      I've got another 2 weeks. Of course, as usual the videos from the road will mostly be snippets until I get back to my winter digs. I think I have 101 days out this time.

    Put a tool tube in that space made from a 4” sanitary ABS pipe. Easy to make, economical and screw clamp it to the tongue.

      Robert, I've got a couple of those made up for the awning and tarp poles. Small one for my "raccoon secure" garbage container although the raccoons thought it was great to play with one of the nights at Black Donald. I was thinking that tube would be a good thing there.

      I built 2 for under my leisurelite. I also welded a piece of square tubing onto my tire wrench so I could tighten/loosen the end.

      Sorry to hear it was a difficult winter. Mine just really seemed long. Partially because I worked too much of it. I'm ready to change the pace with travel and camping.

    I've got the same tool box on my big trailer. nice box but it isn't water proof, it comes through at the hinge. drill a couple drain holes to ensure you don't end up with surprise tongue weight going down the road.

    A spare tire should be a must. One flat tire and a tow more than makes up for the extra weight. And what to you think about the AIr Shims?

    • @OldGuyonaBike
      @OldGuyonaBike  5 місяців тому

      The hitch is much beefier on the Goldwing. The extra tongue weight of a spare shouldn't be a problem. I really like the air shims. They are going to save my back this summer.
