Thanks harleyhouse! Got 2 safety chain extensions per trailer, each one is 36" long. I figure, if I just get one chain and connect 2 existing safety chains through the vehicle, then if it breaks then both safety will go, whereas if independnt then if one fails then I may still have one more...

Does anyone know if there is a big empty area right outside the Barstow base gate, that we can test drive the trailer and fix whatever problems? Like a huge parking lot of some kind. I looked at teh Google map and it looks like a big empty land right outside the gate, on the north side of the...

Thanks clutzer! I see what you and mainsail are saying now. Do you know how much slack ahead of the lunette ring the safety chains wil go? Can you tell me the exac spec that I would need at Home Depot? Or do I just tell them that I need Quick Link chains? RRS has a big tow ring at bumper...

Hey clutzer, I planned to take off the tarp/bow when I pick up the M1102 next week at GL, to reduce wind resistance. Do you think I will have a lot of problems? Do you think I need to bring power drill to drill the screws out? If screws don't come out, can I just remove the tarp easily and...

Mainsail, I thought about where to put the safety chairs, but then I remembered your photo so I had already planned to do the same. Thanks for the reminder!

Got the CA DMV permit at no fee, bulb, and hitch.

Silverstate55, point well taken! CA 99 it is!

Your H1 is awesome, clutzer! I would not worry about the MPG, yet. :-)

Thanks for the info, clutzer! Your thread was very informative. As the clock ticks away, I am working on the following: 1. To permit or not to permit... Is it me or is the CA DMV instructions a little bit hard to decide which permit is necessary...

That 2009 trailer of yours is very nice, Chris! I was eyeing one several weeks back, might even be your event, but it would be too hard to travel from McChord to CA through all the moutanin passes.

Thanks very much again, Silverstate55!! You are just a wealth of great information! I will definitely keep your advice in mind, specifically about the tire situation. No, I do not have a spare. The GL photo looked good so I did not think I would have a tire problem, but you never know right...

Thank you Silverstate! I am a novice at towing, and this will be my first attempt at getting a trailer. I did not realize I can get stopped while taking the trailer back to Sacramento. How do you guys take deliver of your trailers? If CHP stops me, will they understand that I just got this...

Thanks Harold! Did not know I have to have lights on during the day to tow. I will now go pick up some temp trailer lights. Yeah, re-wiring it in the rain or hot sun is not exciting...

Thanks Chris! Sorry, it was totally there and I should have my eyes checked! Yes, that does look pretty good.... You are giving me ideas...

Thanks Chris! You have so many links/picture at your blog, so I am having hard time finding the M1102. I think my Range Rover Sport can tow up to 7700 lbs, but picturing it with 2 trailers behind it is a bit out of my mental league...

Thanks for the advice, Harold! I will try to do the move during day time and that may save me from buying trailer lights. Already spend $600 on the hitch assembly to get the RRS tow ready! I think the M1102 is rated to go 55mph max, so the drive will be painfully slow for almost 7 hours. So...

Thanks for your photos, Hundy! I will keep you in mind for sure. I am trying to get someone to go down with me to get both trailers. If no one is available, then I will need to have someone pick up both at Barstow, park at Barstow, and I will go down in 2 separate weekends to drive them up...

Thanks for the tips, nf6x! That's a nice M1102 you got! I just hope the ones I will get will be as nice. You never know about those GL pictures. They look good from afar, but no close up shots or videos, at least the ones from my event. I looked very closely at the M1102 operator's manual...

Hello all, First time posting here. Very grateful for all the information that has been exchanged on this site thus far! I won two M1102 trailers at Barstow in Mid-March. I actually wanted just one, but did not see a "you won the lot" confirmation email at 5pm EST, so went and chased after...
