Just curious I always thought the trailer little break away battery was charged when the tow rig was hooked and was charging the large house batteries. But... no obvious connection and interesting there is a printed circuit board in the little battery box. Robert

Agree with both of the above, show without tags as they don't add anything remember that they can cost points. Robert

I used corn starch many many years ago on lacquer finishes. But Meguires 205 is quicker and less mess in my opinion with the correct buffer and finishing pad. Robert

If you don’t own a buffer and the proper pad I recommend contacting a detailer who is knowledgeable. I would start with the proper polishing buffer pad and Meguires 205. If success follow up with a light hand application of yellow Carnuba wax but more is being done with the polymers lately but I have a lifetime supply of carnuba paste Robert

Very good advice Matt as that coating isn't durable and isn't correct! Your photo above is about "spot on", maybe just a tick more shine? Oh, on another matter I lost another battery yesterday so have you ridden by the battery place in a few days as some have tried to convince me they reopened! I won't be showing this summer if I have to use a "mega-tron" Robert

I have read that many of the services actually send out and are a "broker" Not saying this doesn't work well but allot don't like that concept. Robert

I am using a Canon 9000F for old 35MM, slides, and 120. Have even successfully done a couple glass negatives that weren't too fogged. All the adaptors work well and the software reasonably will correct most issues. Robert

Well said Robert

Charlie thanks for the tip of calling Mr. Kuhns. We had a nice conversation and that region is very lucky to have a forward thinking person organizing the Grand National event like him. To make a long story real short we were able to work something out that I can live with the logistics. Oh, except I CANNOT bring two cars and am not attempting it here as probably would have the "Fred Sanford' big one if I tried it at this show. Robert

I have two sort of non-driving cars I would like to enter but logistics of two vehicles are almost impossible and they are both in the same class. I would enter one of them as I have been led to believe that there was discussion in Philadelphia of a proceedure whereby a car could be placed on the showfield late Friday afternoon then take the trailer down to the trailer parking lot and drop it off. If this is correct what about picking the car up Saturday afternoon after the show? I realize I am but one entry but I am aware of another recent National award car that the owner has the same driving issues. Robert

ok add me to the list of non-facebook. Where are the photos? Robert

also for consideration should be the large coin matting sold in rolls. Use the correct glue though when applying This is the flooring used in newer trailers. Robert

Victoria I am breaking again my self proclaimed promise not to speak out on the towing issue regarding your car moving adventures but.... there are a few items in that Spyder photo that stand out as not great long distance towing procedures. I applaud you for getting an anti sway and weight distribution system. I strongly recommend getting a load master trailer tongue scale. With weight distribution and equalizer bar systems the trailer tongue weight has to be correct especially on the lighter trucks. Do you know a “dealer” in your area that can sell and install such a system. They can install it and explain the tricks of proper adjustment then when you get to Texas you can load the Snyder where it needs to be for the system and hustle home to Oregon Robert

I see in the approved changes I now have to compete against these cars. Don't think I have ever seen one so my 36B class will be interesting Class 36b...added Westland Empire Aristocrat..1958. Robert

The regional TV stations are not predicting a good traffic situation at times tomorrow even with taking a SEPTA. So.... good luck everyone! I am not far from the area so if seems too bad stop by. Robert

I disagree as I have owned gas tow rigs with the 6.0 and 6.2's and I don't plan on ever going back to that very low mileage and high oil and transmission temperatures. Robert

Thanks for the information Matt Robert

I have read the event information and appears to me conflicting information about trailer parking. Is it at host hotel or several miles away at the campground? Robert

Just received this revised sign photo with more of the car photos that I’ll not comment on at this time

I would suggest all Judges attend this as 36B is usually the largest and always a very competitive class. If I was attending this year I would be there as that class is the only one I show in. Robert

Ditto here also Robert

A friend of mine is a GMC truck dealer owner and I believe he told me so that they can explain to the customer that the circuit is fused and to have the customer be aware of the limitations. I have had to attach that wire on 3 tow rigs! I also charge my two trailer house batteries with that circuit but haven't popped the truck fuse yet! When using my winch I always start the truck to be certain all the power I can get is available to the winch motor. Robert

Victoria I sort of made a resolution to myself not to post anything else on this item after carefully rereading your goal and the fact you are doing what you can with the only truck and trailer you have available to tow those vehicles! If I was closer I would have pitched in to tow one of the heavier cars for you. Anyway what has caused me to respond is this losing air issue. Yes, I believe it is a valve stem or a tire seat issue but I use a simple item to check for many years. The next spray bottle you empty rinse out and put two cap fulls of dawn or similar dish detergent and fill the bottle with water. Spray the rims and stems a couple times a day. This method has proven to be very reliable for me and is quicker that submerging a pressured tire. I haven't seen a small leak yet that it hasn't indicated by a bubble or two. I have other comments but will not burden you with them. Keep on trucking! Robert

That makes two of us interested in that model. Maybe someone could post a sign closeup robert

A properly adjusted Equalizer brand hitch bar system will take care of everything and not affect the stock ride when not towing. Also will allow the trailer to stay level when loaded with that vehicle. Robert
