[Rhodes22-list] Fwd: Re: trailer question

[Peter Thorn]

John,

As I understand it, you just want some measurements from a R22 trailer, so
you can adjust your generic trailer to fit your RC, right?

I have a 2003 triad trailer at my garage right now because I'm fixing it up
with a few improvements prior to putting it under my R22 for the season.
Currently, all the bunks are off the trailer.  In a few days they will all
be back on and if you are patient I may be able to help you.  Exactly what
measurements do you need?

PT
