    New truck for towing

    I picked up a 10,000 lb bumper pull RV this summer. Before buying I knew my F150 would be stretched to tow this trailer and it definitely is, so I'm now in the market for a second truck. I'm likely going with a 1 ton but undecided between gas or diesel. I will be doing trips through mountains...

    RV water heater

    I winterized my RV last season but forgot to drain the hot water tank :( I'm guessing the liner is cracked now as the hot water has a nice rust color to it. Any recommendations on where to pick up a new one in the Edmonton area? I'm on a trip right now and passing through this week. My current...

    Karyon bogan

    https://www.karyon.ca/karyon-xtreme-toboggan/ Has anyone ever used one of these? I'm thinking about buying one to use for hauling lumber (cabin build), ice fishing stuff, etc, and wondering if it is any good? I would use it primarily on lakes and a little bit of trail use.

    Slow down my sled!

    I have a 2019 Backcountry 600. This may seem strange but I want to slow it down, or decrease the minimum speed. Reason for this is for riding with my kids and really tight bush riding. If I recall correctly from last season it runs around 30-40 km/h at a minimum. To slow this down should I gear...

    Octane for Etec

    I've got a 2019 Backcountry 600. I always ride from home and I can easily access a card lock with regular gas but no premium available. I'm wondering if this is a problem to use regular? Who runs regular in their Etecs? We have a 2011 600 that we run with regular with no problem. Are the engines...

    What's it worth?

    2015 Freeride 800 137x1.75 with 5150 km. Does the mileage indicate the sled is going to be worn out and I should keep looking, or is it good to go? Anything I should look for on the sled? He is asking $8000 - is that reasonable or are better deals to be found?
