Cardinal RV Club

One big feature to keep in mind, and makes me appreciate Dennis’ talent; the original truck was a 2 door standard cab. He found a second truck, cut it apart, married them to create the dual cab and stretched the frame to accommodate the modifications. I think the yellow badge between the doors “Cust...

That is BEAUTIFUL! Dennis is such a craftsman and a perfectionist. I envy his talents. I cannot wait to see it.

Very informative Don. I learned some things. Thanks.

I am not familiar with the product. The need to change filters after is interesting. It must really clean the pipes. It seems like it is meant as an occasional/one time cleanse rather than an additive used at fuel stops. I think if we purchase clean algae free, water free fuel from good dealers we w...

Wow! How many miles on the “old” one. It looks brand new. Dodge beefed up horsepower and torque last year. The new one will out perform the old one, if that seems possible. Can’t wait to see it.

Mike, That is true about most things. That is why our trailers are so heavy. LOL.
I have been stuck before, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, in sand sunk to the axle . It was not fun. Oh yes, the trailer was hitched up when I did it. Cindy wouldn't push it either.

I have a 2 wheel drive. I have no need for 4x4 or the expense and maintenance involved. As far as payload, the salesman was correct. A 4X4 has a 500 or 600 lbs. less payload rating because the weight of transfer case and front axle makes the truck that much heavier. Consequently they reduce the payl...

Naw Marv. They looked like they might be headed south for the Winter, hence, "Snow Birds". I live in "S___" Bird land.

I caught another "new" Cardinal 40 footer +/- being towed by a "new" White Dodge Ram, E/B I-210 through San Bernardino,CA area toward I-10 in Redlands. It was about 11:30 A.M. Wednesday 10/23/19. They had "SnowBird" look written all over their faces. Lucky Dogs! (~~) :-H

Elkhart RV Park is nice also. It is located in town, close to things. FYI, the area has hard water.

We saw a new Cardinal (3250?) being towed by a new white Ford, e/b on I-210 in San Bernardino, CA this morning at 8 a.m. where ever they were headed it is going to be hot. Marv?

Rick, Do you mean Dave Palmer? Sounds like Richard Bettis was not far behind. They were both eastbound after the rally.
Dave, How did Richard’s custom roof look after a day on the road?

I doubt if any rally folks made it Amarillo way by this morning when you saw them Rick. Certainly not Santa. He was landing near Albuquerque. Many were Colorado bound. It was a great rally by the way.

Not yet. Most folks stayed over for the free day at the park. Stay 6 get the 7th free. This morning is the exodus to all parts.

Earnie is on a good idea. Much simpler to replace than my answer. You asked about something ahead of the transmission. Those all require removing the transmission just to inspect. The Carrier bearing is midway on the driveshaft and can be inspected by crawling under the truck. It supports a long sty...
