I think I finally have my trailer where I want it. I am ready for the track now.

Lights are in, ready for generator power, walls and roof are insulated, E track everyplace, 2 storage boxes and a cubby hole for the spare rims

 
Well, here is Ashe at 3:00 today -- freezing his ass off in New Hampshire.

Hopefully he and FJRed will have just arrived back in VT for the evening.

Nice trailer! I see that it isn't the racing that's expensive, it's all the enabling support equipment.

Nice shots, did you take those Alan? Mt. Washington? NICE. Keep goin' Jeff! Enjoy the ride and be safe. Who says Yanks don't have hospitality? Still don't see that rebel flag on the moose posted here yet :shout:

 
All that conduit for the wiring must have cost a small fortune. Nice setup though. just needs a bad-ass generator and a rooftop A/C unit so you can relax in comfort between races.

Hey Fencer,

I helped a guy setup his MX trailer with an on-demand tankless water heater piped directly to a low-flow shower head. His generator is rated at 6,000 watts. I wired the water heater on LOW POWER for 3,500 watts of heat, which at the calculated 1.0 to 1.2 GPM flow rate, produces a superb 90-100F water temp at the shower head from a holding tank of water.

Used a basic centrifugal flow pump with a pressure cutoff switch to trigger the pump. Works great. No idea if you need a shower at the track or not, but if you do... shoot me a PM and I'll hook you up with all the details.

VERY NICE trailer setup you got there. I gladly relinquish my Trailer Queen crown.

:)

Jeffro, is that to say you just want to be a Queen now? :rolleyes:

Jeff is no Trailer Queen, he is studly and has the coveted "I Climbed Mt. Washington" bumper sticker to prove it. Don't mess with da man! (If you have never climbed Mt. Washington you haven't earned at least one of two balls.) ;)

Further, he will still take his taco chips and race ya to the salsa bowl. BTDT. Only lost 2 fingers.

Hey there DirtBro. I'm just trying to shed some layers of old skin. You know, stop and take pictures, make entire trips without performance awards, that sorta thing. I just can't afford the price of BOTH gas and lawyers.

Man, I was hoping nobody noticed my "aggressive appetizer munching". About halfway through that bowl of chips, I myself realized that I was doing some serious munching. You know it's BAD when you catch your ownself at bad behavior.

I'm sorry for the bad manners! I WAS taught to share with others.

:)

 
Personally, I think that "Haulin' a Trailer" Ashe relinquished his crown some time ago. Jeff definitely rides alot & rides hard... rarely haulin' the trailer.

There are too many newbs asking questions about tiedowns & such. It seems to me that they're the ones now wearing the crown.

PS... nice trailer Kevin
