: : So John, what make tractor do you pull you support trailer with??A Peterbuilt or a Kennworth. Greg
: Thanks Greg for not dissappointing me.I knew there would be something like that.If I said Freightliner, would I be in trouble?Actually I'm partial to Ford products and would prefer anything with a blue oval on the grill...
: Seriously though, except for the "long distance" items, you would be surprised what fits in a plastic tool box from WallyWorld.If the family insists on going along, especially the kids, we pull a repo Mullins for baggage since there ain't much room in a '29 Town Sedan with two teenagers!However, I don't get to drive much these days, one of them usually wants to do the driving!I just do the riding mechanic bit.But I'll gladly let them do that as long as they want to....
: Happy touring to all!!!

i am reminded, somehow, of an old friend's experience back during the war---he received an official-looking letter informing him that his neighbours had elected him to be the civil defence " fire warden" for his area---which then went into great detail about the sand-bucket, stirrup-pump, ladder, axe, shovel, first-aid chest, and i forget what all else which he would be required to carry as he walked his rounds
