Thanks for the comment. I know what you are saying that the platform not picking it up. I just did these Travel Trailer Videos because Anna wanted us to do it together, then she got called into work. These types of non-automotive videos are just for fun and we are not really looking for views. Hey, at least this had 4 wheels & a spare! Our main concern is time. I work full time and then spend 3 nights a week and a full weekend day helping a family member that is wheelchair bound. The issue we are having is Anna's time in town has not been lining up with my free time. I hope things get less hectic in the following months & we can get back to playing with cars.

@Blu_Grit_Garage it sounds like you've got your plate more than full. It's nice that you and your daughter are doing this together, as you have time. You know I've got people going back a year or two on mine and viewing some of them. Another KZbinr has 4,600 videos that he's put out in roughly 4 years. I know his backstory but I don't tell people's business. But I will say that he said he's living off of that. He doesn't live extravagantly. I think he has a little less than 15,000 subscribers. Most of his videos are longer videos five to 15 minutes. over the last several months has been doing more shorts 🩳. Him and I traded ideas over the last couple of years. I have given him a little bit of content that worked out pretty well for him. He's on Facebook and something else I believe Twitter. He has worked his butt off and he's very very active. I do know fellow who has a channel. He has been helpful on technical points. He hands out technical suggestions and plans and ideas like a car guy would hand out a suggestion on how to better adjust the points on a car. No charge. Anyway if you're interested I'll give you contact information to check them out. I just believe that you have what it takes to succeed

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025 Let me know his channel & when I get time I will check him out. Thanks.

I have to get before and after photos of what we started with. The critter living in there pooped bigger than me.

@Blu_Grit_Garage well that's interesting. Some places out in Kansas they fill the entire engine compartment to the point where you cannot see it

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025 The Manufacturers do a good enough job of hiding the engines with all the emissions stuff. Now we have to worry about Nature also. My brother lives in the city & he and his neighbors are having expensive issues with squirrels to the point that he left a sacrificial truck out front with squirrel traps.

@Blu_Grit_Garage wow! Without predators or at least enough of them then the rodents such a squirrels and rats have multiplied out of control

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025 We have a video skirting the bottom of the trailer. I have a heat lamp under the trailer she will turn on if it gets down around 15 degrees. She will also let the faucet trickle. We need to get a thermometer with remote sensor to check the under trailer temperature to know for sure when the heat lamp is required.

@Blu_Grit_Garage I love the idea of the remote sensor for the thermostat under the trailer. On the form we have a pump house, actually a couple of them. We have a trailer out there too. The house out there is fine we'll have to worry about it. But it's getting that time of the year again. I thought about one of remote control thermometers the act as a switch to turn it on and off. To go along with the heat tape. I use a commercial heavy heat tape because what they sell retail seems to burn out. Years ago decades ago my dad a trying to encourage me to get an RV. That way I wouldn't be tied down and I can move and I wouldn't have a rent or house payment. What time you could rent a place to park for $35 a month. I think his thing was that I'd be more likely to move back closer if I done this. But sometimes I wish I had. That's why I relate so well to this video of yours

@@DrGo-bw2jy It has gotten down to zero before. We may have to put straw over the drain to keep the drain from freezing and let the faucet trickle if it gets around 15 degrees. The next video will show us skirting the bottom of the trailer to the ground.

@ thanks. All good information that I may use in the coming years, so very much appreciate you sharing this preparation work! Wishing you much success and warmer temperatures at least during the daytime.

Thanks for visiting

Will do!

The older ones with the Bendix hydraulic helper cylinders (exact same part as early Corvettes and Checker Cabs) are fun to work on also. Do not cross the lines on those. If you do, when you start the engine the steering wheel will violently spin back and forth, full travel. Ask me how I know.

@Blu_Grit_Garage that's interesting I don't think on GM you can reverse them. It's been a while since I changed going on a Ford. Actually it's been a long time since I change one on anything

Nice. There is a KZbin Channel called Mexican Spec that has a '73 Cream Colored LTD Wagon with a 3 on the tree & no Air. Now that is a strange combination.

@Blu_Grit_Garage watch out for that guy

I do like those Cyclones also. I like the 64 & 65 Barracudas, but not the 66's. The 67's on up to 74 are nice also.

@Blu_Grit_Garage yeah I agree I've always liked the barracudas vacuum even before people began to like them

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025 I still like the simplicity and torque of an old fashioned pushrod engine. Working on the multiple cams and all that timing chain phaser nonsense kind of takes the fun out it for me. Plus I am not all that great with computers and fuel injection wiring. Stick a Pertronix or Chinese GM HEI one wire style Distributor in it with a carburetor and I am happy, and have a lot more money left over.

