It's to get you down the road, or out of the mountains/desert/whathaveyou...Not a permanent fix.
I carry spare hoses/belts in my M1031, but it doesn't hurt to have..
They make emergency wrap, holds to 400 PSI or some such nonsense. You wrap it around and squeeze and it turns into a rock hard sealant. I always keep a couple rolls handy...
Drove 170 miles for an annual campout and parade.
Put 11 gallons in.
That gives me 15.5 MPG on an M1031 on mostly highway miles, 55-60 MPH.
I'm OK with that... heh.
Nope. Saw 'frame extension' and thought you meant truck.
and 30' truck+tongue+40' connex? Not a good idea. you'd exceed the 75' maximum allowed on interstates,
An electric pump can be had for less than $30 and plumbed inline below the passenger side door, and it doesn't have to be 'on' until you need it....
Comes in real handy if you need to prime it (for whatever reason).
Hope you got the steering wheel chained.
I'm sure some of Baltimore's roaming illustrious 'disadvantaged urban youth' would love to relieve you of the burden of owning that truck...
:mrgreen:
I miss Smith Island... Hahah.. no crime...no riff raff
A couple reasons.
1. They won't freeze.
2. They can't be eaten.
3. They can't be drained and/or stolen, or otherwise tampered with.
4. They can't be punctured.
My biggest concern is temp. I don't want 100* water on a hot day, or no water (frozen) on a cold day....
Secondary is...
I've been bouncing back and forth between plastic 55gal water drums, and a custom water tank.
I think 100 gallons is the minimum I'd want to carry.
Drums are cheap.
I plan on using the overhang and building out slightly to fit a queen size bed. That'll leave about 2ft overhang.
I have 3...
Mine are in good condition.
The front hatch/vent might be a good idea to put one in, it just might work on the side vents too.
Thanks for the heads up!
