I’d be interested too, in food sharing. Too bad Louisiana is so far south. I’d bring a whole bunch of Boudin, but I’ll think of something.
You can order from DON’s in Scott Louisiana and have it shipped here or to Daves. Or have it shipped directly to the campground. We order from them all the time.

Just a little reading on riding at high elevations, apparently running at 12,000 ft in low make these pioneers overheat rather easily. Make sure your radiator is extra clean and keep an eye on your thermostat while were up high. I'm going to fart around and see if I cant fix the radiator shroud. So it actually pulls air through the rad.

That’s good advice

Great, then get a vender badge and market proper shrouds to the rest of us...:D:cool:

Good call ! There was some overheating issues on the Utah ride last year especially rigs with aftermarket bumpers.

Could possibly just buy a 10” fan to add to the outside of the rad. I think there may be enough room.

That would be a good idea too if it fits. My experience on the MC, max elevation of 8,000 feet however pulling the 1000 lb trailer with an estimated 500 lbs in the bed of the Pioneer was going from 2 to 3 bars on the temperature gauge, which I’m not sure but don’t think that that’s overheating, just running hotter than normal. Even so, just as a precautionary measure, we stopped periodically on the long steep accents and drank a cold one while it cooled back off.

Can we just add a switch to keep your stock cooling fan to turn it on or when u need it more than what the computers tells it to do to help out?

I don’t think computer really cycles it. When it reaches temp it comes on then off after I’m pretty sure. Seems like it

Your correct. That’s what I meant. I thought there was a bypass switch/widening harness so u can run it when u want? I think it’s in the store. I’ll have to check that out
