i have decided to maybe go for the firestone air springs. anyone tried that. People sure do think my brights are on when i have all that in the back and pull the trailer. Which has a tongue weight of 80 lbs.

the teardrop is made by Pleasant Valley Teardrop Trailers in Ohio. It is owned and operated by the amish. They also own Little Guy. The trailer hitch is a Curt Hitch #114472 and it weighs 58 lbs. and can tow as much as 2,000 lbs. I am impressed with our little panel seeing it has 200,000 + miles on it and has pulled this trailer over 39,000 miles.

SS fan; great looking panel by the way. What do you tow with yours? For whatever reason I did not think the SS models could tow anything. I have thought of looking for a SS with the sort of panel feature. Just as an extra ride like i do not have enough now.

very well done capp002. Like what you did to the window visor. Painted Weathertech i presume. That is what i have on mine, cept tinted. I so not like the visors that are taped on always come off.

Looks good Capp, I am planning on towing my 15' aluminum boat. I have 6 of the stick on visors all still where I stuck them, I like the continuous color, with no interruption. I would have bought the SS panel when I had a chance if I knew this one would only get 23-24 mpg. Looks a little different today.....

SS fan,

Any guess what your 15' boat and all will weigh?

I am just starting to put together another small boat package for Salmon saltwater and also Eastern Washington fresh water lakes.
What boat and motor/s do you have.

I have custom built many boats and boat packages over many years.
I assume you fish Pt. Defiance? or is it just Fresh water angling?
