Don't forget - your insurance may cover this. And even if you didn't take out a policy specifically for the trailer before you picked it up, your tow vehicle policy may still cover it, or your regular policy may provide for new purchases automatic coverage for several days after purchase (mine does).
In that case, just let the dealer find a replacement. Good Luck Jerry 4404 At 12:27 10/24/04, you wrote: >Howdy!
