Here's the deal with inconsistent information from U-Haul: I rented a trailer in Missouri to haul my new Westy home to the Oklahoma City area - roughly 300 miles. The U-Haul dealer said he couldn't rent the trailer to me because of their weight guidelines. However, he sent me to a non-dealer, a local guy who rented out U-Haul's without being an official U-Haul store. That guy rented me the trailer with no hassle. I don't understand how that works, but I had no trouble pulling her home with my Chevy Blazer.
Maggie '85 Westy Vanaru "The Anne Bonney" BTW - her engine will finally be started up tomorrow. Had a delay after we got the wrong adaptor for the power steering hose. Wish us luck. |
