I forgot to mention that backing into the pad should be a 90 degree angle, uphill, in mud while it is snowing outside.

Did I mention off-camber?




btw, I do have my M1 endorsement. I did not have to take the DMV test. I took the safety class instead.

When towing a heavy 5th wheel (over 12,500 gross I think), California requires another endorsement. The number of people that have even heard of it is very small.

In tx. you have the take the safety class and that will cost you a couple of hundred dollars and then the DMV. The only part you get to avoid now is the driving test. Used to be a DPS officer would have to ride in another car behind the motorcyclist and follow the rider around the neighborhood. The rider/person taking the test had to provide the car, so it took two people. It took me years, when I was much younger, to find a good friend to go with me or borrow their car because as youths, we did not want johnny law sitting in the passenger seat of our car....no telling what they may find in the carpet or fabric of the seats!!!

Thanks, I will experiment this season!
