Gooseneck trailer tips

[69znc]

Greg,

An absolutely beautiful rig. I saw one that was almost identical heading to Virginia to dyno my car (from Charlotte). Similar motor home and trailer. The only thing that killed me was the rear was solid shiny shiny something and it was blinding as the sun was low.

I will never be able to afford it but it is gorgeous!

PS
Still think you should change the name of the thread, the title is still misleading!

Yes the name is all wrong now.... I agree.


Thank you for the kind compliments! I wish it wasn't all white -- but washing it the other day --- I was glad it was! Man is that a lot of surface area to clean!

And yes -- I've already been scolded on the CB from a trucker that was following me with his lights on.... My response to him was ''Well... then back the F off.... 'cause you're following too close if it's a problem for ya!"....

Then I started hoping he needed fuel before I did....

Our family did the horse trailer thing and while not near as large it was a pain to wash. If I had to do it all over again I would have found the person who had a passion to wash it!! I pretty much do everything myself but that is something, along with weed eating our pastures, that I need to psych myself up for.

Yeah the reflection was a killer not even being that close.. so I had to pass him. I would worry more about two trucks pulling around and deciding to stop, block and discuss!!! Especially on the country roads of the south east!

Anyway enjoy!

I would consider that a life threatening situation and after I blew the smoke out of my Kimber.... I'd be calling the coroner....


There's actually A LOT of rigs with quilted (not as bad) and SS doors on them... funny --- sitting up high --- it doesn't bother you when you're following... but in a car... it's bad I agree.

Maybe I'll have to start plastering it with bumper stickers... My favorite "Peel backing and apply to bumper".

We can fix that.

After that electrical snafu, perhaps get one of them AARP bumper stickers...

'If this trailer is a smokin, it ain't what ya think, so please come a knockin.'

I think that's what the sticker they sent me said...

Call me stupid... this may be my new home....


I like the name it has -- if someone is looking for some help - Back about a half a zillion pages there's lots of good discussion. Doesn't matter where it ended up. It'd be like starting a build thread - then once it's done you going to change the name from "my 69 project" to "my finished 69 project" ---- then you have to move it from the project section....
