Towing trailers has been mentioned in previous posts (May 10, 2009). This week I attempted to tow a RV from Pierre SD. My van was up to the job but my borrowed trailer wasn't. Instead of attempting the trip, I moved the RV to a storage lot to wait for another time and better equipment. This is shocking behavior, I know, to those who know me.
Interesting trip. I've never seen the Nebraska sand hills this green this late in the summer. We were able to experience a South Dakota thunder storm. Sort of a, "Hold my beer, this could get interesting". (Humor, I never drink and drive)
Just to keep up my foolish image, I made a stupidly low ebay bid on this RV. Now I own it!

Looks like a 70's era Dodge pickem up... Should be fun to restore that, at least it has real metal in it!
A 1967 Dodge, two owners, 70,000 miles, NO rust. Always been in Wyoming or South Dakota. It was parked for years and the gasoline has turned to sludge (3 tanks). Heavy! The trailer has two 7,500 lb rated axles and the truck crushed them.
Wow! Is that a Winnebago camper on the back?
The company was Caveman; a defunct Montana company. The interior paneling is wood, not photo finish. Propane heat, stove, and one propane light. Three way refrigerator. Both 115vac and 12vdc lights. Hot water heater. Has a shower/commode closet with one sewage tank. The water tank looks to hold 8 -10 gallons. Engine appears to be a 318 2 barrel. No A/C, power steering or power brakes. Six 16.5 8 bolt tires. It has an 8 track tape player. Somewhere in storage I have some tapes. I enjoy back road exploring - places like the Kaiparowits Plateau, old Lincoln Highway in Utah and Nv, etc. This rig should be ideal. Everything on it is "hell for stout".
You display common sense? Since when? You have the personality of a bulldozer when dealing with problems.
Mary who knows you too well.
Flatery will get me every time.
Tell them what happened when you tried to go over 30 miles an hour....
You started whimpering and begging me to slow down!
