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.

Yes, it is. And hides the generator's fuel tank quite nicely, too [emoticon]

The grill's inside, under the sink. Same place it was hiding when I took it out to grill your steak.

The old one didn't wag once we got your roof AC and heavy-butt Honda generator off the tongue...our speed averaged 15mph faster on the return trip [emoticon]

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.

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!

Thanks Trish for the information. I had thought about getting gravel. Now, I guess I will. Thanks again,

Thanks for the info on towing. Now at least I know to look for the big block. Does anybody have any input on how much I should pay for one of these wonderful machines? I live in the "rust belt"(southern indiana) and I don't mind a moderate amount of work. I don't want to pull walls off, but would love to do a little tlc.

Goreds...
About that gravel.

Make it IS NOT what's called "IMS slag" because that's the stuff used by the steel mils.
Comes out of the pickler and is covered with various weird, fast-oxidizing acids.

Really. Do the tarp thing fast and save your lines.

My neighbor just gave me, yesterday, a 1978 Dodge 'Establishment". Has a 440CI & 4BBL. Had to supply a battery, 5gal gas, a little persuasion, and now it is in my yard. The genny runs great, just doesn't power anything. The little home is in great looking shape, but needs breaks. Didn't need it, but have it anyway.
