Teardrop and Vintage Tailer campout, Aug 11-14, 2011 So. Ca.

California, Nevada, Utah & Arizona includes Nor. Cal, So. Cal, and Arizona Tearjerkers Chapters

Ten items required in preparing teardrop for the Hurkey Creek Gathering:

1. repack wheel bearings
2. balance both wheels
3. check tire inflation
4. install removable tongue
5. connect hitch to reciever ball
6. adjust load to reduce tongue weight
7. load TD spare tire and wheel
8. bring stabilizer jack stands
9. bring hydrolic jack to remove hitch from ball
10. load wood blocks to level teardrop when parked.

Oh, never mind all of that stuff, I'm bringing the "wheel-less" 3x3 TD... Wheels, Wheels, I don't need no stinking wheels, for this shake-down tour fresh out of the workshop. See you there. (At last I have a TD painted to match my hauler)
:? 8) ;) :thumbsup: :dancing: Roly, with an 8 footer, a 6 footer and a 3 footer so far, and a NO footer on the drawing board :-)

Thanks Eddie for posting those wonderful pics. The 3x3 was a bit cramped, but since I have been taking yoga lessons, I can place my knees next to my ears for at least 4 hours. Only had to get up once to stretch out my septuagenarian muscles during the night. :-)

Many thanks to Carrousel and Ray, for an outstanding gathering, where we could park and camp anywhere we chose. Kind of neat. I know the first time attenders had a great experience and will return often.

Carrousel and Ray, Thanks for putting together this gathering.
It was nice not to have to drive a long ways for a great camp-out.
What a way to meet old and new friends. :thumbsup:

Awesome photos, Eddie and Wolfgang! Looks like I missed a great one. Unfortunately, Gina's back would not cooperate, and camping became out of the question for us. Hopefully her upcoming surgery will help and let us go camping again soon!
God Bless

Stuck at home. Again.

Say, Eddie (or anyone else!), who was it that had all that Coleman and the VW camper?

Thanks in advance!
