New Diesel Tow Rig...well, new to me, uh, soon to be new to me...

[txav8r]

I did find out just before purchase, that the reading I saw on generator hours was wrong, and that it had 127.2 hours on it. But that is still uncommonly LOW!

Just saw this, Very Nice Mel.

First tow!

Awesome.

Dumb Question.....Do you launch the boat with the RV at the lake? I'm just trying to imagine doing that.

 

[txav8r]

I intend to launch it with the bus. We have several members that do that.

I figured you were, that's why I said it's probably a dumb question. Just thought I'd ask if there was another option where you're going. I can't imagine it here, all our ramps are way too tight.

Good luck, looks like a ton of fun!

We have one of these kohler generators at work that we use out on the research boats. I think it's a 10kw. It just turned over 1000 hours and still runs like a champ. 127 is nothing on a diesel generator.

Awesome looking!!!

Stuck with two big issues but getting them solved. I hope. Will delay us a day so far.

The ramp at powell is wide enough for 3 semi trucks with 80' houseboats to make a u-turn on the ramp side by side and back into the lake on the ramp! It's big!

Damn, Yeah...that should do it.

First issue was a check engine light that I had Cummins service rad the codes. Was a turbocharger speed issue. They found the turbo speed sensor wire chaffed, Probably due to heat. Had to order the part cost me a day but we're back on the road!

 

[farrelltravis]

Glad to hear you guys are back on the road!!!

 

[PEARCE]

Glad to hear that your trip is a go. What about the slide?

 

[txav8r]

At camping world Albuquerque. A very nice facility and the staff is amazing sales to service. Cross your fingers they can fix it!

 

[txav8r]

Back in business!

 

[farrelltravis]

Good deal!

Somehow missed this thread. Nice looking rig Mel!

 

[txav8r]

It looks good but I have been a little miffed at it the last week. It cost us our trip to Powell.

Sounds just like a yacht! They always break down when you need them.

Yeah @Murf'n'surf , Clara was reminding me of the Trojan we had for a year. Nothing but problems and no reward. I am hoping this experience turns around. But if you can't get where you want to go in the timeframe you have, it won't be for us.
