I've towed a 16' trailer with 2-4 wheelers, a generator, a 3'x1.5'x8' box full of firewood and a few other odds and ends on it without any problems with mine and the 360 in it.....Jerry

I pull a 6 x 12 enclosed trailer filled with my race stuff and don't even know it's back there. But then again I have the 440 in mine...

All six of my rims are the same. The fronts aren't any different, They're just not doubled... ??

My rims are like Power's... different on the front than on the back. My spare is the same rim as the fronts. I have found a rim same as the duals but not sure how to rig it up to carry both spares... has anyone done this?

I don't think anyones dying statement ever contained the words "I wish I had spent more time in the office", so lets go somewhere!

Leeann's got 2 spares on her Concord. Remember, she and I have budd rims on our As and your Cs don't --they have budds on the rr, not the frt. Different chassis and that.

Pic of the rear of her Concord will give you a good idea.
An idea I will likely appropriate.

Does anyone know where to get a special bar type item so I can mount a spare on the front bumper? Thanks,

I have noticed moisture on the floor in the cab only of my MH. There is no ceiling leaks etc.

Could it be it has been parked since November?

It is parked on grass. Could the morning dew just be causing it?

If you notice in the picture, it is also producing a white substance. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks!

Basically, the bf used threaded rod and a couple nuts on each side to extend the single tire carrier into a double.

And we pull a trailer with 2 kneel-down raceboats, 2 complete outboards, toolbox with tools, fluids, spare parts, a spare for the trailer...all without much of a problem. But again, we have a 440 and only a 20' RV. We do have to watch tongue weight as the rig tends to get the wags (ask Trish about that one), but if we keep the tongue reasonably light it's fine.

We are, however, building a new race trailer. The 'new' one is double axle and has surge brakes, plus we're putting the boats up front and the motor/toolbox at the back for better weight distribution. This should help with the wag.

Dunno what the white stuff is, but do know you had better get that thing OFF the grass.

Moisture /condensation from the grass will eat holes in your fuel line, brake lines, trans lines and trans cooler lines.
That moisture will also hasten the rust of your cab floor and entire frame.

No, really.

Get a big (10x20 at least) tarp, drive your C over it and you will save yourself thousands of dollars and lots of headaches.

Izzat carry rack on the Concord cool or what.
Uhm...where's the grill? I only ask because I have a vested interest in steak.

Alas, because of the Big Box, I can't have any such contrivance on the Travco. I've got the generator, bottles and water tank in the rr. Toting extras is what that little fiberglass trailer (wish that fella'd mail me back) will be for.

Is the new trailer ready yet because the old wagged like a dog's tail.
