I really, really hope something works, even if it does seem impossible at this stage! What if you came a bit late? OK, I guess that'd be pushing it...but man...I was so looking forward to finally meeting you two!

Good evening everyone...

We picked up the truck today but no trailer yet - tomorrow. Trail ride this weekend!

Woo-hoo! I'm excited for you! What's the trail like? Is it pretty close by?

Cool. Is the current hitch at the right height? How about the wiring harness... same type? That would sure simplify things.

Yep, I couldn't find anything definitive on Google, but that's the one that seemed most likely. Good find!

Nope the plug is the wrong one... the trailer plug is a round three prong dealy.

Won't know till tomorrow if the wiring itself needs to be replaced or we just need to have the right plug added. I'm to see that they leave the boat plug there and just add on the new one too.

Probably the current hitch extension is too high, but I have it with me to check.

7 miles from here is several thousand acres of state forest with lots of trails. :~D

Well, it's not the timing so much (although that will be tight too) it's the money situation (I expect we'll be pretty tapped out...)

New truck?

Heh, we saw a Ford 350 at the used car place, made me think of you...

No - dad is loaning his to us for now... We'll be having to take it back up to him and kindof trade off... maybe every other weekend. He will give it to us for good when he makes a decision on a new one :~D

Glad you'll soon have a car. Hope it works out well for you. Is the rental affordable in the mean-time?

Yah... gotta keep the boat lights. Yeesh... you'd think such a thing could be pretty well standardized by now.

It's like worrying about buying ~compatible~ electrical plugs for your sockets.

Exactly. The wiring and the plug on the trailer looks a lot heavier duty than the existing. It has to power the trailer brakes, not just lights. I bet they have to put in new.

Yeah, we're getting the rental at a good weekly rate, so it's pretty affordable. Not much choice really... bus routes from where we live to where we need to go aren't really available. Well, not without riding the bus for a couple of hours in the morning and evening, every day...

I am afraid of buses, so I don't blame you.

I'm afraid of getting on the wrong one and not knowing where it's going. I've been on a city bus maybe twice in my life ;~D

Ack... forgot about the trailer brakes. Yah. That's new equipment. New harness and ever'thin.

Woulda' been nice to have trailer brakes for the sailboat trailer. That thing is freakin' heavy. Probably up there with the horses. Scary on the highway.

That happened to me once, on a school bus. Wound up going to my uncle's house by mistake.

I almost posted "what movie?" but then I remembered. No, haven't seen it yet, may get to it this weekend, not sure yet.
