[QUOTE="Shari, post: 125594, member: 1848"] When I was still living at home, my parents got this great idea to take our 18 foot boat down the Mississippi river to St Louis from mid-Iowa. Since we had NO idea what we were doing, how to follow the channel, how to navigate the river/locks and dams/where we'd get gas/ANYTHING, we decided that we had better take a land vehicle and the boat trailer along with us (which we took turns driving along the river roads for the duration of the trip). We learned that boat trailers are made to be loaded - not drag down bumpy, holey, wash-board-y gravel roads for days on end with nothing on them. Cause when they go down said roads, they bounce themselves apart. Our boat trip went fine, but the trailer trip...not so much. I think we used 6 rolls of duct tape in that 4 day trip to hold the trailer together til we could find the next farm and pay $20 or $30 to use the welder to weld the trailer back together, only to repeat the process 3-4 times a day...
