Aw shucks, I see that when I wrote that an 8-foot trailer was more than we want to deal with, I came across sounding like a total wuss. I used to tow a pretty little 21' Airstream trailer with a little Ford Explorer in an earlier life. This was before Explorers were inflated to today's bulky Sta-Puft size. So maneuvering a dinky 8-footer doesn't bother me. Think is, whatever I use will need to be one-man stand-uppable and one-man slide-sideways-able into the back yard through the gate in the fence. Those of you who have never see the tiny lots our So. California houses are built on won't understand when I say that we don't have the room in the front yard, driveway, or street to store even an 8-foot trailer without it looking like the Beverly Hillbillies moved into the neighborhood. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") KG6RCR |
