Default Maiden Voyage

Welcome to the club. I was just 13 years old in 1961 when an old and dear family friend took me camping and fishing on some wonderful Arkansas lakes. He had a 58 Chevy pickup with a 14 foot aluminum boat on an overhead rack, a 25HP motor with fishing gear and all the accoutrement's in the truck bed and, the infamous 25 foot trailer in back.

We were exactly 10 miles out of town when he pulled off to the side of the road and said you drive from now on. GULP! Needless to say, just about everything you experienced we all learned at some point in out towing lives. That was my first and only lesson and I have never looked back since even in tight places.

Good luck and welcome to the TM owners. You might try some extended side mirrors. The older I get, the more they help. Wish you many years of enjoyment.
