It's funny how fast things can Change...

[kep-up]

You are right about how things can change.

After riding single track motorized vehicles for over 50 years, and a Spyder RSS for 4 years, and having been retired for 2 years, I have been on the lookout for a luxury pop-up for my wife and myself to enjoy. something we can toss the bicycles on top of or the kayaks and go out with the dog for a couple of days and simply relax. She has not been a lover of riding either motorcycles or spyders and this way she and I can enjoy time spent together during our waning years. Needless to say, the RSS may be on the alter of sacrifice for this all to happen comfortably.

Time moves on and things change...……………

Along with that, one of my grandsons is interested in becoming involved with a competition trap league. Popop has sorta kinda volunteered to help with travel to and from competitions and the trailer would be rather handy in that. A whole lot more so than the spyder.

Hard-sided pop-ups are much more secure, and warmer at night... :thumbup:
Happy Shopping!

So.. how much towing capacity does that thing have? Because the natural progress would be to ask if it can tow a trailer with a Spyder on it.

 

[Bob Denman]

Just about 4,000 pounds... more than enough! :yes::yes::yes:

You want to pull a travel trailer / toy-hauler with a Rav-4? NO WAY!

I believe that was the point being made with the comment about the bumper.:dontknow:

 

[Machinegunner]

Bob, are you going to still be on Spyderlovers??? We all need your comments. Things do change. My son found my original Mr. Norm's 1971 Dodge Demon and bought it. Since then, I bought a plum crazy 1969 Barracuda notchback. Something to expand the use of what free time I have. Have stay active. Good luke my friend with what ever you do.

You're right. I mis-read it. Thanks.

 

[LeftCoast]

:agree: :thumbup:
But a lot of the more compact Class C rigs are now coming on a Ford Transit Chassis.


Their little 5 cylinder Turbo diesel; puts about 25 more foot-pounds of torque under your right foot...

You obviously did your research, mind if I ask why you picked the Mercedes over some of the other options out there?

 

[Bob Denman]

Truthfully: it came down to getting the floorplan that we felt would best suit our needs.
It happened to come from Tiffin, and they only use the Mercedes Chassis as the basis for their Class C RVs. :thumbup:

But they DO cost a bit more...

Cost a bit more? Yeah, but you can afford it. You own your own business. That makes you one of the "rich" ones.:yes:hyea:

I am happy you were able to see the humor in my statement.

I hesitated to post it because one has to be sooo careful about offending people these days. But then I decided you and I have similar sense of humor and did it.

I'll tip a wee dram of "th' water o' life" to you and the missus enjoying many hours of use of the new "home on wheels".

 

[Bob Denman]

Believe me: it's all good! :thumbup:
Thanks for the kind sentiments...

As far as offending me: my hide is thick enough to stop a depleted uranium round fired from an Abrams! :bowdown:

 

[PrairieSpyder]

Wow, Bob! I've been away for a while, and things have really changed for you. Last I heard you had only your Spyder for sale. And you must have made a killer deal on buying that toy-hauler to have gained $8k on the sale! Good on you!

I'm probably gonna sell my flat-bed trailer soon. I use it to haul my F3T behind my pick-up and RV. Interested?

 

[Bob Denman]

The Golf Cart should be here next week: tell me more about your trailer... :2thumbs:

You've got my email: pictures and details can be sent directly to me!

How have you been?? I have noticed your absence in here... :shocked:

 

[Peteoz]

Onya, Bob.......have a great time. It looks like a great set up:thumbup:

Email sent.

I was at the Texas Spyders in the Hills rally last week. I used up the 15 gig hot-spot data allowance in 3 days and had to resort to only using my phone for all my internet access. It was my first rally for the Spyder Attic.

Bob, as I recall you or your wife have a Mini Cooper. You might consider flat towing that if you still have it. We have a Leisure Travel Unity built on the same Mercedes chassis and the same 6 cyl diesel. We tow a Mini with no problem. We only take it when we are going to be in one place more than a couple of days. One of the advantages of the class B+ RV is you can park it in most places. It's still a PIA to pick up camp when you want to do a some sight seeing or just running to the store.

Hey Bob !!!!
Golf is just about as exciting as watching paint dry
