The big issue with us is Andrea's SH> health is so bad in teh winter she uses all her vacation days up being SH> sick. I understand that only too well. I'm probably about 14 hours south if you take the Interstates. I have some friends who live in Chicago that I want to visit and I figure I could take a side trip and say hi to UDD too while I'm "in the area". Fun fact: I much prefer to tow a trailer with a manual transmission than an automatic. I'd like a trailer like the 16' Scamp standard...specifically this layout: https://www.scamptrailers.com/showroom/16-trailers/16-layout-5 But Scamps are very expensive and there is a long wait time from the factory so I'd probably get another used ultralight brand of trailer. SH> Good luck. I should hear something, good or bad, in a couple of months.
