...and people wonder why I went with 22' when I ordered my trailer for my 'little' 40hp tractor.

Yup! Up in the air so when it flies forward at a quick stop it goes right over the tailgate and into the back window.

Not completely true - they resold all their old camping trailers. I know 'cause I own one.

I remember often going by a U-Haul repair facility that always had trailers for sale, but they now say they don't sell trailers.

That's because they run them far past the time they are safe to use. I've never gotten anything from U-Haul that had any business being on the road.

I rented a single horse trailer from U-Haul once long ago. One wheel bearing went out and the wheel almost fell off. Gee, that was fun, a half wild horse in a trailer beside the road while I went to find a new bearing. Luckily I had some tools with me. The one and only time I rented from U-Haul. They did pay me for the bearing though.

So you experienced that U-Haul slogan - A Moving Adventure. I laughed everytime I saw it - what a dumb slogan!
