    A little over a year ago I became the proud owner of a 53' semi truck storage trailer. I danced around inside the thing for a couple of weeks while building out a ramp for front door access, then spent about four months packing and crating all my household goods inside. HHG -- household goods, right? Which brings me to the point.

    For several months I would tell people I bought a 53' semi truck storage trailer to store all my HHG. Then someone suggested what I really had was a dry van. I started using that, but still kept getting asked what I was talking about.

    So now I say I have a 53-foot semi truck dry van storage trailer full of HHG. I learned HHG by going to another site and looking up Trucking acronyms. What I didn't find was a shortened description of my 53-foot semi truck dry van storage trailer, or an appropriate acronym.

    Please tell me there is one! I thank you ever so kindly!

    Nice picture. But when was the last time you went under there and physically eyeballed each of the underframe floor frame members?
