    Looking at the pics of that trl. I see wasted deck space because of those Hyd. rams...
    That can mess a guy up on trying to bridge a ld..
    Better your boss than me with that trl...

    Up thru the country. 22 north to 23 west across the Hudson. To 145 ........then a bunch of other numbered county roads Til I get to rte 5 just around 90. I am headed to Danube NY.
    Once when I was at the farm I forgot to bring lunch. 45 minute drive @ speed to get to a single aisle grocery store...big difference for a suburbanite/urbanite like myself.

    They have pins that you can pull out and everything folds down flat inside the trailer. I didnt need the space so I left it as is. Its a bit involved to make it work,.. but if by your self and no fork lift around to flip your axle over,.. the hydraulic arms make quick work of it. He has a mechanical RGN also that uses air for most everything and the rear flip is manual and needs a forklift. Setting the pins is a PITA on that trailer. Inserting them on this one was actually very easy.

    Same in my personal truck. This one has a fridge,.. no microwave. Been using the truck stop microwave to heat my frozen food. It does have a 2000 watt inverter,.. forman grill does hamburger pattys nicely.

    We forgot our kitchen knife set in my truck in mass. I went in Flying J and bought a long utility knife to cut up our tomatoes and onions for the burgers.

    Ok,, I can flip a axle or neck with just the trk.. Yea kinda makes a loud bang, but it works...
    Thanks for the fill in on how you can lower them and still use the rear deck then..

    Seems like it would add a fair amount of weight to the rear of the trailer.
