHX?? 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,878 #140 Posted September 9, 2021 Thanks @WHX?? Uncle Jim! Big Show and Portage for sure, let’s schedule Plow Day ‘22 on not the same weekend as the Winchester 400 can we? Pioneer Power ‘22 sounds like a go too. I’m already booked for sure on the weekend of Symco every year too. The only thing it needs is a new set of skins. The sidewalls are checked pretty bad so I have to get some 12 plys on order. 325 stands for I don’t have a clue. It’s 40’2” from the center of the 5th wheel pin to the back bumper. 13’ garage. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spring for the Goodyears ... don't ask me how I know! 12 minutes ago, pullstart said: 325 stands for I don’t have a clue. That's odd as mine is labeled a 24pack14 24" length , 14 ft garage. The garage is measured from just under the TV mount so the kitchen chews up a bit of room. You should easily get four in there. Be interesting to see how the senior and lever nest up in there. Pick up a cheap piece of outdoor carpet for the garage area. Then I lay cardboard down for when the horses pee. Edited September 9, 2021 by WHX?? 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just thinking cardboard, but carpet is a great idea! I might scour CL for tear outs, then just pressure wash the snot out of a piece before getting it in there. Cut it for all the tie down loops and rock ‘n roll! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m thinking likely the two big big wheelrs and maybe hopefully 4 round hoods Tetris’d in there. There are quite a lot of tie down loops, so that shouldn’t be too hard either. Then of course a bonus round hood in front of the truck bed! I’m sure I can figure something out… 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black always needs a proper place for disposal. Localities vary on permitting dumping of gray water. Some campgrounds permit only grey into their site-by-site drains and have a separate drive-up pump out station for black. Inland waterways generally don't permit overboard dumping of either. Some tidal and estuary waters permit but discourage, grey dumping. Edited September 9, 2021 by Handy Don 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
