Car Hauler Question

[Falcon67]

LOL, same here.  460, 4.10 rear.  10 MPG empty, 6.75 towing @ 64 MPH (2000 RPM).  Just loafing along in OD.  Going through DFW with that rig is like flying a star freighter though a Star Wars deep space battle scene.

LOL!   You should try my Mack through some of the construction zones around here.  My g/f just closes her eyes

More like DEstruction zones. I think they're permanent traffic inhibitors that were designed by the Russian government to impede our progress. They go on for years and years...and years.

[BattlestarGalactic]

Well..it falls into our two seasons:  Winter and Road Construction............

Well you guys should come and try my roads, that keep you from complaining on Ohio roads

Have any of you guys tried a wireless backup camera on these trailers with the aluminum shells?  Does it work OK with all that metal?

[BattlestarGalactic]

I've contemplated getting a unit for mine, but most don't say they work far enough for my 40ft trailer and 20ft truck?  Most say like 20-30 ft.  I haven't look that hard though lately.

I suppose you could get a hard wired version and just put a plug at the trailer hitch?

Detour signs are an acronym for "mandatory route to take you 30 miles out of your way"

At least your states repair the roads...In Ca. they just collect our taxes and it goes into the black hole of the "General Fund" Our roads are in deplorable condition due to years of neglect. BTW with Gov Moonbeam's new $.12/gal-$.20/diesel added gas tax [on top of the current $.18 cent gas/ $.24 cent diesel it is now the 2nd highest in the nation, Penn. is just a penny or 2 higher. With that new gas tax also came with a huge vehicle registration fee increase, average about $50. more a year depending on the age of the vehicle. Ca. overall gas tax totals about $.75/gal which makes our special Calif. blend gas about $1.00 more than the national average. We're paying on average about $3.90/gal for 87 octane.

Sure, but at least California can fund its 'immigrants for votes' program

In Michigan that sign would say "Road work never ends"

Every year they put out the cones and signs - it's like any big holiday - they decorate with lights and trimmings for a few weeks and then put them back away for another year.  Nobody ever really repairs a road....

[BattlestarGalactic]

In Ohio, they at least put "Bump" or "Rough road" signs up to make sure you are aware that it's in horrible condition and they have no plans to fix it.  Well, they did  fixed it by putting a warning sign up.

Here in Ca we call 'em undocumented Democrats.
