Title: what a pleasant surprise!
Post by: TZDeSioux on January 24, 2003, 10:41:11 AM
I was just surfing the web and decided to check out my paypal account I haven't been on in awhile. Looks like I  forgot about a $785.63 balance that's been sitting in the account! What can I buy?  :D :D

I've been sitting in my office since 9:30am and haven't done a single thing today except play on the net. I refuse to work until I know the status of my license renewal!  :-[

I have a Haulmark 6X12.  I need to figure out a way to keep my rolling toolbox from rolling on the way to the track.  Any good ideas for that?

I'd take a couple of flush mount tie down hooks and mount them on the wall.  Take one of the exterior mounting screws out of the external skin, drill through (you'll be going through one of the chassis studs) the whole trailer.  Put in a stainless screw and secure it with a lock nut.  On the second hole on the tie down, use a self tapper.  That should work.  I've got plumming fittings on my trailer wall that hole spare wheels, when I have them.

I also just bought a 6'x10' trailer, Should I just use wheel chocks for the bike and get flushmounts to mount on the floor, or would that compress the suspension to much? Anybody mount a air conditioner on theirs?  8)

I like the Pingle wheel chocks.  But, I only use two tie downs;  both are attached to the sub frame pulling the rear suspension down and forward.  I use a rear stand (Woodcraft) when I do it.  It leaves the front alone a bit without pounding it so much.

AC?  You want to do a roof mount?

Post by: r6_philly on January 26, 2003, 06:16:14 PM
dave, what ac should I use to mount it over the roof vent? I suppose I would have to cut through the front of the trailer if I wish to use a window mount?  I have a unit sitting around, and don't really feel like buying a roof unit... they are kinda expensive arent they

Yeah, you're gonna drop a good chunk of change.  

If you're got a window mound lying around....  

I'd just take a sheet of plywood and make something that you can mount the AC in.  Put it up in the side door, shut the back and sit in the air....

Keep it simple.

Dave,
Do you leave the bike on the stand when you trailer it?  What's the worst thing that happened to the bike while trailering like that?  Where on the floor do you put the tie down hooks? Forward of the subframe?
