Trailer day tomorrow
Submitted by v28build on Fri, 2009-07-31 22:26Well, I think I may have found a trailer. Been checking the used sites (especially craigslist) and found one up a little north of Chattanooga that looks promising.

That has been corrected now, I believe, so if you have undying curiosity about head walls and things, then you can catch up :-)
