Here is a visual. Note that the picture with the black trailer is how someone looks who just realizes that a car hauler is NOT wide enough. If it has fenders,.. It isn't wide enough ;-( An hour later, we had moved up to a 30,000 lb dozer trailer (CDL required) which turned out to be perfect! The ramp angle kept the tail high, 8ft + wide bed was just right. With just the gear and the engine mounts tied down, it moved around some which was good but didn't move forward or back. It takes a pretty good assortment of heavy tie downs but it really wasn't as much of a problem as I thought it would be. 45 mph on the freeway was easy, the problem was with the side roads which were pretty rough with a heavy trailer and no load. A 20 mile trip in about 40 minutes. Took 5 minutes to set the ramps and back it off. Good Bogy-Bar is a requirement! <<...>> <<...>> <<...>> <<...>> If's funny, I was a nervous Nellie but my buddy's who did the majority of the loading were just fearless. As Allen said, " who cares, it's not my airplane". (arms raised ;-) Apparently that takes all the stress off :-) Bill S 7a getting closer to the runway Checked by AVG - www.avg.com 05:53:00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv7-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV7-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv7-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv7-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
