Default RE: Pull a 5x8 enclosed trailer with a car?

Dick,

I'll bet you get some strange looks on that one. I have a short be Ranger with a cap/topper on it. My 33% planes need to stick out the back with the tailgate down. Being the windows are dark tinted on the cap/topper, all you can see is the tail section. When someone is passing me I can sometimes see in the left rear view mirror that they are looking and have that "what the heck is that" look on their face.

then there are the ones that know exactly what they are looking at and honk and give me a thumbs up as the pass me. I even had a pretty cool older gentlemen follow me to the field a couple of years ago and spent the day with us just watching and having a blast. He's a pretty regular visitor now and we kinda made him an unofficial honorary member. He does not fly, he just shows up and tells jokes, his war stories when he flew in WWII and is just a great guy. We've offered him stick time but he's not interested, he just loves to watch
