Legrande. I don't remember the model name but they have one with a similar footprint. I believe MSRP on it was 53K to start.

Yes, it automatically moves them onto the burn plate. Each puck burns for about 20 mins so you set the smoke time based upon how many pucks you load up with that 20min/puck burn rate.

Nice. We've only been out 3 times but enjoying it so far.

Sure. William Stump 406 241-0598. Tell him you watched the video and that I sent you.

The steps are part of the new additions in 2024. While I think they could bring in dirt, we put the carpet on there and it doesn't seem to be much of a problem. I would think without the carpet, it would be even less of a problem. We do keep a broom with us to brush off the steps if they start collecting dirt. We use the roll out canopy and an entry indoor/outdoor carpet and that does a really good job keeping dirt and rain down significantly. I'm not sure I would camp in the winter with the trailer as the insulation is not much. It is a 3 season camper so I suspect winter would be cold or use a lot of propane for the furnace. I boondock a lot as well, the factory battery is Lead Acid and only 75ah...it didn't last long. I upgraded it myself to a LiFePo4 battery and will be posting that to my YT channel soon. It made a WORLD of difference when boondocking. I can run for days with the new battery setup.

@RoughRidersTV Thanks for your response! We usually camp in spring and fall. Occasionally, we get into snow, but not for long. Thanks for the tip on insulation! I will definitely be watching on your battery upgrade. 👍

@@Dana-.- So we've only camped 3 times so far so we are still learning the ins/outs of it. With that said, it has rained on us on all 3 trips and we did not have any problem with water getting inside the trailer. The combination of the canopy and the indoor/outdoor carpet kept the trailer clean and dry. I don't know about how it would work with snow given that I probably would not want the canopy out in any snowfall or at least not in any significant snow fall as I would be concerned about the weight of the snow on the canopy. For rain, I just shorten one of the legs so the rain will flow off the canopy in that direction. But I think even with the previous type steps, you would have the same problem of tracking snow, dirt into the trailer as you go in/out. The only time you fold those steps up is when you are leaving so a good sweeping should take care of that without issue.

Glad you liked it

It's basically, lefty loosey, righty tighty on the star nut. You will feel it as it tightens and the wheel will get harder to turn.

@@RoughRidersTV so i replaced both sides with new pads and hardware. Turned star nut on both sides until they would not turn freely and only a slight lag when e brake is engaged. Should I force turning star nut with a hammer? Maybe I can tighten cable connected to floor e brake?

@@HagerVids Basically, you are turning the nut until you cannot turn the rotor at all. Then you back the nut off by 7 clicks or so. The rotor should not freely spin (no drag) yet when you set the brake, it should engage quickly. If you have turned the nut and it won't turn any further, then you might need new brake shoes in the drum hat. The brake shoes are not the brake pads that squeeze the disc rotor. Replacing pads won't do anything on the parking brake as they are not part of that brake system. The parking brake is an independent braking system. When you adjust the star nut, you are moving those brake shoes closer/further from the brake surface inside the rotor hat. Just like brake pads, parking brake shoes need to be replaced every so often. So if you can't dial in the parking brake adjustment, pull off the rotor and inspect the shoes to see if they are worn and need to be replaced.

@@RoughRidersTV inspected the cable. It's not pulling on driver side. It does on passenger side. The connector that splits off looks old and rusty. Now I'm not sure if it's just a stuck line on one side or what lol

Agreed. We also roll out the metal sink cover as more counter space and it helps. We've now had it out 3 times and learning more and more about how to use the space. We are also learning limitations of the trailer that we need to account for while camping. I've completed the battery upgrade and the solar controller and it was a huge addition to the trailer capability. I never have to worry about how much power I use over night now.

I would bet its the sensor. I tried replacing the EPS module as well with no luck. It started out having a problem when temps dropped but it progressively got worse and I suspect, with time, would have failed completely. The Torque Sensor is fairly common problem with the car so my guess it that is where your problem resides.

It wasn't too bad as gravity was on our side. It was myself and my son in law. I tacked in a couple of 2x6 boards about 10 feet long. Once I was able to get the Arc trainer on the boards, I only needed to control the speed of the decent to the landing. From there, it was 2 steps to the basement floor where I could wheel it in place. I did have to disassemble a bunch of it to help lighten it up and to give us more room to make the tight turns do the stairs.

