I'd be real happy too!

Here is the lady that hand stitched the rug, she has worked for Karastan in Eden, NC for over 50 years.

Why does she need a hammer to make a rug??

For stay-tacking the seam into place to hold position while she sews it silly. The needle-nose pliars are for holding the needle.

If you touch the rug before you pay you get your fingers hit with hammer.

As Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich would say..."Keep a good thought."

Trailer guys -- Poulsen's Trailer Sales in Logan Utah -- says the trailer should be done by the first week in October....

I have a driving event (in the R8) - at INDE Motorsports Park in AriDzona late October - so if it all works out I might pick up the truck there (AriDzona) and take it to Indiana to pick up the trailer... We'll see. Sounds good now - but that time of year can be a bit hectic.

For most of on this site and many others it is bumper pull and goosenecks.... we got sucked in alot by the title...thus the original answers. At is was made clear in the answers money no object. Great for you. Come to NC and get a used meg RV moving house...bigger than mine real house and a hauler... they are all over here. Have some one drive it so you and the wife can take the back roads, This is not a gooseneck trailer conversation. That is for the working folks like me.

Would you like me to go back and change the title to:

Question for "cost no object guys" only...

Let me refer you to the Off Topic Forums -- start reading the INVESTING 102 thread... follow the instructions in there and maybe you'll be able to quit working and buy a bigger trailer?

BTW -- if you go back 18 MONTHS to the first post... you'll see that the original question was about a trailer (gooseneck) that I could tow using my F-350 Dually. What I ended up with some 55 pages of info later - was what I wanted, and I used much of the info learned in this thread to help shape my thinking. My hope is that others learned from it too... and had some fun along the way... and when they see me at an event (which many many folks on here do) they might even feel they had a hand in my new rig and get some joy in seeing it. Several people on here will also no doubt benefit from it at some event. They may need to take a shower - grab a cold beverage - or a hot cup of coffee... or just rest their weary bones... or maybe their wives might have a nice place to sit out of the sun and it makes their weekend a little better...
