[Rhodes22-list] Bunk Boards

[Julie Thorndycraft]

In the process of confirming total weights for towing, I checked with Triad
(makers of the Rhodes trailers) regarding the single and tandem axle
trailers. The single weighs 1000lbs and the tandem is 1500lbs. This is of
course, for the new trailers - don't know how much they have changed over
the years.
