KarenLukens Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 So the end of the trail is in sight :) It was supposed to be over today but... The Mercedes has been telling me that I have an emissions problem, so we stopped in Sacramento for a couple of days to get it fixed and because, this is 15 miles from where we usually get service done and Mercedes of Sacramento is owned by the same family as the one that we usually go to in Rocklin, and we have friends at both. AND... there was a huge wreck on the freeway and we didn't feel like sitting in miles of stopped traffic on a Sunday when there was a nice Park close by with full hook ups. While they service our car, they give us a loaner, so we will see what kind of Mercedes we will be driving tomorrow for a day or 2 :) We spent the night last night in the apartment complex where our son and his family live, so we had a chance to visit some of the family and snap a few pics with the grand kids :) Going 6 high isn't recommended on these Camco blocks, but that's because they're used on real heavy trailers also. For a few thousand pounds on one side, I'd feel safe going 8 high if needed but the 6 high here is about the most I've ever used at one time. We're almost home :) 1 Happy Camping, Reed & Karen Lukens with Riffles our Miniature Poodle 2017 Oliver Legacy Elite II Standard, Hull #200 / 2017 Silverado High Country 1500 Short Bed 4x4 Past TV - 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350 4Matic BlueTEC Diesel Click on our avatar pic above to find the videos on our Oliver Legacy Elite II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenLukens Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Tomorrow is the big day that we are going home with the new trailer for the first time. So today, being that we haven't started the generator the entire time, we gave the ice chest a new home instead. We spent a nice week here in Sacramento just enjoying the weather and catching up with our appointments that we had made before we left here in town. It snowed last night at our house and we missed one of the worst Winters on record by traveling to Hohenwald and picking up our New Lil' Nugget. We've almost reached the end of our first journey :) The old Masterlock set works ok on the Bulldog but it's not perfect. I've had it for a few years and it served its purpose once again, but I'm thinking for the best security, I should just pull the 2 bolts and remove the whole hitch because it's just that simple to remove right now and I have a couple of locking hitch pins that can take their place if I make the holes a touch bigger. But for now, that's still in the thinking process. 1 Happy Camping, Reed & Karen Lukens with Riffles our Miniature Poodle 2017 Oliver Legacy Elite II Standard, Hull #200 / 2017 Silverado High Country 1500 Short Bed 4x4 Past TV - 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350 4Matic BlueTEC Diesel Click on our avatar pic above to find the videos on our Oliver Legacy Elite II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
