I spent a whole lot of time reading the link and was heartbroken when I read about your accident.... er.. windfall.

Its just good you walked away unharmed. Thats what is important.

I am just curious, have you attempted to tow the trailer without the load and sway mechanisms?

I am curious because there was a time when these things did not exist and somehow we all managed to tow trailers without it.

I understand trying to be as safe as possible but as you mentioned on your wesite that anti sway mechanism seemed to bite you in the proverbial butt. I have to wonder if the trailer tracked well on its own. I mean, with 3 axles and good tongue weight it should track really nice. Tongue weight is everything.

The work you have done is amazing. I also love the 50's vintage of the decorations inside the parlor, nice touch.
