Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Ummm you know this is why I joined this site, there are things that i do not think of. I did my research and knew that trailer length in Wisconsin could be up to 48 feet and a RV can be up to 45 feet. However, i assumed that they could be up to the combined footage and didnt know there was a limit of 70 feet. Ill have to redo what i was thinking in order to make it work.
States have their own height/Width/Length/Weight restrictions too, so keep that in mind.
There are are no length limits, but most trailers are designed for either single use or multi trailer use and have their lengths adjusted by the manufacturers. https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/publications/size_regs_final_rpt/
They do, but those only come into play when on those respective state highways and other roads, and not federal interstates. Most of the time, state limits on personal vehicles disappear when traveling in a different state. Part of the funding for states upkeep on federal highways is based on ensured travel for larger trucks based on federal limits and not state limits. Regardless though, most states try to stick to what the feds have set out so that there are no battles.
Ok now you got me curious. If you dont mind me asking where are you thinking about going?
I will do that, thanks. The guage works, but I may have a non foaty float....
While not to tell you what to do with your truck, the 927's are kinda rare as it is. I myself am considering getting a 927/8 and building something living situation wise on the stock bed...inside the existing bed dropsides. Shoot me a PM if you like and I'd be happy to pass along my ideas...
There is NO need for air when you bleed your brakes, the system does not need air to push the air out of it, what you do NEED is a power bleeder, a LOT faster, WILL get ALL the air out of the system, and will show if there is any leaks.
Why not create a thread? I’m curious, and given that any ideas would work for my situation I might even use them.
Well, aside from traveling the back roads and trails here, I’ll be doing some “global traveling” with mine through the jungles of Central and South America. I’ve already seen some spots on YT where it would be tough enough just to squeeze the 5 ton through, a really long trailer would make it even more difficult. Along the way I’ll be looking for a new place to call home, so I’ll be traveling the really remote areas and there’s no tellin the condition of even their “good” roads.
Ok now i understand.[FONT=Verdana said:
If it weren’t for my current pickle (the engine rebuild) I’d be all over trying to get AC in my ISO container. One thing at a time though, and it looks like rebuilding my replacement head just got pushed back a month or longer. My RV fridge that I’ve been using has given up the ghost so I’m gonna have to get a new unit this coming month. I don’t forsee having enough extra money to deal with at the same time.
I have had 2 carquest 8D's go bad. One in june. 3 days after its 1yr warranty expired. then 1 went last week. Went to Cummins and got one of their 8D's for half the price
Look into an Aussie fridge. Chest freezer with different thermostat. Inexpensive and very efficient.
If you are interested local hardware stores have Soleus Air® 14,000 BTU 115-Volt Portable Air Conditioner with Heat. so with one unit you have heat and air conditioning plus it pretty cheap. all you have to do is stick the 4 inch exhaust tube out a wall or window. Real easy.
mos68X, this is exactly the unit I was trying to show you before. I apologize on behalf of my stupid Droid.
I run this one in my shop - and yes, they are pretty inexpensive. It's actually a heat pump. So if you use both an inlet hose and out hose out the window (instead of one hose scalping off air from the interior) it is more efficient. It does fine up to about 85 to 90 outside for me. My shop has steel liner both outside and inside so it produces a lot heat in the summer. My 13 foot high ceiling makes for a pretty big space for only 14,000 BTUs. When I was using my garage as a shop (two stalls with 1-1/2 stories) it did a pretty good job.
