Nice. I was at Crazy Horse and Mt. Rushmore 2 years ago. Also, hit Devils Tower. Very cool.

What size tires are on the Big Pink. I have 4.8x12 tires on mine. Just was wondering how well they did on the freeway. That is if you used the freeway.

 

[tac422]

I have the 4.80 X 12 tires, running at up to 80 mph (Speed limit in North Dakota) for several hours and the tires and hubs are barely warm to the touch.
I'm running 40 or 45 PSI (I can't remember which) in the tires. They are doing great !

Good to know. That was my concern was freeway speeds. Idaho is 80 mph on freeway and 65 mph on most other highways. Thanks.

I did have the tires balanced at a trailer shop. I couldn't detect any difference, but for $5 a tire, it was worth it to me.

Are you warm and cozy?

Is this a foamie first?

Like we say, "test 'em like you use 'em"!

 

[tac422]

We are warm and cozy
The Big Pink is doing great in the cold weather!
We're only using a small electric heater recommended by a TNTTT member.
( I can't find the post right now)

What a trip and very neat that you were able to get such good cameo shots with the camper in them.

You pretty much have to have come right past me! I think I might have to go get the prairie chicken photo of my foamy. That is AWESOME!

Thanks Guys and Gals !
The Big Pink pulled flawlessly, the only mishap was a interior light bulb vibrated loose, fell to the floor and broke.
The tires and hubs only barely got warm (90 - 110 degrees per my HF thermal reader)

UPDATE:
The worlds largest Prairie Dog has now closed permanently, making this one the worlds largest.

Guess this should be listed as a Well Tested Foamie design ... along with several others we can think of that have accumulated many travel miles now !!!

OH NO! PRAIRIE DOG TOWN IS CLOSED?!?

"See the two headed cow", "See the 6 legged calf", "Pet the baby 'rattlers'

I loved that place, would stop there every time when driving back to Denver. My kids got a bit tired of it after the first half dozen stops or so.
