PEAK PUTTERS

Maybe the Escape Hybrid?

I read it will be based on the Ford Ranger that they are bringing back to the USA in 2019

They are also talking about a new Grand Wagoneer in maybe 2020, or 2021. The leaked photos look like a big Grand Cherokee. Hopefully they change it to look like the Classic one...

Found this at work today. What is it?

If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, its a duck.

Definitely duck

I hope she finds her way home or makes a nice meal for someone.

Gonna try a set of Maxxis radial trailer tires on the flat bed. Supposedly, they make a heavy duty trailer tire in class D or E 8-10 ply rating.

Farewell good friend. You have been a great little motorhome. I hope the next owner enjoys you as much as we did.

A small class A we ran across. 30'. Same year and miles as ours. But it has a walk around bed, and a couch.

Home away from home is home. Only 4.5' longer than the class C, but it sure seems a lot bigger. Trailer brake controller, CB radio, and 2 new led tv's came with.

Specs please.

2005 Holiday Rambler Admiral se 30pdd.
F53 chassis with Ford V10 36,000mls. Peaked aluminum roof, smooth aluminum exterior walls, solid oak cabinetry. 1 owner. Everything is more solid than the old one, but it's heavier with the same engine. I won't be getting up the hills as fast!

nice dave.

Good, solid setup. I like the way they built their coaches. The aluminum sides and top are about as close to an Airstream type build that you can get, which is a rock-solid construction.

If it doesn't have a rear sway bar, you may want to add one. Lots of good feedback about improved handling when you add it to this chassis. I have also heard good things about the Banks kit for the v10.

Al, was that just the motorhome?
On the way home from Camp Shamp I scaled ours.
16,940 lbs. Motorhome axles
22,080 lbs. Combined MH/Jeep/trailer

Added my own quick connect fitting with shut off valve to that T fitting on the hauler. Modified the regulator (got rid of it) so I can run my Coleman Roadtrip grill off the RVs propane system. Actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. Used the high density tape for the fittings and lots of soapy water to check for propane leaks. Good so far.

Banks Kit for the V-10? My wife is going to hate you.

Hmm, I have a capped pipe with a shut off valve on the downstream side of the regulator on the motorhome's propane tank. I may have to do this mod. Nice work Rob!

Testing. Testing. System check/shakedown run close to home. So far so good.
