Wow, Awesome setup.
I guess we just need to have you follow us around on trips.

Ya, that's about all I don't have, a air compressor. I have this 12v Viair that's impressive, blew up a G rated 5er tire to 100psi. A york would be nice. I, like mentioned above, don't like to relay on help and getting ripped off. My wife a couple of times asked me if she should call a tow truck and I've said "not yet, there are a few more things I want to try". The only time I've called for a tow truck is when I blew up my trans. Blew it up good, I was ten miles from where I was going and wanted to make it, LOL.

Myself I'd rather have an electric pump like the Viair you've got than a belt driven one, if nothing else for ease of install. Which pump do you have Glenn?

Aw, come on chase, gotta have a little fun modding the york in place. I could see that working ok for Glenn, airing tires, etc, I'm looking to use it more, so MORE POWER with the york.

Now I smell what you're stepping in. Someday I'd like to on-board air with an electric pump.

A 1/2 long breaker bar with a 15mm socket and/or a 18mm socket, these will fit the belt tensioner,.

Oh, I forgot to mention, a five foot breaker bar and a come-a-long. That's in case you break the leaf springs on your 5er. Ask me how I know.

Hi Glen,

What do you do with that set up, interplanetary travel? That is huge. I can't say I've noticed any thing like that on the road. Must be tough at drive thru atm's.

Ha, that's funny. That was my setup last summer and I pulled it for 11K. I'll never do that again because you just can't back up. I hated planning ahead, I got stuck once in a parking lot that I knew went thru the last summer. There was construction on the other end of the parking lot and I was screwed. I had to remove the trailer and that thing isn't light. I pulled ahead and started turning around. Had to make several tries to get it turned around. The only help I got was a UPS man, on my last back up, he guided me. Then pulling out the parking lot I had to back up, turn the trailer around and hook it up. My back hasn't been the same sense, LOL. I've seen a few trailers that have swivel wheel on it, I'm going to investigate them. Now I just carry a rack on the back with two honda generators, four marine optima batteries and a convertor.
