Slowmover,
You remind me of my dad.
He was a good man. Thank you for your time on the matter.
In a perfect world, I would have all of the safety features and would follow most of the things you recommend. I don't know if I clarified, but I don't do this for a living. I help some of my friends once in a while and get to see the US and Canada. But again, I know that a lot of what you suggest should be followed by most folks using a trailer and few do.
