    MPG towing RTT trailer. Results

    I get about 14 towing my teardrop. I can’t say I get any better without it. I limit my speed to 65 tow to the limits of trailer tires. I’m planning to change to a car tire design to get around that, but the tiny bearings will still be a limiter.

    On the fence - push me over: buy or build a skottle?

    I wasn't even planning to mess with legs on my disk. A burner like this should be good for it to sit upon.

    Any thoughts on the Icom IC-705

    Neat little radio. I’ve been taking an Elecraft K2 portable for years. I use a hustler mobile whip mounted on a ground stake with a few radials. I have resonators fir 10-80. One May, the guys at W9IMS were stunned when I told them my setup on 20 meters.

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    I bet it does! i used the frame of my teardrop to haul the bulky items home before I built the cabin. the frame bounced, and the hitch rattled a lot.

    In my case, there was no console when DPS let it go. I was free to do anything.

    Using Overlanding To Help Veterans

    One veteran to another, this is fantastic! I just watched the episode where you visited Bastogne. Very engaging.

    Is an overland trailer really worth the expense?

    Ah, makes sense. When I first saw a turtleback trailer, I was turned off by the lack of wood cabinets and finishes. Once I watched their demo video, it made sense why they chose not to use it.

    I’ve been keeping an eye open for a reasonably priced panel to possibly go into the left quarter window of my Tahoe.

    GoPro

    I’ve got the hero 7 black and hero 8 black bookmarked. I kinda like the idea of a swivel mount to look down a trail, but still be able to swing it to the sides or even back on me if I wanted to comment. i haven’t convinced myself it’s something I need yet.

    On the fence - push me over: buy or build a skottle?

    Y’all have inspired me. I started reworking an old plow disk I had in the garage.

    Is an overland trailer really worth the expense?

    mine is all wood. There’s been no warping in 12 years. Condensation is possible with any enclosed space as well.

    Is an overland trailer really worth the expense?

    That’s one I’d consider if I replace my teardrop.
