This is the motor I drive now, ( I know, I retired but I came back ) This trailer was built for a special job, it has extensions fitted at the rear, they fold out so the load bed is not impeded by the cover when loading/unloading. When I first saw it I thought it was a rather big cover for a coil carrier, It is really a very clever idea for what it is designed to carry. Regards Kev.0

Hi kev ,
You still driving this motor , ?
If so it was me that passed you on tuesday morning south bound at the 59 slit in the transporter .
Regards Davey .
