If you have U-Haul in Canada I'd check with them. They have hitch
assemblies for almost everything and install them for reasonable
prices.

Don't think they have one for the Highlander. Neither Reese nor Curt have them either.

I sold the 15 foot Yukon 2 years ago when I caught the Two footitis

You have a 17 ft boat now? No wonder you are having so much trouble

moving it around.



We gave him plenty of suggestions back then... If I was him I would

already have a used self propelled 5 horse push mower rigged up with a

handle and throttle to move the thing around...

Duh!
Instead of looking for a aecond hand mower that I would have to have a
handle and trailer ball fabricated onto it, why wouldn't I just buy
this at princess Auto for $420.00??

Or you could have hired PsychoSnotty to lift up the front of the trailer
and sashay it down the driveway. He's good at sashaying, and it might
work out but for his bum knee, bum heart and cancer.

Why is it exactly, that you need to have monthly physicals.

There's no uphill at your place. 12" elevation from street level, Maybe.

If that $420 powered dolly will work, I'd go that route. If you could
find a front hitch for your Highlander, by the time you had it
professionally installed, you would have spent more.

Who says he needs a pro install? Didn't you know he went to vocational
high school

Look, is the pig from the north still trolling me. First off, I could
back the trailer in no problem, second, he had his chance to be tough
guy and he ran like a krause......

Sorry MinnieMan, I only run forward.
You were the cowardly no show.

I had no idea people took their dogs along with them to RV parks...this

Don't worry. We won't be going anywhere near your cinderblock haven.





I wonder if the twins have found his guns in the basement living quarters?

krause must also remember to put away his Butt Plug.

Nope, a campground is the best place to take your animals. And, they can't be left in a tent. Ergo,

an RV becomes a necessity. But, yes, it's nice to have a campfire to sit around!

And, to be honest, if I had the bucks I'd have one of those big, beautiful, diesel pusher

motorhomes! When I see my buddy back his motorhome into a tight spot with ease, after I've just

sweated bullets passenger-side backing my trailer into a similar spot, I get mighty jealous.





Get something like this. There are variations available for $60 or so...



http://www.amazon.com/Rear-View-Safe...06422 &sr=1-6

My wife is my back up camera!





My wife never made a good back assistant for me.



I had a camera in the Pace Arrow Class A we had. The day we picked it

up I was attempting to back it down a narrow gravel driveway I had made

for it that is lined with trees and has a slight curve to it. Jim knows

what I am talking about.



I asked my wife to stand behind the RV where I could see her in the

camera and let me know if I was going to hit any branches, etc., while

backing it in.



So, I started backing up with her waving for me to proceed. Then she

started shaking her head back and forth causing me to jam on the brakes.



She then motioned for me to start backing up again. As soon as I

started moving she began shaking her head again. Jam on the brakes.



After about the third time I jumped out and asked her what the problem

was. She said, "nothing, you are doing fine".



"So why are you shaking your head "NO" everytime I start moving? I asked.



She said, "I am saying , "NO", you aren't going to hit anything.



That's funny. But *totally* understandable. The other one that get's me is the 'polar bear salute' -

both palms up in a 'I don't know' pose.



If I had a Class A, I'd definitely go for the camera. I believe a camera on the back of the trailer

would further confuse the issue!



I ask my wife to stay where she can see me in the truck mirror and point which way I should make the

rear of the trailer go. She clasps her hands when I should stop. Works pretty well, most of the

time. The best thing would be for the women to back the rigs in a few times. Then they would

understand the kind of directions needed.



It's OK to get one for a rig that size. Don, however, needs a lot more

practice with a little boat that you can see over.

That's cause after all the years of dancing with a Mop as a Janitor, Donnies neck is fused so he cant turn it.
Helps when hes fellating krause too.
