Just an update on my recovery from my accident in June.

[JDaniel]

I am heading to Florida on Feb. 28th. If we can get the trailer to Ohio I can deliver it to Mike.

As My daughter lives in Jacksonville, Fl and is having a baby in Feb.

I will be traveling down to Florida a lot this year.

If we can get it closer (to the east coast) I will bring it the last leg.

I'll be heading to Cantonment, Fla. in May or if it needs to be stored in Talladega Alabama I have room for it and I am sure my Dad will let it rest a while in Cantonment if need be.

If we can get it started east I can pick it up in Illinois or Indiana and take it the rest of the way to Florida. Any members out west who can start it east?

I'm having a lot of trouble with my schedule right now. It seems I'm always on the road between Phoenix and Tucson. But I'm about 7 hours from Kanab area.

 

If I can get some time in the next couple of weeks, can I tow trailer with my Yukon XL? I have standard 2" ball. But I'm concerned with the height of the hitch which is set for my sailboat. I think I have a 4 inch drop I can put on unless I gave it away...

 

thoughts?

I believe he has a 1 7/8" ball coupler on it now. It's bent up and can't be used, so he ordered an new one. As they are only $7.99 at Harbor Freight, I don't see why it just couldn't be swapped out with a 2" ball coupler, they are only held on with 2 bolts.

They use to sell 1 7/8 balls with a 3/4" shank and a bushing that made the shank 1". That would probably be easier to swap out and send down the line.

If you put a 2" coupler on the trailer to get it started then it will not work on a bike down the road. It would be easier to get the 1-7/8 ball to put on your receiver.

 

It might make it easier to find relay links if you start a dedicated thread?
