Re: It finally happened
I go alot of places alone, that was why I bought the pull pall, don't get me wrong, I like the air bag but have been stuck in wet sugar sand that is like quick sand just because you get up and out from the bag, if you put the sand back in below your tires once you lower back down you would just sink all over again

Re: It finally happened
The pull pal looks good but you need a winch.
The bag looks good for the cost,I havent got
stuck in 2 1/2 years.
 Anyone use one of these bags ?

Re: It finally happened
Sand will do that to ANY rig under the right conditions. A winch definitely would have helped. I've righted a snow bogged transit bus onto the road using my front winch hooked to the bus and my rear winch pulling at the same time hooked up to a telephone pole. Winch and pullpal is the best investment if you're doing things like beach bombing. It does all the work and it's cheaper to replace if it were to break down.

Re: It finally happened
 a winch with a pull pal is the best way to get a stuck rig out.
Im going to buy a 16 to 18 ft camper with a budget of around $10,000 I dont want to spend $600 + on a winch setup and $300 for a pull pal knowing I would almost never need to use it.(I mostly do moderate wheeling and wouldnt have got stuck if I backed off and repositioned for another futile atempt at pullin a dead rig out.
I also have a good sence when to back off (usually due to the steps)
Also I dont think I can tap in anymore wires on my battery without putting in a 2nd battery.
I already have a 10 gauge going to the trailer plug,A 12 gauge to the onboard compressor,a 14/16 ? gauge going to my under hood light,a 14 gauge going to my airhorn.
No room for a monster wire to power a winch.
For $145 (including shipping )the bag looks good for a emergency and will stow easy under my doggie bed if I take out 1 pillow.
Dam  I pay $145 for a nice dinner and drinks for 4 people, Ill skip a night out for a seafood bouillabaisse (Mmmm)and a few tequila sunrises.

La Casa Cafe (on the water )is closed till april  they only use to close for January..The bouillabaisse has clams, steamers, mussles , sea scallops, in a seafood stock over linguine.
I think I read the H3 has a 120 amp alt.The alpha's is more ,I could find the original tread.
