  1. Do any of you use one while out there? I know many may use personal radios in their sand cars, but was wondering about CB?

    I figured it would be a good way to keep camps in contact? And ch. 9 for emergencies?

  2. Hey thanks for the tips guys! Yeah wldotz, I would love to try those tires out one day.....I don't have enough lift on the sammie right now since it's stock :angry: Oh well, this upcoming trip is gonna be like a trial run with the sammie, basically to see if I like it enough to mod it?

    Terry, I hear on boycotting the Date Farm.....just thought it might be a nice ride out? But I did also read that the trail to go there is closed now too anyhow?

    ISBB, that rocks! Liket the fwd Sammie action! Why did you get rid of it?

  3. get a good tire like BFG All terrains because the have a very stiff bead and air them down to about 8 in the front and 6 in the back....thats what I run but have mud terrains.. the A/T's would be better.

    I have the goodyear wrangler a/t's. So how do you turn back down the hill, are these Sammies prone to roll over?

    How well is the trail size for the Sammie to make it to the Date Farm?

  4. Okay guys, I normally bring my quads out but am gonna try a Sammie! I just found one for a decent price and thought it would be a good cruiser through sperry wash and most of the smaller dune areas. I know I should air down for the dunes, like comp hill, but was wondering how good they turn around on the hill? I know most trucks don't hit the hill because they don't wanna roll on the turn around to come back down?

    Do any of you know the best way to whip these around, or if they're even possible to? How much are you guys airing down? My Sammie is stock.

  5. Thanks for the help. I actually ended up getting most of the measurements I needed from somebody and also found that the 30FSAK has more space between the wheelwells so using my friends trailer isnt really going to work out. Basically the 23FSAK has exactly 9'3" of cargo space. My Rhino currently from front tire to tailgate latch is about 9' - 9'1", so I should be good to go and can still store a couple sheets of paper back there, lol. Based on the cargo space, me wanting a front sleeper, the trailer weight, and my budget, this is basically what it is narrowed down to. If I really need a couple inches, or if I do when I go to get my 4 seater cage done I can take the front bumper off and gain about 5" and just pull it in backwards. I would still like to actually put my Rhino in one of these before buying one, so if anyone out there has 1 relatively close to Vegas and doesn't mind I would be very grateful. Thanks.

    Hi Ricepow, I got your message about your interest on the 23fsak. Yeah I have one, but don't know the measurements as it's in storage out of town. I do know that the stove section does come out farther than the fridge does. I recently was wondering about how to fit 3 quads in there and I have just recently done it, with plenty of room for all the other things I stuff in there.

    Hope I was of some help, unfortunately I'm in so. CA so I wouldn't be local enough to help you out.

  6. Do any of you know how to properly stand up quads in a trailer like mine? I've never done it before. I have a 400ex, yfz450 and a banshee, all larger quads.

    I have heard of people standing up quads in their toyhauler but have never done it myself, I've only parked 2 inside mine, one parallel and one horizontal.

    Trailer storage space is 9' 3" and I do have a double bunk that has about 6' high overhead clearance. The trailer model is a 2007 Attitude 23fsakg. :mischevious:

  7. Okay cool, thanx guys! Please let me know if you come across any info on someone being up there; cuz I did a search and I heard there used to be one on big weekends.

    :beercheers:

    Oh, and I haven't been out there in years, Where's the best place to camp nowadays? I'm pulling in with just my toyhauler and truck, no crew this year. I wanna be close to the sand but not where I will get sandblasted bad. I'm open to any of you that wanna welcome me near your sweet camp :trickortreat:

  8. Hey I'm from the area. Downtown Huntington beach is always good (Main st.), or Long Beach off of Pine Ave. and Ocean; there are a lot of things to do there. Otherwise if you would like a calmer area, but fun, would be downtown Seal Beach off PCH of course. And there are nice little dive bars and pool halls closer to ya if that's what you're looking for??

  9. As per the other topics in the forum, the torsion (weight distr.) bars should be removed before heading into the sand; especially on a dually, when you want most of the tongue weight on the rear tires. U may also risk damaging your trailer tongue/frame area by not doing so. :freakin_nuts:

  10. I'm pulling a WW 35ft and with Dumont it's not an issue until you hit real soft sand, but at Pismo, all tires are set to 15lbs otherwise you'll spend the evening looking at the fish via your kitchen window..... :DDRrocks::rockon:

    yeah i only have an Expedition and my fully loaded 10k 23ft. I pull has no problems in Pismo either. Just air down all tires, including trailer, and I'm set to go. Well I also have a blower on the truck to boost me through most of it! :D

  11. Our Raptor is having issues with the front cap warping. We also had some warp issues with the siding. Keystone is going to take care of it in March.

    yeah I checked for warpage and it's good. The finish (white portion of the fiberglass) just keeps cracking? And it's isolated to just this one area, no where else on the trailer?

  12. Have any of you experienced the front smooth fiberglass cap showing signs of cracking along the side?? Mine seems to be showing spiral and spider cracks along just one side vertically, right near the side weather strip?? It actually looks like it starts under the weather strip where it's screwed down. Do any of you know of this problem?? I believe that it may be from stress due to the hold-down screws not put in properly, again just on one side?? :lol:

    I took my 2007 23 ft. attitude into Eclipse mfg. and they claim it's nothing to be worried about, just a aesthetic (outside look) issue; May have been from the material or workmanship, but I'm a couple of months out of warranty so I would have to pay. I believe it is something to be worried about, especially passing moisture, etc...as the cracks seem to keep devoloping, and getting larger! :flipoff:

    I was also told that the repair would just consist of bondo then fiberglass re-coat. I don't know if I can trust bondo to keep stress cracks from spreading! :lol:

  13. Yeah, I think "leaking" gray water is okay (given the fact that it's just soap water), and dumping the whole load at once just looks bad. All in all, we all know that everyone does NOT hold all their gray water over a 3 to 7 day + weekend!! :blink: I have a business here in CA and the hazmat inspector for "waste run-off" allows me to dump soap water and other non-toxics into my landscape planters, etc.. AS long as the plants don't die and it's a non-toxic, it's deemed okay to pour into soil.

    I own an auto service business here in L.A. so they come by often to check for pollutants. This doesn't mean blm rules don't apply, but just a fyi for ya'll. :banghead:

  14. The people camped by us last year went and bought some from pahrump and got stoped as soon as they crossed the boarder. The highway patrol pulled them over and asked them where the fireworks were. I think the firework place called and told the chp. The guy got nailed he spend 500.00 on fireworks and got a 1000.00 ticket and got a ticket for a window tint. Watch out new years is coming i am sure there going to be watching closly.

    I'm sure that the CHP saw them drive by, going into Pahrump, then an hour later saw them driving back; right past the officer again. Probably figured that they went for the fireworks. I'll be sure to spend time at one of the casinos and the wal-mart out there before driving back :beercheers:
