Yer dar tootin' Dave!! I've been planning this for 5 years!!!! I'm somewhat nervous about using one of those uhaul carriers so I'm just going to take it slow and let the speeders blow by me...
 
Anyone ever use one of these before? Pulling it with my Yukon. One of me friends recommended investing in a brake controller. any thoughts on this?
 
Thanks all,
 
Paul
