My absense from the forum is mostly a casualty of "Teardrop-time" as well as oppressive Fayetteville summer heat, and now compounded by a move to Tennessee.
So... The Nest'r maiden voyage will a bit ignoble but definitely a 'shakedown' as far as trailerablity issues are concerned. The indignity that befalls her? She will be used in lieu of a U-Haul trailer.
No pretty scenery, no smoke from campfires, no cozy mattress to sleep upon. She's stuffed with gear and bicycles and hitched up for duty; 300 miles to Northeast Tennessee.
In preparation for the journey every bolt was re-tightened, and the wheel bearings re-packed. All the bolt-ons, well, were bolted on. Windows added, door mounted, vent bolted down, and all the lights wired and functioning.
So here she is ready for a hard-day's drive:
Hopefully she'll still look as good upon arrivall!
