Trailers are different than cartopping or storage. Few trailers have shock absorbers and even fewer are sprung for the very light weight they will carry in kayak transport service.

I learn something new every day, at least that is my goal. :-) michael *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
