TuNdRa CaN tOw ThE sPaCe ShUtTLE tHo... derp On my road trip out west, you'd probably not be surprised the amount of campers going down the road behind half ton pick-ups looking like that - these people are nuts IMO. There was a 25-35mph cross wind coming back across SD last Friday - I was shocked not to see any of them in the ditch. Half of them clearly didn't have load leveling and anti-sway bar kits - ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally saw one set up pulled over this year. It's only allowed in specific set ups but guys just use anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a little kid a guy in town had one that nobody could get to run right. My dad was a cop but got his mechanics license in trade school in London and worked as a mech. there and figured it out for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that tandem trailers aren't allowed in Maine., lol We used to go to Bangor, ME to pickup our canoes and kayaks from Old Town instead of paying the freight. They also sold 10 hauler open canoe trailers that were setup to haul tandem by adding a trailer ball. The hookup for the lights and safety chains were in place. We didn't know the laws and Old Town sold us the extra trailer knowing what we were going to do and didn't tell us that it wasn't legal. Anyway, we sent a guy up to pickup the load. He got going down the turnpike and the trailers started to sway back and forth. He got nervous and hit the brakes, trailers tumbled and the State Troopers informed the driver that it wasn't legal, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw all kinds of shit like this, but this was the most egregious. This Van Leigh is way bigger than Cougars and Reflections, which I saw plenty of behind half tonners too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
