Newmar Dutch Star and the toy trailer.

When I got started out camping on my own it was with two quads in the bed of my GMC and a 26' Tahoe camper behind that. Then moved up to a Ram 2500 with a Cummins towing a Newmar trailer. After that a Ram 3500 towing a Rage'n toy hauler. Due to my growing family started looking at new toy...

The Cummins ISL 8.9 and Cat C9 are both good engines. I have a Dutch Star with the ISL 370 and it has been a great motor, only problem was an injector that was replaced when the coach was newer. No matter what you get, I would try to get a coach with a side radiator setup as access to servicing...

Don't even bother with Lake Mead right now, the water level has dropped so much the ramps are a cluster if you can even launch. Lake Mojave is a better choice but you better get there early as the marina (especially Willow Beach) reaches capacity early. We went to Kathryn Landing at Bullhead...

Mountain pass inspection station at I 15 and nipton road is checking u-haul trucks and trailers. Just a heads up.

Pahrump is the place, but it's best to buy early (May) as it gets busy at the stores and the law cracks down more closer to the 4th. Someone mentioned a checkpoint by Baker, I would recommend not going the back way by Dumont Dunes and Shoshone, that road is not safe this time of year. Use I15 to...

My worst car, mostly due to the previous owner, was a 1967 Datsun Roadster with the 1600 engine. It was a complete basket case, literally, as the previous owner had disassembled the car to restore it. He had rebuilt the engine and reinstalled it in the car, but was lost as to why it was smoking...

Let me know if you put it up for sale. I currently have a Spectra 18 but have outgrown it. I'm looking for something bigger.

I live in Nevada but am in California quite a bit for work. I don't know how people afford California prices! They are nuts. I'm out in Pahrump and almost every house that goes on the market here gets snatched up by people leaving California. We are selling our house in Boulder City soon if...

LOL. My 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 has towed whatever I have put behind it. 15 years old and this truck has never been on a tow truck, never left me stranded. The new trucks scare me, way too much to go wrong.

If you are looking for the max tow rating on the Ram trucks you need to carefully look at how the truck is optioned. To get the 34,000 lb rating it must be a 3500 dually, Aisin transmission, 1,000 engine, and 4.10 gears. With the taller gears the tow rating is only 26,000 lbs, iirc.

What kind of speeds were you seeing with this boat? When were the drives last serviced? Do you have pictures under the bow? Do you have a number I can contact you at?

I would rather deal with idiots on Waverunners than wakeboard boats.

They can send that case to the DA's office but Wolfson will not prosecute if the shooting was self defense.

I'm still riding a 2009 Jamis 26er, custom build. It weighs 28 lbs with pedals. I used to ride Bootleg in Boulder City all the time, but now live in Pahrump so the area by Red Rock is closer to me now.
