Yep that is what I do since installing a 30 gal aux tank. In the past I would need to fill within 200 miles now I can wait till I unhook and set up

I have a short bed and sliding Curt hitch. I need to be on flat ground and straight for it to work the best. A quick short jerk with the gas pedal with the trailer brake on gets it moving. Good luck

Thanks Leonard, that is a great offer, We may be looking after Alaska next year

Mike, I bought one of these a few years back for loading work stuff. Works great and folds nice and flat

We started tracking when we got the Cardinal and have 17,912 in three years with 50K on the truck which I use for work also. Hoping to increase the towing mileage and less for work

Don't think it is an extended pin, the pin is directly under the front of the cap.

We have a short bed with a slider hitch and I was backing without using the slider and have a nice dent on the driver side of the cap Any time I am backing close to a 90 degree I use the slider. Not a big deal once you get use to it

Since I am mostly looking down to where I step I use an orange cone. Started that after I had a bad bump at Yellowstone on the bedroom slide that nearly knocked me out Haven't hit my head since

When I added the aux gas tank I added a 5lb fire extinguisher to the truck. Need to get the triangles, good idea

And how do you like your new truck

Matt, that is good info to have, thanks

My guess is the converter was fa...

We had a Marathon fail on a trip and replaced it. The Marathon tread was nearly half gone on the remaining tires after about 12K miles. This year I replaced all 5 with Michelin XPS RIBS. On the way to the Memphis Rally we noticed that the bird was towing better and felt more stable. Pricy but we fee...

I agree with Mike, my new tank will be for my convenience. 60 plus gallons of gas will get me through a day's drive.
Then set up and go get gas, not having to negotiate the pumps around cars with the bird:thumbrt:

I have been looking for an AUX cas tank for my V10. Transfer-Flow had one 30 for gas for around 2K shiped + installation :( So I was considering Jerry cans to add to my stock 30 gal tank :roll: Found a custom gas tank shop in FL that is building me a 30 gal tank delivered for around $800. It will be...
