Yeah..I KNOW , LONG extension cords and all that....One disclaimer before I start, If mnjoe replys I ask that You ignore mnjoe, from this point on just call it the mnjoe DISCLAIMER, You know what He drug the last post down to.
Last post concernin' this topic, it seems the odds were 5 to 1 I was a fool for suggestin' a fifth wheel( I think 12 replys, 2 seem to think the idea might have merit. An I am okay with that, "There's been a whole lot of people thought I was a fool,Been a time or two I thought that I was one too"....Seems the general line of reasonin' was Fifth wheels use too much energy and that may be true but no one gave any data to support this, Now good people, I did the math on this a few years back, MY MATH, MY WAY...I've shot the American Handgunner World Championship match out in Co. several times, long pull from North La., Most of the time drivein' a 1996 Cherokee six cyl. inline engine, pullin' a single axle trailer loaded with 1500lbs or more of gear. No trailer , flat ground, mileage 21 mpg....Trailer 20.4 mpg ( two axle trailer gives me a 5th and 6th wheel)( so I don't think it takes a lot of energy to turn a 5th wheel) this is actual data, no advanced math. Like I've said before some of You on this forum are real thinkers...Those are the ones I'd like to see reply to this PRO or CON
Food for thought, What about hookin' the 5th wheel up with a lot of gearin', with the right gearin' the power to pull the 5th wheel could be reduced, How about belts and pullies, What about Hyd. Pumps bein' turned by the wheel???? And There are more ideas , just throwin' these out there
Lookin' back a bunch of years, If I had listened to the naysayers I would have never forge welded the high carbon steels I was usein' into the Damascus billits and then forged into knives, "THEY" said it couldn't be done....If Rocky Gibbs had listen to the naysayers He would never have reduced the taper in a 30/06 case, blown the shoulder forward, changed the shoulder angle to 37 degrees, shortened the neck to .250 and had a cartridge that out ran the 300 Holland and Holland, with less recoil. Then "THEY" said the 30 Gibbs is inaccurate , the neck is too short, Rocky won ever match He shot the 30 Gibbs in. If Danny Gatton had listened to the naysayers He would have never became one of the greatest TELECASTER players the world has ever known. "THEY" said his fingers were too short to play a TELECASTER...to keep playin' the pedal steel......Clessie Cummings would not have invented the "JAKE BRAKE"...I could go on and on , by now You get the idea....I posted the earlier post and this one to start the thinkin'...There are better ways.....WHAT ABOUT TESLA'S TURBINE ENGINE????What about usein' it to turn BIG alternators . WE MUST DO SOMETHING, THE OIL RICH ARAB MUSLIMS ARE KILLIN" US

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
