Let's see them Toyhaulers!

Awesome!!!

I don’t think I can convince the wife on that size.

That is rather funny when you say "I don't think I can convince the wife on that size."

Going to the Black Hills next weekend, hope it warms up. Considering leaving my doors on my Honda and the heater oddly enough.

Where are you staying/camping Vikes79? As you probably know the Central Hills and the most of the higher elevations got a lot of very wet and heavy snow the past 48 hours. I'll be down near Sheridan Lake helping a friend dig out either today or tomorrow and can report back if you're planning on staying anywhere near there.

My wife likes too many luxuries of a standard home.

Yeah well aware of the situation as I’m on the east side of the state. My college alma mater is in Rapid.

Down side is all the trails are closed (for obvious reasons). Not sure if the P1k5 will be making the trip.

Will be staying at Elkhorn Ridge near Spearfish with family and friends.

Heading out Thursday. Hopefully most has melted by then.

Hey @Vikes79, I hear you on the trails being closed, we have so much snow in the high country here in Colorado that I may need to get the track system for the P5 just for this summers riding.

Any of y’all use a Gooseneck pin box replacement? Wife is expressing interest in RV again and I’d rather not have a hitch in the bed.
I wouldn’t do an adapter too much leverage in all the wrong directions but this looks like a reasonable replacement physics wise.

That's cool. They should also offer a stripper pole option.

Does your trailer not currently have a patio option?

It had the option at the time of purchase , but the price was outrageous.

Are you interested in being on the door with the dogs? or strictly dogs?
Maybe a home brew solution?

Some of the big 5th wheels with patios on the side use an extenable leg to help support as well, maybe those are an option?

Check these out!
RV Slide-Out Supports
Grab some sort of 4x4 or trex decking to rest the door on.

All of these are great ideas and I looked into using Jacks , but they would scratch the heck out of the door/graphics. I would also have to store them some where when not in use. The cable would stay attached on one end (on the inside) and storage would be easy.

Also looking at this , I can add extra panels if needed!

Does your door have the hockey pucks on it to rest on the ground? Use a jack right under the puck if equipped.

I went thru a few pages in this thread looking for a picture of yours then gave up.
I would go that route if you are comfortable. It will offer way more support than a few screws on the side of the frame.

Just this morning.

Shoveled the entire pad by hand.
