I have received several requests to forward to the lists the responses I got concerning the trailer topic, so here they are.
Thanks again for the great info!

if you are using a standard ball type tong go to any big camper
supply/dealer and ask for a master tong lock it fits over where the ball
goes and locks with a key easy to put on and we have never had anyone try to
mess with ours

I am getting ready to purchase a trailer for pulling my M151A2 to shows,
etc..
Rather than re-invent the wheel I am hoping that the good people out on the
newsgroup can help me out with some advice.
I take it a two axle trailer is pretty much a given, but are there any does
or don'ts that go with this. The tow vehicle is a brand new Dodge Dakota V8
with the towing package so I do not think gross weight is an issue for the
payload. But a lot of questions come to mind..... How to keep trailer from
being stolen once at the convention or show and you have unhooked it so that
you can get around town? Best straps to use to tie it down on the trailer?
Should I strip everything off of the jeep while transporting, radio and
pedestal mount, stuff like that? Any dumb trailer tricks I should try to
not duplicate? Things I should know to keep from having a towing accident,
stuff like that. Anything on the topic would be greatly appreciated from
the group. I do plan to bring the Mutt to the Kansas City convention this
year, really looking forward to my first convention. I suppose the do's and
don'ts for that could be a separate thread all together.
Hope everyone has had a great start into the new year!
