  3. The 'short bag' I had ordered came in this week. To give you an idea of its capacity it will easily hold a box of 15 12 oz cans...

  5. They opened up in the location where White Water Marine was east of Peterborough. I really can't see the place being open long as their parking lot always seems empty. Never seems to be any customer traffic there. No real horror stories, a couple of middling service issues that should've been noticed before I picked up a sled. Wasn't impressed with Bennett after they moved to Whitby. They had an ATV in the shop for several months waiting for parts. Only real service we've had on the Corridor was getting the DESS cords for our 3 sleds reprogrammed to recognise each sled (or whatever) @ Dan's in Kap'. They wheeled the BUDS gizmo out the door & did it in half an hour. Only issue was the tech didn't realise my sled was a SDI (other 2 were carbed). Once that was noted, the job was completed. I think what they charged us for the 3 sleds/6 DESS cords was what Whitewater/Gateway were going to charge per sled & then we'd have to drop the sleds off...

  6. The NCDN thread inspired me for this and I would like to start a seperate thread for dealers who will go above and beyond and those that may not. Maybe a little positivity is what we need at this time for our covid covered winter. I will start I ordered parts 3 times from Wildbill at Rosseau Road for this winter and he has them shipped from Parry sound to Port Sydney. Every time it was the right part and they were always there when i showed up. Great service and unless its a Skidoo (and now Polaris ) only part I will order from Bill. That kind of service and loyalty is incredible versus somewhere like a certain Majestically named big box snowmobile parts place that has stores in Guelph, Barrie, Sudbury etc.....that the parts people have to look up in the catalogue to determine what slider fits a skidoo rail (they are all the same from 1999 on up BTW.) He even has Doo Oil for the same price for those of us who are still rocking 2 strokes Thanks Bill, It made my winter and sledding easier. Oh and to Energy Powersports................you guys can never have my business.

  9. Can't say I've had any real terrible experiences, maybe we're lucky? 1. Quinlans - Polaris - they always treated our family tremendously, good pricing on new units, good value on trades, would drop anything to help us out. No longer in business. 2. Jansenns - Polaris- Went there after Quinlans closed up shop - one of the guys there worked at a marina on our lake, was a great guy - like Quinlans, always treated us well and were fair and good to deal with. Called Northgate now I think? 3. Performance Recreation - Polaris - moved there after Jansenns - this one came to down to $ - they offered me a much better dollar on a trade in - so much so I could not refuse the deal. I'm not a real dollars and cents guy - but this one only made too much financial sense at the time. Top notch people in there for me. Still in business 4. ATC - Cat - I bought my 2012 with a little over 100 miles on it from a kid that worked at a Cat dealership in Exeter. They are too far in the wrong direction for me to use regularly - so I picked it up - took it to ATC to get gone over, have some accessories put on - and we left for a trip. Super easy to deal with - did all warranty updates - treated me well. No longer in business 5. Carlsons - Cat - been taking my Cat there for service since ATC shut the doors, always been good - work done on time - no bullshit - you get what you paid for - nothing done without you knowing and okaying it - I've been happy with them and have no complaints. My folks use Rickwards for their Polaris needs - they are very happy there as well. No nightmares for me to speak of, have called a few places for pricing every now and again - but that's about it.

  10. You guys are right. It's all about how they handle the situation, and how they go about rectifying it, that seperates the good ones, from the bad ones.

  11. So question. Are you guys storing your sleds in the trailer because you have no room for them elsewhere?. Personally for me, I would never ever leave them in the trailer. Temperature swings, and thieves are my main concerns. Also, I like em inside, period. I've been inside my '20 PR147 Triton, at the height of the summer, and even with vents, I could never imagine storing sleds in there. Just my opinion.

  12. Just another thought - most trailers have a single vent somewhere along the top of one wall. If you want good ventilation, install one vent low on one side and one vent high on the other side at the rear. As because warm air rises, you will have a flow from the lower vent to the higher vent. Just have to install some kind of louver on them to prevent road crap while towing in the winter. You can get some estimation as to the size of vent you need by multiplying length X width X height to find the cubic volume of air in your trailer and decide how many cubic feet per (hour? day?) you want to move through. My dad was a mine ventilation technician and I would sit at his knee while he figured out volumes and flows for a whole mine system....continually updated as new work areas opened up and others got filled in. Used something called a slide rule?
