    Noooo... that's not cool... :biggrin_25523: I hate soccer... and kids...? :biggrin_25512:
    I don't carry people... I carry "stuff".... that Toyota has some good cargo space... all the seats on the second and third row can be removed if I want... no bells and whistles like the SUVs I saw... but it's strong V-6 3.5L which is good enough for now... Will take my rusted Blazer to the body shop as soon as they can take it... I want to keep that baby... :yes2557:

    By looks of the position of the landing gear, he started to. But probably got to hot.

    If it were me... I sure as hell wouldnt have wasted time worrying about the #### landing gear or air lines and pig tails!!! Just jerk the pin and mash on the throttle hard enough that even if it did bounce on the tires I could still get clear of the trailer.

    I agree...
    Right now I have a 5th wheel that is so good. I really don't need to use my hook rod to pull on it. Was just thinking. Need to make sure I can find it easy. Just in case something like that. Need to reach in there and pull real quick like.
    When loading the other day. I saw a dry van that got loaded with bulk. I think it was wood chips? Couldn't have been very heavy? The sides of the van couldn't take very much.
    My boss told me he has done that. The receiver would do a good job of cleaning the van after.
