Hey guys does anyone have a pull thru or back in RV space that they aren’t fully utilizing it’s size?

I got off the waitlist and I'm bringing a 39’ RV w/ slide outs from VA so we have room for my buddy and his family. After talking to Jeff @ThatKOAGuy he suggested I post here.

He has a smaller space reserved for me that I have to trade:
30 amp or 20 amp
Back in
Water and electric only no sewer
32’ max length

We need a larger back in or pull-thru


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am not aware of my site details. But happy to trade if it helps you out. I need space for 2 rigs and tents.

This thing is almost ready for the journey.

Except the part where I used the suspension that I bought to go under an M416 on it. And I'm going to cut out the Timbren suspension and get a regular torsion axle burned in.

This thing weighs in at 940# empty. It's a porker but I like over built. The weight penalty is worth it to me.

I might have a run of these built when I've got some spare cash laying around.

I'll be with @Unimogguy

Bringing my "40" since his rigs are down for the count. Hopefully the purists won't run me out of camp

HEY SASers!!
I started this last year, and I will be bringing it back again this year. Trial Etiquette and A Friendly Reminder Check List to keep us all on the same page and to hopefully answer some questions for the newbies or oldies that you may not wanna ask. But please know, if you have a question that you think is silly, please ask, someone else might be thinking of it as well!

There will be a copy of this information in your swag bag and for those not getting swag, we will have some extras for you. Those who have been to SAS before, if you think I have forgotten anything, please let me know! Thanks!

Trail Leaders and Tail Gunners please be familiar with these lists.

Here's the info to read on this lovely Saturday morning:
**********************************************************************************************************************
Trail Etiquette:

~Limit your group to 5-10 vehicles. If you catch up with another group, slow down to space yourselves 15-30 mins apart.

~Make sure everyone has a radio that works and is tested before leaving camp, if not, make sure those who don’t are in the middle of the group. The Tail Gunner has to have a radio.

~Practice good radio communication. No foul language. Communicate difficult obstacles, broken down vehicles, etc. Don’t “clog” the channel with trivial stuff, leave the small talk for the campfire.

~ Pull off the road at the trailhead to prepare your vehicle. Don't block access to the trail while staging.(airing down, locking hubs, engaging 4WD, etc.)

~ Always keep the vehicle trailing you in your view. This will keep the Trail Leader from leaving the group behind.

~Stop at intersections so trialing vehicle sees where you turned

~When two vehicles are approaching each other on an incline the vehicle going uphill has the right of way. This is because it is easier to back up if you are going downhill.

~Always keep an eye out for places to pullover, sometimes you might have the right of way but if you can, safely pull over for the other vehicle.

~Give way to larger groups

~Distance yourself safely from the vehicle in front of you. On steep inclines let the vehicle in front of you crest the hill before you start up. On steep declines let the vehicle in front of you get to the bottom before you start down. Give those with manual transmissions room to get moving. They will roll back on a steep incline while engaging the clutch.

~Drive slowly around blind corners, if necessary, get out and walk to see if any vehicles are coming. Some places are very dangerous to back up. Don’t get yourself in a tricky spot.

~Use hand signals to communicate to oncoming traffic how many are behind you in your convoy.

~Pull off the trail when stopping for a break. Don’t stop in the middle of the trail.

~Three attempts and then it’s time to move on, give others a chance at the obstacle if there are others waiting.

~Bathroom break: Boys to the left and Girls to the right.

~Be kind and courteous on the roads and trails as we all represent the Toyota Community. Remember to watch your speed in Ouray and Silverton. Posted 25mph in Ouray and 20mph in Silverton.

~Slow down and yield to motorcyclists, hikers, horses and bicycles. When you encounter a backpacker, you could ask if they need water or if you can take any trash for them.

~Stop to assist. Don’t leave anyone behind.

~Drive on the trails only. Tread lightly and pack out all the trash. Leave the places you visit better than you found them.

~Have fun and enjoy Beautiful Colorado!

Actually, I have found an update version of this map, SAS founders did not create this map, but we did find it in the web-world. We will have FunTreks Maps and FunTreks Books for sale at the event as well a copy of this map.

 

[Manitou Decline]

Yeah I thought you all made it. Grabbed mine at my first SAS and it just stayed in my 60 ever since

 

[sogncab]

Then there's the super convenient 2' x 2' wooden version of questionable accuracy.

I don't think it will fit on my dash though..

A sacrifice we all must make in the name of fashion.

 

[Manitou Decline]

Well I could mount it to my headliner. If sacrifices need to be made.

 

[POTATO LAUNCHER]

You may want to mount that on the interior vertical Jerrod. That way you can read it the next time you flop.

 

[POTATO LAUNCHER]

Months of planning is coming together. Just a sample of cool things coming to SAS 8. Year 8 shirts arrive next week.
Ready for some quality time with our extended family in the San Juans. See y'all in a few weeks.
