First Steps - Tow to Metro RV

Today the Westerner got towed from the sellers home to Metro RV, all in Los Angeles. So far everyone is being really friendly and helpful. Don from Larry's Towing said "that's one real nice trailer, real nice", and also suggested that we install a type A trailer hitch onto Joseph's truck. He said he's seen too many trailers that have broken free of the bumper hitch. I guess a tow truck man would know, as he's seen his share of trailer carnage I'm sure. He didn't seem to think installing new electric brakes would be needed as the trailer is quite light (only 1450).

We talked to Jessie at Metro RV about our list of things to check out and things to do. Basically an inspection for road worthy safety:

• safety chain
• spare tire & jack
• possible electric brakes?
• type A trailer hitch for truck?
• re-grease & re-pack wheel bearings
• running lights & turn signals
• interior lights
• fix storage bin lock
• wiring harness for joe's truck

We'll talk again Monday for an estimate and next steps.
