Other then parts Royal has become like Canadian Tire. Never buy anything for regular price unless you are desperate as the item will be on sale soon enough.

Fricken swamp. There was about 6” gap between ice layer and water. Ice layer broke and sled rear end dropped in. Water was up almost up to my waist when I broke through lifting on it.
Saved by another Titan.
I will say it was a cold day and my FXR floater pants were waterlogged but drained when I got out of the water. And despite soaked pants and the cold temps that We were able to ride for the next almost 2 hours to home I was still warm when we got there.

I have a set of these and like them. Used them overtop of Polaris (Axys) handguards. (don't fit over Matryx guards though)
They look easy to install and remove.

So gutting upper floors adds $200,000 to price?

The recall won't be stopping me from riding
Nothing stops a Titan.
Or almost nothing.

my 2019 will be ridden until they call me to say I am to bring in for recall.
with only a 2-3 month season it’s not sitting for a season. Especially not for a 0.007 percent chance.
What’s the worst thing that can happen to my wife riding my 2019? It could be a great season. LOL.!

Nothing on their website, did you get an email? I did not
Yes I received it in an email.

Well if it’s the manufacturers forcing Royal out how will they cover the costs and fees previously shouldered by Royal?
Dealers sell accessories. Not the manufacturer. Will more dealers now attend with booths?

They had a big booth, took a lot of work to set up and take down I’m sure, maybe not worth it.
plus I’m guessing their online sales have skyrocketed in the last bit, so hard to justify the shows expense when online department is doing so well.
Don’t blame them.Factor in cost of space for booth, lodgings, meals etc. transport ot items. Deal with the international centre labour and rates.
Cheaper to have their big tent sales in own stores.

Dealer claims parts availability issue. From what I understand, majority of 1st set of repair kits coming to them are allocated for any new and undelivered 2022's. They never mentioned it being a labour issue. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
And yes, sled needing the update is an already paid for and late delivery 2022
Did you already receive the sled or is it still in dealers inventory?If at dealer they will need to get it out for space.

Do you or have you considered a camera to view the trailer at cottage that will also act as a greater deterrent I would think?
Other cottagers perhaps in the area that can keep an eye on things too, whether it be unfamiliar cars or people in the area, etc....
A nice set of bolt cutters can also make quick work of most locking systems - sadly if the thieves want it, it is gone, but you can always make it a bit harder & longer for them to steal your stuff.
Our neighbours are pretty good people and watch the place.
cameras might come eventually.
We love our Ring cameras at home. But that’s because wife doesn’t want me gone without some added security.

thanks for all the suggestions.
I had thought of running a chain and padlock through the wheel rim to the frame, but after seeing and hearing how these guys operate they would not hesitate pulling a trail down the road with one wheel not turning.........they don't care.
My thoughts with the wheel chock type of lock is that if they didn't bother to remove it the wheel would hop as it rotated making a more difficult pull.
Do you know how fast a battery operated grinder with cutting disk can zip through a padlock or chain? Or tounge lock? Or cheap Chinese wheel locks?I kind of regret selling my dads fifth wheel and truck. It was great to use to block in my sled trailer. Now the sled trailer will be alone on cottage driveway.
Hopefully 4 wheel locks and tounge lock discourage thieves.

I have wheel locks for my trailer. And I carry a propane torch in my truck to thaw them. Also a can of WD 40 to lubricate after heating.

Thats all fine, but customers are going to push back / stop buying. The increases that have occurred over the past couple years aren't sustainable. Wages are not coming close to keeping up with what market prices have done.
Yes that’s the economic principles of supply and demand.
We are in for an interesting period as interest rates rise along with inflation.
I can see some people selling toys in the next year

The trades should fetch more to offset most of increase in new prices, if applicable. Low dollar going to be good for exporting used to usa.
Except there is a glut of used vehicles on the market right now.
Higher Interest rates combined with dealers / brokers who over paid on a crap ton of low km vehicles and are now lowering their buy prices for US destined vehicles.
I just traded a 2022 GMC 2500. I did okay but there was a big difference in offerings for my trade and US brokers were the lowest.
They told me if I had traded in June I was getting $6,000 to 10,000 more. Too bad they could not get me the truck

Tell em' to keep it, that's BS on something that has no doubt risen by 30 pts or more in the last couple of years.
I guess you have never sold for a store with anything imported into Canada? Exchange rates are killers
Look at GM dealers right now. Price went up $6,000 - 10,000 on a truck. Do you think manufacturing costs rose that much? Or did the dealerships get a CDN dollar exchange rate increase?
There are GM customers who had ordered trucks 8 - 12 months ago and are now getting a price increase on their 2022 when it delivers.

Talked to my dealer. Parts for fix being sent to dealers.
Call your dealer and get on waiting list. My dealer has over 500 sleds inline.
Luckily my new sled will be one of first done.
My 2019 will be later in the year maybe??

I've never used a surge brake equipped trailer, but the concept of how they work just doesn't leave me feeling warm/fuzzy aboot using them on icey roads at all.
We were young and dumb maybe?
Early 90’s brand new galvanized 4 bed trailer with surge brakes. We were lucky if lights worked on previous trailers so was a huge step up for us. Putting more sleds on trailer allowed for more beer in truck I think.

In Ontario
Brakes
If your trailer has a gross trailer weight, vehicle and load of 1,360 kilograms or more, it must have brakes strong enough to stop and hold the trailer.
Because of the 1360kg or 2,998lbs weight rating for brakes being required it is common to see manufacturers use a 3,500lbs axle and derate capacity to 2,990lbs. My single axle open ATV trailer uses a 3,500lbs axle with max weight of trailer rated at 2,990 lbs. It rarely sees 2 atvs loaded and never winter.
I am not saying brakes on a single axle sled trailer are not useful only when legally required.
I remember years ago my buddies had a 4 place open sled trailer with hydraulic brakes. We were lucky when trailer started pushing my buddies full size truck we down an snow and ice covered hill and that we had the entire road to maneuver. That day changed our thought process really quickly.
