We are recovered from our rally in Pismo Beach (the 5th annual Trail Along to Pismo) and as usual, it was loads of fun....except we couldn't get around to see many trailers due the constant stream of folks wanting to see our trailer.
Ok, so I know our trailer is unique due to the fact it is all original, inside and out, and in perfect, unrestored condition. This is why so many folks want to see it. So, taking a cue from museums and other historical sites, we have decided to get one of those headphone sets that you put on when you come in and the taped narrative will walk the visitors through the whole tour, while I sit outside, on my vintage Eames chair and enjoy a martini. All I will have to do is ask folks to sign the guest book. I then can wander around and look at other folks' trailers and look cool in my Chi Chi Rodriquez straw hat.
We had no problems with towing, flats, tires, axles, or any other issues, so that was a plus. I talked to a few guys in the know, and have decided to try to find a 10 ply (or higher) tire for the trailer. They aren't easy to find, but I think I'd feel better knowing I had the beefiest tire I can get, especially since I have a single axle. I did put skid plates under the new leaf springs, so if I have a repeat of the tow, blow, go fiasco, at least it won't shear off anything.
We are signed up for the South Lake Tahoe rally in Sept., so hope to see our aluminati friends there.