I tried it that way first but it would not align right. The shat rotates 360 degrees so injustice aligned the teeth so the wheels and steering wheel were straight and that worked best for me. No problems so far.

both have the same system. You need to do both rears

Thanks. still in the honeymoon phase with the trailer but the quality on this is pretty impressive. Not as good as the teardrop but better than any other comparable rig I looked at...so hoping this holds up over time.

From a group online. There are all sorts of places to find them still.

@@RoughRidersTV Can you provide a link to the group? I wasn't able to find it on S2Ki forum. Thanks for the video and the tips on installation!

@@michaelsullivan6093 There are a couple of S2K FB groups. But places like HondaPartsOnline should still have them as does ebay. However, be sure you get a left hand drive version as ebay was full of right hand drive versions and the splines run the wrong way.

I think so but it's expensive. You can find it cheaper online.

Thanks for watching. Surprisingly enough it is still holding up well. None of the welds have broken loose yet. I have since bought my wife a quad so we use these to load her quad as well. The only thing that has happened and it's not a fault of the ramps is that some of the webbing dented a little bit. However, that is because I used them to load a 300lb double oven on a refer dolly. The dolly has narrow, hard wheels that didn't line up with the center beam when I loaded it so one wheel was off center and the weight of the oven on such a small area caused the webbing to dent some. But even then the welds held so I can't really complain given the price point.

@@RoughRidersTV that's awesome. Thank you. It's good to hear that after four years it's still holding up

Could be a couple things. Gotta narrow it down by your symptoms. If it’s not engaging vtec check out your top dead center sensor. It’s by the fire wall and connected around valve cover I believe. Is it fuel cutting at 7k?

@@pinkpsilo3337 that is what mine was. Loose connector by the valve Cover. Once I plugged it in securely, car was fine

Thanks

Can you fabricate the bar? If that is the only thing preventing you from mounting it, might want to give it a try.

Not sure, never had to work on a Civic. The ebrake is cable driven on this, not electronic so probably not the same.

Thanks for watching.

I don't know if they still make it or not. But here is the description from my amazon order. Eurmax Premium 10'x10' Commercial Grade Heavy Duty Outdoor Easy Pop up Canopy Instant Tent Trade Show White

Actually I did. I mentioned it right at the beginning of the video at the 1:30 mark. But yes it's about double the cost.

@@RoughRidersTV ah sorry I missed it and didn't see it in the timestamp!

@@RoughRidersTV I am hoping we made the right choice we went with the Bradley smoker!

@@lighthouseministries7 I really don't think you can go wrong with either. Both are great smokers and I used that Bradley for 6 years without complaint. It always produced great food. Now that I've had more time on the RecTeq, I do like it a little bit more. The more open cook space makes larger cuts of meat easier to smoke and the phone app is great at seeing temps without having to go outside. But at 2x the cost, I would expect more features and capabilities and that's why it's not really a fair comparison between the 2. If you cold smoke (cheese, fish, etc.), the Bradley wins hands down. It is a much better cold smoker than the RT.

No, sold it when I bought the YXZ 1000. However, I sold the YXZ a few years ago and bought the YZ250F which is basically the MX version of this bike and that is what I'm riding today.

It holds about 4 Gallons. It's stock motor and exhaust so it sips fuel. We can go a long time between refueling. I don't have milage range, but I can go hours plowing the streets and do that multiple days before having to put in more gas. On trails, we will get 3+ day rides in before needing to refuel.

Fair point. I would typically max out things at 6 hours on the smoke. Anything over that would not get absorbed by the meat. When I did Brisket, I would burn pucks for 6 hours and then the element do the rest. Ribs, I would do 5 hours all smoke. Never really did anything less than 5 hours. But you are right, costs do drop once you stop burning pucks...I should have accounted for that in the video.

@@RoughRidersTV No worries, it's a very informative video. I sent it to a friend asking about pellets vs bradley. I've owned two bradleys I've been very happy with. When doing larger pieces of brisket I'm usually ending up around 12+ hours in the bradley. One of my biggest complaints with the bradley is the low thermal mass. If I add pit beans mid smoke, it takes too long (imo) to bring temps back up.

Glad I could help!

Awesome

Thanks. I put fluid in the jar so the open line does not suck any air back into the lines.

Thanks for watching.
