Hi Mike,

So have you thought of how you are going to get it off?

Loading bay of a local firm and then drive / tow it home?

You ever see when a guy pulls a tablecloth out from under the table setting?
We are going to gun the truck and the Hafi at the same time, and it'll just drop straight down safely.

Funny!!

This is a picture worth a thousand words! Measurements said that would work but now I am sure, ha ha.

Good luck on your trip. I will be hauling from Denver to East TN about the middle of June.

thanks,

Hi Mike

We would love to see a vid of the Haflinger-tablecloth trick!

Good luck

Just have a look on "UTube" for how to not unload a car and see the various things that happen. Then have a look at this:-

Eric,
Off the trailer, that truck tops out at 64km/h moved by its 643cc boxer twin. How fast will it travel when under the influence of Bavarian?
Take care.

Jim -

Under Bavarian control, we were cruising at 128km/h on the autobah... I-5. Through the mountains we were able to happily pass slower vehicles on the inclines. The fuel consumption with the trailer was 13L/100km.
