Wallrat Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 I never worried about my old little trailer but this weekend will be my first trip to the sand since I got my big trailer. Do you guys air down your tires on your trailer as well as your truck? Trailer is probably around 2400 lbs loaded and has 2 axles. I'll have an onboard air compressor so airing back up is not a problem. Quote
pimp559 Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 It really depends on the sand condition. My friend pulls a 28ft toy hauler without airing down the tires. He doesn't usually get stuck unless the sand is real dry and soft. Since you got air you might as well let a little out. Its easier to air down than it is to dig out. Quote
tsuther78 Posted September 19, 2004 Report Posted September 19, 2004 I would have to agree, its all about teh sand conditions. I never really have had a problem getting a trailer in the sand. But the camping area in Gordons is alot firmer than the riding area. Whenever we take the trucks out to play we air the tires down. I would say just air the tires in the truck down. You should not have to worry about the trailer. And if it only weighs 2800lbs, you can just drag the damn thing. Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 Just leave them air'd up, no need to let them down. Looked for you at the show Fri - but never saw you, bummer. When's your first trip to Glamis? We'll have to hook up again. Quote
Wallrat Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Posted September 21, 2004 When's your first trip to Glamis? Hey I'm always up for it as long as it ain't 110 degrees. When are you gonna try Dumont? Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Been there, just prefer Glamis as Dumont is so small and can be dagnerous on a busy weekend. Planning a trip (to Glamis) the 2nd or 3rd weekend in Oct. Quote
Wallrat Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Posted September 22, 2004 Figures, I work both of those weekends. I've got the 2 after that off but I think one of those is Halloween. I'll be in Pismo this weekend - now you wanna talk about small... Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 We'll be doing plenty of trips this season, we'll get together some time. Travis bought a new truck, toy hauler, and sand rail, so needless to say he's chomping at the bit to go out too. We may end up going out Halloween too. Have a good time at Pismo. Quote
