I had to tell someone! I get all excited like a school boy with a bag-O-candy. I just received a phone call and my new trailer is here. It made it all the way from Texas to Cali. It is a good hour from my house so I probly won't beable to pick it up until Friday or first thing Saturday...hmmm unless I get 'sick' and don't come into work waytogo heheheh Anyway YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Burt imp:
Thats rad! Congrats!! Now you have to devote a good day to going to pick it up and then loading your rig on the trailer and figureing out how you want to tie it down, Which size drop hitch to use, how you are going to connect the safety chains and all of that. In my opinion that is the best part of it all!! I am definetly jealous waytogo Oh by the way, where do you have to pick the trailer up at? -Brent
Right on man, I'll have to come over and help you get it loaded up. It's pretty exciting getting everything ready, now if I would just get my butt in gear and get my gooseneck repainted, tires, wiring, and my Dodge fitted with a Prodigy and hide-a-hitch we could run together this summer to the "fest!"
The trailer is up in Sacramento, A1 Best Trailers is the place. THis guy took the time to get all my options and beat the competators prices by hundreds, 5 to be exact. Ya I have alot to learn still but this is fun learning hehehee I have alot of stuff to put on my towrig too like Class5 hitch, WD setup(well most of it goes on the trailer) & brake controler w/wireing. Should go fairly smooth from what I have read. And once I'm done setting it all up I should have a nice and smooth towing experiance waytogo imp: waytogo Bobby ~ we cold make it a Convoy imp: Big 10-4 rubber ducky rotfl hahahaha
Rubber duck to big bird, come in big bird. rotfl You still haven't put that monster hitch on yet? I don't know how soon you plan on doing it but I could help in June. :doah: I'm busy getting all our rice planted right now. THe brake controller should be a piece of cake on both our trucks, we both have a plug under the dash for the controller, we just need the correct harness for the controller.
ya ya everything I do take a looooong time hahahaha to damn busy with life stuff :doah: It won't take me but an hour to slap that puppy on, just a matter of finding/making time to doit...maby tonight..gotta tell the wife to stop with the afterwork honey do list. Ya I have the harness for my controler to plug in the 'under dash plug'. By the way that old gas is gone now, I put it in a rental car my wife had fer a few days rotfl Later Burt
I got the Jordan. I like the idea that when I move the brake pedal the trailer brakes apply. The Prodigy gets great reviews but I just don't know about the whole enersha(sp?) thing. The Brakesmart is just too much $$$$ for my needs, I hear they are the best though. The Jordan has good ratings too so that is what I bought.
Jordan? Never heard of it. :doah: I have a brake controller in my blazer that is tapped into the brake lines via a hydraulic line, it worked ok but I think I'm going to go with an inertia controller. My dad put a Prodigy in his burb and it works great pulling the 7K snowmobile trailer so I think thats what I'm going to go with. I'm interested in seeing this Jordan controller, and how it works. waytogo
I was researching over at rv.net and alot of travel trailer fols over there and allot of controler threads to read. All the users basically narrowed it down to the top 3 controllers to use. BrakeSmart #1 but the price tag is $350+ (Hydrolic) Jordan came in second (cable to brake pedal), here is the site http://www.jordanbrake.com/ The link has a price of $139, but I got it fer $99 here http://rvwholesalers.com/catalog/home.php?cat=6 Prodigy is the most widly used controller (enersha), allot of RVers use this one. It is the easiest to install and can be mounted just about anywere. Hope this helps Burt
