We almost brought it back to you. We stopped for fuel & a burger and misread a sign- and had one of those Groundhog Day experiences.

But, we made it out & back in one day- thanks for your help in making that happen.

No Problem Chris, how did the trailer do? Hey John are you happy? and John dont let Chris take it completly apart

Trailer worked good- just not nearly enough brakes. One axle drum brakes isn't enough for much over 35. Good thing I have monster brakes on the truck.

Thanks Bill.

All the way home Chris theoretically spent my theoretical money thinking of things to do to it.

Nooo... this one is MY project. Although his insight and knowledge is the best that I know.... and I value and appreciate it... this one is mine.

Glad to have him in my corner though!!!

And thanks again for the help, Chris. Your generosity of time, talent, and equipment is unmatched.

And we got those monster brakes smoking in the PA mountains, too.

Chris can't drive 55.

Hey, I got places to be, people to see, checks to cash...

Give it a few minutes Chris and all the safety police will be out in full force for you admitting you had bad trailer breaks. Suppose you pulled it with a F150 too????? j/k.

Hey, I'm usually the safety police.

And the brakes ween't bad- it's just astonishing that a trailer manufacturer would build a trailer and rate it for 10,500 lbs and only have brakes on one axle.

Fortunately I had my Excursion- it's got every braking & towing mod known to man on it. But we did get a whiff of pad on a couple of thise exit ramps.

What's scary is that most people wouldn't even think to look- and maybe set off in just barely enough truck (or less) thinking that "they wouldn't have built something if it wasn't OK"

Thier its done, I changed my screen name!!!!, I will never name myself after a boat again!! I used my initials and it is also my business's name
