Tom,

It took me a couple of tries before I could get it all to go also. I will
admit, it can get a bit tight with a 16'. That is why when I bought my
trailer, I decided on an 18'. Also wanted to be able to pile on more stuff
too! I went with the car hauler and 8.5' wide so I had easier access
getting on and off, not to mention the ability to carry something larger, if
necessary.

Jim

BRAVO - Jim Rice,

I hate to admit it but I've been trying to figure out how to load a jeep and

a trailer onto a 16' trailer for a couple of years now. Been looking at
adding about 3 feet to the back of my trailer.

I've tried the obvious, jeep/trailer - but too long, then tried backing
trailer onto trailer with jeep backwards and the tongue under the jeep, but
makes tail of trailer too heavy. Even towed jeep on a 12' trailer with MBT
hitched to pintle and rolling on it's own wheels. The solution's simple
once
you are hit over the head. Put the cart before the horse and it fits. Oh
well !! To use another cliche you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Thanks Jim.
