Same here. I'm south of Rapid City about 10 minutes. No T-Mobil, only AT&T.

Talk about putting the cart before the horse. Lol. My wife's late uncle had a small TT he would take to races. As he became sick, it sat in storage for a few years. We recently found out the he left it to her. It's a couple hours south of me, so I spent some time trying to get eyes on the thing. It was difficult getting info or trying to figure out what kind of shape it was in. I couldn't even get the model number! The one thing I was told was that it needs tires. Found a local shop and ordered a set of tires. I got the keys to it, drove down yesterday, pulled all 4 rims (thanks cordless dewalt impact) and got tires. I'm very pleased with the condition. A little rough around the edges, but all in all a great starter trailer for us. The inside also needs a good clean, but everything so far seems to be in good working order. Now I guess ill need a truck. Lol

Thanks Adam. It has cleaned up real well! I got a little spoiled bringing it home with a 6.4 550. Would've used one of the new 6.7's but I needed the CC for the family.

Yessir. And the walls/roof are hard. Not canvas like a pop up.

Looks like a ton of fun Todd, good going! Yep, tires are always #1.


As far as my OX crapping out on me, my company left so I jumped on it. Fifteen minutes later it was running good. I just pulled the plugs to the valve covers and cleaned them up. All the contacts looked like new so I put some grease on them and put it together. Ran good on the test drive, ya!!

Glenn by any chance did the connectors happened to have oil or moister on them?

Thanks Bryon, love those easy fixes! All I can guess is some dirt or something got in the plug. I don't know how because those seals look pretty good.


That's what so strange Adam, didn't see anything in there!

No wonder Glenn you didn't see anything not even the pins lol.... just messing around maybe a loose connection or moister was in there? Glad you got it sorted out.
