Tundras live: Dad jokes whether you like them or not (TLDR)

Taco ones or Tundra ones?

 

I think the scarcity is what makes people want them. They're an ok wheel, but overhyped IMO.

 

is $900 a lot to have the RV place install the WDH on the trailer?

 

To buy it and install, no. Just to install- hell no. The only part to install on the trailer is a bracket on each side of the trailer tongue which clamp on with a couple of bolts. The hitch itself just slides into the truck's receiver like normal.

 

So, I'll be pulling into the RV place and driving out with the trailer. I kinda thought it would be easier to have them install the WDH while I'm bullshitting and signing paperwork. I didn't want to buy it and install myself.
I want to get in and out quickly and get the trailer up the park and get settled in. I rented an RV spot in a state park for a week.
I forget what brand they said, but it's the bar type and not the chain.
Are you saying $900 is still a lot to buy it and have them install it?

 

If it includes the hitch and install that's not bad at all. This is the hitch I run:

$775 Equal-i-zer 4-Point Sway Control & Weight Distribution Hitch, 1200/12000 lbs, 90-00-1269, Includes Standard Hitch Shank & Pre-Installed Hitch Ball, Black

Agreed. I’m looking for a set. I think they look great, and they’re forged 17s, so they’re pretty lightweight.

 

I'm pretty sure he said they use Blue Ox. I looked it up and it looks basically the same as the one you have.

 

Made it to the Westside @Blue Thunder
18 was bumper to bumper going East but not bad heading West.

 

If the price includes the WDH, then you are good. Shouldn’t be more than 30-45 min of labor for the garage monkey.

 

Nice! Better get moving to get past JBLM before the traffic hits.

 

Same

 

I pulled the trigger and put a down payment on the trailer. It's the floorplan I want and they only have one. I found another one in VA for almost 2k less, but I don't want to add a day to driving and go that far out of the way to save a few $.
I should be picking it up either 1st thing Mon or Tues, depending on how the trip down goes.

 

Congrats on the new trailer. You have enough time before you pick it up to order everything else you'll need from Amazon like levelers, water regulator, toilet chemicals/pods, etc.

 

Soo pics of your Taco on RWs when?

 

I'd still be more comfortable having a proper hitch shop do the install. RV dealers aren't known for doing it correctly.

 

Leaving Sat morning. I might just grab what I need from Walmart or Tractor supply, etc. The only things I think I need for this trip are wheel chocks, the 30 amp whip and the regulator. They'll probably have that at the RV place. Might be a few $ more though. But, maybe not. Prices seem to be decent down there, compared to up here in the soviet socialist republic of NY.

 

I'm bringing some basic tools with me. It's a 20 min drive from the RV place to the camp ground. I'll go over it and make sure it's good to go before hauling it 1200 mi back home, for sure.

 

If your camp site is level, you'll be good. My hitch came with instructions on how to set it up but I had the hitch shop do it partially because the street in front of my house is on a slope.

 

Fuk,.....I'm a trailer weirdo now.

 

Should be (hopefully).
It's a large state park with RV pads and hookups.

This is a vid of the model (Not the exact one I'm buying) but he lifts the sofa and you can see the fresh water tank.
Should be relatively easy to do the mods I want. Sawzall and hold my beer.
