  1. Check your speed rating on your tires, check your hub temps when you make stops and you (probably 😃) will be just fine.
  2. I remember it was said he did something at KState that was keeping keep him from being considered for HC jobs when he was at OU... I looked around sometime later and found an old message board thread about him fooling around with the prominent booster's daughter and the family was pretty pissed and got him fired. Hard to imagine that would keep him from a HC job at most other schools though if he's good at coaching. Unless he forced himself on the girl... Here's the old thread on Venables: https://247sports.com/college/kansas/Board/103723/Contents/Brent-Venables-124736467/
  3. There's rumors out there that this is why Brent Venables isn't welcome back at K-State.
  4. If it's just bikes, there are some bike racks out there bolt onto the trailer tongue... Yeah it adds some pounds to your hitch weight but if it's a pop up I wouldn't imagine the hitch weight is a whole lot to begin with.
  5. My Sabre came with Ridgeways but I haven't had enough time yet to have an opinion on them. They seem ok so far. I used to read the RV forums in Reddit and a few others and I know a lot of people in the RV world stay away from Goodyear alltogether because they say Goodyear covered up a flaw: https://jalopnik.com/goodyear-knew-of-dangerous-rv-tire-failures-for-over-20-1824997252
  6. Not seeing anything about lawsuits yet? But yeah articles I've read says Jones hired a lawyer and is playing the victim...
  7. Campgrounds are already filling up. Wife wanted to take a trip to Arkansas in May, it took some searching but we finally found a spot on the south end of Tablerock Lake close to Branson.
  8. WEN generators on sale right now, I just bought one. I figure I should be able to run one air conditioner (when it warms back up) and everything else in the trailer with this one: https://wenproducts.com/products/wen-56380i-super-quiet-3800-watt-portable-inverter-generator-with-fuel-shut-off The shitty weather got me to thinking it would be nice to have generator just in case, plus I've been wanting one for the trailer as long as we've had a trailer. Got to looking around and decided on the WEN above then just happened to find it on sale at the WEN website, took that as a sign I'm supposed to get it
  9. I bet my plumbing that you'll be fine just blowing out the lines. Just don't forget to run the water pump dry after the water tank is drained. It hasn't been above freezing here in 4 or 5 days (this morning it was 7° when I got up) and I'm not worried about mine.
  10. I'm not too worried about the pex but I'm scared of the fixtures busting. Here's what I do: Flush and drain the black tank, drain the grey tanks Drain the holding tank from the low point, then turn on the water pump and make sure it's pumped itself dry Take the anode out of the water heater and let it drain, then replace it. (I always shut off the water heater when it's parked even though I keep the power plugged in.) Hook up the air compressor (regulated to about 40 PSI) to the city water connection - I homemade a connecter with a ball valve on it, I make sure it's closed when I start I open the closest hot water faucet(bathroom sink) and then open the air valve, then open the cold and shut off the hot, then I work my way through the system to the furthest faucet always having a faucet open while the air pressure is on. Pour 1/2 gallon or so of RV antifreeze down each drain to fill the traps Take out old water heater anode and toss it, replace with a new one, with new teflon tape. I dunno if any or all those steps are necessary but in 4 years I haven't had any trouble so far. Except for one year we went out a little early and had a freeze after our trip, it screwed up the water pump. Oh and you water filter is NFG after it freezes, so remember to replace it after a freeze, I would use a new one every spring anyway...
  11. I'm pretty sure too, he broke his arm if I remember correctly. Sorry, that's what I was referring too.
  12. No. He choked and punched his girlfriend in Stillwater when she was pregnant (with the son that got his arm broke). He was arrested that night. Gundy went to the jail and talked to him and then left him there. He was off the team the next mornling.
  13. In our old bumper pull we've had a fitting bust loose in the bathroom three times(once under the sink and the back of the toilet twice) spraying water everywhere... Luckily all times were at night when we were there. After the first one though I got in the habit of shutting off the water if we were going to be away from the trailer.
  14. The guy probably didn't care for having his every move tracked on flightaware or Texas fans blowing up the internet because of what shirt he wore or his goddamn curtains. Not to mention the creeps bugging his wife on twitter. Creepy ass stalkers... Who wants to come into that environment?
  15. Maybe shop for something aimed at Jeeps? Or just have one custom made at an upholstry shop? I'm guessing you want some custom embroiry that says "Layin' Pipe"
  16. Diesel pump handles are usually green in my experience...

    Fixed it for us OSU fans.
  18. https://www.al.com/sports/2021/01/baylor-ad-addresses-sudden-reversal-on-ryan-pugh-hire.html A google search of Ryan Pugh yesterday pulled up the secrant thread and links to the sbnation article from 10 years ago when this all happened. Was no secret and not that hard to find. I'm sure they found that stuff too before they hired him and are now just trying to cover their ass after they announced the hire and got called out.
  19. My Intro to Prime Movers professor told us when pulling a trailer to walk around and feel the tires at every stop. If there is a problem it will cause friction and heat and that tire will be hotter than the others. He told us it saved his ass one day on a long trip as he found a bearing going out before it actually failed. So I've been in that habit since I was 18 but now adays I walk around with the temp gun and hit the tires and hubs at every stop.
