: Toyhaulers and More Toyhaulers..... 56Nomad 03-13-2005, 09:13 PM We'll we did it. Ordered a new Weekend Warrior (FE3305), and this will be our first 5th wheel. The baby arrives on April 23rd. This week installed the heavy duty 20,000 lb Reese hitch. Can't wait to load it up! diesel man 03-13-2005, 09:58 PM lookin good . tophog 03-13-2005, 10:00 PM Damn, something that big I call "home" :) Congrats, I'm sure your going to luv it. Terrain Twister 03-13-2005, 11:50 PM OK 56, Sounds like a good weekend to take it out.):h Where in CA are you? What toys go inside? JJs DuMax 03-14-2005, 01:02 AM Nice rig! Congratulations and safe motoring! JJ :) 56Nomad 03-14-2005, 01:11 AM OK 56, Where in CA are you? What toys go inside? We live near Santa Cruz, CA Now we'll have to put the two SportTrax inside the WWhttp://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y3/56Nomad/SignatureDieselPage.jpg Now we'll have to put them inside the WW Terrain Twister 03-14-2005, 12:44 PM You're going to love the stability of the 5th wheel and that 3rd axle.:ro) You will notice some tire scrub on the front and rear axles but worth it for how it handles IMHO.:) One suggestion though. Before you take delivery, tell them you want a certified weight slip for what it actually weighs. You want the weight of both the axles and pin. It should match the label that's posted inside to give you an acurate number of how much capacity is left to load the goodies in. They all seem to 'Exagerate' on what it actually weighs and you have an opportunity to have that verified before anything is actually put in it. Have it done with all the tanks full (water, propane, fuel). Not trying to burst any bubbles but trust me on this one. I'm sure JJ and others will back me. dozerboy 03-14-2005, 09:00 PM 56Nomad Wasn’t your truck stolen or something awhile back what happened? 56Nomad 03-14-2005, 10:48 PM 56Nomad Wasn’t your truck stolen or something awhile back what happened? You have a great memory. It was my brother-in-law's 3/4 ton 2002 D/A that was stolen in broad daylight at Pete's Camp in Baja. He was reimbursed by his American insurance. He was able to replace it with a spittin image.... even the mileage was the same. I expect, he'll be upgrading to a larger toyhauler also! JJs DuMax 03-15-2005, 01:02 PM TT, like Ronald Reagan used to say "Trust but verify". JJ :) Terrain Twister 03-15-2005, 03:33 PM Exactly! Unfortunately, It's been more verify than trust. Getting burned too often does that.:mad: dozerboy 03-15-2005, 11:33 PM You have a great memory. It was my brother-in-law's 3/4 ton 2002 D/A that was stolen in broad daylight at Pete's Camp in Baja.

Glad to hear your brother in law got reimbursed. I like to go to Baja for a little fun luckly nothing like that has happend to me. | ||
