Not gas. Jet fuel A (light kerosene). More BTUs per gallon and bacteria will eat it if the plane has to dump it for an emergency landing.

P.S. Is your profile photo of the U.S. southwest some place or is that Yemen? Hey, got trailer? Got AirTabs? Got photos of your rig? (We live for new trailer photos around here.) Start your ALBUM on the forum so we can get our fix. Pretty please. :thumbsup:

the picture is the Valley of fire in Nevada outside of Vegas and I'm working on a Legend 7 x 16 but not sure how to load to album :NC
looking in as many places as possible

Click on that camera icon under your name next to the PM (personal message) button and then click the NEWIMAGE upload button. It will prompt you to add photos that are stored on your computer.

There's also a tutorial on how to upload photos: http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?p=911290#p911290


I hiked the Valley of Fire once, years back. Never saw it from above like that. Nice.

Good ultralight choice!

:scratchthinking: They sleep on the trailer so they don't have to sleep on the ground in the western deserts?

Good Photoshop too. Long way from their home destination, eh?

Prem,
I looked up the Bravo trailer you posted. The company and trailers look interesting. I am headed north to PA (am in SW Virginia) to look at two other manufacturers soon. But if I do not see anything I like (because of the many posts here, I am learning to check out trailers for quality work and materials), I will head down to NC to their nearest dealers to check Bravo out. Thanks for the post.

"Wow. I can see red blood cells inside that mosquito on the barn's ceiling."

P.S. I want my trailer's roof to do that on a slide at the push of a button. 8)

Prem,
That is way too cool!! Looks like they can do anything a feller would want or dream up. (for a hefty $> I am sure)

Dadgum it! I cut that board 5 times and it's still too short!

Earnest,

For sure. $>

P.S. Dadgumit! I drilled into the roof of my trailer six times and it still leaked! Finally I used black, expanding, driveway foam in a can from both sides and fixed that hole for the wires under the solar panels! :thumbsup: :dancing:

We could go smaller and better using cargo trailer conversions for half the price!

Earnest,

The upside of micro apartments in NYC is that they don't have cockroaches (yet)!

:? Lived there. Had roaches.

A box of Cheerios is living quarters for cockroaches.

Just don't want to ever see one in my trailer. But I have seen them dead in a campground. :frightened:
