    07/20 - 07/22 - La Conner, WA

    Definitely. Air bags help, plus the dealer also suggested TorqLift StableLoads. Warren

    07/20 - 07/22 - La Conner, WA

    This is our first camper. We did have a 26' trailer (the one we took to Baja) that we sold a couple of years ago but we bought the camper so we can pull the 22 behind eventually. I've been dealing with a lot of fatigue issues since my cochlear implant ex-plant in 2010, which is why you haven't...

    We will not be able to make the CBGT after all. We will be picking up our new Arctic Fox camper in Oregon that weekend. :( :D Warren

    05/18 - 05/20 - 2012 Friday Harbor CBGT

    Lori has gone to Salt Lake and I don't have the boat in the water yet due to house projects. I was hoping to take the ferry over for a quick visit on Friday evening but the ferry schedule and the dinner schedule don't mesh too well so just know I'll be thinking of you guys Friday evening! Hope...

    What is your tow vehicle / what's a good price for a trailer

    I have a 3/4 ton GMC crew cab with the Duramax diesel and Allison transmission. It's the best truck I have ever owned. I suspect more Brats own Fords, though. I concur with the recommendations to talk to Marc for your trailer needs. Warren

    non boating dog question. invisible fence

    Tom, I have had some experience with invisible fences at my mother's house in Utah. One issue was that one of her dogs was deaf so could not hear the warning sound that alerts the dog that s/he is approaching the fence. The other is that if the motivation is sufficiently strong to the dog, s/he...

    Hitch for camper pulling 22

    Brent, it's an 8' camper on a 6.5' bed, so there is 18" of extension required. Does that change your thinking? Jim, totally agree on driving conservatively with the 2500 non-dually. That is one of the compromises I alluded to. Warren

    Hitch for camper pulling 22

    When I was talking to the Everett dealer he was pushing me hard to go with this Torklift hitch. The way he was pressuring me and the blanket statements he was making about the hitch requirements for the 22, combined with how he tried to bully me into buying from him, have made me suspicious...

    Advice needed re: RV purchase

    Thanks to all of you who have weighed in with advice. Much appreciated, and pretty much in line with my own thinking. Roger, the camper I am looking at is indeed an Arctic Fox. I did look at the Lance, Bigfoot, etc. and settled on the AF for a number of reasons, including more room in the head...

    Advice needed re: RV purchase

    Hey, everyone -- I have been busy with work and have not been on the site for quite some time, but I just signed up for Friday Harbor and LaConner. In other news, I am in need of advice regarding an RV purchase. This is a camper for my truck. I got a price from a dealer in OR that is in the...

    RescueMax Inflatable Manoverboard System

    Hey, Brent -- I saw that also and am wondering what you and Dixie have worked out in case you are in the water and unable to assist her in getting you back on board? Warren

    01/27 - 01/29 - Seattle boat show and C-Brat Gathering

    Lori and I are planning to attend the Taproom gathering on Friday night, weather permitting. However, we are going to drive to Snoqualmie and back home that night. We will not need to take the bus, so there should be seats for everyone now. We are not going to the SBS and will have to miss the...

    Decraguard needed

    Patrick, I might part with a couple of small pieces but it was so hard to get in the first place and unless Dave is going to supply it to the Brats on a regular basis I want to hang on to most of what I have. Warren

    Tulalip Cabellas

    Wow, great news that we will have a Cabela's closer to us. Anyone not from Utah want to take a shot at how to pronounce Toole (a city west of Salt Lake)? Warren

    Orion aerial flare recall

    I haven't been too active on the site lately so thought for sure someone had posted this but no. Apparently certain models of Orion flares have been recalled. Details HERE. Warren

    01/27 - 01/29 - Seattle boat show and C-Brat Gathering

    OK, so I was not planning to go to the SBS this year but the shindig at the Tap Room is too good to pass up. I am planning to arrive at the hotel midafternoon on Friday, ride up and back on the bus, and then head home (i.e., not be there for the SBS or the potluck/swap.) Lori hopes to come if...

    Motorola Droid Razr - Verizon

    I have it and mentioned it in another thread. Very polished, but the watch face displays take a bit of deciphering. I go to the text display if I need to know specifically what time the sun comes up or whatever. It's a fun app to have, and for $2 why not? Warren

    Outboard(s) Up or Down ?

    Les, if I wanted to remove my props (for security) for the winter and the boat is going to sit outside, what would be the preferred way to protect the prop shafts? Thanks, Warren
