RE: [VAL] Re: Rear end dragging

["Tom" <tmeeker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

She could tow that Airstream without any bars.  That Suburban wouldn't drop
1/4 of an inch. ;)  She "could" put some wheels on the rear end of the
trailer for times like these -- unless it would take away from the integrity
of the trailer.

What about some welded skid plates that would be meant to be "abused"?  That
would safe her trailer from wear and take the abuse "gently" wouldn't it?

If she were to have some "steps" leading from the street level up to the top
of the sidewalk she drives across -- wouldn't that work?  What about using
the orange colored squares in a "beveled stack"?  Those would be the orange
squares a lot of us use to level or trailers on a site.

Patti?  Do you own any of the orange leveling squares?  Yet? ;)  If worst
came to worst couldn't you have a wide 2" x 12" board about 8 feet long onto
which you have a 2" x 6", 8 foot board which has a 2" x 4", 8 foot board on
top of it?  This would give you 3 steps upward to the sidewalk for a total
of almost a 6" rise by 8 feet wide.  You could have these boards screwed
together and glued for an extra measure of safety so they'd never slip out
from under each other.  If you added a couple of wide poly wheeled fixed
casters on the "top" side of this "step" you could easily transport this
"step" while it is upside down to and from your back patio all by yourself.
To try and drag or carry 3 boards of this size would be difficult I think
for you if it didn't have large rolling wheels on one end.  This of a
wheelbarrow and how much weight you can push or pull because of the wheel.
Sort of the same thing here but with 2 wheels instead of one.
