    Some places need the tandems slid back, most places it is not a requirement. I had 1 that had to be slid up to line it up and slid clear back to get the trailer to match the height of the dock and slid back up again to drive away.

    They moved, hope I never see that miserable place again.

    Nah, as nice as it was not getting dirty and sweaty and having to shower twice a day, I wouldn't trade a skateboard for two of those big ol white boxes. I felt kind of dirty the whole trip...just didn't feel right having that van trailer behind me.
