    Insurance claim setteled - I am satisified for the first time ever.

    Straight line wind / F-0 tornado. Flipped trailer over daughters college transportation. Progressive, said their market research found a few trailers a little cheaper and a few a little more than what I insured for, so they paid me what I had the value listed at.

    Insurance claim setteled - I am satisified for the first time ever.

    Progressive came out right away and looked the rig over. They paid me what I had it insured for on the spot and that is all I can ask. I still lost a few thousand from what I paid for it, but only a few. It is a good thing we were not upside down in a loan.

    Thanks. The only clip it has looks like a flat band that wraps half way around it on both ends. I would need a flat head to pop the clip up or off to remove it I think......Any harm doing this? Not sure why they would attach the door holders on the outside if they didn't want you to?

    Weight Stations (Arkansas) and others.

    I saw a state law list by AAA that says if your passenger vehicle or combo of vehicle and trailer had a GVWR of 10,000lb or more in AR. you had to pull in to the weight stations???????? Any other states that require this? My truck is 7200 and trailer is 8600 so combined I am well over 10,000 GVWR

    Made my own slide glide sticks

    I cut them very easily with a jig saw. You have to brace it on a bench so your cutting close to the edge of the bench other wise it just vibrated and doesn't cut. Sorry, no pic yet they are in the TT and it's raining cats and dogs out. Here is what I used.
