Re: Torklift Lower StableLoads on a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 towing a Lance 1575
A final wrap-up - Towed up and over Donner Pass (7,000+') today with the rig completely loaded (including our 5th wheel chest full of 3 cases of H2O, half a case of ale, generator, gas, etc.... Rock solid! For our truck and TT lower StableLoads are perfect! Here are a few shots taken at the Gold Run rest area near Colfax, CA on I-80 (The Love's semi dwarfs our rig, ha) -

A final final wrap-up - I have left them engaged/in place while we are unhitched for day trips. Definitely a bit stiffer ride, but truly not too bad. It would take less than 3 minutes to disengage all 4 StableLoads, but since the unloaded ride isn't that bad we are keeping them engaged between tows. Great product!

Re: Smarter Tools 2000iQ Generator
Oops, I almost forgot a few other modifications/info that you'll need! 1) Generator Hour Meter Link ( easy mod to make, just wrap the wire around the spark plug wire and secure it well) 2) A nice cover (Yamaha 2000 covers fit perfectly!) 3) Link for the dipstick and magnetic plug 4) A few extra Spark Plugs (these are the correct ones) I also broke my generator in, for 20 hours (not all at once) and then I changed the oil (Yamalube) Don't let the burning credit card scorch yer buttocks!

Re: Big E's List Of Recommended Camping Stuff
I will, and do cook bacon, when camping (good bacon, as Jacster will agree )....but I will start the day before I leave, and broil about 3 lb and not totally finish it ,and let it cool and wrap it in a paper towel and put it in a bread bag or zip lock bags and keep in the fridge....then when It's time to start the Genny for a battery boost in the morning, I will Micro some ....cost far less(well maybe not) then buying the pre-cooked, and (but) is usually better. once it is all though I will...

Re: 1st Annual Great Plains Gathering
The response for this gathering has been great! We now have 26 participants, and we are full. If there are people who would like to attend but have not yet registered let me know by posting on the discussion thread. I will start a waiting list, and then if someone who has reserved a space cannot attend for some reason, you can take that party's campsite. Click HERE to go to the discussion thread.

Re: 1st Annual Great Plains Gathering
We would be interested in attending. Please let us know if a site comes up. We are new to this group and are looking to find this type of events.
Comment
Re: 1st Annual Great Plains Gathering
if I may try to help people attend the rally, be advised that the loop is full, and there is no longer a waiting list being held by the organizer. From this point on, it is up to individuals to act quickly if and when a site comes available because of a cancellation. Fortunately, there is a feature on ReserveAmerica where they will notify by email, all who request to be so advised if there is a cancellation. ReserveAmerica will email simultaneously, all who have asked for this to happen.

Jackalope, if the process below worked for you, then you have beaten the world to newly available Site 43! Isn't that cool? Glad it worked out for you. We hope to see you there.

Re: 1st Annual Great Plains Gathering
I have been wanting to go to Nebraska for a while. Looking forward to finding out where this is going to be! My rig is a 2013 Ford Explorer pulling our 2017 1575.

Re: 1st Annual Great Plains Gathering
Earthwatcher - Location of the event is included in the discussion thread and can also be found at http://outdoornebraska.gov/ponca/ which is the site I used to reserve my spot. It looks like there are quite a few nice camp grounds along the Missouri River that I also searched on. I suspect I'll be headed back again to this general area for additional discoveries.

Don't forget that Nebraska requires a state permit to camp, fish, and hunt. Permits are valid through 12/31/2017. I purchased mine at: https://ngpc-permits.ne.gov/NG...faces/public/welcome Permit prices are lower for Nebraska plated vehicles.

Re: 1st Annual Great Plains Gathering
Jackalope, Please accept my apology for not seeing your post earlier. I have watched the 1st Annual Great Plains Gathering thread daily, but have forgotten to watch this one. Most of the activity is on that thread. Anyway, I am glad you were able to snag that spot, and I'm looking forward to seeing you there. You may want to read what is on that thread if you have the time. It is quite lengthy. Here is a recap of the events and instructions. It's fairly loosely organized. Thursday Sept. 21:...

Re: 1st Annual Great Plains Gathering
NEW INFORMATION: The 1st Annual Great Plains Gathering will meet in the Oak Bluff Campground at Ponca State Park in northeast Nebraska. This is a beautiful area of rolling hills, forest, and cropland along the Missouri River. The Oak Bluff Campground is well shaded and protected from wind. The sites are relatively close together, so we will be able to go between them easily. I will try to figure out how to insert a link to Reserve America to make it easy to reserve a site, but in the mean...

Thanks. I'm looking at how to fix it, and I'm not getting anywhere. I'll keep tinkering.

Re: DeeZee Red Label Fifth Wheel Utility Chest (DZ8560WB)
A final wrap-up - I cannot believe how spacious this 5th wheel chest is! Everything, but a single ice chest fit in the chest and we are on a trip that has us bringing everything, but the kitchen sink. Nothing extra in the TT and nothing at all in the truck cab. 3 cases of H2O, half a case of ale, generator, gas can, step stool, bike helmets, baseball gloves, and on and on. It's like having a trunk in a truck. Weatherproof and lockable as well.

Of course, Texas is part of the Great Plains! Tell your "friend" to make a reservation and join us for a relaxing get-together. More info on the Discussion Page .

Re: Great Plains Gathering 5 - Casual Get-Together
The cost will be a donation, typically the ask if $5 per camping unit. This covers the cost of renting the pavilion ($80 total there) and anything else that we do as a group. We have not decided if there will be a potluck supper this year or not. I want to wait to see what the states are saying around that time frame. One suggestion has been a "Bring Your Own Supper" and join us in the pavilion to eat. That way no one has to worry about multiple people handling the same serving spoons, etc.

Re: Great Plains Gathering 5 - Casual Get-Together
I like the "...bring your own supper*..." idea, but IMHO, I would think it would be Ok if folks wanted to bring something to share - like cookies, bars...etc. Hard to say what changes "they" might recommend between now and then. Outdoor events haven't been hampered much to date. "Easygoing...", I agree, folks should feel comfortable to just enjoy the weekend surrounded by fellow Lancers - whether that means gathering close with others, or connecting from a bit further away...either is fine.

Well poop! We have to cancel. I thought Sherry and I would be there for sure. I have a follow up on oral surgery (tooth extraction due to root canal going bad) on the 21st and with the urologist on the 27th (not related to the 🦷 ). Roadie and I just bought a 2018 1062 a couple of weeks ago and wanted to pick everyone’s brain,,, in person! Y'all have fun. Maybe next time. Dave
