Yes, Elephant Butte Lake outside of Truth or Consequences, NM. Fun place and perfect for the MV's. I would put money, that other then a military base, Elephant Butte has the highest concentration of MV's per capita then any other town in America. A small get together last summer. Sorry...

Artisan, the RV's will never be towed over the road with the 5 ton set up. It will only tow them through the sand down to lakeside, maybe a 1/4 mile at the most. I am anxious to see what the tongue weight of the RV 5th Wheel will do to the rear axle of the 5 ton, but I'm willing to bet 750...

There must be 50-75 MV owners at our local lake. Deuces, 5 tons, 20 tons. The surrounding area is all desert sand, thick, deep sand. I have not seen one, not one vehicle make it up the sand dunes. Deuces do better then 5 tons. The bigger and heavier the vehicle, the less it will float...

Removed Semi Hitch, installed trailer bed, extended frame, installed rv 5th wheel hitch. This truck stays down at the lake and pulls toys through the sand. We got jealous of the cargo beds and the hauling capacity of the other trucks so we decided to look for a trailer bed so we could put the...

Hey Ferrel! Yep, we are going to work on the 5th wheel hitch this weekend and see if we can get that taken care of. Hope to see ya soon. Good luck on your new job and the move.

After all the official warnings, my crew and I got freaked out we took the 931A1 to a shop here in Albuquerque. This shop has been in business over 35 years and the mechanic, Willy, knew exactly what he was looking at when we brought it in. Said they just don't see wedge brakes much. Said...

sure would be nice if pmramsey gave us the Halex part numbers he used to replace the cans.

I have been searching and reading all day and have come to the conclusion that we will replace the Brake Chamber instead of trying to cage the spring brake and replace the diaphragm. I have seen so many other threads come to that conclusion and I have seen many people say go to Napa, they carry...

Thanks!

I am back on this after quite some time. We have tracked down and corrected several air leaks on the old girl but still have one giant problem. There is air leaking out of one of the rear brake diaphragms only when the brake pedal is depressed. The air system builds and holds air fine. It...

Odessa, TX? What the heck is going on in Odessa that would keep you from having fun with us at the lake. Only been to Odessa once. The Jr. College National Gymnastics Championship. Don't remember how I did, but I do remember a special little cheerleader, oh the good old days.

yep, my team will be there!

We won 1st place for money raised by a single host, $231. And we won 2nd place for overall best Host site. I had a blast and will definitely be on for next year, hopefully bigger and better. The spot they gave us could have fit 50 trucks.

The Luminaria Tour was great fun. Huge thanks to the Searls Bros, Dennis and his crew, Rich and all the rest. We had a great showing and lots of people stopped by to donate to Make A Wish. We raised over $200 just at our camp by selling cookies and brownies. The ladies baked up a monstrous...

That's okay, we will figure something out. I like the ammo can idea. I will see if I can scrounge one up in the hood here. I borrowed my brother's big coffee pot last night so we can use that.

We should invade Fastino's parking lot on Juan Tabo. I always see a bunch of classic car clubs meeting there like on Sunday mornings. People stop and look at the cars and the owners show them off. We should just take it over for lunch sometime.

all right, the crew is growing!

I live in the NE heights Sam

Okay, let me know what Dennis says. I got some more info from the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. They will dig the fire pit for us with a back hoe Saturday morning, so I will get over there to the site and figure out where we want it. Also we are supposed to be at the sites by 4:00 because...

So far it looks like we have five MV's- Rick and Deb DeLuca, Deuce Mark and Liz Ardisana- 5 ton, Powell and Ferell Searles- deuce, Rich and Mar Reyes- 5 ton, Vick and Alicia with friends Dan and Sylvia Torres- deuce. So hey that's great! We will have a blast. We should meet up at the Butte...
