Save a bunch of pipe and make it a weed burner style exhaust or over the top of the generator to the front door with a slot in it so that the door can be opened without interfering with the exhaust. That would make it fairly short. Can always wrap it with exhaust tape. Dont forget about a computer fan or 2, but you MUST provide clean combustion air or the thing will run badly with mixed air.

I had an Alfa that did that and since it wasnt an expensive trailer due to its age and we wanted to improve the appearance, mostly because we bought from an elderly couple that had left it in a storage lot in Bullhead City for 3 years without any care or maintenance. I tried all kinds of different approaches but found the most successful was to remove the decals, most on the sun side were cooked away anyways, and then I applied Poli-Glo. It was some work but when I finished it, it was a satisfactory result for what we were looking for. I was shiny, and easier to keep clean and good looking.

I use a 50W solar panels to do all those tasks. I have 2 that I move around to various equipment. My Miller Trailblazer eats battery charging parts so I use a 20W for that. Works very well.

I wonder if a cheap furniture blanket around the tanks in the compartment would be helpful. A lamp also can help as long as it isnt LED.

I'm near Temecula, Jojoba Hills, and we had a 40% chance of rain earlier in the week. Well, its down to 25% but skies dont look promising. Too bad as many times what comes ashore and gives us rain will continue into Southern AZ.

Esp given that so much of it is OPINIONS and less about facts. Have to certainly do due diligence. Put the work in if you want good results.

The resistor idea seems more involved than replacing the plug & play flasher. I also had replaced the taillights, backup lights, fog lights and headlight.

Yes the desert needs rain BUT THE CALIFORNIA FORESTS ESP THOSE WITH FIRES need rain more. Years of those federal lands being ignored has created a bad situation for fires during drought times. I would think this may be another unfortunate fallout of the Great Recession and we havent caught up on all those things that were not done when the money was not available. And its almost Nov and still unseasonably high temps in the Southwest.

Change your flasher to an electronic type instead of the one supplied. I did the same thing on my IH 4700, and when I turned on the lights to check operation, the blinkers acter wacko. Changed the flasher and all is good. Circuit is looking for some load to operate the flasher and the LEDs dont have enough of a load.

Your post surely makes sense to you but the lack of detail makes it difficult to understand let alone provide input. The axle manufacturer will be more helpful than the trailer manufacturer. Lots of experience in these forums but you gotta give some more info.

Can you post a picture of what you are talking about??

What about a simple angle attached to the trailer at each side of the panel, install spring loaded pins in the panel, and when the panel is down, have the pins go into holes in the angle, nesting it and securing it for travel.

If they are a broker, and likely will be making a commision on the sale, let them earn it. They should be willing to help you with info unless they have plenty of potential buyers and/or they dont care. If they dont care now, they likely will not during the ENTIRE process.

Here is how you do it, enjoy the moment.

And THAT is why I appreciate you, Dave. There was job to be done and you went and did it. THANK YOU!!

Sorry to hear of your plight, Dave. Wish I could help you with the trailer. Now that you have new knees, the back fights back(no pun intented). Hoping that someone can help you out.

And they wouldnt flap around in winds like toppers. Nice idea.

So are your talking about vents or AC penetrations? Not understanding.

test tubes are made in various sizes. I would buy spices from bulk bins in quantities needed, not quantities available in pre-packaged containers. And then with a small funnel, fill them. I am thinking that it would allow for fresher spices and better flavors.

We're considering this idea.

Can the bushings/sleeves be removed? The weld in the second pic is not completely around the tube and appears to have been 2 seperate welds. If it has lasted this long, I would think that replacing that with new weld, certainly continuous around the tube, and with good penetration, should let it live another long life. It would be best to grind out most of that old weld before rewelding.

I had an Alfa Sun 5er. The decal on the front cap was very badly damaged by UV, so I decided to find a replacement. After looking for some time for a direct replacement, I decided to use some clip art and found a nice caricature of a Sun with sunglasses and little legs dancing. I couldnt believe how many people would stop and have conversations while pointing to my Dancing Sun.

I am on the same path as Bob, currently using a similar MDT he sold. What is holding me back from making the jump now is that with my MDT I have many of the benefits of avoiding the "tail wagging the dog" issues as my truck is heavy enough to be safe(vs my 1 ton CC DRW with 500/1000 Duramax/Allison combo-which is plenty of power for a smaller 5er but does not have the physical weight). I do want the benefits of an HDT when I get to that point(I am still working my business full time) and with the added cubic inches, which I believe there is no substitute for. My 1 ton has 6.6L/6 speed auto, the MDT 8.7L/6 speed auto and stepping up to what I will consider in an HDT, 12.9L/likely 12 speed auto. Add to that, the value of what a new MDT pick up costs, say $80K+++, the used HDT seems like a nice fit. BUT, I am a fabricator/welder/contractor and still enjoy working so the + & - of the HDT is that it is large to get to a jobsite but large enough to have MOST of my tools that I would need mobile(I own a 3000SF shop + a DRW service truck and 2 trailers for different facets of my business). I guess my point is there is NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL going on here, but there is alot of great info and help to assist with decision making for what works for you in your own situation. Enjoy the journey.

I understand. I dont think it those terms as I have a big shop with the equipment necessary to do things like that, so it often is a matter of finding the time to do it rather than a shop to do it.

Sounds like perhaps steel pins and perhaps a flanged bronze bushing application?
