check your equipment, have a cell phone, have a pistol  renting a trailer is scary business. most folks dont know how to trailer. i didnt. |
god that was good! yep the 1800 help me penske/uhaul are just wonderful phone numbers to have in your pocket. they respond like a luke air force base combat air patrol dont they??????hahahahahaha
another tip if you have problems and this is on the top ten list of how to survive baja..........if you have any problems get the rig as FAR AS POSSIBLE OFF OF THE ROAD! changing flats etc. w/semis whipping by at 85 95 mph is a sure way of meeting yer maker. get it the hell off the road. friend of mine killed at alamo lake az. with a broken down truck years ago. broke down vehicle died in roadway, dark night, van came around corner and nailed him dead. dying aint no way of living!
