My trailer is 21' long. About 9 feet tall at a guess (you can stand up in the trailer), 8 feet wide (maximum legal) and dual axle with a capacity of 6,000 pounds. The floor and walls are 3/4" plywood and as you would expect, it has indeed had a vehicle inside it without trouble. Weight is a...

It takes just as long or longer for that last 20% as it does the first 80%. Sure you can add 30% more stops if you want. Now you're up to 10+ stops of around an hour. So you'll save 2 hours and some battery life (it harms them mildly every time you fill them to full capacity) but you'll be...

I usually take three people with me. Standard load is 5 bikes in the trailer, we often have six. Plus gear, spare fuel and usually some beer. That said, for your scenario, something like a Ford Lightning would still need 6-7 stops for a probable minimum 2 hours apiece total - provided that...

Both reasonable points, I think we're on the same page then.

Were they privately financed or did you have a corporation? The devil's in the details.

Why do you need a truck for parts? Locally all I see are Prius' etc. with NAPA signage. Something like a small Sprinter van would probably do any of those type of duties. As for tractors, range is going to be an issue for them as well - plenty of tractor work that requires all-day plow work...

Nobody is forcing you to. However, that's not my thing, and this way we all can drive + stay there in the mountains for less money than it would take in just the tire cost of supersport tires that it would take to get there on the bike. Through April weather. I suspect the kind of riding we...

I honestly couldn't bear to read through the whole 14 page thread, but I have an opinion on the EV as a work vehicle and/or truck. Here goes, lifted from a post I made on Facebook. A 100kph range from full on a F150 Lightning with a 5000lb trailer is 130km but that's right to fully dead, you...

Just for funsies, I want to share the "mobile home" that a vagrant was making in the rear parking lot of one of my townhouses on Bagot St. Kingston (beautiful building, 3rd floor balcony overlooks the old jail yard on King Street and part of the harbour, the old courthouse is visible from the...

Most landlords leverage mortgages so that they can buy enough property to make it wortwhile. In 6 years I've made almost a third of what I pay in mortgages in net profits, almost 300% in property value in appreciation and upgrades, and can service the debt at 6% (now) while taking that level of...

Except they're not. https://www.taxpayer.com/newsroom/carbon-tax-costs-average-family-up-to-710-this-year-parliamentary-budget-officer This is before yesterday's rate hike.

I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. I own 17 rentals.

So, a completely unknown pro-Left nobody of a website shows up out of nowhere and you decide that suddenly they're the sole arbiters of truth. Interesting. Let us know how that works out for you.

Adding to this: https://www.taxpayer.com/newsroom/carbon-tax-costs-average-family-up-to-710-this-year-parliamentary-budget-officer Before the new hike yesterday, the average house was spending more than they get from the rebate. The CBC strikes again with pro-Liberal rhetoric.

dammit, I forgot where I left off, I already replied here.

My brother in Christ, you just proved my point without realising it. It's a wealth distribution scheme. Nothing more, nothing less. There's no government income, there's no spending going on from it, there's exemptions for the big players and the rest of the industry just passes the cost on...

A completely unknown web site. Also, I'm not convinced it's entirely factual, either. You saying so doesn't make it true. I don't have a team. I'm anyone but Liberals and their socialist toadies, the NDP. I wish there was some other choice, since the Greens are idiots with no hope of...

This was true, but is no longer. Even the Liberals admit that at least 60% of Canadians pay more than they receive. This isn't a carbon tax anyway. It's a thinly veiled wealth distribution scheme so that the Government doesn't have to source more welfare costs to the poor and disabled. It's...

You're right, but you're so wrong. As a landlord myself, those basement apartments would go off the market and become AirBNB destinations, because you have no IDEA how difficult it is to get mortgages for rental houses and what is required. The bank thinks it's in business with you as a...

I'm willing to bet I've traveled more than you. I've spent the better part of a year abroad in my life over the span, and of those months only one area is a regular visit (Robbinsville, NC). Not a few weeks here or there, but many actual months in myriad places foreign and domestic. At best...
