You can still sit in the driver seat while you coast off the trailer and down a hill.
I've done that before. Except my tranny crossmember got hung up on the deck of the trailer with the nose on the ramp. I had to climb under, unbolt the crossmember, and hope that my emergency brake would hold because there was no driveline. Actually, I was pretty nervous at the time!  |

Well, with this group it always comes in handy. Others benefit as well.
In all reality the trailer has more to do with my dislike of methane and yack in my sleeping quarters e.g. see the vehicle pulling the trailer
Good job on getting the F-body's running again Davidson Bro's!

It is but I can't claim credit. The motorhome and trailer are my Dads. Both are pretty sweet. That trailer is really nice. Only thing I don't like is trying to load my GTA in the rain lol.

No, I think he's going to rattle can his white body panels to match the rest of the car until he can have a body shop do the whole thing  |
