[VAC] Re: Trip report
John - I have heard over the years that the old trailers were designed to
be pulled by autos, not the heavy duty suspension of a modern heavy duty
truck. A heavy duty suspension can cause rivits to come loose and break.
I guess I'm OK because the trailer did great - even bouncing over some of
our less then smooth interstates. In fact I'm amazed - I tried to be real
careful, but we got some pot holes out there that could swallow a small
Airstream.
