[Public-List] Trailer for Sale ?

[milleype at kingston.net]

Hi Don,

 Your advise is accurate and sound from my experience. Four years ago 
when I had my trailer custom made I was further advised by a colleague 
who is an international boat hauler to have my trailer conform to the 
strictest  jurisdictions for both Canada and the United States; the 
Province of Quebec and the state of Pennsylvania. As such, in addition 
to break away provisions, I had both surge brakes with a 15,000 lb 
actuator and electric brakes professionally installed. I now have the 
flexibility of taking Ginseng south in the fall from Kingston or east 
in the summer to Nova Scotia without the worries associated with a 
roadside inspection by a regulatory agency.
