MHfred Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Larry, my registration packet says "after hour show truck parking will be available just inside Gate 6 from 5 p.m. to 11p.m. Tuesday-Friday. These drivers need to make sure they return early the next day to register at 8 a.m. so as not to block the truck registration area."

mackaholic Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Left Elko, Nevada this morning headed east in mackdaddy's MH. Got the Aussies in tow as well. Had an E-9 race somewhere in the middle of nowhere and lost to that RH drive Valueliner. Somewhere out here I gotta give that driving on the right deal a go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 My plan is to load the camper onto the trailer deck for now. Eventually I would like to remove the axle and mount it on the gooseneck. Got the engineering done just no time right now. Gregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 trailer looks good- she did a nice job!Since Vicky has been working so hard and also putting up with me at the same time, I told her it would be alright that she could come to York with me. She's not too thrilled that we are getting up to go at 4am on Thursday, though. All part of the "full Trucker effect" I told her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 UD, sharp looking rig. I like those red fenders.Thanks for the vote of confidence. I have had my doubts about the fenders since I put them on. I always thought stainless would be more suitable to the vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 What did I say yesterday about having a good time no matter what?!? Right now I am in a hospital bed just out from knee surgery! WTH I had a trailer wheel Break in half today and hit me pretty hard. I was removing wheels/tires to do wheel bearings, just got done loosening lug nuts, tapped wedges loose then KABLAMMO!!! the wheel itself broke in two (half the wheel and lock ring still on the hub). The wheel and tire hit me as I was stepping away and my left knee took the brunt. Not how I was planning to spend my vacation week, but it could have been A LOT worse, and I am still determined to be in York in some capacity.

Best wishes for a quick recovery and making it to York.Yeah, it sucks but it could have been way uglier. If that wheel let loose 10 seconds sooner, my head would have been next to it, as I had just got done with the lug nuts. Upon further inspection, the wheel was rusted paper thin. It could have gone anytime, even driving down the road. Glad it happened as it did, just me, nobody else got hurt.Gregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
