Re: [VACList] Plans for airstream hauler

David,

Actually, yes.  The same one.  LOL.

I scoped  out one of the U-Haul recovery trucks on the road the other day to 
see how they handle trailer loading and noticed that they have a ball tower, 
apparently with wheels, that rides in a track up over the cab of the truck 
with a winch at the end of the track.  Seems it could easily be fabricated 
for a flat bed trailer.  Tower thingy looked like a jack stand with a ball on 
top.  Track just looked like a couple of angle irons to steer the ball tower, 
hence the trailer, up on the middle of the recovery vehicle.  Looking for a 
trailer with a full ramp, rather than just the two wheel ramps on most lowboys. 
Just thinking out loud at this point, but will be retiring to a big enough 
spread to restore/refurbish trailers within about 2 years.
