...umm...because it doesn't run...

That's just my daily commuter. I am able to do it WAY quicker on my hand-built Italian exotic:

I dunno...September maybe? The Cove is on the south side, in Kihei. Baldwin is on the north shore, about 10 minutes west of where we lived. Did you know that there are penguins on Maui?

Mooses is fine. But the real gem is downstairs, Fred's Mexican Cantina- show up a little before sunset, get yourself an outside table, order up some fishbowl-sized Margaritas, and watch the sun set over the Kam II beach.

I can do it in way less than that from Baldwin Beach Park in Paia town:

Hookipa.

Thank you, as always. That looked like a somewhat slight stuck, of a much lighter vehicle, and a fairly gentle tug without a lot of kinetic energy involved. How many 1.75" parachute straps was that?

Edited...

Wes, I'm not familiar- when I google "parachute straps" I see something that looks about 2" wide. Are you using 4-5 loops of that stuff? Is it springy like a commercially available recovery strap?

That's kinda what I was thinking. I always used a 30-foot long 3" wide (30,000-pound) tug strap with my two suburbans, the heavier of which weighed a little over 7,000 pounds, and that seemed to give just about the right amount of "snap". Four times a 3" strap would be a 12" wide strap, and...

A tug strap, not a tow rope.

The MTVR weighs about 30,000 pounds empty. I'm just spitballing here, but I can't see our total weight going over 40,000 pounds as a motorhome. In a 30-foot length, I'm guessing that I'm gonna need one in roughly an 8" width. What say ye?

Got it figured out- he's Comtac. Shipping will be $22, and he's just gonna refund me the difference. I'm thankful. Now I gotta figure out what size recovery strap I'm gonna need, and get that ordered. I'm guessing that I'm gonna need one bigger than the one that Micah killed on youtube...

Thanks, Wes. I saw that guy's ad. The price for the parts themselves is acceptable, but he wants over $80 for UPS ground shipping, which sounds awfully steep to me. It says he's from Augusta Georgia- any idea who he is, so that I can call him and try to get the shipping price squared away?

That guy's ad now says that he's out of stock on them. I'd really like to find a pair of these for a good price. Anybody know where I can find some?

I like that!

The gas cap seller just messaged me that he's got more of them that he wants to sell.

We will have a separate fire extinguisher for the house portion of our vehicle...

From the looks of that bracket, whatever fit in there was WAY smaller than 5 pounds. I was already thinking of putting a bigger one under the seat and losing the stock "leg shredder" bracket- I think you have helped me to make up my mind...

I ended up going with combination padlocks- I got a small black one for the battery switch, and a much more substantial one for the OEM steering column lock. That way I could give them similar combinations, without having to carry 2 more keys. And I decided against locking the battery box- the...
