Mentally contemplating where to put motorcycle rack (size of KLR650) on my truck with an ambo box mounted on rear the conflicts with typical rear mount- . Rear of my box has two great doors. (It was an ambulance) If I can keep one clear at least..... that gives me a secondary exit from...

curious not really for the driving stupid reasons; though that is good to know in back of ones mind, what the max roll/tilt/slope angles is for say an M1079. This is mostly for reference in building a potential gimbal to keep a chiller compressor within 15 degrees of level . Just discovered...

PLEASE ADD YOUR .02 cents. AAA- So far seems they will NOT cover tow under their plan unless you have converted to an RV. Having RV Tow coverage with them is worthless if you do not have it converted. (Think minimum requirement is a fixed toilet) Now that is on paper. When the Tow guy shows...

Looking at options on mounting my Ambulance box more seriously now and talking to welder/Fabricator. Question about balance. Has anyone checked their front to back weight ratio or in a position to do so? Put up on scales at a truck stop with front axle only on scales ..... followed by back...
