    they would need it short to clear the landing gear and their headache rack if they got one, yeah?

    talking 48’ flats with spreads at rear

    what would the benefit be of running with a 30” KP over something shorter?

    A deeper pin would reduce overall length and lessen off-tracking in turns.

    and you’d lose front overhang for over length poles or whatever?

    assuming there is no good one size fits all for this sorta thing. just gotta make sure it works with the WB on the truck and where the fifth wheel is set...

    Wowza. That has happened before. Their used to be people living in campers down there early 2000s. Cleared em out. Their is a ton of snowmelt heading your way. Its weird, the ice jam will clear and woosh. If you head up to the bridge to nowhere as it clears up, its amazing what water and ice can do. Stay safe!
    Usual break up day is apr 23, get goin your late.

    Are you up high? Beacon/abasand/thickwood?

    @Flint1 someone did a 4 minute drone video of it. Its up on social media. Ice is about 20 feet away from the road along the river downtown. All those nice new paths and trails they put in last fall are probably completely wrecked now :(