At the end of the latest returned from the No Name Nationals video (44 minutes long) the numbers are formed to match the door. They look great. Hopefully these won't blow off like the static cling ones did on the way down.

I left for work at 7:30 am and just got home at 11:15 pm. Unfortunately no time for Halloween this year. At least I got to see your Shorts.

@Blu_Grit_Garage thank you very much that makes it worth it. We volunteered for a harvest festival 🎎 at a Church. It was a lot of fun watching little kids having so much fun and thinking back. You're definitely a hard worker. I've had a couple more KZbin shorts about halloween. I'll send them to publish around 3:00 a.m. maybe midnight. Add video of somebody activities before the kids had gotten there. But unfortunately the KZbin dog 🐕aye my recording.

It has to be Hot to Burn right? She calls her Tacoma "Taco" for short.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage Did you see my latest post?

It was quality time with Anna since she is out of town with work most of the time. She even got to ride down the strip a few times.

@Blu_Grit_Garage that actually sounds great 👍. It's amazing how fast the time goes by

Yes, sometimes you just have to get away.

Yes and having to reach to clean it off the roof is also a pain.

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025 Trailer Brakes too.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage I have panic brakes on a couple of my trailers. How to use a big enough truck just stop the trailer because a couple of my trailers don't even have brakes.

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025Winning the 2 Trophy’s was totally unexpected, especially since we are new at this.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage you know it does not surprise me that you want those two trophies. Because you are the kind of guy and I think your daughter is too that put your nose to the grindstone just keep going at it. I think that's probably a big reason why I jumped on your bandwagon early on. No nonsense and get it done. I don't know how well that sells in today's society but it sure is a hard quality to find. Something else about the trailer brakes and lights. I also carry these magnetic emergency lights. They run on I believe four AA batteries their LEDs they burn bright. They have a high and low setting if I remember right. Always use them on the high setting when I need to. I used to buy them at Farm and home centers and Auto Parts stores. But lately I can only find them for five times the price at truck stops. Oh I found them online turn around 15 to 20.00 a piece. They come in red and they also are available in Amber. I've actually got a couple set of electric brakes that I took off because they caused more trouble on my trailer than they actually worked. As long as I run a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton truck I've never had a problem with the trailer coming around and meeting me in a quick stop 🛑. The two trailers I have a panic brakes work really well. I've got three or four others I've just accumulated over the years. They often just sit on the farm. If you find a way to get trail lights and electric brakes to work without constantly having to work on them, you could sell that information and become a wealthy man. I don't usually give in to defeat but when it comes to trailer lights and electric brakes they just seem to have my number. Hopefully it works out where you can still put out content. I found another dump truck I like the one that your friend has. I didn't stop and look at it but it looked identical. I still be interested in your friends dump truck

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025 Thanks for the kind words. BTW My neighbor’s dump truck is still for sale in Affton, Missouri south of St. Louis, Mo. His Name is Mike and it is located at his business “Riddle Cabinetry” if you want to check out his site and get his Contact information.

This is my 23 Tacoma I live and work in the Ozarks and I may have forgotten to look at the roof for a while 😂

Thanks, that is what the Mosquitos say. (Comment from Walter).

Funny, this one slipped by. It was made over a month ago and a date was stuck on it. I forgot all about it. Hey about the NNN. It turns out that I Broke Out on my last run, but the other guy Red Lighted so he handed me the win. I will take luck over skill any day. I ran a 10.7472 on a 10.75 dial in. I was proud of the .0123 reaction time though. Thanks for the comment.

I brought tools & wire so we were good except for me getting too close to the exhaust. All is good.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage Glad it all worked out. Loved your Mustang!

We subbed to your channel when we met you in line waiting to get into the first NNN. I think you had around 10 to go to meet the 500 at the time.

We will have to get together sometime.

I do not see where my reply went through so if it is duplicated I am sorry. Thanks for the offer, but I use both Aluminum Ramps ant the Wood Ramps to get the Car on the Trailer because the Car is so low. The wood ramps are also handy for Oil Changes. I still have the old heavy Ramps that came with the Trailer.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage ok bud, thought I'd offer

Thanks & it was great to see both your Impalas out there.

Thanks for you helping us with getting the 500 Subs.

Thanks.

Thanks, Anna and I enjoyed hanging out with you and for being able to run with you down the strip.
