Where’s the dry van forum and other dumb questions

[Electric Chicken]

We've had customers actually use bolts like that as seals. They just bend 'em so the nut can't be screwed off.

They got the plastic number ones for the BOL but the bolt is the security.

It's a good thing "dumb" is in the title to this thread...

Ok how short can I make my lightcord and air lines?

What’s the kingpin setting on a van? Same as a stepdeck isn’t it?

Unless maybe I switch to a pogo stick?

The only swinging doors I wanna deal with better have a barstool and a jukebox on the other side. Neon sign is optional.

Agreed, but it’s a necessary evil for now.
Everything about a van is foreign.

I had to blindside back a empty 48’ flat the other day off a jobsite and onto the road. That would’ve sucked with a van.

Back to air lines and hoses- how short can I go?

I’m gonna try adding a second spring and clamp, first. Gotta hit traction first thing to grab a clamp and a new receptacle

I think it matters just as much where you're gonna put your fifth wheel and where your truck connections are too. Your truck is a little more stretched out than your typical Crapcadias and such that are set up to pull boxes. You can probably use what you have even if it's "too long" so long as you got a way to keep it off the catwalk.

That’s the idea behind the second spring and clamp. Get the extra off the catwalk

I already have a second clamp near the end so I can move the original springs depending on kingpin setting with the carabiner. Takes 5 seconds to move a spring. But then I got so much left over that gets tangled

Figure out how much excess you got. Figure how long they are in total. Do a little math. You're welcome.

I detect sarcasm. Are you trolling again?

That doesn’t make sense. This ****sucking rolltite is 36”.

Why would a van be that shallow?
