Cardinal RV Club

Mopar, We use a short bed pickup. Our trailer won't clear the cab in a sharp turn. We have an automatic sliding hitch, that I like very well. When I sign off, you will see just what we run. Dana is correct. Our tank is 35 gallons. If we want to go places without the trailer, it is convenient to driv...

If you are just concerned with the black tank, a big handful of rock salt will protect you from freezing down to near zero. That will allow you to use the toilet on the road. Roy & JoAnn

Nice looking late model Cardinal on I-40. We were west bound out of Texas and into New Mexico about 10 miles at 12:35 p.m. We saw the east bound beauty! Halloween afternoon.

We had our air conditioner compressor lock up and fry the serpentine belt while we were in Goshen. I guess 252,000 miles is not too bad! We got some smoke, but no fire. When the belt gets dragged over a locked up pulley, it gets hot in a hurry! I can understand the fire issue with the water pump! It...

Met a Cardinal today ( April 5 ) on I-35 @ milepost 162 south of Ottawa, Ks. They were going south. We were headed north. 4:50 pm We have since made it home!! Roy & JoAnn

We met a Cardinal in New Mexico on I-40 @ milepost 323 about 1:10 pm today ( Monday 4/4 ) ! Brown Ford tv. They were headed west, we were going east ( toward Missouri and home ). Roy & JoAnn

Missouri highway 13 at Osceola, Missouri about 3:20 p.m. Friday. Nice looking Cardinal ( newer than ours ) heading north. We were going south. Roy & JoAnn

Les, we have a Pullrite Superglide, also. It sure is nice to not think about trailer / truck interference. The truck and trailer do have to be fairly close to straight alignment to hook or unhook. We have not had any real problems with that after eight years of use. We have always been able to jocke...

Monday p.m. about 2:20 on US hwy 65, mile post 22. We were north bound. Met a full paint Cardinal going south. Then about mile 26, we met a south bound Blue Ridge. Wow, two in less than 5 minutes !! We had just left Branson and they were probably just arriving. Roy & JoAnn

Aug. 6 Illinois, Indiana border on I-70 10:08 AM. Then Hwy 31 north of Indianapolis about 30 miles about 1:00 PM. Oddly, both Cardinals we met were going the wrong direction to attend the F.R.O.G. Roy & JoAnn

Hey, sailrguy, JoAnn and I stay at Tower Point! We will show up about November 1. Our space is H-49. I will try to look you up. Our preferred route from Kansas City, Mo is: I-35 to Wichita, Ks, then Hwy 54 across Kansas to Tucumcari, Nm, then I-40 to Holbrook, Az. Then to Heber and Payson. The trip ...

March 26, Strafford, Texas. Intersection of 287 and 54. Tow vehicle was a big, red otr tractor. 2pm we were eating in Subway and saw the rig go by. Trailer looked a lot like ours. Roy & JoAnn

I 40 in New Mexico very close to the continental divide @ mile 50. We were headed east. Spotted the Cardinal going west. Must have been about 2pm. Have a happy trip! Roy & JoAnn

Yesterday in Mesa, Az @ Higley & Southern. Is there any significance that you were heading north?

Look at the length of that torque wrench! How much torque do the head stud nuts get? I'm just curious. We had an automotive machine shop in Lee's Summit, Mo. That's what I retired from. I am really interested in your progress. Thanks for the pictures. Roy & JoAnn
