We are home!
Around 650 miles and almost 640 of them in the rain.
No complaints here though.
We need the rain!
I bought this trailer listed on Ebay as a Haulmark Lowhauler 7 X 12.
It has all the whistles and bells, smooth exterior, finished interior, Cabinet with clothes hanger, diamond plate everywhere, mags, tandem axle brakes, etc.
Probably half of the thousand times I looked at the pictures on Ebay I thought, that looks bigger than 12".
At lunch today I told Bob that it looked longer than 12'.
He agreed, but we both figured it was the v-nose throwing our perspective off.
After 12 hours driving in the rain we got it home in it's space.
As I was walking to the house I thought, I need to get the tape and check it, it just looks longer than 12'.
It measured 14'. I went and looked at the title. Title read 7 X 14. I measure it again. 7 X 14!
I called Bob and asked him to measure his 7 X 12 trailer. It measured 12'.
WOW!
I have a 7 X 14 trailer that was sold as a 7 X 12 with all the whistles and bells and all serial #'s match and
it's a 7 X 14.
We all work hard to get what we want but every once in a while we get lucky. Today must have been my day.
I have to finish up by saying that a soggy day was made very bright by our seeing Bob and Ilene. They met us before we picked up the trailer so I also asked Bob to check out the trailer. Bob and Ilene it was a pleasure to see you today.
We will work on that vineyard trip in the spring!
