I picked up the new trailer last night in Hudson. Laura drove it down from Maine for me which was a big deal for me. She towed it behind her truck which already had a truck camper on it so it was a heavy load for her truck. And of course it was raining to beat the band yesterday. It was easy to hook up and it pulled very well. By the time I got home it was dusk and raining and I backed it into the driveway but that is as far as I got. I really couldn't see well enough to back it up.
This morning I got up and pulled it out of the driveway so that I could pull it it back in and into the pasture to turn it around and park it where I had the other trailer parked. The pasture was a bit muddy and I got sorta stuck a few times and the pasture is all rutted up now. Oh well. It will flatten out in time. I was able to back it up right against the fence where the other one was and I am quite proud of myself for that. It is about 6 ft longer than the other trailer.
So I went in and tried to get the bump out to push out and it wouldn't . Hmmm not sure why. Will play more with it but I am also going to start putting stuff from the other trailer into it. Well I figured out how to get it pushed out. I had to go outside and pull on the sticky side. I have it all the way out now. I wonder if there is someplace I can put WD40?
Lucky for me I had a family look at the old trailer last Sunday and they made me an offer and picked it up on Monday night. Gone , yay good by. Have a great time with it. I think they got a good deal, but at least I sold it and didn't take too big a loss.
Greg fixed the new trailer since it was all rotted underneath. I haven't been able to take a close look ,but I glanced underneath last night and it looks really really good. Hopefully all the other stuff in the trailer actually works. Never tried any of it before I bought it. duh
