    Although I was pretty confident, I just got the word that the trailer is mine. I will head over tomorrow and do a final walk through and sign the papers.
    Congrats, you getting the 40'?

    The 32' i picked up this weekend killed my F150 suspension. My Truck is rated for 11500, trailer was supposedly 10500, it bottomed out my suspension...lol.
    I only had to pull it about 100 miles to the property. I never got over 60mph @ 8mpg. I used a 1/2 tank of gas. If we were using it to travel camp i will need to get a F350 instead of the F150.

    Yes, 40' 8" to be exact. This trailer is pretty much made to sit in place. Doesn't really have the aerodynamics of a travel trailer.

    Not long ago just a few miles NE of Huntsville. Shortly after just wet roads, 10 miles later dry and a bit later at home, more hail and shredded leaves everywhere.

    Last week a neighbor had their cars repaired after hail damaged them a few weeks ago. :eek:

    Buy a lottery ticket, you're on a streak.

    I hear ya, the wife was nervous just due to the situation. Ive had to haul some pretty heavy stuff in a 1/2 that was worse than the feel of the trailer on the truck. Most the time i was rolling 55. I had the option to call someone with a bigger truck if needed. But didnt feel too uncomfortable on the drive. I figured once it gets to the property its gunna sit anyway so all i had to do was get it there one time.
