Took a ride in the deuce from Front Royal VA up to Chambersburg PA today to pick up my new trailer. It will soon be stripped down into its components - the genset is going to be fixed, the trailer is going to AMG, and someone else has already called for all the laundry equipment.
Chambersburg has a new site rep - Justin has since left and gone on to bigger and better things, but his replacement Matt is a great guy. Helped me get all hooked up and guided me while I backed up the truck to the trailer.
Ride back was uneventful - very nice weather, the trailer towed like a dream, and almost no traffic. The deuce was a little slower with the trailer - it was a 10K pound trailer with all the equipment on it, and the deuce had about 4-5K of cargo in the bed (hey, I'm already loaded up for Aberdeen). It didn't buck and sway, but you felt the addl. weight back there. Only casualities the whole trip were: I lost one of the rubber chock blocks off the trailer somewhere between PA and VA, the chain holding it on was rusted and it vibrated off. I also lost the use of my blinkers en route - not sure why, one minute they worked, after that, nothing.
Total mileage - 220 miles. First big road trip with the spin on oil filters in place. Worked great and no leaks!
Thanks to dm22630 - who loaned me some front yard space to park my beast until Aberdeen.
