Once again I find myself on the road. Different type of trip this time. The wife's arthritis has been killing her during the TN winters, and she convinced me to play snowbird this year and head to Arizona for the winter. So, I loaded up the 5th wheel, loaded the Dyna on the trailer, and we are heading in that direction. Stopped for a couple of days in Tunica, MS for her to get her casino fix, then back on the road. Was getting low on propane and the nights have been cold, so figured I would fill both tanks at the next campground. Anyone ever try to get propane after dark in TX? It is very hard to do, the DOT sets regulations that made it impossible for me to get any and we wound up staying in a motel Thursday night in Colorado City, TX. We will get to Las Cruces, NM today and stay there for a week to sightsee and to visit an uncle. Then it is on to AZ, probably to Apache Junction, to spend the winter. Any local AZ boys that want to ride with a old geezer from TN, drop me a PM.
I wanted to post a couple of pictures of the trailer I use to tow my Dyna behind the 5th wheel. As any of you know that tow doubles, backing up can be a real problem. Enter the SmarTrailer. A double hitch ensures it stays in line with the 5th wheel and can not jacknife. Swivel wheels allow it to turn with the 5th wheel. Easier to see than to explain. The only thing I don't like about it is that you can not see it behind the 5th wheel. Guess I need to add a rear view camera system. Anyway, I have used it for almost 2 years now and have towed it over 10,000 miles with only tire problems, mostly due to design issues that have been corrected.
Any adverntures I have will be documented in this post from time to time. I am looking forward to a lot more warm weather for riding this winter.
