    First time buyer questions

    Ditto above - also make sure that on whatever property you plan to park the Deuce you are allowed to by any zoning restrictions, neighborhood or HOA, etc. Good luck - welcome and I am sure if you search you can find the other info you are looking for on SS.

    Do you need a CDL for a 5 ton

    I can just SEE the protests if States attempted to remove the RV exemptions..... circles of RVS.....awnings out.....slide outs extended.....leveling jacks pushing mushrooms into the asphalt..... why, it would look like a Walmart parking lot !

    We need a unified voice

    The other issue with the MVPA is that a lot of younger people are NOT getting involved. SS has a good mix, and that could benefit this effort.

    We need a unified voice

    Good discussion First: It is always a challenge with volunteer/membership organizations to "speak with one voice". The "mission statement" needs to be clearly defined so that all reasonable expectations are incorporated. Second: Either through existing established 501C3 or like organizations...

    My first M923a1 - no title

    Not only get a refund but consider reporting him to your State DMV because he is most likely violating statutes and regulations. Also your state consumer protection/fraud department. Never, EVER, EVER buy a vehicle without a title in hand, (unless it from someone like GL where you can obtain...

    Ft. McCoy M1008 Recovery 4/2/12

    Congrats of a successful recovery and thanks for sharing!

    MV Code of Conduct

    It would be great to field an escort vehicle front/back advising "convoy ahead", "convoy follows" however since driver's have no understanding of appropriate behavior (just like cutting into the middle of a funeral procession), it is to little point. Plus many smaller convoys don't have the...

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    But for non tankers like my low deck it should be OK?

    Do you need a CDL for a 5 ton

    More fuel on the burning fire..... Try and find a FEDERAL definition of "commercial" or "in commerce". It is vague. In FLORIDA, statutes and definitions conflict (go figure the legislature....). Generally, in law, commercial means "in commerce" and that means "in furtherance of a business...

    Tyndall AFB, FL - recovery

    Couple of MVPA guys in the greater Ocala area (did you go to the Feb show @ Markets of Marion??) - I am sure one of them has a milspec towbar you could borrow - do you know them?

    Tyndall AFB, FL - recovery

    Now Ray...of course if I were closer I could take some of the new paint of that fine tow bar I picked up from you last Saturday and go for a joy ride in the 931 LOL Steve

    Tyndall AFB, FL - recovery

    (1) What were you planning on going to get it with - a driver in a POV and your intention is to drive it home? Panama City to Ocala is a "fair run". (2) Without knowing the driveability (especially air system, which can also impact ability to tow) - what is your backup plan? (3) What is your...

    MV Code of Conduct

    I recall that perhaps the MVPA deployed a convoy "rules of the road" or the like - dealing with speed, headlights on, distance between vehicles, progression through traffic control devices (lights, etc). I know that on their long schedule convoys (Alaska upcoming) they have some very specific...

    My truck is on gl.

    I found a GPW (42) that went into the service by it's data plate on the day my Dad turned 18 and joined the army air corps (15th AF), October 1942. The same day...... I bought it, remarked it with his bomb group numbers from photos from the airfield in Italy - when I display it, I have his...

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    My 931 has the fixed tactical 5th wheel. As I have run goosenecks for years that, by design, can be beneficial off/on road, and have a single action (in other words, not a road position (fixed) and an off-road position (flexible), I am wondering why one couldn't (shouldn't?) run the tactical 5th...

    Road trip Florida to Ft Jackson SC

    Yikes - and especially if it is avoidable. Sometimes stuff just breaks, but it is great to share info on what maybe NOT to do so stuff doesn't happen. I don't plan any long road trips (not at any sustained 2100 RPM) - more local, shows, etc. But good intel!

    Road trip Florida to Ft Jackson SC

    Thanks for the heads up. Her speed fluctuated a lot during the trip, but good info to know.
